HoPs.-The San Francisco Examiner says
that 1.-THE failure of the hop harvest in
England has elected great demand for
the surplus left on this coast. The Pacific
Coast has almost exhausted its supply of
the old crop, aud but few bales are left in
the warehouses of this city. The new crop
is coming in, and is commanding price
ranging from forty to fifty cents a pound.
| 1t is estimated that from $4,000 to 10000
bales will be exported from this State to
the East, whence it will be sent to Europe
| What is left of the old crop is selling at 274
and 50 cents, according to quality. The
brewers of this city have formed a COM
bination to discourage the introduction of
beer imported from the Eastern cities, by
reducing the price of the beer made at
home" The figures given above are much
higher than any reported here for this sea-
sons crop. Emmett Wells New York cir
cular of July 25th says of the market
there; Gable advices received here this
week from London have been somewhat
conflicting. One came to a prominent hop
firm here, stating that the plantations
were growing worse and the market
advancing. Immediately on receipt of
this news the firm in question made it
! known to brokers, and was soon besieged
with offerings by samples Of some 500 bales
Before etfecting any purchases, however,
! two or three other cablegrams reached
! them of quite a reverse character. The
result Is, the finn bought no hops, nor are
| they likely TO do 50 under existing circum-
stances. This condition of affairs shows
| how very susceptible this market is to any
change that may transpire for the worse in
| the English plantations. This market is in
about the same condition as reported last
week. A few small sales have been made
Just enough to base quotations on. The
highest price we hear of is % cents cash,
and to this point We reduce our figures. The
terrific storm on Wednesday evening last,
which visited this city, seems to have ex-
tended to the hop districts of the State and
| from the accounts at hand thousands of
hop poles were thrown to the ground and
| string-yards were badly twisted and torn
| Where the poles withstood the blow
branches of vines were torn off and serious
| ly injured. This is the report from Water
vile 70 the New York Times: All ac-
| counts from the hop districts of this State
indicate a lighter crop than that of last
year. The average decrease being esti-
mated at % per cent, while the increase of
acreage is said to be not over 10 per cent
! There Will be five weeks before harvest COM
menccs, and changes may take place which
may alter all present calculations There
are yet no complaints of vermin of any de
scription; and repeating what we have
hitherto said, the crop promises to be of the
finest quality ever produced in the United
States
