BOROUGH HOP.

- -- -
Last year's hops continue iu steady request, at fully late
rates. The supply of new produce brought forward within
the last few days has found buyers at from £7 to £S 10s per
cwt. For old hops the trade is in a sluggish state, at about
previous rates.
NE WGATE AND LEADENHALL.

Moderate supplies of meat are on sale at these markets.
