rrrn.Mi prcm. im ox clean hops.
strw Brewer W II Hag tm Pay for Careful
fliatbertoe! mt Ciwo.
In a bulletin aent out by the New York
Hop Reporting Company. Adelphua Busch.
tha Si. Louta brewer, who la spending tha
ummer oa his aetata In Germany, la re
ported to have sent positive Instructions to
hla pore nasi a agents la .New York state
to bur no hops this season thst are not
absolutely clean-picked. The report further
sar-
"in order to stimulate the arowsra. Sir.
Busch haa authorised hla agenta to pay
3 or even t cents mora pound for
choice bona whK-h meet tha condltlnna
named. This means a big expenditure for
a brewery whose output Is reckoned la mil
lions of barrels, but Mr. frtusrh believes that
the outlar will be educational and profitable
an arourMi.
"Hired pickers la the United States, h
aays. are prone to mix leaves, stems and
weevte with the hop, and these alien Ingre
dients impart a hurtful flavor to the b-
brewed from them. Growers In England,
tierrnsnv and Austria, on the contrary, are
watchful against auch practice, and their
product commands a better price In con
sequence. If American g rowers will take
pains, aa It ta obviously to tbelr own In
terest to do. Mr. Busch telle them that so
many Ku rope an hops will not be Imported
by Amertcas big breweries, nor will
many American hope havs to grow stale la
Kngitsh warehouses whtls awaiting pur-
cbawrs.
'-With the uss of none but ths beat barley
and hope by our brewers general I v. Mr.
Hus.h expects that the consumption of beers
n Amertca will double within another tlt-
rads aad will almoef banish drunkenness by
deceasing the ronsumptloa of distilled
Iinuirs. aa well as of the drugged and
pmeonmts eubetltutea now so widely used la

la yet email aa compared with what It

to date. It is said, having been taken for
miners, but t:f chances are that tha as
porters will be in the market ta bay freely
within t neat few weeks at tha SlMt.
The farmers also up to this time hare ahowa
no general die position to sell at going prlcea.

Pit, Principal Causes Being
Visible Supply Reports.
CHICAGO Aug. 10. Extreme weakness

shorts sought to cover, forcing prices up to
a higher point than the previous close.
Word that more than 800,000 bushels had
been chartered for shipment abroad, and
that two additional cargoes had left Balti
more, together with large exports of Pacific
Slope wheat, also aided In hardening the
market, and the close was Arm. September
closed a shade up. at (1.02 to 1.02
1.02 '4. after having touched bottom at
$1 t 1.0O.
The opening weakness In corn was due
to heavy rainfalls which encouraged belief
that a good crop la assured. The close waa
steady all around, with September c
off at 83 c to 83 c. after having touched
02c. Prices In the cash corn market were
!c lower. No. 2 sold at 64j05c.
Oats exhibited none of the fllghtlness of
the other grains and price variations kept
within c. unmarked by any closing rally.
The cash market fell off c and Spring sales
were large. The close was firm, with Sep
tember off. at 88. while December
closed c down, at 38ti38c
Provisions were strong. Pork closed from
5c down to loc up and early products gslned
from S to 15c. The close was firm. Final
figure, for the September products were:
Pork. $21.33. 5c off; Igrd, 111.9214. 7c
