BOROUGH HOP.
Advices from the Plantations state that picking is mak-
ing steady progress, but that the weather is not all that
could be desired for securing the crop in good condition. A
few parcels of new produce continue to be exhibited for
sale. New Mid and East Rent are quoted at £6 to £8 ;
and New Weald of Keats, £5 ss. to £6 10s. per cwt. For
yearlings and old hops, we have to report a moderate de-
mand, fine samples are decidedly firm in price. The
importand' last week was 32 bales from Rotterdam; 24 Havre ;
28, Ostend ; and six bales from Antwerp.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.
Increased supplies of potatoes are on sale at these
markets. Most descriptions are in fair average request, and
very little change has taken place in prices, compared with
our previous report. The quotations are as follows :

Kent and Essex Regents... 80s to 100 s per ton.
Do. Rocks
Do. Shaws GOs to 70s „

WOOL.

English wool is in moderate request. Both Down and
long descriptions command a fine average sale, and previ-
ous quotations are well supported. In the value of colonial
parcels, no change has taken place since the close of the
public sales. The amount of business done, however, either
for home use or for export, is very moderate. The import
lest week was 822 bales from Port Natal, and 636 bales
from Algoa Bay.

SEEDS.
Mustard seed is firn), and prices sre fully supported. In
