BOROUGH HOP.
Henry Turnbull and Co. report that a fair business is
passing in all sorts of new hops, both English and foreign,
and at full prices. Continental advioes state that a con-
siderable advance has taken place in prices lately, and the
growers there find a readier market for their hops than by
sending them to this country. The demand for yearlings and
old hops is by no means brisk, and prices are witheat
quotable change.

framed in the iconostasis, wore executed by a celebrated
artist of St. Petersburgh.

at last come to grief, and there is scarcely one to be seen
in all Paris. The fiat of fashion has gone forth, and
