CORN.

MARK-LAWIL—Tico o'clock.—The few parcels of
English Wheat which remained over from Monday's market
undispoeed of, were taken off this morning at about that
day's rates. The trade altogether was lifeless in the extreme,
and scarcely a transaction took place in free foreign Wheat,
which was held for previous prices.
Barley sold slowly at barely last day's quotations.
The receipts of oats since Monday have been mode-
rate : the enhanced terms at which this article
is now held, causes both dealers and consumers

to act with caution, and but little business was done to-day.
Where transactions occurred, Monday's currency was ob-
tained. Beans and l'eas unaltered in value.

Fsnsissai, ALson, &a—Picking is now drawing
to a close, and the crop has now proved to be beyond the
expectation of the met sanguine. The quality is very
superior.

Gocnurnirr.—We ire progressing very nicely
with OW hop picking, getting more bushav than we ex-
pected, but not any more in weight ; some pieces are going
off very much in colour, iu consequence of the severe drought,
there will. be but very few more good roleured samples. The
duty is considered too high at 280,0001.

GUESTLING. —The hops in thin and the neighbour.
isg parishes are very large and plentiful. At many plums
pickers are obliged to leave off before night, in consequence
of getting more hops than the oast can take. Samples are
very good, but require 70 to 85 bushels per cwt.

- -
HORSMONDES.—Hitherto the number of bushels
anticipated have been realised, but the complaint is general
that they do not weigh well, which we think is in a great
degree attributable. to the immense size the hops have this
year attained. If the di ficiency in the weight is as great
and as general as it is said to be, the duty is at present no
doubt very much overset. Picking will be nearly completed
in this pariah about the 25th instant.

HURSTGIWEN.—The hop picking is drawing to a
close in this parish (Salehurst) and the adjoining parish (Etch-
inghiun. Many of the farmers finish this week. The
Hopa still col.titme very light-70 to 80 bushels to the cwt.,-
and the general opinion is that the duty isestimated too high
in London. '1 he set here is about 186,0001.

IDEN.—The hope are a little improved since my
last report, as it does not require so many bushels to the
cwt. as they hitherto have lone.

MAIDSTON E.—The hop-picking goes on well. The
quantity is equal to the phuiters' expectations, and the hops
are now in tine order, getting qtute ripe and exceedingly
good in quality.

MAYFIELD.—The picking goes on rapidly. The
weather still favourable for the planter. Never was there a
finer season. Should the fine weather prevail another week
or ten days it will be brought to a close. In some instances
the red rust has got bold of the hop, but not sufficient to
injure the samples ; and they weigh considerably better than
at the commencemi n. of the hop-picking. Do not consider
the duty over set.

Naariuma---The baps motet a trifle bettre then
they did at the commencement of picking, but they are still
light; we hear of none coming under 70 bushels to the cwt.
The picking will pretty general '.y close with this week. In
many grounds the hops are going off very fast.

- - -
WADlit'ltfiT.—Hop-picking still goes on most fa-
vourably, owing to the fineness of the weather, but the hops
do not weigh much better than last week. One gentleman's
hops run about 65, whilst others require 75 bushels to make
• cwt. We have plenty of pickers, and the consequence is
they do not work long days, as was the case last year, which
makes them rather dissatisfied, many of them coming from a
great distinee. Duty set at 19.1,000/., and many eminent
planters think that tow high, as some of hops w. re picked
before the condition had arrived at its maturity. The mould
makes sad havoc, in some few instances.

BECKLEY.—The hops are a little better than last
week ; they average about 65 ►ushels to the cwt. Duty
estimated at 200,00 W.
BRENCIILEY.—OUT picking is now in full opera-
tion, and the hops are now coming better to the scale than
those which were picked earlier. The general complaint is
that the crop falls short of the estimate on the poles. The
quality is good, and our planters are not disposed to submit
to the present low prices.
EUltwAsll.—hopping goes on rigorously ; some
planters, whose grounds have been cleared pretty fast, will
finish in a few days. Many plantations are beginning now
to indicate the necessity of proceeding with the picking as
fast as possible: a high temperature is producing a rapid
change in them. The weight of the hops has improved a
little during the past week. Opinions here are against the
present high estimate of duty. Experienced planters will
keep their produce at present out of the market, in the
belief that better prices than those now prevailing will be
realised.

CRANIIROOK.—Tho hops are going off at places;
we fear the red rust is among them.
EeKTROATBI,Y.—The hop-picking hereabouts is
proceeding rapidly. Never was weather more favourable
for the pickeis: in many instances their labours have been
brought to a close, and the poles stripped and stacked, which
gives to the gardens a very winterly appearance. Many have
still a fortnight's picking, but we fear by that time the qua-
lity of the hop will be much deteriorated. The weight in
general about here will come far short of what was at one
time expected, but the number of bushels grown doubtless
far exceeds that of many years past, in some instances sur-
passing the number of hills on which they were grown.
BEl.Gll'm.—The hop harvest in Flanders is " superb,"
the best gathering sincelBll ; all the sorts are good. More
than 300,000 half kilogrammes of this year's crop had
already been sold, the first quality from 85 to 90 francs, the
second was selling from 70 to 75 francs the 50 kilogrammes,
and in the communes (on the spot) at 65 francs, with a good
demand. The inhabitants of more than 20 communes were
busily employed in the hopping and other labours of the
hop harvest. Those communes are Humertinghe, Dikke-
busch, Vorneseele, Brielen, Elverdinghe, Waesten, Oostvle-
teren, Reninghen, Crombeke, Proven, Watou, Reninghelst,
Cemmel, &c., without reckoning the communes of
France, such as Belle, and the vicinity. The names of
these places, where hops are most cultivated may be of inte-
rest to the trade here. The labours of the hop harvest
would lest about twenty days, it was calculated, and at
Poperinghe alone more than eight thousand labourers from
other parts were busily at work. Numbers of other stranger
workpeople were actively employed in neighbouring com-
munes, who came from 'Tourney, Reuters. Thielt, ite. All
are engaged, women sad children, as well as men. It was
estimated that the gathering in of the hop harvest at and
about Poperinghe, would cost more than 100,000 franc".
The cultivator' of the hop grounds were, therefore, obliged
to make sales to cover the expenses and pay their rents ;
hence the lowness of the prices.
