To-day r. !. Msrkeley will ship the frzI
bale Of this seasons hop crop to Herman 6
Co., San Francisco These are a little il
adyanca Of the season, as hop-pioking viii
not commence in earnest until about two
weeks from to-day. The crop now shows
that the yisld in some yards viii be bette,
than was expected few weeks ago. There
Is nothing being done IN regard TO contract
Ing for new csops, as there Is wide differ
encs between dsslsrs' and growers' ideas Of
Che value Of Che new crop. A grower in thit
district lsas week sold 200 bales Of the old
crop 20 2 Ss1 kFaucisco dealer, bus the price
has not been made public. Twenty cents Del
pound will purchase single bale Of old hops
Ia this ci-y as che present. Brewers are not
buying "a s.egis pound moro than tdey need
Tor immedist9 use There is in the neigh.
borhood OF 200 bales Of old hops yet il
growers and dealers hands or this coast.
The market IN lbs East is as thoroughly
demoraIzsl SIS is tho local market. The
Waterv.le or. " Times, just received,
quotes the sale Of two lots, amounting to-22C
bales, ct % ceass. These were by specula-
tors, who Paid from 60 cents to 81 per pound
for them. Emneg Wells Hop Circular, Of
New York, under date Of July Is 10, says
% IL viii be sean that our interior reports are
very much mixed this week, and we think it
would puzzle any hop man TO make out from
them wDetae: we are going to have a large
crop o. a sIusu ons."
The folloRing hints in regard to baling hops
are from 81 Eastern exchange:
Hops, by bring high dried andscorched, lose
their netur-i haVoe and sroms, while shose not
sufficiently dried ara liable TO heat in the bale,
and become worthless. Wisconsin growers,
with Int few exceptions, over-dry their hops.
It Is important that hops be put up in the
best possible shape Shaggy, loosely packed,
irregulsr-shapad bsles are almost invariably
thrown OUT ny she inspector.
California growers are IL the habit Of
binding thsir bales with iron bands br stout
ropes; sometimes a single bale containing es
many as six bsE3G OF ropes. This practice is
sure tiuous and entirely unnecessary il hops
intended ioE shipment to this market and all
packages thus sold here are subject to actual
tare.
Hops should be put up to weigh IS near
$50 pounds to the bale Rs possible. Slack
pressed or light bslesido not sample or sell as
vel IS chose properly put up. On the other
hanoi aen compressed so much as to eX-
rlUde the Dir, the hops are quite liable TO heat
in the bals. particularly If they are little
slack dried.
g III baling, none but the best three-ply
twIne should DO used
The date OF growth should be plainly
stenciled uson every bale. In England the
lsw requires 1t, and the yrower who neglects
this duty subjects himself to a heavy fine.
The beH. material for marking is turpen.
tine and lsmpblack. Many growers are in
the habi5 o! usiug kerosene oil tor turpentiue.
This Is bad for tue hops, for when Tire odor
OF the OH strikes through the bale, the na.
tural flavor Of the hop becomes destroyed"
