The show of English Wheat samp;es was -Ivry.

both red and white the demand was active, and .i-londaY 11'
advanced rates were steadily supported. Of at'ie other
kinds a good clearance was effected. Foreign Whegt.kt'
the supply of which on offer was tolerably good, tne:wd
more inquiry, at full quotations. The best grin
Barley was in request, and prices were well suppor to
Other kinds of Barley were rather dull. In Malt scar.lt:,
any business was passing,. Oats, Beans, and Peas mo.rc"

HOP I TELLIGENCE.
NI A 1 DSTON E-- We have nothing fresh to repott
from this district, which, with the exception or 5°113
damage from the wind, continues to look well. „,f
AI A ItDEN.—The high wind of Saturday, the
inst., has considerably injured the hop plantatiouo;
this parish, and being succeeded by rather 3 cO.
temperature, has checked their growth; on sor°
soils the Owes are suffering from drought.
WROT II AM, W EST PEC KIIA AI, &c.—The hops to
this neighbourhood have been very seriously juju":
by the lire high winds; in some exposed situatiißr,
not less than one-fourth of the anticipated produce:
destroyed, notwithstanding which, should the weath"
prove favourable, an average crop may be expected,.
WATERINGnuay.—The plantations are going °I/
well.

MERENVORTII.—The late winds and cold nights 10
rather damaged the hops in this district, but tbit
weather being now warmer, they are coming 441
very fast into hop, and the gardens begin to Wt.
bright; should the weather prove tavourable for
week or two, there will be a good crop in Oil
neighbourhood, a'', there is no vermin. A little mod
appears in some grounds, but nothing to speak of.
CRANBROOK.—A great portion of the hop grow'
here will scarcely be worth putting the bins into, sir;
we have some portion that will produce four or
bags per acre.

130XLEY, AYLESFORD, BURHAM, AND ALLINGT't
—The cold nights and boisterous winds have entiref
r •-wevented any improvement in the hops in the aboo
p,„,1-lies during the last week.
Rors"."NDEN* The hop-grounds in this parish?
with Benenlien and Sandhurst, are so bad that theft
will not be a p,,,cliet per acre. Many grounds will u°'
be picked at all.
~
FRITTENDEN.—Ti:e plantations here, and in tilt'
adjoining parishes of He. dcorn, Stnarden, Biddenden.
Tenterden, and neighbourLiod, are in a most deplo'
rable condition.
RYE.—The hop plantations in this ncighbourho4
are rather more favourable than ndjoining parisllet
and we may possibly get three bags per acxe, at Teti
.in some favoured grounds.
HADLow.—The hops in this parish still fs-o on trot
promisingly, and there is scarcely one (2efectif
ground in the neighbourhood.
SEYENOAKS.—UPLAND PART.—The licris al,
~
coming out well and continue to improve. The her
below the hill have certainly not inade any improver
went, and are completely covered with vermin.
Tun WEA:D.—We regret to say we can report 11°'
improvement here, while the wind and wet of lyester.
day have much damaged those that were compiri
tively good.
SUSSEX. DUTY. Two experienced geotleul
made a survey of Sussex plantations at the hate." el.:a
of last week, and th-y state the duty for Sussex 11'
not exceed 13.0001.—Slaidstone Journal.

STA rE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian of yesterday.)
The yarn market continues in a very healthy
and some descriptions, which are relatively scaXce';
command rather higher prices. In goods there has I3_,°
been quite so much doing as during the two or thiro
previous ‘veeks' and 40-inch shirtings have been,
some cases, sold at a small reduction on previo,li
rates ; but other descriptions of cloth, though not un
such extensive demand as before, are perfectly gym'
in price.
ROCUDALE FLANNEL MARKET, AUG. 12._T0-dar
has been what is called the Little Monday ; yet the:
has been a brisk demand for goods, especially for 0.
tb°
of a middling quality. The manufacturers vv°to
have no difficulty in, selling at former prices ; ,ti
they are now asking rather more to meet the adol3o
in price of the raw material. There is no change,
report in the wool market, either as to the demand
price.
