Price of HOPS, per Cwt. in the BOROUGH.

Monday, June 7.-Our Hop Bines have made but little progress last week, owing to the nights being

so cold: two to four flies are reported on a leaf, but no material increase. Currency remains the same but little doing. Duty estimated at £115,000 to £120,000

Maidstone, June 3.-Since our last report the weather has entirely changed, and the wind been constantly in the cold quarter, and that has certainly checked the appearance and growth of the Hops, which are again losing their colour. There has been some fly found on the different grounds about, but we do not hear of them making any great progress at present.

Worcester, June 2.-On Saturday 23 pockets of Hops were weighed in our market. Our accounts from the plantations state, that very few flies have made their appearance, and that the plant grows rapidly. Prices do not, however, give way: fine 1819's and 1822's are inquired after. Some persons lay the duty of the kingdom at 125,000l.
