ago to-day since this storm began, for few
drops of rain fell during the afternoon
evening and night of Saturday, the 18th OF
June, 1884. The duration of this storm. the
amount of precipitation it leaves behind,
far exceeds any storm that has ever
occurred in the annals of pioneer history of
the settlement of this State by American
citizens. The one before this storm was

Logan's rain gauge, total of 10 inches,

hours. The present storm, lasting nearly
one week, precipitated 1.3S inches 80 of

four hOurs-that is, from u o'clock of June

THE HoP MARKET.-Hop-growe have
probably been less affected by the recent
transforms than any other class of farmers
in California. In u few instances the ram
did injury to their vines, in others it had
little effect, and in large number it was
beneficial. Late reports from the East and
Europe indicate that prices will be at a
high figure next fall, and California grow
ers feel iubilant, believing that, from pres
ent indications, 30 cents per pound at least
viii be reached. The circular issued by
W H d II. lie May, hop factors, London,
May Goth, gives the following encouraging
information: The accounts from the
hop plantations speak of a very serious
and alarming attack of fly. As many as
forty have been found on a small leaf in
the mid and weald of Kent districts; and
lice are now developing, so much so that
washing operations have been commenced
to-day in mid Kent The market shows
signs Of activity. Many merchants, whose
stocks are exceedingly low, are anxious to
fill up at present rates. American hops
are inquired for, and although the imports
have been heavy, stocks are very small
Continental stocks are exhausted. The
imports Of foreign hops into EnglOnd last
week were ! ,36l bales for the correspond
ing week last year y bales. The total i'm
ports of foreign hops into England from
