Facts About Hops.

From an artiele.on the position: Of
the hop trade in Bradsfreet's, we take
the following:
The American crop of 1884 was
es.imatedin round numbers follows !:
New York State. l55, 900 bales; Pa.
ci6c coast. $1,000 bales; other States,
10000 bales; total, 100000 bales.
At present writing there are probably
$4,000 bales Pacifcs, and 10000
New York States still in first hands
at conservative estimate. Few deal
ers hold any hops to mention, but the
brewers are almost all stocked ny to
the fail. The new crop willsbe met,
therefore, by surplus Of about TO-,
900 balesion hand, or ons.third of the
largest crop ever grown in the States
The cost of raising hops in New
York State is given at l2s cents per
pound, against loa cents on the Pa
ciGc coast. Tbs, latter so isolated
from the centre Of consumption, how
evar, that 8 cents per pound must be

added for freight charges. Current
quotations are II cents for choice
States, and 10 cents for Pscilic-being
below the cost Of production, and un.
leas the new crop ehould fail, prices
must inevitably 60 lower till next
season.
With q good crop We shall not be
surprised to see prices drop fivo cents
per pound, which will barely cover
the cost Of preparing the hops for
market, after taking them from the
poles. In any case. however, it is
not anticipated that good hops will
be left atandin5 on the poles, even on
the Pacific coast, where labor is SO
scarce and dear. Human nature If
the same everywhere. and there are
few farmers who will not take the
chances of the future, and incur a
little extra expense. rather than face
dead loss.
The best qualities never go a-beg'
ging, but with the present accnmula
tion Of stock, another season OF over
production will cause the lower grades
to be almost wholly neglected, unless
they sink to sufficiently low ebb tc
induce speculation. There is probably
no other farm product which differs
80 widely as hops, between the high
est and lowest grades.

is much less work to care for a COW
