VALUE OF HOP QUOTA RIGHTS.

It is pointed out in respect of the sale to take place shortly of Gotely Manor Farm, Northiam, 235 acres, by Messrs. Alfred J. Burrows, Clements, Winch and Sons (Ashford) that there is an additional element of value in the Basic Hop Quota, in this instance relating to  100cwt. of hops. At a recent auction of a Kentish farm a Basic Hop Quota was separately valued at £2,500. The right implied by the quota has a high market value.
