Louise Is Here.
RuiAILUP, Aug. 26-There has been q consid-
elAble advance in the price of hops here within
We past ten days. From % cents they rose with
yefy excited market TO q cents, and now
faad at so cents per pound. This price is be-
!ond what any one had dreamed OF, and 1t looks
uh they had reached the maximum price. In
ne meantime growers who two weeks ago
you'd have sold II they got Is cents will not
now sell ~ 80 cents. In fact the farmers are
aRledemoralized at their great success and as is
nTsys the case in very successful years. some
eifhem hold on too long and have ultimately TO
aceepta lower price OF course no one can tell
whether tomorrow will bring a rise or fall. but
shoulc the price decline we might look for a
Hampede OF growers. This is itself enough TO
adp ths decline. and the growers should learn
1al putting all their crop on the market at
shee Is the sure way to make low prices. While
@i1e other hand it is dangerous holding on 10
