the nor TRADE.

w. III. Il II. Lena, hop factors, under
date of June 10th. review the English
hop market as follows:
During the past week a large quantity
of hops have been bought for consump-
ton. and stocks of all descriptions are
so exceedingly small, that In the face of
the present prospects, holders Will not
sell except at further considerable ad-
vance. The reports from the planta-
tions are most serious. Fly and lice
continue to increase, while the cold
weather of the past two days has check
ed the growth of the plant. In many
gardens the vines are covered With
honey dew, aud nothing now can save
them from going into black blight. A
considerable rise In American hops has
taken place dnring the past few days,
reports of the American crop not being
at all satisfactory. Australians are near
ly cleared off the market. A further
rise of 5s. per cwt. in Belgian hops has
been obtained. The imports of foreign
hops into Engl md last week we're $50
bales; for the corresponding week last
year, 81 bales. The total imports of
foreign hops into England, from Octo-
Der |, 1883, to June IA, 1884, were S5,714
year, 81 ,604 bales.
San FRANcIsco. July 9.-The hop
market continues to advance. A COM
mission man said today that American
growers have planted an extremely
large crop, which under the influence of
high prices for the past two years, and
the harvest of 1884. would under ordin-
ary circumstances be SO great as to de-
press prices to very likely an unprofit-
able figure, say below 10 cents per
pound. As fortune would have it for
the American grower, the English crop
has suffered badly from rust and in
scots. The latest news from England
is to the effect tina. the crop will be Il
failure. Inasmuon as English brewers
are large buyers here, under ordinary
circumstances, their demands will be-
largely increased. In fact the export
demand is already much larger than it
has been, and the advance from % cents
to 80 cents per pound, in the past few
days, is due to that cause. How high
| the quotation will be forced Is a ques-
| ton which dealers would gladly have
announced. Meantime they are buying
| in hand .to-mouth way. The German
crop is reported IN a good condition,
aud the American, ~ has been sald,will
be an unusually good one, SD that suoh
extreme prices as prevailed in 1882 are
not likely to be match d. raere Is said
to be abouS 10000 b les in California,
outside of brewers hands, which Is a
comparatively small stock at thu season.
Sales have been made tois week at 81
cents to IS cents per pound and 40 cents
is asked by growers. Many Of the small
or growers who long since sold their
production at fair profit, doubtless
wish they had not. The advance may
not be maintained, but MP to this time
1t is considered as wholly legitim tte, Is
there has been no speculative buying.
The probability is that prices will be
maintained. at least until the ELI ct of
the September harvest is felt.

from the efforts of workmen imported
or taught by him, and now there are
many workshops in America, chiefly
In the large cities, where diamonds
are cut to order, The tariff has been
adjusted so as to foster the diamond
cutting industry here. Uncut dia-
monds may be imported duty free, but
a heavy duty is imposed on the cut
stones. The modern process of dia-
mond cutting is much the same as
that which has been followed
for centuries. The wages paid the
workmen are about the same as those
paid to frst-class working jewellers.
Mr.. Morse has a machine of his own
invention which he uses, and which
he believes is an improvement on the
old method. He mounts two dia-
monds in a sort of double lathe. using
one against the other. This is close
imitation of the old hand method, In
which the diamonds are cemented
each at the end of a stick or handle,
and rubbed together with a strong
pressure. The diamond dust which
results from this process, and is used
Ia cleaving and polishing diamonds, is
called bort. 1t is also made by pull
verizing small or imperfect diamonds
which are of little value for cutting.
The ingenuity of jewelers. has been
taxed to find use for the small dia-
mond chips that come off in cleaving.
Some of these chips are used 70 repre-
sent the eyes of birds or animals. The
rage for solitaire stones of late years
has filled the market with cheap clip
pings. When Mr.. Morse cut the big
| Virginia diamond in Boston, in 1859,
most jewelers. doubted the possibility of
cutting diamonds in this country. But
gradually the inevitable law of trade
asserted itself, and so profitable busi-
ness could not longer be monopolized
abroad. There are about 100 work
men now employed in New York City
alone in cutting diamonds, and their
wages average about $25 a week. The
expert who decides how a stone shall
be cut does not always perform the
actual labor of cutting, but simply
directs the lapidary how to cut SO as
to bring out the utmost brilliancy of
the stone. It happens sometimes
that The first cutting pro-
duces an apparently dull stone
and that skilIful cutter takes
the same stone, and, although reduc-
ing it in size, increases its value by
producing greater brilliancy. Some
times part of the stone may be so
hard that it cannot be polished. It is
not always the hardest stones that
are most brilliant. With free trade
in uncut diamonds it is common
thing TO send considerable quantities
in paper bags through the mails be-
tween different counties.

The Humming Bird.
Milwaukee Wisconsin.

Entirely peculiar to America are
the humming birds. Their only ri
walls in the metallic Drilliancy of color,
the sun birds, belonging to East
India. Thus far about 450 species of
humming birds have been described,
of which only Is species belong to the
United States, and only one single
specie to Wisconsin. Not knowing
the difference between the sexes.
people frequently say: II have seen
them on my morning-glories and
honey suckIes, and I know | have
seen two species, one wi IA fery-red
throat and the other without that Or
nament." 1t is generally believed that
the humming birds live entirely on the
nectar of flowers. This is popular
mistake. Their principal food is small
insects, as testified by numerous ex-
aminations of the stomachs of those
birds; yet many times bird-hunters
have squee ezed out of the throats and
bills of humming birds that were shot
while feeding several drops of the
sweetest fluid. The time when the
humming- birds arrive in the spring g
is generally when the garden car
rants are in flowers; sometimes little
earlier. The males arrive first. It is
surprising how abundant they some :
times are around the currant bushes
The nest, an exceedingly neat little
structure, is seldom over an inch and
half In diameter, and is built on the
upper side of a horizontal branch Of a
tree-carefully lined on the outside
with pieces of lichen SO as TO appear
like a natural ichen-covered knot of
the tree. We have observed several
nests built close to one, and sometimes
between two very young branches,
whose leaves would, when fully ex-
panded, form natural umbrella over
the nest. There are always two eggs
in the nest, and they are of white
color The usual observer will
frequently take the sun birds to be
humming birds, while the ornitholO-
gist can point out marked differences
between these two beautiful families
of passeres.

How to Find the Profit.

Prof. Arnold gives a very interest
ing talk in the Rural New Yorker on
the dairyman's best way for enhanc
ing his profits. The whole argument
hangs around the idea of reducing the
cost of producing milk. One way to
do this is to improve the milking stock.
While this work is certain, it is slow,
and must be the work of years. A
much more rapid and economical
way, is to reduce the cost of keeping
the COWS. This he may do In differ
ent ways, as by securing greater
warmth for them in winter. His
heaviest expense consists in wlntering
his cows, and the more they are ex-
posed to the cold, the greater the ex
pepse becomes. They eat more in
winter than summer to keep them
warm, just as he says, het iron Will
cool faster on cold day than it will
on warm day. If kept warm the
the cows will eat no more in winter
than they will in summer.
1t costs much less to tone down the
cold of our climate with warm build
i, gs for the herd once in a lifetime,
than to furnish extra food year after
year. He does not know of a single
dairyman thatcouId moi do something
in this line to reduce the cost of winter
keep, while most of them could reduce
it 0ne-third. Another poiat of waste
is the lack of full and steady supply
of good milk-producing food for the
herd, Through the whole Of the milk
producing season. Less than ten Ter
cent. of New York dairymen provide
against even a short midsummer
drought. Between a lack Of food in
summer and insufficient protection in
winter. the cost of producing milk is
made something like twice as great as
it need be. He says, follow these
rules and there is money in dairying,
and 1t is better way than to enhance
the price of dairy goods, which reduc-
es consumption, ana a very much bet
ter way than by waging a war Of
doubling justice with cheap substitutes
which could not exist If the bottom
cost of genuine products were reach
ed
