cular. I'VE do not consider the crops OF the
hops that have been picked, we fear, may have
a more depressing effect in prices than even
larger crops. At all events this fact viii induce
an amount of caution on the part OF dealers in
selection of grades which hiss been rarely prac-
ticed before. 1t will therefore be expedient II
not necessary for growers to consign their goods
TO the larger markets In this way, too, better
prices may be obtained, rs the market being fit
full, on account of the variety OF quality, buyers
viii not care to chance buying TO arrive, and
NAV PERHAPS pay a premium for hops at hand.
The statistical position has not yet been ae-
curateiy determined. When ii is we shall send
you our bulletin. 1t is difficult TO say that
England will have about 22500O old duty. Ger
many will have more than last year. New York
state will have l25oo0 to 10000 bales.
