Emmett Wells Circular, dated New
York, July 20, says: There has
been a fair demand from brewers.
and full prices have been paid for
choice hops, which are getting very
scarce. The continued liberal re-
ceipts show that farmers are taking
the wise course of working IF their
old stock before the new crop comes
upon the market, for olds usually
decline in value after new ones come
in, and the present season is not
likely to be an exception to the rule.
Crop advices from the interior show
no particular change from last week.
We still hold to the opinion that
with the large increase in the acre.
age in The spring of 1880, we shall
produce nearly if not quite as many
hops as last year. Foreign crop ad-
vices are little less favorable. The
extreme hot weather in England and
on the Continent is beginning to
show its effect upon the vine. A.

European Grain Crops.

LONDON, Aug. % "A volume of
reports on the harvest of the differ.
ent countries throughout the world,
brought out annually, is now being
issued. Reports from the wheat
crop in France are this year from
over larger area and indicate bet
ter crop than last year. This years
barley is not so good as in 80 but is
fairly good. Maize is very ordinary.
Oats and rye fair. Wheat crops are
not up to those of last year, but
wheat is not much below the aver
age and crops will be very bad
none very gooi. None of the crops
are OF the average.
In the Prussian States, crops are
fair.
The Swiss wheat crop is very poor
in quantity, owing to drouth, bit in
quality is very fine. Oats and bar
ley are good in quantity and quality
but there are small areas sown of
the latter.
In Belgium wheat is far below the
average. Barley good. Rye and
oats fair:
All crops in Spain are bad.
all cereals in Holland are in good
condition.
All reports from the u. s. agree
that the yield will be under the av-
erage.
This year is one in which farmers
are likely to reimburse themselves for
losses during the past five years.
In Austria and Hungary crops are
good all around. Wheat and barley
are both above average. Rye is
slightly under the average.
Reports from Italy agree that
crops are of medium quality and.
much below the abundance of those
of last year.
In the Turkish provinces on the
Danube the wheat harvest will be
medium, and rye good and abundant.
Barley good as regards quantity and
bad in quality. Oats very much
above the average.
All reports from Russia agree that
barley is the best crop of the year,
doubling that of 1890 in quantity.
but not so plump and weighty, and
rye abundant.
Crops in Great Britain are about
10 per cent. below average, aud like
" to realize only 100000 quar-
tiers. Barley is 10 per cent. above
the average and Gets 20 per cent.
below the average.
Wheat is good throughout Ger
many. Winter and Spring sowings
are in marked contrast with former
years, yielding good crops. Oats
and rye good. Barley thin.

A NUMBER of land grabbers at Sc

patent Gov cred. A few weeks ago
MIR. w. B. Hall, after careful ex-
animation OF the field notes in the
Surveyor Generals office, with a
number of other "speculators'
staked off tracts under the TOWNSHIP
act, some of which embraced the
water front and the best part of the
land claimed by Mr.. Bell. Mr..
Whitworth was then employed by
the original claimant to resurvey the
tract, and this resulted in the discoy-
cry that an error had been made in
the field notes. Tho Mteuigencer
seems to think that the jumpers will
be unable to maintain their claim.

Mr.. Chas. Croker, a California
capitalist, has been on a somewhat
extended visit to the Northern coast.
One of his objects is said to have
been to secure coal mine for the
Central Pacific railroad. 1t is said
that negotiations have been pending
for some time for the purchase OF
the Chandler mine, in Pierce county,
by that corporation. Mr.. Croker
was in Olympia Saturday, doubtless
to ascertain from personal inspection,
the advantages We possess to make
us a factor in the busy world of
progress.

SOME of the names given to points

Pacific coast are not altogether sug-

Among the list we note the following

etc. Conservative shipmasters and
pilots must be often put to their
wits end to explain the origin of
these terms to timid passengers.

\ paragraph in these columr, Il
fortnight ago an;l the communica-
on of A" Citizen" last week, has had
tie effect OF directing very general
attention to the fact tina; the upper
portion of town Is almost hi the mer-
cy of the flames whenever they pass
beyond the Ordinary barriers winch
constitute them an invaluable agent
in domestic economy. The water
supply, since the pump at Tumwa-
ter broke down, several months ago,
has been entirely shut eff from Il
large number Of cousumers who had
been at great expense to connect with
the mains. The failure of the COM
pany to furnish an adequate supply
of as necessary an article as water,
for household purposes, is griev-
ance too serious to be patiently
borne, but when, in addition, prop
erty is placed in jeopardy for IA 'ant
which can be SO easily supplied by
the corporate authority, the subject
is one which demands immediate
attention.
"Citizen" has shown by figures
that the project for the town to as
sumo control Of the water supply is
not only feasible, but will result in
an absolute saving in the short term
of five years, besides paying the cost
of purchase and maintenance for
that period, to say nothing of its
value as fire extinguisher, or the
amount realized from tie decrease
in cost of policies of insurance. MIR.
Thomas Macleay, who represents a
combination or the most wealthy in
surance companies in the world,
gives the project his most cordial
sanction. Without ordinary means
of preservation, no company con-
Quoted on true business principles
desires TO assume risks, even at the
highest rates, and very few property
owners in the suburbs can afford to
pay more than the minimum rate,
which would apply if this one essen
tial il available.
Th, re will probably DO no time
ike the present for action. The
company possess no vested rights,
except ownership of few miles OF
pipe and two or three small reser-
voirs Tor tanks.) This property has
no prospective value except few
years service before the mains must
be renewed, and it is already de.
monstrated that the profits have not
been sufficiently large, under pres
ent management, to keep the works
in repair. A fair price would doubt
less lie accepted, especially if oui
Trustees manifest an earnestness
which indicates the laying of new
mains, if reasonable terms are not
accepted. We suggest that at the
next meeting of the Board, a com.
mittee be appointed to make a thor
ough investigation as a basis for q
report upon which the subject may
be fully considered.
