THE HOP MARKET.-Emmet Wells Hop
Circular for June 9th remarks as follows
concerning hop prospects The week
shows no improvement in the English
plantations; in fact, each cablegram re-
ceived notes the condition growing worse,
and the season is now getting so far ad-
vanced that considerable apprehension is
felt for the safety of the crop. Favorable
weather may do much for the vine within
the next two weeks to come but the plant
by this time must have suffered so severely
as TO leave doubts Interpretation. The result
of this news has had most marked effect
upon our market, sharper advance hay
ing taken place on the week than during
any period since the memorable fall of
1882 The advance on all classes texcept
foreign) has been fully eight cents per
pound, as viii be seen by our revised quota
tons The growing scarcity of hops, both
in. this country and Europe, with two
months of heavy brewing season before we
enter upon the new crop, also helps to in
fiuence prices, and while a good deal was
said and printed about n hop famine this
time two years ago, we think that one is
nearer now than then; yet there is no
doubt that hops will be found in sufficient
quantity 10 carry the brewers down to the
new season, without being compelled 70 re-
sort to substitutes. While the accounts from
England continue discouraging. advices
from the continent of Europe have been uni
formly favorable until within few weeks
past, when cold nights checked the growth
of the vine. Favorable weather will change
all this, and Germany may be able to pro-
duce large surplus for expectation to Eng
land, in which event she will become
strong competitors of ours"
