HOP INTELLIGENCE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

-
SIR—As an incorrect statement respecting the Hop
Plantations in this County (Notts.), has been copied into
several of the London and Provincial Newspapers, from a
c'ertain London Weekly Journal, which statement origi.
gaily emanated from an interested individual, I take the
liberty of sending you the following account, which may
lie relied upon as correct.
I am, Sir, your's, &c.
East Retford, Sept. 21. A sTANT READER.

The Hop Plantations in the North Clay District, are now nearly
ail deprived of their towering production, and the Hops, 'nest a
them, have been securely bagged, and in excellent condition ; the
aVerage produce of the present year will considerably exceed the
educe of any year in the recollection of the oldest Hop-grower,
latd, as is generally the case, when the crop is extensive, the qua-
lity and flavour of the Hop is always superior in proportion ; so
that not only will the exuberance of the present year's growth
tend materially to depreciate the price, but the quality Will render
al, smaller quantity necessary, in rendering Sohn Bull's far-fanied
biverage palatable to its numerous and obsequious devotees. Sr-
viral of the Plantations in this neighbourhood aVerage (rain twelve
to sixteen, (and in some instances) eighteen cwt. per acre ; the
simples are finer and brighter, and have fewer hieWn Hops inter-
ritixed, thorn has been the case fora long series of years; the pre-
lint prices may be quoted from six to eight guineas per cwt., with
1 tie business doing, but it is generally supposed that a deprecia-
tion, even from these just quoted, will take place previous to,. ur
at, our ensuing fair..
