HOP CROP
OF THE
WORLD
Conditions Show the Yield viii Be
Considerably Under the Average

The local market has shown quite
some activity the past few days, be-
Tween 400 and 500 bales of Oregon
hops being sold at a basis OF ga a.
I1Oc, and one small lot brought lie.
This latter price was exceptional, and
lslmply paid because the buyer had
Ito have the lot On the coast quite
some business is reported on a basis
lof 5 a &c, according to quality, with
lgrowers showing more disposition to
dispose of their 1906 holdings. The
crop reports from the coast continue
excellent, especially from oregon and
Washington, and, while the Califor-
MIA reports are very good, 1t is
lolaimed they canot raise as large a
crop as last season. The New York
state yards continue to grow slowly,
and It is now generally conceded
shat II will be impossible to raise
over as per. cent of the 1906 crop.
7 he vines, however, are in excellent
condition, strong and we'll cultivated,
and entirely free of vermin. The re-
ports from England are not so good,
their crop being very backward on
account OF bad weather conditions,
and they also complain of vermin.
The Continental crops are reported
to be in excellent shape. Growers on
the coast are showing more dlsposi-
ltion TO contract the growing crop.
Iand at 1Oc great many contracts
have been written.

Editor Watervllle Times:
Dear Sir: The weather we have
had during the last week has been
very favorable to the growing hop
crop. The prospects for the coming
season are therefore promising. The
vines are looking very vigorous and
healthy In the different countries OF
the Continent; only in some parts OF
Austria the plantations are little
behind. /
There is no alteration to be report
ed with regard to the situation of our
market, The inquiry continues TO
be weak In accordance with the ad-
vanced season. Stocks are diminish. I
ing gradually. and will probably be
exhausted before the new plant Is |
coming I'm. Yours faithfully.

yorable weather has retarded the
development of the hops, thought I.
must be admitted that on the whols
they look better than could have
been expected, considering the draw
backs they have had TO encounter. ID
Benenden- Some OF the bine has
gone rather yellow, owing TO the
