HOP INTELLIGENCE.

Matnerons, Oct. 7.—We have yesterday and to-day
I made some considerable progress with our picking, but the
recent heavy rains and high winds have done us considerable
injury, so far as preventing our getting in the hops so fast as
we could have wished. The crop continues to answer the
espectations of the planters, and the general opinion is that
an average aerearre of from 12 to 13 cwt. will be obtained.
The duty is still called 260,0001.
B•ILDIN.—We have received considerable injury from
the floods and the winds, but we shall still grow en average
of 12 cwt. per acre.
M•LLING.—We are picking as fast as the weather will
permit us. Average acreage estimated at 10 cwt.
BANENDIN, Oct. 7.—The picking will now shortly be
brought to a close, weather permitting. The wind and wet
' on Monday and Tuesday last have dune considerable mis-
chief to those that are unpicked. We hear that in many
cans they are scarcely worth picking.—Duty now called
linsrox.—Our hoes come down fast and well, but we
want a few fine days to finish the picking ; otherwise many
of them will be Ayers. Acreage 12 cwt.
LINTON.—We have been much interfered with by the
stormy weather. Poles have been blown down by the
winds, and washed away by the floods. There will, how-
ever, be a very large duty ; the growth in our district is
variously estimated, some calling it 10 and some 12 cwt.
while others go so far as 13 cwt.
BOUGHTON MONCHILIRA.—So far as we are concerned,
there is nothing against us but the weather, which prevents
oar getting on with the picking so fast as we could desires
In many gardens the crop is very heavy, while in other.
they some down light. Duty, 260,000!.
Setrox VALUNCI.—We are injured by the wet weather,
but the hops are very good. Acreage from eleven to twelve
hundred weight.
SARDEUJIAT, Oet. 7.—The hop picking is now nearly
completed, but the ,late wet weather has much retarded the
prooem, and on Monday lest we were again visited with a
very heavy rain, owing the water in the brooks to rise to
a most unusual height, doing great damage in the hop
grenade, the unpicked being drenched in mud, the force of
the water completely clearing those that were picked, by
removing all the poles into the river.
BATTU'' Oct. 6.—A very heavy rain last Monday night
flooded a few hop gardens which the pickers had not
finished, and • great deal of scheming was necessary to
enable them to resume their work.—Duty estimated at
240,0001.
Batonvuno, Oct. 6.—We have nearly finished picking,
and shall give you our average neat week.
SZTAItuAKII, Oct. 7.—Picking is very nearly closed in
this neighbourhood. The mop has been excellent, but the
late rains have done some injury.—Serrey Standord.
