BOROUGH HOE.
The show of fine new hops is only moderato, bat that of
other kinds is somewhat extensive. For most descriptions
we have a slow inquiry, at last week's quotations. The
imports have amounted to 479 bales from Hamburg and
60 from Harburg.
New Mid and East Kent pockets, 84s to 1263 ; W eald of
Kent ditto, 58s to 80s; Sussex ditto, 54s to 75s per cwt.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.
Only moderate supplies of home-grown produce have
been received daring the past week, coastwise and by land
cariage. The imports, however, have been liberal, viz.,
2i tons from Hamburg, 200 tons from Dunkirk, 90 tons
from Rotterdam, 222 tons from Antwerp, 5 bags from
Harlingen, 3 tons from Amsterdam, 20 tons from Bou-
logne, 40 tons from Rouen, 95 tons from Louvaino and 35
tons from Nantes. The demand continues very inactive,

120 s to 140 s ; Scotch, 80s to 1203; ditto cups, 75s to 85s ;
