ENGLISH HOP CROP AND MARKET.-The
effects of ths new hop crop had evidently not
reached London, England, on the 9th of
last month, as the following from W. II, &
Fl. LIE Mays Report of that date VIII show !:
1.-THE market is decidedly better. Although
the orders on the market are Of retail char
| acter, they are sufficiently numerous to cause
holders to advance their prices. The stocks
never were anything like 80 small. The con-
tinuad cold temperature keeps the hops 10
check. the burr does not develop freely, aad
! lice are fer too plentiful in msny gardens.
Mold, with the present 1tagnation of the
| bine, is causing some anxiety, especially as
many planters are afraid to sulphur, for fear
of increasing the vermin." The report for
the new crop is not very favorable, and il is
YET possible thst growers in this section may
realize better prices this fall than is now an
ticipated. Americans ara quoted in that
market at As to 80 cents per pound.

trail Pacific Railroad Company has adopted

cents mile, while on the mountain division
six cents per mile viii be the rate. The fol.
lowing will show reductions from some Of the
| places 10 this city: From Folsom, 50 to
81 80; Shingls Springs. 81 TO 81 90; Truckee,
SO to Sc 50 ; Red Bluff, 81 rs to 81 90 /;
