Trade has been fair during the past
weel, notably in the movement OF
crops.
HOPE some hops are being shipped
on consignment, bat no sales 10 speak
% are being made. On February 9Th
]. 4. Cochran & Go. of San Francisco
ISSUED the blowing special report on
hops " Nothing of special import has
occurred In tbs market for the past
week; the long continued storms in the
Atlantic States has virtually brought
business of all kinds to a stand still,
especially IN hops. for there Is q marked
absence Of stocks in the cities, and
growers. in whose hands the balance of
stock remains. are compelled TO remain
at hBIne on account OF the impossible
ness of the roads: consequently, buyers
have nothing to do but await offerings;
pendinC them they have quoted the
market in New York city at II cents 40
top for choice; they might just as we'll
made IL u cents, for they stand no bet
ter show to get them at the fermer price
than they do af the latter their quo
ting the market lower 10 done for effect,
bat 10 be expressive, IL hot polite, it's
too thin : nothing has transpired for
the past 30 days TO warrant reduction
in price--on the contrary, they should
go higher. Twenty cents was paid
then for choice goods, and in some
easei u " was bid for certain lsts. and
the same prices are obtainable today,
wers like goods offered; no. the inevita-
BILE has rot 10 come; putting it Oh only
affords temporary relief the brewers
must have the hops, they are des-
tituie OF stocks, and they have got TO 90
10 the growers for them, and they have
got 10 bid up 10 gel them, because those
growers who have held up to this time
POSSESS, in addition TO their stocks,
plenty Of nerve TO bold longer. The
German market IL qaiet--priees steady.
In England the market IN steady; all re-
ports note the absence of States and
Pacific Coast hops there. which are
quoted tirmer. We quote this nominal
