HOPS IN EUROPE.
A Fair Market Promised for Good
American Hops This Season.

A Fair Market Promised for Good
American Hops This Season.
William Noakes, Son & Collard, hop
factors of London, write as follows under
date of September 10th:
Picking of our 1891 crop is now gen.
eral. The early sorts do not show much
quality, but the quantity proves to be
above expectation. The hot weather that
has prevailed for the past week, however,
has been especially beneficial to the de-
veiopment of the Goldings and later
kinds of hops, so much SO that the total
crop is now estimated to produce 100000
cwts
These figures are still liable to revision,
as should this high temperature continue
another fortnight it will be impossible to
obtain all the hops before they commence
to deterIorate from over-ripeness, and the
injury caused thereby may materially
minimize the recent Improvement
IA great variety is shown in the sam
pies hitherto offered on the market, and
prices range from 40 shillings to l20
shlllings. All sound parcels are taken
freely, but diseased hops are almost un-
salable. We believe at least one-third of
the crop will be of the latter character.
The latest reports from Germany are
scarcely SO favorable. although much
larger yield is still anticipated than was
thought possible month ago. The news
from the other producing countries of
Europe, is mostly good.
There has as yet been no business on
this side in new American hops to speak
OF. But Easterns and Westerns will no
doubt meet with free sale, provided the
quality is good and prices reasonable

The Porte has sent note to the Pow
ers explaining that when Russian com
mercial ships were passed through the
Dardanelles Turkey had no knowledge
that any of them carried soldiers or mill
tary supplies. AS soon as it was discov-
cred that such carriage was being made
Turkey put a stop to it, and now suggests
that it has done all in the premises it was
called upon to do. This is a sufficient
explanation, and the European Powers
must accept it. The Porte declares that
it was deceived by Russia, and that so
soon as it discovered the deceit it pro-
tested and stopped the passage of ships
bearing soldiers or munitions of war.
Turkey could certainly do nothing more,
nor was it called upon to act in retalia-
tion 1t is evident that the Powers cam
not drain from the incident any pretext
whatever tor further demands upon the
Sultan.

The Street Improvement Company
appears to be in imminent danger ofa col
lision with the City Trustees. The COM
pany was not organized to make money,
as we understand it. 1t is an association
of public-spirited citizens who put up
their money to bring the cost of street
Improvement down to a reasonable
figure. To that end they united, incor-
porated and entered the field of competi-
ton for street work at prices that would
cover the cost of their outlay. The object
was to promote and stimulate the build
ing of good roadways in Sacramento. To
that end the members of the company
have labored diligently and with sue
cess, as everyone knows. The cost of
grading and paving has been greatly re-
duced, and as result more miles of good
streets have been made in Sacramento
within year past than ever beforein one
year in the history of the city, and at a
cost very materially below figures paid
heretofore. The company, SO long as it
pursues policy that results so benefi-
Gently, ought to be encouraged. 1t
should receive the aid and the applause
of all the people, for unquestionably but
for it not one-half the work already ac-
complished in street improvement would
have been undertaken. We trust that
the company will not grow weary of
well-doing and that the Trustees will
encourage it to remain in the field. If
enterprises of this character are not
fostered, if public spirit is not COM
mended, we cannot expect men to come
forward and lead and labor in the good
work of city improvement and we may
fall upon the condition of actual stagna-
ton. But the Improvement Company
should live up to its agreements, and if
it was understood that certain kind of
gravel should be used in the improve
ment of a street it should be compelled to
use that gravel, just the same as any
other contractor would be.

THE VISITING LIBRARIANS.

In a few days the members of the
American Library Association will visit
Sacramento for few hours. They con-
stitute a large body of highly Intelligent
people, practical observers, and thought
full men and women. 1t is proper to re-
ceive them with some little manifestation
of concern, and entertain them appropri-
ately. With that end in view the Mayor
has called meeting of citizens for this
evening 1t ought to be well attended.
The occasion of the visit is not one call
ing for the expenditure of much, if any
money. There is to be no feasting or
anything of that order. These people.
coming from every State in the Union,
and from the Canadas, are to pass few
hours in viewing the Capital City. They
will, as Librarians, be very solicitous to
see the State Library, possibly the City
wise to the citys Art Gallery. That,
with brief drive through the residence
sections, would absorb their time. What
is wanted is such greeting by citizens,
and such escort and informal attention as
the credit of the city and the character OF
the guests demand Kindly attention
will send them away properly informed
and well pleased with the city and sec
ton.
That is a kind of home missionary
work that the towns and cities of Central
and Northern California can well afford
to engage in. We can intelliCently push
the claims of these parts Of the State upon
the attention of visitors without offense
and with profit. Indeed, intelligent
visitors wish to be informed concerning
the localities they visit, and they solicit
such information from residents as will
enlighten them upon the question of
California and her claims. However,
aside from the duty to see that strangers
do not come and go without some atten-
ton, we owe it TO the title of Sacramento
as the Capital City to do honor to the ex-
cursionists at the first place where they
make a stop on reaching the State.
