CANTERMAY.—The continued fine weather has been
of great advantage to those hop-grounds that aro healthy,
and a far better crop is anticipated. There are many
plantations which will not produce more than half a
cwt. per acre. It is also questionable whether many
planters will place a bin in their gardens this season.
Mould has not increased, and the prospects on the whole
are certainly better, Picking will not generally com-
mence till about the 20th instant. .

MamsroNE.--Red mould has increased here, and the
crop from the parishes in this immediate neighbourhood
is not expected to be equal to what was thought a fort•
night ago. So varied are the hop plantations this sea-
son that whilst some will not grow a hop, there are others
that will produce nearly a ton an acre. One garden, of
13 acres, in the occupation of Mr. Unicome, near Cran-
brook, is expected, with fine weather for the next few
days, to produce 10 tons of good flavoured and excel-
lent hops. The weather has been of so genial a nature
as to bring out hops in many grounds in this locality
where none were looked for. The prospects of a crop
have consequently much improved. At Mereworth
picking has commenced. Some grounds are looking
exceedingly flue, and give every appearance of from 15
cwt. to a ton per acre. In many grounds in West Bent
the foggy nights and sunny days are rapidly sending
the hops off in colour, and lessening the crops. A cor-
respondent "to a c,nternporary from Yalling and Far-
ieig.b, says Picking will be general next week, and so
will be, I think, complaints of the crop." The imports
were again large last week, viz., 244 bales from Ostend,
992 from Hainburgh, 49 from Antwerp, 165 from
Ghent, and 50 from Rotterdam. Duty, 65,0001. to
