The Outlook for California Esop-Growers
and Dealers.
New York, June 2fth.-Your reporter
to-day saw member of the firm of Lilien-
thai Bros, California hop dealers, and
asked him regarding the report of a re
markable glut in the market just now. 1t
is true.r he said and we can't see any
prospects of Improvement. California hops
sell at from seven to ten cents per pound,
and very little is selling at that. The ex-
ports this year have been one-half less than
last, and there is no immediate prospect of
England buying hops here. When you
understund that California has a surplus of
from $4,000 to $4,000 bales on which the
transcontinental freight charges would
amount to more than they could be sold
for, YOU will not wonder that dealers here
are worried. The market is most depressed,
and is sagging down all the time. The crop
prospects in New York State are very good"
A member of the firm of Uhlmann Bros.
said "At present there is no money in
the business Tor growers or dealers. The
prices have not been so low in six years.
'.What is the cause ?" was asked. q" The
reason is that there was an exceedingly
large crop last year, and as 4 result
brewers bought heavily, because they could
buy at low figures Now they are over
stocked. The outlook for this years crop
is very promising. If the growing crop
gels injured during July by fly which de
stroys the vines there will be trouble, and
the old crop will advance in price. From
Utica, in this State, a large hop center
comes the news that next season crop IS
already offered at ten cents. If things keep
on as they are going now panic may soon

holders have no faith for higher prices for
next fall
y member of the Produce Exchange
said; In May, 1882 the price quoted for
hops was % cents per pound, and in No
vember 81 10. 1t remained at the latter
figure till December, when values began to
decline, the price receding about five cents
week. a few persons protted by this
bull movement but n very large majority
of the growers lost or will lose by it in the
end. Thousands of farmers have increased
their crop acreage, while thousands Of
others who never grew hops before came
into the business. Brewers bought heavily
last year because of low prices, and the re-
suit is big stock. The stock in the hands
of growers is large, and there is an enorm-
Gus crop coming forward. The outlook for
remunerative prices to growers IS not en-
couraging.
Tho Indian Situation.
WASHINGTON, June 24th.--The outbreak
of Cheyenne Indians. which was threatened
on Saturday last, has been brewing for
year or longer. Army officials here attrib-
ute it to dissatisfaction on the part of the
Indians at leasing their reservation to cat
tlemen The Cheyenne reservation is one
of the largest in Indian Territory. II COM
prises about 4, 279, coo acres. OF this amount

cattlemen, who are grazing vast herds. The
Indians are divided on The question of ieas-
ing the land the majority apparently being
opposed to it. 1t is said here by officials
that the cattlemen have rCsOrted to ques
tionable methods in securing control OF the
ranches. The reports on file at the Office of
the Commissioner Of Indian Affairs indi-
cate that the leasing of the lands was the
original cause of the trouble among the In
dams These reports are from Agent Dyer,
on the Cheyenne reservation, who ranks as
one of the best Agents in the Indian serv-
ice. He was appointed to his present posi-
ton about year ago, and Immediately on
assuming his duties he informed the Inte-
rior Department that trouble was threat
ened, and that unless precautionary
measures were taken an outbreak would
be Inevitable He asks that tU00 cavalry
men be sent 10 the reservation. AS reason
for his statement, Agent Dyer said his pre-
decessor had not exercised strict control
over The Indians; that they had been al
lowed to do as they wished. Mr. Dyer, ON
assuming the duties Of the agency, endeav-
ored TO control the Indians. He reported
To the Commissioner of Indian Affairs that
they laughed at his attempts and boosted
thai the Gcverunent could do nothing
with them. ASSnt Dwyer was in Wash
ington some weeES. since. He urged that
1000 cayallyluen beSent 10 the reservation
as soon as possible, tn, scare the Indians,
aud show them that the, Government had
sufficient force to punish them II necessary.
He thought If this method of Influencing
them was adopted they could be controlled
without bloodshed on either side. He said
the Cheyennes were as Wsrlike as the
Apaches: that they were well armed, and
could put 100 TO 1900 warriors on the
warpath az any time.
