HOP MARKET.—The hop accounts from Kent,
Susie:, and Worcesienbire, of this year'. growth, are so
satisfactory that the customary services of these eentlemea
whim business it is to chronicle the prolific diseases tr,
which this variable plant is liable, are this year die:meted
with, for ant even with a magnifying glass can either honey-
dew, mould, flea, lin-, or other vermin, be <hauled. Even
the few strong winds we have had have failed to disturb
the perpendicular of the bop pole, so closely entwined and
adorned wit't festoons of the strong and healthy bine.
Picking is now general, end would have been s, many days
ago, it the lateness , f the harvest bad not rendered it diffi-
cult to procure pickers ; but, should the weather continue
fine, the delay will do no harm, and the result will not
only be gratifying to the growers, but to the consumers,
who, in addition to the high price of malt, have bad
this lut year to pay so dearly for this valuable in-
gredient in the making of good wholesome beer. There
is little doubt but that the duty will realise nearly
300,0001.--even in Worcastanhire it Ia laid at 39,0001.; bat
we do not anticipate that the prices will hear a fair propor-
tion to the vast growth, for, ea the present crop is unutuelly
clean and sound, and as it bids fair to be gathered in good
condition, the fine quality will, no doubt, for come time to
come, ensure a very ucthe markers, especially as there is no
old stock of any value on hand, and the foreign import,
have so considerably Ghee off, so that we may Ireton on
large purchases be ng mode both by consumers and spine-
lators. But, aft 'r paying 211. for good hops, consumers
will not object to pay 41. is. per cwt.; and we venture to
predict, should the picking be concluded during the fine
weather, that there will be no difficulty in obtaining them
at that price. A great many women are now employed
picking at le. 31. per day, about double what they have
previously received; indeed, there is now employ for all
wi:Vans industriously
