The English customs returns, recently pub ished, show decrease in the importation to this country of wool, of cotton piece goods, of jute, linen yarns, linen piece goods and silk goods, during the nine months ending September 3Oth, 1884, and an increase in the importation of handkerchiefs, shawls, rib bons, silks and other articles, goods of silk and other materials, wool and worsted fa- brics, worsted fabrics, coatings and slight increase in carpets, as compared with 1883. The decrease in the importation of raw wool, from S279, ,186 to $236, ,87O, while the impor- tation of wool and worsted fabrics has in creased from S89O034 to S993, ,S71, and of worsted fabrics, coatings, from $1 ,123, 672 to $1 ,430, ,367, indicates that England under the recent tariff reduction, finds it more profta- ble to manufacture the wool into goods, and send the goods here, than to send the raw wool to the United States. Of course the more manufacturing England does for Amer ica, the less Americans have to do for them selves.

 The New York Herald says: During the current fiscal year nearly thirty-four million gallons of whisky must be removed from bonded warehouses and either exported or thrown upon the market In the latter event nearly thirty million dollars in taxes must be paid to the government by the owners of the whisky. This tax, if enforced, means ruin to these owners, and, it is said, will involve the fall of many banks which have made heavy loans secured by this commodity. If three or four millions of gallons are thrown upon the market per month there is no limit to which the price may not fall. It costs about 16 cents to make a gallon of whisky, and the tax is 90 cents. There is going to be a heavy loss somewhere" If this means that the Democrats in the next session of congress are going to make another effort to relieve the whisky gamblers it is well to be warned early. Such a scheme ought not to be car- ried through

J. T. Cochran & Co.'S San Francisco hop
circular, dated December 5th, says The
demand continues to lie very light, which
fully eXemplifies the policy of the brewers,
who are buying only for actual needs.
How long they will pursue this hand-to-
mouth policy remains to be seen, but the
effect is very damaging to the market at
present. stocks are accommodating, growers
are bound to be anxious, and dealers re-
fuse to operate, except at extremely low
prices. which are losing ones TO growers if
the growers were combined as well as the
forces against them. we should have an
active market, with prices far in advance of
the present; bat every day or so some
grower lets go his crop, which keeps pres
ent wants supplied without affecting prices.
Whether brewers are using substitutes or
not we are not prepared TO state; We be-
iicye they will not use them with hops less
than so cents here; still we notice papers
published i'll the hop-growing districts OF
New York, papers who believe and know
that the product of the world for 1884 is
100000 bales less than for 1888, fear that
substitutes are being used, and are calling
upon the Legislature of that State to pass
slaws at the coming session to compel brew
ers to label their barrels, stating what the
contents are made of; they believe if
such q law was in force to-day hops would
be selling for double what they are now
We do not want to cause any unnecessary
alarm among growers, but we have prom
ised in these circulars 10 publish the news
as it comes, and it would seem from the
present condition Of the market that some
thing unusual is going on 10 Keep the mar
ket depressed, more especially from the
fact that our estimates of the crop, us COM
piled from the best authorities, which
show a net shortage of over 100000 bales
from last year, are undisputed, for the SIM
pie reason that they are correct Prices are
nominal. IA to III cents. Receipts for the
