firmly, and with much offeriog, and compared with the

light. Sales, 8,000 bales; 2,000 for export and on specu-
lation.

HOPS.—WOHCISTIE, July 2.—Our reports from the
plantations are much the same to-day as last week ; the
blight is gradually increasing in the affected grounds, and
the weak bine does not make much progress, but the clean
and the growing grounds are going on favourably. Market
steady. July s.—Our reports continue to come unfavour-
able from the blighted districts, and favourable from the
clean growing grounds, but generally we think opinions are
against a crop. Market firm.

THE WOOL FAIRS AND TRADE IN WALES.
The prices for wool realized for this article at the
various falls just held in the principality have been ex-
tremely good and far beyond the rates of put years. As a
general rule the supply has been good, and sellers have de-
manded very high prices, to which dealers have been obliged
to give in. The quotations have ruled at from 235.
to 275. per stone, and in the north the mountain
fleeces have brought 61. and 75., and the lowlands is. and
Bs., for the 51bs. stone. Several new wool markets and
fairs have lately been established in various parts of the
principality, which have succeeded remarkably well, and
brought a good attendance. For want of a proper market,
the custom bas been for the agents to go round from farm
to farm, making the best purchases they could.
