BOROUGH HOP.

A moderate business has been passing in new hops, and
prices have been fairly supported. Yearling and old qua-
lities are a dull inquiry, yet no change of importance took
place in their value, compared with last week. Last week's
import was 1,293 bales from Now York.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.

Only moderate supplies of potatoes have been on sale at
these markets since last report. The trade, generally
speaking, has been far from active ; nevertheless all good
and fine samples have changed hands, and prices have been
fairly supported. In the value of inferior qualities very
little change has taken place. A few small parcels have
come to hand from France.
