TM hops are injured materially. The grape in particular are still
backward, and the late cold sights are much against them. We con-
sider, except • great change SOINI takes place in the woollier, the duty
will fall very short of the prewut estimation.
ottemon DEN —Tee hope progress very tardily; they
cannot ountend against the ungeoial weather which hos prevailed the
last ten day.. 7he Coleraine hang in burr much longer thou usual,
and if the weather continues cold, the crop of that kind of hops will be
very much lessened. Ibe general appearance of the hops is much
Ices tittering than it was three weeks ago. Another llonunotuten
correspondent says : Although the heavy gales and rein have bruised
and butfetted them down the pole*, and making (Mauldin more hoes!,
the hops are coming to maturity much earlier than we anticipated.
The market will be well eupplteil with meuldy, unripe hope very
