HOP INTELLIGENCE.—From Maidstone the hops are
reported "defective both in quantity and quality." At
Weavering they have "considerably improved." At
Wateringbury;Teston, Nettlestead, and Mereworth the
hops are fast approaching maturity ; but the hops gene-
rally are very small, and there is no material alteration
to notice in the hops this week ; if any, the blight is
more visible. Around Yalding and Hunton the hops in
some gardens are still improving, but they are very
backward. The weather at Brenchley has been remark.
ably cold and unfavourable during the past week for the
hops. The Mardon hops are getting on well in some
grounds, but in others they have not been doing much
during the past week. The Cranbrook hops are putting
en a better appearance. The Tenterden hops have
improved considerably during the last week. At
Mailing the hops are still very small, and the bad
are getting worse. At Ightham and Seal the
last week has proved too cold to bring the hops
out, which are unusually small for the time of the year.
Around Sevenoaks, Sea), and Under-river the hops--
where healthy, and free from vermin and mould, are cer-
tainly fast coming forward, and will, we think, produce
a good sample. Some talk of half a ton per acre, hut
we think they will be deceived in many places. They
are certainly very small. We also think the duty at
160,0001. is too high. The hops in the Westerham dis-
trict grow but little, and in most gardens will be very
small. The unfavourable weather and the late winds
have done more mischief than was thought of at the
time. We have some good pieces, but generally we shall
not grow much over half last year's growth. Some think
the duty too high at 145,000/. At Edenbridge, in many
gardens, the hops have made considerable progress. The
hops in Hurtsgreen continue to improve, with few ex-
ceptions. At Worcester there is no material improve-
ment in the hop plantations during the past week, the
nights being far too cold for them to make much pro-
gress, and the estimated duty for this district cannot be
called more than 13,000/. to 14,0001. The market con-
tinues firm, very few hops offering.
