THE HOP MARKET.
Condensed Facts and information About
the Crop and Its Movement.
Washington Worse of Than Oregon
The Press Sustain the Hop
Growers Organization.
A Washington View


Puyallup, Wash. Chronicle:
The hop question is without doubt as
Stunning a very serious situation and un.
less the grower takes firm stand it is
most likely to result most disastrously
to them. We contend now, as has been
our opinion for some time, that there is
no reason for sale of a pound of hons
Tor less than l2c, and as a matter OF fact
they should go to l5c. They may say
what they please, but the recent reports
that have gone broadcast in regard TO
the fine crop in the European district is
all bosh and England will be compelled
to draw on the United States for goods.
Recent cablegrams confirm the above
statement. We believe the hop growers
OF Oregon have taken the right step, for
there they have formed an association
with the intention of withstanding the
pressure of what is without question a
bear movement, and II they will hang
together for from 60 to 10 days they will
De aDle 10 crush out the scheme TO get
&c hops, and in return will receive what
they are worth, which is all the way
from ~ to l5c, according to grade. Over
in Yakima, similar organization has
been perfected. It behooves the grow
ers of this valley TO take some action in
this matter similar TO that of Oregon and
Yakima il they expect to even on their
crop. The hop market is absolutely
dead in the Puyallnp valley. Not one
bale has yet been disposed of, and from
the out look of the situation there is no
telling when the market will open up. A
few contracts have been taken in and
that has been the extent of the busi-
ness.
