THE WORLDS
HOP CROP
is LARGE
PRICES HAVE STEADILY DECLIN.
ED FROM "a CENTS LAST SPRING
TO go CENTS-BEER PRODUC-
TION SHOWS NO INCREASE.

There will be no hop famine in the
world this year, In every hopgrowing
country the prospects are good for
large crops on the acreage. The Uni
ted States will produce about 260 900
bales or $4,000 bales more than last
year, and Europe will have about L.
125,0OO hundred-weight or 100000
hundred-weight more than in 1911,
The total worlds crop is estimated
this year at 1,597OOO hundred-weight
which is 355,OO0 hundred-weight more
than was grown in 1911.
A year ago figures that were COM
piled showed a probable shortage of
100000 hundred-weight in the worlds
supply. The estimates we're substan-
TALLY correct for the market advanced
more or less steadily until the price
of hops reached As cents on the Paci-
fic coast. The statistical shortage,
however, was apparent rather than
real, because the high price caused
the brewers to economlze, and their
requirements were not as heavy as In
previous years. That there was more
than enough hops to go around has
been demonstrated by the fact that
there are still several thousand bales
of the 1911 crop unsold on the Pacific
coast, and the price of these is stead
lily declining. There have been sales
of several lots recently at 20 cents by
growers who might have obtained Al
cents last winter.
1912 Crop to Leave Surplus.
If the short crop Of 1911 was more
than sufficient the much larger croI
Of 1912 is likely to leave a surplus OIL
the market That is why the prlc,
pendulum is swinging backward. New
crop contracts opened in the sprinl
around 27 cents, and since then tn
decline has been uninterrupted.
The present price of the 1912 croI
Is 20 cents. Whether or not the mar
ket will go lower will depend on varl
Gus developments. The crop has no
been made anywhere in the world ye
and there Is ample time for disaster b
overtake 1t somewhere. Up to tn
present time, however, everything ha
been favorable. 43f
Beer Sales Fall OFF.
Beer sales in the first half of thi
year did not show the increase tha
was recorded in the preceding s year,
The brewery output barely held II
own In the first part of the year, an
has lately decreased.
The falling off in June amounted {
about 10 per cent. The loss was heaN
lest in the large beer consuming an
producing centers Of the east, partiC
ularly Chicago, Milwaukee, st. LOU
and New York. The poor brewer
business has had much to do with r'
pressing the demand, not only fc
hops now existing, but also for tn
coming crop.
In England the good crop outlool
the abundant supply of old hops an
the labor troubles have all operate
against the market, while in Cont

All these factors have combined

with the values of last year, is sti
mich higher than the average.
