HOP INTELLIGENCE.

WORCESTER HOP-MARKET, Saturday.—The im-
proved and 'correct taste, which has for the last few
years induced the public to prefer a sparkling light
ale to the heavy muddy mass which was formerly
vended, has caused such an increasing demand for
Worcester'hops, the beautiful flavour and the deli-
cate bitter of which are so peculiarly suited for the
first class of pale ale, that our growth is , eagerly
bought up immediately it comes to hand and at
this day's market, the fourth since the crop came in,
Lif -day, tine and choice qualities
have really become scarce and 3s. to 4s. dearer,
whilst the demand appears to increase, and is
evident that the growth of . our choice qualities re-
quires to be extended. L_ -

RETFORD HOP F4m.—North Clay_ hops were
offered at from 70s. to 84s. per cwt., yearlings .E 5
per cwt. Mid and East Kent were ffered at from
60s. to 112 s. per cwt. Weald of Kent, of which
only a few were exhibited by sample, were offered
at from 60s. to 755. per cwt.
MAIDSTONE, Oct. 7.—The hop picking is now
brought to a close, after a season of unprecedented
fine weather, the hoppers not losing an hour's time.
There have been within the last few days several
country sales, at good paying prices. The Bolding
sorts are in great demand, and, no doubt, will realise
an ample compensation to the planters. The duty
has still a downward tendency ; and £250,000
meets ;with a few backers, at evens.
EDENBRIDGE, Oct. 6.—This week will bring the
hop-picking to a close, and we shall have a good
crop. The hops have kept their colour, and come
down exceedingly well. The growth generally is
over the estimate of good quality, and will be about
12 cwt. per acre.
FRANT, Oct. 6.—The hop-picking is now brought
to a close ; and the samples, both for colour and
quality, are above the, average of years. Great
care has been taken in the picking and curing ; and
the weather has been suitable in every respect.
The average growth will be about 13 cwt. per acre.
and prices unremunerative.

GOUDIIURST, Oct. 7.—Picking is, we believe, now
completed ; and, speaking ,generalfy, the hops have
maintained their colour well. About 12 or 13 cwt.
the acre is at present thought to be the avcrage
here. Can speak more confidently next week.
Duty, £240,000.
NORTHAM, Oct. 7.—We are now enabled to give
the correct average of our growth of hops Fhich
is 151 cwt. per acre, of 1,200 hills. Judging
from what we saw of the hops before picking
commenced, we should say but few parishes will
yield so high an average as this. Many of our later
samples were brown and diseased ; consequently,
better prices will be obtained for bright, sound
samples, which will be comparatively scarce. No,
doubt the dealers and consumers will do their best
to get the best samples at the present low prices ;
let the growers be awake to this. Duty, £240,000.
UDIMORE, Oct. 7.—We have now brought the,
hop picking to a close. In some plantations the
yield will be over a ton to the acre, and in some
grounds much less. Taking the whole parish, it is
probable that about 18 cwt. to the acre will be
about the average.
HALSTEAD, Oct. 7.—Picking concluded on the
30th ult. The growth of this parish and vicinity
is about half-a-ton per acre ; the quality very good.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Ointment —Swollen
veins in the leg, cramps, enlargement of the glands, white
swellings, and similar disorders, are wonderfully relieved
by the application of this famous Ointment to the parts
affected, when they have been previously fomented with
warm' water and carefully rubbed dry with flannel. The
Ointment not only gives local relief, but, rapidly entering
the recesses.of.the. system through the pores of the skin, it
purifies and strengthens the blood, and imparts tone to the
principal internal organs. But though so powerful asa
purifier and curative, its action is gentle.and benign. It is
composed of rare balsams, without one grain of mercury 7r,
of any other injurious substance. It is as safe as it
efficacious.

a
considerable time I have suffered severely from a violent
pain in my left side, extreme flatulency,
intolerable sensation of heartburn, and accompanied by an
other disagreeable
symptoms of dyspepsia.
Various remedies, alleged in-
fallible, were tried in vam, and for a long time I was never
twenty-four hours without violent pain • indeed, I was
unfit for the performance of my daily duties.' I was in-
duced to try your food. In less than an hour I found re-
lief, and my recovery was very rapid. The duties which
previously had been an intolerable burden, became a de-
lightful exercise, and. I have since accomplished more labour
with less fatigue than I ever expected to be able to perform.
I have never had a return of my complaint. —D. Thomas."
