TIE EoP MARKET.
Emrnett Well s. Hop Circular of October h
says. The hop market is in about the same
shape as last reported. Although the receipts
at New York show large increase over last
weeks, there is still marked deficiency in
choice hops, most Of the samples on offer be-
ing early.picked hops and those which were
damaged by toe frost during picking. From
this it is evident that holders in the interior
are indisposed TO force their good hops on the
market, prsierriug to hold until buyers come
around and pay the price they demand Con-
siderable hops have changed hands in the IL
terror markets during the past week at prices
ranging from y to % cents, some being large
growths and selections better in fact, than
anything offered in Sacramento. Brewers
continue the handto-mouth policy, believing.
no doubt, that an accumulation of stock on
this market without freer export outlet,
prices will naturally recede.
The latest estimate at hand Of the English
crop is between e260.OOO and e2SO,0OO old
duty. I may be safe, under these circum.
stances. to divide the difference and call it
geo, 900, equal TO $50, coo of our $50 pound
bales, which would leave a possible shortage
there Of g. geo bales.
In order 10 show the status Of hops, the
following table is appended, giving the num-
Der OF bales received, exported and imported
at New York:
Receipts for the week $40

ALoudor dispatch Gays We are experience
ing lull in our market, but prices are steady.
The tendency points to decline rather than
an improvement in prices.
a Silly PILGBLMAGE.-Two wheelbarrow
tramps, Guerrero and Fedemeyer started on
q silly pilgrimage from San Francisco to
New York last Sunday, and arrived here
yesterday. They leave to-day for the East.
They trundle wheelbarrows, and pretend to
be walking and wheeling for wager of
s., eco whatsoever is foolish enough to put
up money on such valueless contest between
two men who are able to earn living at de.

openly vagabondizing through the country

a mistake. Trsmping about in this manner
ia an old story, played out, and nine times
out % ten is a fraud, 1t is reported that
leading newspapers have a correspondent in
attendance apon the present tramps. The
kind of journalism that will second such eff
forts is certainly hard up for sensations"
q LOCAL PUBLICATION S. Southworth,

representation, and to presents facts of inter-
eat and value to the State, which have not been

neatly illustrated. It's pages must be read
with care before q critical Judgment can be
pronounced upon the text. For that purpose,
especially IS il treats fully of Sacramento
county, our isnds, our climate, etc., reserva-
ton Is made until the book can be examined
with elaboration.
