The steamer Dover came down from the

! of the Sacramentans had 10 sit around as
| best they could until it was time TO take
| the morning train for home.

THE HoP MARKET.-Le Mays hop circu-
lar, dated London, April Dist, is at hand,
and says " The cold winds have checked
the growth of hop-bine The hop-planter
now complains of the ground working I'M
kindly and very steely; warm. genial rains
are much wanted. The easterly winds will
be followed by the aphis blight, the larve
of which is found to great extent in the
| hills. The market is certainly better, con-
sumers being evidently anxious to cover
any deficiency of stock they may have
! whilst they can get chance. The Belgian
market is again 10 francs higher, and the
! few Alost hops that remain on this market
are wanted for re-shipment. The New
! York market continues quiet, but there is
! no pressure of American hops either there
or on this market. The stock of Bavarian
/ here are exhausted and the prices ruling
! at Nuremberg are very high The imports
/ of foreign hops into England last week
were ia bales for the corresponding week
last year, - bales; the total imports of
/ foreign hops into England from October
! /, 1888, To April 10, 1884, were IS, 344 bales !;
/ for the corresponding period last year
! &C, 500 bales
! LITTLE DARLINGs.-It is not worth while
to bring any more handsome babies to the
REcoRD-UNIoN Office TO show that the prizes
at the Red Mems picnic Monday were not
/ properly awarded Those exhibited at this
office yesterday were doubtless " too sweet
| for anything but the local man is too old
! to remember much about what a baby
! ought to be, and the family -department ed
/ itor is out of town. 1t is a mighty difficult
matter TO sort over lot of little angels.
| and decide upon the spur of the moment as
I to their merits butt is almost certain that
! everyone Of those competing infants was
the best. Don't bring that strong-lunged
/ one again. 4 photograph will do!
