HOPS.

The culture of hops is becoming
staple business in the United
States, the foreign demands having
steadily increased until this country
has, by superior production, demon
strated an ability to control the
market of the world, both as regards
price and quality. The crop of 1875
in this country amounted to 100, 900
bales of 200 pounds each, 10000
bales of which were exported. The
yield of 1876 will exceed this both
in home and foreign consump-
ton. The great hop-Growing re-
gions are in New York aud Wiscon-
sin, and the business is becoming
gradually reduced to system which
will attract the attention of districts
that only cultivate hops as an oc-
casional crop, and pay but little re-
gard either to the quantity or quality
of the yield. The prices during the
past year have varied from rs cents
per pound upwards, affording an
average return of from $3.50 to $500
per acre.
The yield in the more favored dis
tricts of this Territory has been
much larger per acre than that Of
the East, but from some defect in
curing, their reputation has been i'm
paired and some difficulty was ex-
periencsd in disposipg Of last years
crop at top figures. Whether this
result was owing to causes which
observation and experience will re-
move, remains to be determined.
A yield of 1000 pounds to the acre
is not unusual from the hop-felds on
the Puyallup, and with the world for
a customer, i. only remains for the
growers to retrieve the reputation
and quotations their product former
ly held in San Francisco market, to
make this industry permanent re-
source of the Territory.

the copper-patient always yielding

IMPORTANT RuMoR.-A San Fran.

IMPORTANT RuMoR.-A San Fran
cisco dispatch of the Goth inst,
states that Mr.. H. B. Bergman is a
passenger by the City Of Panama,
on her present trip to the Sound,
whose object is to make arrange
ments with the Wellington, Seattle
and Tacoma Coal Companies, where
by new line of steamships will lie
placed on the San Francisco and
Puget Sound route, with Otis Free
man, former agent of Pacific Mail
Co. on the Northern Pacific route,
as agent. The same dispatch says
that it is likewise reported that par
ties contemplate putting the steam
yacht RalSton on q daily route be-
tween Olympia and Victoria, to run
in connection with the new steam
ship line; and furthermore that the
ocean steamers will touch at Gray's
Harbor, if satisfactory guarantees
are given. We regard much of this
as purely sensational, although there
appears to be some ground for the
report SO far as it regards the ocean
service. The Pacific Mail Company,
under the new management, has not
given the satisfaction it did when
engaged in building up a paying
business with the Sound. The pres
ent service between this place and
Victoria has been ample for all the
requirements of trade, and we would
regret to see senseless opposition
inauguratod by foreign corpora
ton against our own citizens, who
have never manifested disposition
to deal unfairly by the public.

knoHn that the Southern question was
discussed at length. Private kilograms
from New Orleans confirm press reports

expected. General Augnrs orders,
however, are such that they will
prevent clash of arms, and

be begun by Packard. Southern Rapub-
