CHERRY VALLEY, N. Y. u
Sawyer's Gazet of 7th says:
The buyers have been around con-
siderably during the week. but trade
has been much restricted. One n. Y.
dealer has been telling people that they
would only get SC next week, but he
would give 1Oc now as special favor.
Other buyers were evidently anxious
to get goods at l2c; l6c was reported
paid in some parts of the county. The
market lie certainly bad enough, but
not quite what some are affirming 1t to
be. There is nothing in the foreign
market to justify the low figures
offered here Besides. the market is
rising abroad while ours is declining.
the condition is peculiar; what the re-
suit will be is a matter purely of specu.
Iation.
Hops got a fine send off in this state,
but from the outset there has been no
indications of large crop. The cold,
wet weather of the past two weeks has
very much retarded the growth.
ABROAD.
The foreign market is more than suss
tanned. Figures are steadily advancing
both in England aud on the continent,
but it is at snail's pace. They do not
cease to tell us that they are short of
goods and that prices must advance.
Imports are very light, and unless they
have goods in dark closets they can't
hold out much longer.
New York export this week 3l6 bales;
import IL bales.
Exports since Sept. st, '9S, 6S,1l2
bales.
IN CHICAGO.
Chicago quotations of Pacifics good
to choice are l6 to l9 cents.
IN EUROPE.
The London Hop Grower says:
May 25.-The trade since the reopen
Ing of the market after the holiday has
been satisfactory and as there Is great
scarcity of all kinds inquired for, there
is decided upward tendency in values.
Both merchants and factors have very
little stock on hand and therefore hold
ers are able to make better prices. Pa.
cific coast hops are not selling so freely,
prices are firmer, and there Is every
prospect of higher quotations ruling.
To the Borough today prices keep
very firm and where sales are made
more money is obtained; attack Of
blight continues and some growers
have commenced washing.
UsBoRNE LETTER.
Thos. Osborne, of London, writes
under date of May 30, '94, as follows:
Since my last report we have had
some very unsettled weather, wet, cold
and windy, and hops are not looking
so well; fly aud lice have made their
appearance pretty general, and q few
growers have began to spray; all this
does not have any effect on our market;
there is no speculation, and brewers
will only buy just what they want, and
then they must have them at pretty
near their own price. On the night Of
the Goth we had severe frost-e to 10
degrees, This spoilt our fruit prospects,
which were good, and in many cases
now we shall not get more than half
the fruit expected-hops may be the
same-who knows?
