HOPS.-BATTLE : Those who have net dug their Hop
ground this year are at a great lola by the extra labour In hock g and
shimming. A few days back, thunder and rain were looked for, the
wind inclining at that time to the south. Nc rain, however, came,
and for want of it the eurface of the land is much crinted up. The
Hop bine, grow and are of good colour; they do not, however, grow
ao rapidly as usual, Joe lack 14 moisture.-Batc IMMO : The Hops
in this district are now making great progreew Within the
last kw days the fly has decreased. We have some gardens
looking in • good state of cultivation, white others are just
as bad, with naiades, &c., nearly as high as the bine tacit
F. mous° : The bine Is going along well, and the fly not very
genend.-Xerriatai: The hops have not improved this last
week; the ground is in • very unkindly Stale, and there have been
some froety nights, which hove vet, much checked them. The flea
is numerous in some garden; and, leing unable to do much In the
• shape of caltiv atm, through the bat drums of the surface they will not
obtain etrength until they are favour ed by a good snaking.-Nwwww:
The buses in this pariah rue growing very (cat, and in some grounds
ate looking well. Fly hare made their aporwran e, but not to any
groat ex tent at present.- Nu:Frain : The bine in our neighbourhood is
progretwing. We have some fly, bet nut to a great extent; F.IIIC of our
gardens are in bad cultivation In conrequenee of dry weather; much
labour is wanted.-Noavnist The bine Is generally very healthy
and vigorous, and free from vermin; but the cultivation of many
ground; owing to the dry weather, I. almost at n sandati.l. The
"chopping" in now in piogress, but with muck nißkelty.- Etornes.-
nein Not much is yet said concerning tho hop plan talons in this
district, though it is very eveent the fly are ratter numerous, and the
bine Icailis anetking but well in Rome gardenso ho- gh in kern ral they are
in a growing conchtion.--Ituant ger : we have. kw gy in tome oft he
grounds, but not so many as a lew days lance. 'the bites are growing
Lost, but the grounds are murk in the want of rata- eggs-non
\VELLA: The bine le in general short and tender ; both flea and fly
very prevalent} and allege her In • very uneartaactory etate.-Wsii-
rexar.-The bine in this parish is very uneven; In etsine places it is
growing fast, In others it iii not moving et all. The flea is rather

DOKCASTZR, May 27.-In the early pert of the week the
weather was eseeesively hot and forcing ; yesterday we had
some rain, and the atmoophere today is much cooler.
Wheat is reported to look well on the ground generally,
but spring Corn wants more rain. The supply of Wheat
wu very small this morning, though quite equal to the
demand; millers supplied their wants at last week', rates,
and at the close of the market some lots were left over.
Oats as before, with scarcely anything doing iu them.

full prices. Barley nominal Wheat, new, 18.. to 195.;

and prig s nominally the same as last meek, both for Wheal

is rather unMvourahle.

PRESTON, May 27.—We are without any arrivals thin
week. A better feeling is observable in the corn trade, and
Oats and Oatmeal meet a fair detuand,:at pr dually higher
rates. The supply of English Wheat at our Corn Exchange
this morning was not equal to the requirements of the trade,
and choice same', a must be noted 6d. per windle dearer : the

YARMOUTH, May 27.—We have the same report to stake;
short supplies, but still very dull markets. Wheat is rather
cheaper to-day, even for the best samples ; but few fresh-
thrashed parcels at market. Barley is rather cheaper, as the
foreign is coming into the market for grinding purposes, at
lower prices. In Beans and Peas we have very I:ttie doing,

for Wheat, and our market is nearly cleared. Red Wheat
here, 621 b. to 631 b., has been sold at 395. 6c1., and is now held
at 41s. A small parcel of white Polish, 601 b., was sold at 41s.

deliverable here, 5310. to 541 b., is held at 255. to 265. Jutland

been made for delivery during the summer mouth", at prices
equal to 38s. to 395. per qr. for fine Polish.
POTATOES.-SUNDERLAND.-Old Potatoes are
now coming in in great abundance, and prices are giving
way; they are selling to-day at from 81. to 10d. per peck of
about 1616. New Potatoes have ant u yet made their
appearance in our market; hut, should the present genial
weather continue a short while longer, we shall no doubt have
them in abundance, for the promise is at this time most
favourable, not the ast appearance of blight as far as we
can learn. The late planted are also, so far, coming up
regular and healthy, and, from the breadth of ground laid
down, it in to be hoped they will be both plentiful and
cheap as compared with the two preceding crops.

WOOL.—GERMAN Fa' WEL—BRESLAU, May 16.—1 n
consequence of a petition of the Breslau wool•merchants to
the Piussien Miuist r of Finance, referring to the low
state of private credit, and requesting that arrange-
ments might be made to discount foreign bankers'
bills during the time of the market, M. Hauseminst
has agreed to enable the Royal Maritime S•tchtty (See-
hindiuna), during the time of the Breslau Wool fair, to die-
' count bills of first rate English banking-houses to any
'mullet. We hasten to acquaint our English customers with
this measure, as we do not doubt that this will be welcome
to may cloth manufseturers and wool-dealers, and that they
will speedily avail themselves of it. The beginning of the
market is fixed for the 7th of June; yet we believe that the
fist arrivals of Wool will take place some days earlier.
Washes will be undoubtedly very fine, being much favoured
by the magnificent weather. As to the probab'e result of
the fair, it is more difficult this time than ever to state any-
thing certain, as the daily unforeseen political occurrences
con iderobls influence commercial enterprises. Still so much
might be stated with some ground, that prices will he ex-
ceedingly low.
