HOPS.

BoaouGH, SEPT. 2.—Messrs. Pattenden and Smith,
Hop Factors, report that the accounts they receive from the
plantations generally state that the hops come down much
lighter than was expected, and require from 75 to 90 bushels
to produce one cwt., whereas last year it took only 60 bushels.
This must lessen the duty, which at present is estimated at
190,0001., of which Rochester is likely to pay 62,0001.; Coa-
-1 terbury, 38,0001. ; Sussex, 58,000/. ; Worcester. 20,0001.;
Farnham, 10,0001. ; Kingdom, 2,0001.

ALTO c.—Picking proceeds, and a fair yield is expected,
Some of the plantations will have to remain another week
before the poles are lowered, as the second shoot with burr
hag not yet ripened sufficiently.
FAR] tux.—Such is the profusion of hops, that from fif-
teen to thirty cwt. per acre on some favoured spots is looked
for. A great number will be picked and pocketed before
Saturday, should the weather continue favourable. A few
showers fell on Monday night, yet not to such an extent as
to step the gathering.
