BOROUGH.

The supply of hops in this market of the present
year's growth, is very large. The finest qualities of
Mid 'and East Kent mostly support their previous
value ; but Sussex and Weald of Kent are again
lower. Yearling and old hops are mending. The
duty is called from 155,0001. to 160,0001. New
Sussex Pockets, 75s to 92s ; do. Kent do., 87s to 955.;
do. do., choice; 120 s to 1355; do. East Kent Pockets,
130 s to 148 s ; do. do. bags, 100 s to 130 s; Yearlings,
90s to 115 s.

POTATO.
Up to the Borough and Spitalfields markets, the
arrivals of potatoes from all parts have been liberal
since this day se'nnight, they having amounted to
about 2,200 tons, chiefly from Scotland, Yorkshire,
and the Channel islands. Owing to the supplies of
green vegetables on offer being large for tbe time of
year, the demand is, on the whole, dull.
