POTATOES.

The supplies offering were moderately large, and in excess
of the demand. Sound potatoes were worth as much money,
14ut inferior sorts were weak and irregular. Kent Regents,
110 s. to 130 s. ; Essex Regents, 100 s. to 1255. ; Scotch Regents.
1001. to 150 s. ; rocks, 85s. to 959. ; kidneys. 120 s. to 140 s. ;

HOPS.
The demand for hops continues on a very moderate scale.
Fine hops, which remain scarce, command full prices, but
medium and inferior produce is difficult to sell, and barely
supports previous rates. Foreign hops are offered freely,
and their value has had a downward tendency. Choice
qualities, however, are taken off.at full currencies. Mid and
East Kent goldings, 1675, £6 108. to £8; Mid Lents, 1875,

SEED. .
LONDON, Monday, Feb. 21.—There was a very limited sip- .
ply of English Cloverseed, which commanded very high
prices ; foreign qualities were in good demand, at enhaneed
values for the better sorts of both white and red. Trefoil '
sold steadily at the full rates of last week. Oanaryseed •
could be bought on lower terms. Foreign Tares'were in fair
request, at the. full ratei of last week. Large Scotch Gores
were scarce and in fair demand, at very high prices English
Rapeseed realised quite as much money. White and brown .
Mustardseeda were held at last week's prices, but few tran-
sactions took plaCe in either sort. Grass seeds were saleable
at very fall rates. Hempseed realised fernier currencies . •
steadily. White Millet-seed was rather dear.
