T1BREwERs' SUpPLIzs-Maltl is a trife
weaker and is now quoted at. Soc, Hop:
have again made a decided advance. Ii
the early part of the season it was men
toned that owing to shortage in the
crops in England, buyers for the English
malt houses were in the United States buy
ing all the hops that could be picked up
and during the early part of the season
they advanced till few weeks ago the ad
vance was stopped, as it was understood
the English had obtained al
they wanted. Since then the marke
has remained without change. 1t seems
now that the English buyers have again
made their appearance in our markets
The consequence is that hops have again
advanced. They are now quoted as fol-
lows: 81 for Washington and $1.15 for
New York.
