Chas. Carpenter, on Wednesday, paid


~ cents for hops to Mr.. Knox, OF Tam
pico. The hops, while good. were not Of
the choicest grade, being trifle red ia
color, but ten bales were required to fill
out carload, and in consequence the TOP
price was paid. Choice hops are stiff al
the figure named and the prevailing
opinion is that the market price will
reach ten cents before December arrives.
What another year will do for this crop
is largely speculation but there is a gen.
eral feeling that the surplusage will be
largely used up and that the prices will
rule higher, In fact there is every reason
to believe that the producers in all lines
will be better repaid for their la Dor than
for several years past. That the bottom
has been reached and that there is an
upward trend is a matter for congratrla-
ton ON all sides.
