The heavy advance In the price of Pacific
Coast hops Is well shown by a number of large
payments made to brewers by E. Clemens
Horst, for tho repurchase of -the hop .contracts
of the late 'firm of Horst Bros., hbpgrowers.
One of these payments has Just been made by
him to Ind, Coope & Co.. Ltd.. Burton-on-Trent,
England, -who received a net cash pay
ment of $23,000 for (their hop contract.
Vhilo these amounts are clean profits to the
brewers, tho bops are now being resold at more
than tho sum of these payments, plus the con
tract prices, and brewers who have sufficient
' stock to get along without the contracted hops,
or who expect lower prices later on. are taking
advantage of reselling their contracts.
The following Is a letter made public from
the National Association of English Hopgrow
ers: At a meeting held at tho offices of tho asso
ciation on Monday last, attended by represen
tative planters from East, Mid and Weald of
Kent, East and "West Sussex, Surrey and
Hants, the probable yield of the crop and tho
prospects of the market were fully discussed.
An exhaustive examination of our position
mcy bo thus summed up:
L The English crop of 1002, apart from tho
damage done by the terrible hall storm in the
Mjedway Valley, has come down much lighter
than the lowo3t previous estimates.
2. The average of all the districts can hard
ly -exceed five hundredweight per acre, gMng
a total yield from the reduced area of 48,024
acres of only 240,120 nunareaweigni, xne small
est we have had since 18S2.
3. The average quality and condition of this
season's hops Is much superior to that of re
cent years, the Intrinsic value of the crop is,
therefore, considerably higher.
4. The stocks held by others than consumers
a-e the smallest on record since the year 1SS3.
5. From reports of the American and Conti
nental crops and stocks. It does not appear
probablo that the importation of foreign hops
will this season exceed 150,000 hundredweight,
which Is much below the average of several
years r-ast.
C The natural increase In the production of
beer -will cause a corresponding increase In the
consumption of hops.
7. A serious deficiency in tho world's supply
of hops appears to 'be Inevitable.
8. The English position Is exceptionally fa
vorable to our industry.
9. The control of our market is more decid
edly In the hands of planters than It has been,
for many years.
10. The offers now being made for our pro
duce are manifestly Inadequate, being much be
low Its real value, especially considering the
great cost of cultivation this" season.
The meeting arrived at the conclusion that
English planters should be advised to withhold
their samples until their reasonable demands
aro. met by buyers. It being unanimously con
sidered that considerable advances on present
offers must bo secured by such policy, and that
the higher prices of the year 1SD0 may be
eventually reached.

HOP CROP OF THE WORLD,
Deficit of This Year's Product Made
Up For by Stock in Hand.
SALEM, Oct. 23. (Special.) Estimates of the
Oregon hop crop, made by Salem dealers today,
at th request of The Oregonian correspondent,
range from SO. 000 to 00,000bales. One of the
dealers who follows the statistics of the hop
business very closely gives tho estimate of 60.
000 bales. The higher figures given were an
estimate of from S5.000 to 00,000 bales, no one
using tho latter amount except as an outside
figure. John Carmichael. a buyer for the Eng
lish trade exclusively, says that the. hops did
not weigh out as well as expected, and that
the crop will not exceed 85,000 bales. Taking
this as an average estimate, the hop crop of
the irnltcd States will be about as follows:
Bales.
Oregon 85,000
California ' ftrvnno
Washington ........ etna
New York
20,000
Total for tha United States 1S5.CO0
To this must be added tho imports of Ger
man hops. which, according to Information
heretofore published from New York, vrlll
amount to 20.000 bales. American size This
will make a total of 205.000 bales of hops In
America. If tho exports amount to no more
than they UM last year, when England had a
bumper crop, this country will send away 55'
000 bales, leaving 155,000 bales for home con
sumption. These hops will be used In tho manufacture
of beer during. tho year 1003. At the usual
rate of Increase in the production of beer in
this country, the brew for the year 1003 will
amount to about 4S.000.000 barrels. This forms
a baels for an estimate as to tho amount of
hops that will" be consumed tfefore the crop of
1003 can bo placed In the hands of the brew
ers. Authorities differ regarding tho amount of
bops used in the manufacture of bear, some
saylnslhat a pound perbarrel Is jused,' while
uinera cay teat only three-quarters of a pound
per barrel Is required. An examination of. hop
and beer statistics for a number of years shows
-that for every barrel of beer manufactured In
thlB country almost a pound of hops has dis
appeared. Whether all tho hops "were used In
making beer, or some of them went Into yeast,
medlctnefcr other liquors bealdos beer. Is not
of much consequence -when It Is found that
through a period of years 08-100 of a pound
of hops, have disappeared for every barrel of
beer manufactured. The brewers take prac
tically all the hop product. If the lowest esti
mate of hop consumption be taken In figuring
on the amount of hops to bo used in making
beer in 1003, It will be seen that at the rate
of three-quarters of a pound per barrel It -will
require 36.000.000 pounds, or 200.000 bales, of
hops to make 48,000.000 barrels Of beer. If the
rate of consumption be placed at . of a pound
per barrel, the total consumption would' be
250,000 bales.
This year's crop, after deductions and addi
tions have been made for exports and Imports,
amounts to 155,000 bales, so that It Is apparent
that the consumption will exceed the production
by from 45,000 to 00,000 bales. A part of this
can be made up. from stocks of hops now on
hand, but slnco the Stocks on hand a year
from now must be as great as at present, not
much can bo counted on from this source. It
has ben the experience of the hop trade that
no difference how short the crop is there are
always .found enough hops to supply all tho
brewers, and a supply will be found for the
breweries In 1903. These figures, however,
show why prices have gone to 25c, and why
they may go to S0c,.35c or 40c.
Xo More Buying; In Germany.
Early In the present season American brew
ers bought freely of the German crop, making
purchases of some 20,000 bales, American size,
whereas the usual purchases amount to" only
12.000 bales. These hops were bought at from
33c to 42c a pound. In the early part of
October the German crop was found to be short
of expectations, and the rest of the Continental
crop being also short, the price of German hops
was pushed up to 4Sc, and since that time the
German crop has not been open to American
brewers.. In the last few days the statement
has been made that American brewers are buy
ing In Germany. Faber & Nels, -who are both
buyers and brewers, ray that no purchases of
consequence of Ccrman hops have been made
for about a month for shipment to this country
While the German crop 'exceeds tho .consump
tion in that country, the crop of the entire
Continent is no more than equal to. the demand
of the Continent, lss the sale3 already made.
For that reason, the price of Germans ad
vanced to an- equality with Americans, and
the English -brewers' will bo compelled to pur
chase In this "country.
' World's Crop" Short.
The Western Brewer, published at Chicago
In the Interests of the brewing trade, has. In
Its last Issue, a report of the hop crop of the
world, as estimated by Sonnen&cheln & Lann
desmann. of Prague, Bohemia. This report
shows that the world's crop of hops will be
about 172,700,000 pounds, while the world's con
sumption for beer will be about 220.000.000
pounds, showing a total deficit of about 47.300,
000 pounds. This shortage, the report says. Is
about covered by the stocks now on hand. Since
the brewers cannot use up their last' bale of
hops, but must always have some stocks on
hand. It would seem, taking these figures as
at least Fafe estimates on the clde of the
brewer, that there is a considerable shortage in
the. world's supply.
In view of the 'apparent fact that tits supply
is less than the demand, and that in this coun-.
try a large quantity of hops are in the hands
of dealers, who are determined to make some
good fhoney but of their holdings, there Is
some reason to expect a further advance. Yet
none of the dealers or prominent growers are
predicting further advances. The rlse'fom 203
to 25c was made In the face of assertions that
even 20c could not be maintained. The same
men who said that 20c waB too high are now
saying that 25c Is too high.
Speculators Control Situation.
Since the speculators have made the.presenf
price. It would seem that the maintenance of
the price depends upon what course the pur
sue. Certain It is that about a half dozen of
the largest hop firms of the United States have
in their control a sufficient quantity of hops to
enable them to control the market in this coun
try as long as the German market keeps on an
equality with It. The large number of con
tracts made by growers last Spring and Sum
mer, and the large quantities of hops grown
by men who arc-also interested as -dealers, have
placed the hops In the hands, of men who -can
Influence .the market as they wish. If . the
dealers should unload tholr holdings, there
would - probably be a slump, though dealers
who are watching for a move of that kind say
that the drop would not be more than 2c or 3c,
and'that the market would go up again before
the last of the 1002 hops are marketed. The
more likely course of the dealers, in view of the
shortage In the supply, is that they will hold
as long as they can see any prospect of making
tha brewors pay a little more for the hops they
have In their control.
All are waiting for England to come Into the
American market, for then some Idea can be
gained of the extent of the demand from that
country.

TRADING IN EXCHANGE
HIGHER RATE FOR STERLING AT
PARIS CAUSES SPECULATION.
Stoclc Market Duller and More Nar
row Than oa FrevioHS Days
of the Week.
NEW YORK, Oct. 23. Foreign Exchange was
again the governing feature of the stock, mar
ket today. There was. considerable speculation
In exchange because of the slightly higher rate
for sterling at Paris and the resistance offered
by the local market to tho volume of bankers'
bills put out during the morning. Thse offer
ings. It was believed, represented accumula
tions of bills held In reserve for such an emer
gency. Most of the day's business was done
at $4 88.75 for Saturday's steamer. Experts In
timated that an outward gold movement might
soon be Inaugurated, althpugh actual- negotia
tions could not yet be consummated on a profit
able basis. Later In the day, demand sterling
broke 20 points, and was offered at $4 80.00.
Little can be eald for the stock market, which
was duller and more narrow than on the pre
vious days of the week. Somo speculative ac
tivity -was shown at the opening In Baltimore
& Ohio, Reading, Atchison, Pennsylvania, St.
, Paul, Missouri Pacific and the St. Joseph &
urana isianu securities, ail or wnicn scored
slight advances. The rest of the list was fairly
firm, with practically no demand for tho Indus
trials. Further activity was shown during the
morning session, when Louisville & Nashville
advanced 2 points, but elrewttere the list made
no material change. Operations continued al
most altogether professional, and some traders
covered their short contracts, on jtha theory,
that tho market had been oversold." The early
gatns, with a few exceptions, were soon lost,
but such Issues as Louisville & Nashville, St.
Paul, Illinois Central and Erie held steady;
Up. to the final hour, there was no decided
pressure to sell, but In the late trading such
ETZZJEZl
hammered down to the lowest prices of the
day. Tho liquidation In Northwestern was. be-
lleved to result largely from the" unfavorable
view taken by traders of the new" relations of
the Union Pacific road with St. Paul, Rock
Island and Illinois Central.
As proof of the extreme tenderness ot the
market, a rale of 5CO shares of Northwestern
early In the day caused a drop of almost 4
points. The uncovering of stop-toss orders In
the same stocks caused a further decline of
almost 3,polnts with: a net loss of 2 points,
the stock recovering on buying orders at, the
close. For the first time In over. a week .Lon
don was a buyer on balance, but even thisfact,
together with the easer of Paris sterling and
another Australian gold exportation, failed to
awaken any enthusiasm. The closing was weak;
and th day's business was under' MOO.OOO
shares. One of the disturbing features was a
report of labor troubles on the Southern Pacific
system.
Call money ruled at from 4 to 5 per cent,
most of the day's loans being made at the
higher figure. No change was made in the
money rates.
Eome of the speculative Issues In tho bond
market wre heavy, but the movements were
without Importance except In the Wabash de
bentures. The general list was Irregular and
dull. Total sales, $1,705,000. United States 2i
and 3s advanced U, and the new 4s declined
per cent on tho last call.

Resumption of Mining: Will Not Af
. ford Iron Men Mnch Relief.
CLEVELAND, Oct. 23. The Iron Trade Re
view In Us Issue this week says:
The iron trade is not clear .as to the relief t'o
bo had from the resumption of anthracite min
ing, or when it will come. It Is of no partic
ular moment that the coke, supply diverted to
tho East can now go to Its normal fields, for
there has been more coke at the ovens for
weeks than could be moved. Railroads are not
much more than replacing used-up engines with
the new ones that are constantly being added.
It does not appear on the face of things that
the Central West will get any additional loco
motives out of the readjustment, as naturally
the movement of anthracite for domestic use to
Eastern cities will be very heavy for a time,
and the Lake trade must be taken carenof.
In the week valley furnaces have had their
worst visitation of coke scarcity, practically all
the Independent furnaces being banked for sev
eral days. The United States Steel Corporation
furnaces have also suffered in the past week,
five being banked at one time. Valley furnaces
aro now from two to three months behind on
deliveries, and Bessemer steel production Is cut
down by reason of tho Insufficient supply of
Bessemer Iron.
A sale of 15,000 tons of Virginia basic pig for
delivery In tha Chicago 'district is reported.
Largo transactions in Bessemer are under ne
gotiation, and it is expected that from 250,000
to 300,000 tons will be bought by the United
States Steel Corporation, deliveries extending
from April, 1903, to the nd of the year.
Cause of Coffee Crisis.
NEW YORK, Oct. 23. Reports from the com
mittee on causes of the crisis have been pre
sented at the meeting of the International
Coffee Commission. At present, the report said,
the ones who lose are the producer and ths
consumer. The middle man Is thegalner. To
abate the crisis, it was declared necessary to
limit production and decrease the supply of
coffee until the equilibrium of supply and de
mand be established and a normal price nr
rlved at Measures with this object In vlsw
wero suggested. They suggested that exporting
countries prohibit the Exportation of the types
below No. 0, and organize a combination to de
termine yearly the maximum of coffee which
can be put on the- market of the world,. and
decide what percentage of the excess of the
crop muct bo retained, and what the destina
tion ot that percentage Is to be.

Predictions of Rain In the Northrrest
' Also. a. Supporting Factor May
Stronger Than December.
CHICAGO, Oct. 23. The wheat market lc
Liverpool showed considerable strength today,
in the face of the weakness here yesterday,
and this fact, together with predictions ot rains
in the Northwest, "resulted in higher prices here.
Strength In corn was also a supporting factor.
A report that a large volumo of wheat was
under contract at Duluth to come to Chicago
had a depressing Influence on December, which
was relatively weaker than May. Prominent
longs were active buyers of the latter month.
The market closed steady. December opened a
shade to H"jc higher, at 7272&c, and after
an early decline to 72Vic, a stronger tone pre
vailed, the market at one time touching 73c
The close was c higher, at 7272c
The feature In corn was. the announcement
that the warehouse commissioners had decided
to stand by the Inspection, and that there would
be no lowering of the standard. This fact, to
gether with the predictions for unfavorable
weather, caused a strong feeling In the" pit,
and shorts took alarm, and began -covering free
ly, and oneor two longs added to their lines.
Offerings, however, were light, and the market
held strong. December closed l&c higher, at
5151c
Oats were dull and featureless. May closed
a shade higher, wth December unchanged, at
31c.
Provisions ruled dull and steady the greater
part of the session. The close was firm, with
January pork 10c higher, lard 15c higher, and
ribs 2V5c higher.
