"Prices for "a hops remain firm for
good qualities. Business quiet; transac-
tons insignificant"
White River Journal: The hop outlook is
q gloomy one. The low prices were bad
enough, but to have the onslaught OF YER
min by wholesale was more than the
grower bargsined for. The discouraging
conditions are not local only, for COM
plants are rife wherever the hop 10
grown. But there is one silver lining to
the dark cloud overhead, and that is the
chance for better prices next year. The
report comes from all directions that
growers are making calculations to pillow
up their fields and retire from the BUSH
ness, while great many others will not
attempt to pick this seasons crop. All
these discouraging features may possibly
bring prices next year to point where
there will be money in the production.
The past should teach our ranchers one
dearly-won lesson-and that is not TO de-
pend on any one article. Diversity your
crops and get some good blooded hogs,
and the mortgage will be lifted and you
will again work for yourself instead Of
some one else.
Mr.. Frank Shardlow feels confident
that good prices will be obtained within
the next three or four months and with
this belief he is arranging to pick.
Shardlow & Mcdaniel still hold their
crop of 1894. numbering 125 bales, and
propose to keep on holding until the con-
ditions have changed. McCook & His
cock have also the 800 bales they har-
vested last year and it is reported that as
soon as the '95 crop is gathered one OF
the firm will leave for the east and Eng
gland in hopes of placing them advan-
tageously. There are all told about 1000
bales of the '94 crop left in the county.
Puyallup Citizen: julius Pincus says
that his house, the Lillienthals', have
abandoned their interest in ffteen yards
which they own and control this season
and will do nothing further towards pick
ing this season. Lice have got too much
Roadway and market conditions will not
justify the enormous expense necessary
to even pull them out even. This firm,
which heretofore has done a wide BUSH
ness of advancing money on crop mort
cages, will loan absolutely no picking
money this season.
Wolverhampton (Eng.) Hop Grower:
There is little to report; but though the
demand is small, prices remain firm.
The general outlook as to the future is
decidedly in favor of higher prices. Re-
ports from both the Continent and Am, r
lea all point to short crop, and the
latest estimate ON the Borough OF the
home production is that there will be a
shortage of nearly 100000 cwts as COM
pared with last year.
julius Pincus has telegraphed to his
house recommending advances on Yak
ina hops. He had previously made an
adverse report as to the advances on the
understanding that the hops were not Of
good quality, but personal inspection
resulted in change of his views.
Mr.. John Mackison says that he will
not pick his yard unless he can be assured
price in advance of the cost of produc-
ton. He states that the quality of the
hops is good, but the yield not as heavy
as last year. This is due in some extent
to the fact that there are spots where the
hops are yet in the burr.
Louis Lackmund, the representative Of
Horst Bros, who have such an enviable
record in Yakima and throughout the
state for violated contracts, is reported by
the Puysllup Citizen as saying that Yak
ina county will not harvest over 5000
bales of hops on account of the ravages
of lice.
Shardlow & Mcdaniel are building a
large storehouse for hops on their Sunny
side ranch. In the Natcheez Dan Sinclair
has enlarged his hop house, and Walter
White has built new and commodious
one.
A Philadelphia firm is contracting
heavily in the vicinity of Jervais, Ore,
at s@S3z cents. They advance cents
for picking money.
T. M. Vance is looking for some one
who wants to take his hops in the yard
and pay one cent per pound for them.
A new hop stove was taken to the
ranch of Jack Bradford, on the Mckee.
