The price OF hops Is steadily rising. The
Indications are that the foreign crop will
fall from q quarter to third below the
average and this Is sending the quotations
up. Contracts have been made here a.
high As seventeen cents, with an advance
Of few cents for the present use Of the
growers and enough more at picking time
for expenses connected Herewith. Lili-
enthal & Co.. Of San Francisco, appear to
be the leaders In the market, not only
here, but all along the coast, and their
representatives are extremely active.
What the price will be later on In the sea
son II is difficult to say. In this connec-
ton the Sacramento Nees has the follow
ing: THE fact is the dealers as well az
the growers now realize that after the
coming crop is gathered there is going to
be larger demand for choice Pacifics
than there has been for many long day.
and those growers who hold on to their
crops will be able to get larger price
than was considered probable a few
weeks ago."
How much money Yakima will realize
from her hops this year 10, Of course prob.
lematical, but at present prices the old
yards alone will put half million dollars
into circulation. This 10 estimating the
yield at 400 bales, which Is considered
quite conservative. The new yards as q
rule are nothing to boast Of. The sea-
son was late and cold and the vines
consequently OF slow growth. The pros
pects, however, are for an extremely
long season and growers express hopes
that the average yield OF the new yards
will be from three TO five hundred pounds
to the acre. Some Of the yards that were
well cared for will 20 considerably higher
than the highest figures named. but the
yield will be much below that Of last year
when John Dittendoll secured 1900
pounds, William Steele LAO pounds. A.
B. Weed over 900 pounds and Fleming
& Burk 900 pounds from large area. A
Yakima correspondent in the Tacoma
Ledger Of the 25ih inst. places the acreage
yield ofold yards at 1900 pounds and that
OF the new yards at 1900 pounds, but there
was evidently something the trouble with
his head, for it certainly was a case Of ex-
treme mental exaggeration. The truth is
good enough In our case and such wild
statements instead OF being beneficial will
have tendency to making outsiders look
askance at the facts. II the average yield
OF the new yards is 400 pounds to the
acre it will put about $4,000 additional
into circulation.
HOP NOTES.
Julius Pincus, the we'll known repre-
sentative Of Lilienthal 4 Co., returned to
Yakima Wednesday and is hustling
around among the growers. Mr.. Pincus
expects to put in much OF his time in
Yakima this season.
Daniel Flint, the hop king of Cslifor-
mia, stopped off at Yakima on Saturday
last. He spent 81 veral days in visiting
various yards and was enthusiastic over
every thing he saw. He said he had
never seen any hops the equal OF those
in the Fleming yard, and so pleased was
he with the country that he decided to
return and buy property either for him
self or his son. Mr.. Flint was accom-
panied by his wife.
Another meeting Of the Hop Growers
Association will be held at the opera
house Saturday afternoon.
