HOP IXTLILrG.E.NCE.

CANTERBURY.—Picking now being quite brought
t ) a close, some idea may be formed as to the
quantity and quality of the growth. There is no
doubt the crop, generally speakitig, i 3 very satis-
factory—indeed, in some ca es' quite beyond ex-
pectation. Some of the samples are of fint-rate
quality, but where the blight was very severe the
hops come too much in two crops to make a good
sample ; consequently such hops are not much
sought after, and realise but a low figure, not suffi-
efeilt to pay the grower. Tile good samples are
now eagerly looked afte-, and realise a tolerable
price. The duty for the district will probably
reach near 40,000/.

BRENCHLEY.—Having now quite completed
picking, I can only repeat my report of last week
—viz., that the month of August being so very
sunny and warm, the hop matured beyond our ex-
pectation, and the average crop is considered from
6to 7 cwt. per acre here. Several planters have
riot picked the lighter hops, in order to preserve
the samples clean. This, with the hail-storm and
other casualties, has diminished the duty, and we
cannot comprehend the present estimate in the
Borough ; at any rate, we shall not reach half last
year's duty in this district.
FIJRSMONDEN.—The picking now is almost
finished, and a much larger crop has been the re-
sult than was at one time anticipated. We have
many very fine samples. Oar average is about eight
cwt. per acre.

MAIDSTONE.---Throughout this district hopping
is finished. There are, perhaps, a few gardens not
3et completed, but these are rare exceptions, and
nothing depends on them. The crop is better
than was expected, and the present price conse-
quently very low ; lower, perhaps, than is war-
ranted by the quantity grown. To correct
this, it may Le suggested that the large planters
hold the remedy to a great extent in their
own hands—let them abstain from' pressing their
hops on the market while the quotations remain at
so low a figure.

PENSHURST. —Hop-picking is almost finished in
this district. The hops have come down very light,
but the crop is better than atone time was expected.
WATERINGBURY.—The hopping is nearly finished,
and the growers express themselves pleased as to
the quantity and also the quality.
YALDING.—Our hop-picking is brought to a con-
clusion. A very large crop is brought in, and
many fine samples produced.
FARNHAM, ALTON, AND COUNTRY DISTRICTS.
Picking is now completed, but, from the largeness
of the crop, it is not all pocketed. In June the
estimate of the duty for this district was from
8,000/. to 10,000/. ; m July, 10,0001. to 12,000/. ;
August, 12,000/. to 15,0001. At the commence-
ment of the picking, in September, it was imagined
that it might reach last year's duty, 16,300/. ; but
it is now supposed that it will amount to above
20,0001. Colour and quality, with some excep-
tions, very fine.—Kentish Observer.
