II would not be surprised IL Gen. Cam

crop is grown over vast territory. as is
the case in Oregon. Flattering reports
come from each section in which the hop
is grown. Picking will begin In about two
weeks. The total product last year in
Oregon was 10000 bales. Throughout the
state where the hop is grown there seems
to be sufficient moisture in the ground 10

sideration of all information it is thought
the crop this year will be in excess of

London Hrimes'' on silver I'm America.

London. Aug 13.-An editorial in the
Times commenting on ex-Secretsry Whit
ney's remarks on the silver question, ex-
presses the hope that SIR. Whitney's as
piration for an international agreement TO
be had on silver will not he fulfilled.
Americas previous efforts'' says the
Times, ito create an artificial demand for
silver only stimulated it's production. The
same result would follow, however. on a
large scale II the abortive project should
be revived. The Bland and the Sherman
acts failed 10 do the good expected of
them and left legacy of mischief which
gives promise OF long outlasting their re-
peal"
The Times proceeds with a discussion
OF the position OF the United States treas
nry. and IL considers that THE corn and
cotton exports in the face of our bad har-
vests. will serve to prevent a recurrence
OF the gold drain from America Amer
tca's currency is still in excess of the
eountry's needs, but II may be hoped that
time and increasing population will RENE
dy that evil. and that no more stop-gap
expenditures will be required 10 deal with
mischief which has been OF artificial
creation"
