quality, where the hops have grown outof the blight, Is grandly very
fine. but many other grounds are much damaged by the mould. In
deed, it Is the minion of same old planter, that in some of the gm.-
mentioned grounds the Georges will be better than they have been
for years. It is not expected here that the duty will reach 90,0001.
