BEER CONSUMPTION GROWS
American People Drank 7.100 000
Barrels Last Month English
Buyers Active Here Local
Men South.
With ecoree of buyers actively at work in
California, with continued unfavorable
weather in England and Continental Europe
and with reports from the brewing; centers
indicating a heavier use of hops for the
present fiscal year than a year ago. the ten
dency In the local hop market is of a de
cidedly bullish nature.
At least three Portland buyers are now
In California. They have negotiated a few
transactions, but at present figure have
been unable to buy heavily. It is under
stood that there are few sellers at a 21
cent market. On the other hand, three or
four representatives of the British brewers
nd hopbuying agencies have been in the
-irr in the lest few days. Their presence
has added to the bull strength. A few sales
hsve been made at prices ranging from 16
to 20 cents, but the lower priced stud Is
of an inferior grade without exception.
In every quarter the market now Is re
garded as firm at 20 cents. Previous pre
dictions tat It will not became active until
It reaches 22 cents now seem to have been
well founded.
Cable advices from England yesterday
brought tidings of further rains. Wet
weather has continued In various parts of
Great Britain for more than a week now
nd the hop crop has been noticeably af
Tected. The visible production Is said to
be decreasing dally.
Reports received yesterday by James Pin
cus. of Tacoma. show that f-.e total beer
consumption in the United States last month
was 7.100.000 barrels, which is an excess of
400.000 barrels over the same month last
year. As July Is the first month of the
fiscal year, this figure is significant. It In
dicates that the beer consumption for the
1912-1913 fiscal year will be heavier than
last year and heavier than it has been In
any recent year. Consequently the demand
for hops will be greater, as the brewers last
year used up most of their reserve supplies.
This further strengthens the position of the
bulls.
So far as the Oregon market is concerned
conditlcns depend entirely upon the weather
of the next few weeks. Last week's rains
did not affect it adversely, as was at first
supposed. Growers now have succeeded
in replacing all the vines that were torn
down by the wind and water and the hops
have recovered. Unless Tnould and vermin
affect them, the Oregon hops will be bettei
because of the rain. It is probable, too,
that they hive gained in weight, which may
increase slightly the total output for the
state.
Few a!ii are being made In this terrl
. .. tk m.ru.t i mnvina in sympathy
v.it',1 that In California and elsewhere. When
business really op-r.s up here the situation,
from the growers- standpoint, will be con
siderably better than it is now.
FLOUR DROPS: JVHEAI IS FIRM,
(iralo Market Not Affected as Reeult of
Recent Kainit.
Although the price of flour, as predicted a
we?k ago. has been cut. according to an
nouncement, made by local millers yesier
dav. the grain situation remains unchanged.
Reports received by grain dealers yester
day show that the wheat fields were
scarcely affected by the rains of last week.
The aggregate production of the Northwest
mav be reduced slightly, but it will be so
.nh, to have very little effect. At
least it will not affect prices.

idly at Forest Grove.
FOREST GROVE, Or., Aug. 19. (Spe
cial.) The construction work on the
Southern Pacific cutoff into this city
is being rushed to completion. . The

be running, it is said, by. October 1.
The site for the $10,000 brick depot

depot, 100 by 200 feet in size, is to be
constructed on the corner opposite the

growth of all lines of business.
