BOPS.

firm, and planters anticipate a still further improvement.
Continental markets are not active, but most of them
gradually increase in strength. The imports of foreign hops
Into London last week consisted of 230 bales from Antwerp,
17 Bremen, 67 Hamburg, and 20 Rotterdam.

SEED.
LONDON, Monday, Jan. 4.-There was very little English
Cloverseed offering to-day. Fine purple qualities were held
very high, but common descriptions were purchasable at
moderate rates. The best French red was held for more
money, as were fine samples of American, but the state of ,
the weather restricts business in all sorts. New white
Mustardseed was taken off in small lots at no quotable
change in price. Scarcely any transactions took place in
brown, although good qualities can be purchased at
moderate rates. There was no alteration in Canaryseed :
this article continues to be held so very high, that buyers
take the smallest parcels possible. Dutch ilempseed sold
quietly at previous currencies. Fine English Rapeseed was
disposed of in small lots on former terms.
