The Hop Market.

The local hop market is unfortunately
at a low ebb. The -Lachmund
company haye had buyers in the field
, and Mr.. Lachmund succeeded in pur-
chasing between 500 and 600 bales, it is
stated on good authority, at So cents.
The Yakima Hop Growers association,
it is believed, will remedy hereafter the
conditions that have forced 80 many
growers to part with their crops on fall
ing market produced by the buyers them
selves. This feeling is becoming general
throughout the coast. The Oregonian of
Monday contains picture of M. L. Jones,
the president of the Oregon Hop Growers
association. "Mr. JONES'" the Oregonian
says, was an active promoter of the hop
growers association, believing in it's sue
cess as business proposition, and that
such an association might become very
valuable to the hop grower by dissent
mating among them beneficial informa-
ton. He also believes that it will be of
material assistance in marketing the pro-
duct, by being able to meet consumers
requirements upon a reasonable basis.
Mr. Jones thinks that by such an associ-
alton, properly managed, each grower of
hops in the state of Oregon will realize .
better price for his product than is POSI-
BILE by each individual grower, acting in
dependently."
The Producers Price Current says:
brewers have shown some increase of
interest and more trading reported on
that account than of late. Exporters find
few hops here of suitable quality, and
bulk of buying on that account is at
points of production.
"In sympathy with the tone of the Ger
man markets. the Belgium trade contin-
ues to be firm and healthy. By wire
from Brussels just to hand hear that an
advance of few francs has been estab
lished this week, and that the tendency
is toward still higher quotations.
reports from other continental centers
present no special points OF interest, as
the situation has not materially changed,
but it may be accepted that all these
markets are strong in tone and that the
outlook is in favor of sellers"
"Lupulin," in Mark Lane Express,
gives an exact reproduction of the situa-
ton in Yakima:
Impartial observation of the state of
affairs in the Borough makes it increas-
ingly difficult to speak of our business
with any degree of confidence. Here and
there growers are found who wisely refuse
to accept the ruinous offers that are put
before them, but unfortunately they are
as a whole anxious and even pressing to
to sell therefore the certain result has
come about, and prices for medium or
lowish hops have receded still further
during the week The damage that has
been done to the trade by the pressure OF
growers cannot be ver-estimated. With
all my heart | wish l could persuade
every grower who has hops on hand to
withdraw them from offer, and if possible
suspend business until the market has
recovered it's tone "

warned the storm wrought great destruc-
ton. Many lives were lost. and no less
than forty-two shipwrecks were re-
corded.
The forewarning of this storm brought
great credit to the observatory, and ever
since then it has enjoyed great repute
throughout the Philippine archipelago.
Its fame as predicter of typhoons ex-
tended even to Hongkong, and the open
ing of telegraphic communication be-
tween the British colony and the Philip
pine city in 1880 was followed by an
nouncements of coming storms that were
of the greatest value to the English mer-
chants. So grateful were they that they
made up a handsome subscription among
themselves and forwarded it to the Ma
Mia observatory for the purchase of new
instruments. Moreover when the Brit
ish Government established an observa-
tory in Hongkong the plans of that at
Manila were very closely followed by the
engineer who had charge of its construc-
tion and equipment.
The general recognition of the observa-
tory's valuable work, spurred on by the
fact that the British Government was
erecting similar observatory at Hong
kong, led to the publication of several ar
ticles in the Manila papers calling on the
Spanish Government to give financial aid
to the humanitarian work of the Jesuit
Fathers Citizens and officials expressed
the same desire, and eventually, in re-
sponse to popular petition, the Queen
Regent, by a decree dated April Is, 1884,
converted the private meteorological in
stitution of the Ateneo Municipal into an
official establishment. 1t was organized
under two Jesuit Fathers as director and
assistant director, and suitable number
of employees were assigned to the various

First Typhoons Predicted
By the MoDiIa Observatory
Suved Lots Of Property, and Now it IS Very Probable
That Our Government Wlk Toke UP Its Good Work

j" HE Manila Observatory came into
existence as a non-ofilcial institu-
tion in 1865, under the direction of
the Jesuit Fathers -employed as
l. teachers in their college in the
walled city, generally known as
the Ateneo Municipal. They took up the
work on their own initiative their pur-
pose being to study the typhoons so COM
mon and so destructive in that region,
and II possible, to predict their coming
and their general course.
The first director of the new OBJ
servatory was Father Faura. an earn
est and enlightened scientist, who has ac-
complished much good in his chosen
work Associated with him as assistants
were Fathers Nanell and Rcort. The col
lege provided them with a few necessary
meteorological instruments, and with
these they kept faithful record of the
phenomena observed from 1865 to 1863, ex-
changing monthly and annual reports
with the principal observatories
throughout the world. AS the years went
on, private subscriptions supplemented
the funds allowed by the college, and new
and improved apparatus was bought.
Father. Faura's studies of typhoons
convinced him that there was some con-
nection between barometrical oscillation
and the coming of these dread storms,
and pursuing this line of investigation, in
July, 1879, he published his first warning
against impending typhoon. 1t stated
that a storm was then crossing the north
ern provinces of Luzon, and later advlces
confirmed the prediction, for the typhoon
did great damage in Isabella and Caga
yam
In November of the same year the OBJ
servatory predicted another typhoon
which would prove dangerous to Manila.
Intense excitement followed throughout
the city, and Don Alexandra Churruca,
captain of the port, suspended all water
traffic and prohibited all communication
with ships in the bay. The typhoon
came, but owing to Father Faura's warn
ing the city was prepared. Little dam
age was done there. In all other parts

Jacobs, it seems. had been selling his
cigars at a rate that other cigar men
declared left no margin for profit if he
was conducting a legitimate business
Moreover, he had bought only $25 900
worth of revenue stamps, but his bust
ness was so large that it ought to have
paid twice that sum TO the internal rev.
enue. Putting these facts together. the
internal revenue officers began a quiet
investigation, and eventually came to the
conclusion that his revenue stamps were
not genuine.
They had matters all ready to swoop
down on him when in the course of their
Investigations they were brought in con-
tact with the secret service men The
latter were not ready for their grand
coup. for they had not yet located the
makers of the counterfeit stamps Ac-
cordingly the internal revenue officials
were given the tip to lay low for a

observatory have also written and in
vented. The institution has co-operated
with other learned bodies and has sent
out several important expeditions adding
much to the sum of human knowledge.
In March, 1886, the observatory was
transferred from the walled city to the
handsome block of buildings it now oc-
cupies in the suburb of Ermita. At the
same time two new departments were
added. The seismiCal or earthquake de-
partment and the magnetic observatory.
They were officially recognized by the
Spanish Government in 1888, liberal sal
aries being assigned to the officials en-
ployed in them.

Manila Observatory was officially invited
to attend the Meteorological Congress at
