England's enormous hop crop thin year
"A the cause Of considerable trouble 10 the
Washington hop grower. Prices are de-
moralixed. Not At any time for the past
three years has there been such a stagna-
eion in the market az today. Buyers and
exporters are manifesting little interest In
the product OF the Washington vines. No
large orders are being booked and current
quotations are low.
But the situation r. not without Its re-
deeming features. The average hop grow
er OF Washington II IN comparatively easy
circumstances. AZ compared with the
dull times q few years ago, and while the
daily quotations Of hops In San Francisco
and London are not cheering news to him
Just now, he ts In position 10 store his
hops and wait for the dawn Of a brighter
day. Anyway. he knows that even at the
present low prices he can dispose Of his
crop nj small margin Of profit and stand
q chance OF doing much better next year.
Since the Washington crop was harvest
ed. two months or more ago. there has
been little local selling. Some OF the iarg-
ar growers. such as Overlook q Hedges.
and w. J. Shinn. IN the White river valley
special trains TO New York and thence by
steamer direct TO London. Their hops were
disposed Of at time when prices were
been made this season. 80 far as If record
ed, is II cents per pound. Only few
offers were made mt this figure. the prevail
ing price having been, until the late drop,
II cents per pound.
Current quotations In this state range
from 10 cents per pound, with possibly
. fraction over this sum for extra choice
hops. The growers believe thai conditions
will change for the better during the win
ter and for that reason they are holding
on to their hops The result In that ship
ments are scarce and the railroads are
complaining.
The Washington crop according to the
most reliable estimates IL about % 90 bales
This is 5000 bales less than last years

OF 65.000 bales. Englapd's crop. which or

the statement issued from the English
markets and r. accepted by local growers
and exporters as the cause for the present
low price.
John =. Hartman. jr. who IA interested
In hop growing and who Ia a keen OBJ
server OF hop conditions, said yesterday
that tho unusually heavy crop in England
was responsible for the low prices and for
the stagnation which exists at present In
the hop market.
New York market conditions are not
encouraging" he said. "a thousand bales
would giut the market. The outlook IL not
fiatterfng. The growers In many cases
are able to hold on to their hops I'm the
hope OF better prices, which, OF course may
come at any time. There IL Just now 4

been for some time"

Italians Wave Arms Wildly when

Italians Wave Arms Wildly When
COnversing With One Another.
The farther south one goes IN Europe
the more do the people gesticulate in
conversation, asserts a traveller who is
at present doing" Italy.
A Neapolitan, he says, goes through
an entire course of calisthenics before
he has talked five minutes. Give a
Neapolitan a pair of dumb bells and
ask him what he thinks of the weather
and before he finishes his answer he
will have taken enough healthfuI exer-
else to last him all day.
This traveller spent many an interest
ing hour in watching the Neapolitan
talk. One day in cafe he sat next to
a couple of Italians, who were engaged
in a most spirited conversation. The
younger of the two men grow very
excited. With his hands he made
reaching and clinging motions, as if
climbing. Then he reached right and
left above his head, as one would do in
picking cherries. Then, without slack
ening his remarkable flow of conversa-
ton, he put the thumb and first finger
of his left hand together and held them
few inches before his eyes and went
through the careful movements of one
threading small needle. And all the
time he talked. Next he made overland
motions as of throwing. Then he gave
an imitation of some one swimming
After that he described several rapid
circles with his left hand, which gave
the impression of revolving wheel
Then he leaned forward and. with his
right hand lifted, acted as a person
would acs in trying to put a key into
keyhole. The writer asked his friend,
