guesses at the probability of whether the price

reports are just now there ID nothing to cause
any Tear OF IL declining.
A question that is causing considerable
anxiety amongst growers is the reported APP
pearance OF the hop louise In Warrington. The
following letter from w. A. lawrence Of Water

Is seif-expianstory.
Il have today received from E. Meeker 4 Co,
Of Puyaiiup. Washington, letter enclosing q
sprig of hop vine taken from q vine growing
not In yard, but on the east side of . house in
ruyallup. The vine leaves are sprinkled with
vermin, and in the letter Z. Meeker & Co. ask ii
tn' se are hop lice. have carefully compared
them under the glass with the genuine Apais
humnltts. or hop louise OF our yards here. and /
can see no difference.

ENGLISH MARKET.
The crop prospects In England are not bright.
Indeed they are very unfayorable to the grow
era there, bat with good weather from this on
they may be able to harvest fair crop. at the
best, however. it viii not be more than two
thirds of last years crop.
Mould and vermin are doing q great deal OF
damage to the already backward CROP and the
weather 10 no less ungeniai. The London
market remains frm. The following are the
