HOPS AND BEER.

New YORK, July 20. The statement
recently made by some hopsmen that the
present glut of their market was owing IN
,art to the use of substitutes for hops by
brewers is emphatically denied by those
gentlemen. Hop dealers show by statistics
that if the same amount of hops were put
in each barrel of beer as formerly. namely,
one and a half pounds, the entire crop OF
the world would not have suticed for the
amount of beer that has been brewed In re-
cent years. A we'll known brewer denied
this, saying: ga few years ago this state
grew nearly all the hops that We're raised IN
the country. Growers were comparatively
Jew, and had regular monopoly OF the
business. They dictated prices, and we had
to conform to them, for, owing to the heavy
tariff, importation then, except for the
higher grades of beer, was out OF all ques-
tion, But now Immense crops are raised
in California, Oregon and Washington ter
ritury, and owing to the greater fertility OF
the soil on the Pacific coast, they can be
produced much cheaper there than in the
east, and will soon be of as fine quality In
every respect. 1t is this that makes them
so cheap at present-not because we use
any less of them, for we do not. There are
too many rivals in the brewery business fol
a man to put an inferior article ON the mar
ket. and he dare not make anything dele
terious to health, even if so disposed.
