The Hop MARKET T. Cochran &
Co.'S San Francisco hop circular for the
week ending February 18th says: THE
market for the past week has been well
sustained in New York prices have re-
manned firm, and there is a growing ten
dency to raise bids on choice goods. The
city is not doing as we'll as the interior,
which fact is explained that growers of
choice hops are holding their growths at
home, causing dealers to send agents to
buy. Twenty cents is freely paid forGhoice,
where sellers are found, and we have it
from reliable source that III is bid, just
for a special order, you know All reports
say there is great scarcity of choice Pacific
coast hops in the New York and London
markets., and the same reports say were
there any choice Pacific coast spot goods
for sale they would bring as much as choice
States London market is firm, and we
anticipate large orders from there very
soon. The German market is firmer, and
hops are held very tenaciously in fact, it
| is reported that in one section the growers
would not sell at all at current prices and
| the buyers were forced to send away from
| home to supply their demands The trade
on this coast is improving. During the
| past ten days upwards of 900 bales, mostly
/ Sacramento hops, have been taken at from
II to 124 cents for export, the quality being
| fair to prime"
