21 WEDNESDAY, JUNE 17, 1914. FOREIGN CROP KEY Course of Oregon Hop Market . Will Depend on Europe. AMERICAN PROSPECTS GOOD Vines in England and Germany Made Good Start but Insect Pests Threaten Damage Small Carry-over Surplus. . The position of the Oregon hop market in the coming season will depend almost en tirely on crop developments In Europe. There Is no great surplus of stocks this year and a shortage In the world's supply could easily occur if the crops In any of the great producing countries should come down light. Up to ths present time everything favors a fairly large production. The 191 teason started with a carry over of some 800,000 cwt. of hops of the 1812 crop. It was plain that this large qusntlty would sooner or later become a burdensome load on the market and such proved to bo the case, for after the active buying season was over prices sagged until they touched the present low level. The new season will start out with bet ter promise, for against a 300.000 cwt. carry over last year the next market will open with a surplus of only about 80.000 cwt, a quantity that Is not likely to have an ad verse effect on the world's market. It is too early to estimate the coming world's crop, but If the yields come down as now appears probable, the supply will Just about balance the world's requirements and that will mean a steady market at about the current rates. Should the crops in any of the Important growing sections be deficient, it will open the way for a con siderable advance In prices. Crop conditions In Oregon up to this time have favored an outturn about equal to last year's and the same applies to Wash ington conditions.. The California Srop will be smaller, owing to the poor stats of many Sonoma yards. New Tork may have some thing over Us average yield. The total American production will be about the same as In 1913. In the English yards ths hops started out well but encountered an early attack of fly and lice and for two weeks ths English growers have been spraying their vines. The latest cables describe the visitation as con tinuous. Similar conditions prevail In the Conti nental districts. Vermin are reported in France. Belgium. Alsace. Hallertau, Saaz. Auscha. Dauba and the several Austrian dis tricts. Mall advices are not as favorable s they were earlier, as the growth hss been checked by the unfavorable climatic conditions. . ... The markets in all quarters are inactive. The British Board of Agriculture reports as regards the borough market that during the past month the demand for English hops has beeen rather more active, but prices paid to growers recently have not exceeded tp t 10s per cwt. There Is. however, an absence of selling pressure on the market and several country holders, being aware of the serious reduction of available stocks, are declining bids. The London trade In American hops Is slow. The beer business m Great Britain, aa disclosed by the annual brewing return, re cently published, shows production for the year ended September SO. 1913, of 87.078.780 barrels, an increase of 979,833 over the out put of the preceding year. The quantity of hops consumed during the last year was 061.709 cwts.. er 1.696 pounds per barrel, as against 849.507 cwts., 1.705 pounds per baiv rel, during the preceding year MARKET FOB NEW WHEAT IS WEAK Prices Art Depressed by Declines In East and In Europe.
