BOROUGH HOP.
Good and fine English hops are in fair request, at fall
prices ; but other qualities are a dull inquiry. Bayariiill

doing. Last week's imports were 2,471 bales from Nevi

WOOL MARKET.
The demand for English wool is somewhat limited'
nevertheless, holders are firm, and prices rule about Pis'
tionary. Colonial qualities command very little attentioof
and foreign parcels are very dull, at next to nominal illll,
tions. Last week's imports were 1,979 bales from Sy
d•
435 from Port Philip, 785 from Melbourne, 665 fuel",
Algoa Bay, and 765 from Taganrog.
