World Brewers Have Stocks to Last
Until April, 1922, According
y to XTirember" Merchant.
An Interesting; statement of hop market
and supply conditions throughout the
world, from a German viewpoint, Is made
by John Barth A Sons, of Nuremberg.
Harth resumes the publication of his an
nual estimates with this Introduction:
"Our last report, dated July, 1914, was
till written In the happy peaceful times
f a. golden age. Since then the world '
has ohanged. The treaty of Versailles
and the London ultimatum charge the
German people with a burden which ap
pears titanic the consequences of which
seem Immeasurable. Only by making the
inost of Hs resources and by the stubborn
will to work can this load toe bearable.
We are pleased to be able to state, that
there are signs everywhere, of the return
f the former cheerfulness to work which
had been paralyzed In consequence of the
war. Also the spirit of regeneration
gradually takes a larger hold on all classes.
The German people must, by peaceful com
petition, succeed In re-establishing the
esteem and the prestige It enjoyed in so
large a degree all over the world."
The report Is made up largely of a re
view of the Gormen hop trade during the
war and the years following. Of the crop
proepects for 1921. "Barth says:
"In nearly ell the hop producing -countries
the prospects for the -1021 crop are
causing uneasiness. The vermin, which
seemed more or less to have disappeared,
is again Increasing owing to the great dif
ference between day and night tempera
ture. The state of the hop fields In Ger
jnany and In Czecho-Slovakla is unequal.
England reports a deterioration; Ameri
ca, however, sends -very good crop pros
pects. The definite result of the crop de
fends still upon many contingencies, espe
cially on the weather we shall experience
during the next weeks. We will not omit
to point out that, even with a smaller
yield per hectare, the total quantity of
the world's crop will not, by any means,
be too small, because the cultivated
acreage Is more extensive than in former
years and warrants a larger quantity. By
Judging the market and the price in
autumn, we recommend to all
parties Interested, to base their actions
nly on real facts, and await the settling
of the situation, so as to avoid reverses
like those of last year.
"The stocks of fine qualities in the open
market are exhausted, apart from a few
tots held by speculators, not only in Ger
many, but also In all the other countries:
en the other hand there are still nearly
everywhere large quantities of inferior
hops which, up to now, could find no
buyers even at low prices. The breweries
f the whole world have abundant stocks
which will last on an average till
April. 1922."
Beer production for the years lf21-22,
in hectolitres, and hop consumption. In
1O0O cwts. of SO kilos each, are estimated
as follows:
Fancy Peaches Bring Premium.
Among the produce arrivals from Cali
fornia was a car of fancy peaches of the
J. H. Hale variety. They were of large
size and similar to late Crawfords. These
peaches sold at $1.75 a box. California
Elbertas are about cleaned up for the..sea
son. Oregon peaches were scarce and
firmer. ' '
Another car of Yakima cantaloupes, also
a car of California cantaloupes arrived.
Other receipts were three cars of melons,
one car of lemons and one 'car of oranges.

Snow's report frons Champaign, 111., said
"Corn In Edgar and Champaign counties
looks good. No firing of consequence and
ears look heavy. Actual yield will be dis
appointing ..because of many nubbins
wrapped in big husks. - Estimate of yields
will shrink with husking and final out
come will be below normal."
Le Count wires from Des Moines: "The
general condition of corn through thii
territory is decidedly above the average,
some barren stalks but not Important.
Quite a lot of corn is safe from frost. All
we need to make a big crop is a couple of
weeks of sunshine.
The Canadian agricultural department

Tends to Relax.
NEW YORK, Aug. 19. Trading on the
stock exchange today retained snoet ef its
recent Irregular ana protession&l aspects.
Investment shares were fairly steady, but
speculative issues aeain lacked support.
Apart from the money market, tn wnicn
perceptible relaxation was ooservea. en
velopments affecting quoted values were
unchanged. Sales amounted to 425,000
For the first time since the eariy cays
of the month call loans en the exchange
pened and renewed into the comln
t 5 Ifa per cent. in the opening market
funds were available at 5 per cent. Bank
acceptances also eased and commercial
paper was in better request.
Dealings in foreign exchange were per
functory and again influenced by London
where German- interests were reported al
heavy purchasers of American bills. Bel
gian, French and Dutch rates movea ia-
vorably to this market. More oerman
gold for account of reparations was re
ceived and deposited to the credit of Great
Britain and Belgium.
High-grade railway bonds were firm to
strong, but convertibles eased on a lighter
Inquiry. Domestic industrials were not ma
terially affected by the heavy tone 01
related stocks. Liberty bonds reacted on
another sharp decline in the 3&s, but most
foreign 'war flotations were inclined to
harden. Total sales, par value, $8,lio,00O.
Selling continued to' center around
equipment, steel, motor and shipping
shares at gross recessions of one to
three points. Specialties 01 the food, to
bacco, leather and paper varieties fell
back to the same degree and a few mis-
cellaneous issues sustained greater losses.

TRADE EXPANDING IN SOME LINES
Larger Sales Are Reported and at Higher
. Prices.
NEW YORK, Au. 19. Bradstreefs to
morrow will say:
The moderate gain noted last week tn
wholesale and jobbing trade in wearing
apparel lines for fall has been fully sus
tained and there seemed to 'be a further
accentuation of the optimistic feeling.
In some lines, notably silk good), shoes,
canned goods, raw wool and iron and steel,
the movement has progressed beyond the
point of mere feeling and has found ex
pression in larger sales at higher prices,
notable in this respect being pig iron and
scrap material and canned and dried
footle.
In no ease has the expansion assumed
big proportiona and there is no evidence
of any reduction in the caution with which
purchases are being made. In fact, the
phrase "immediate needs" Ls more fre
quently met with than any other words
descriptive of the volume of buying. How
ever, the advance of the season, the rather
better tone of crop advices, the fear or
the absolute knowledge of email . stocks
held' in distributors' hands and the loosen
ing up of credit consequent upon the less
tense condition of the money market' all
make for a rather more confident tone in
purchasing.
Weekly bank clearings were $3.S09.

Corn Liquidation in the September de
livery was the outstanding feature and
that month sold at a discount of 1 cent
per bushel under December. It is most
unusual at this time of the year, with
crop conditions so perfect, that the new
crop month should sell at a premium over
the nearby and in our opinion it very
clearly demonstrates a weak waderiying
position. Receipts are steadily increasing
while there seems- to be more doubt as to
the permanency of the export demand.
Oets Pressure was less in evidence this
morning .and as a result this market
showed a firmer tone. Cash prices were
about cent higher and the spot basis
was firmer. Shipping sales showed some
improvement, totaling 345, 00O bushels, part
to exporters. We believe It will be ad
visable to await concrete' Indications of a
better cash demand before taking a posi
tion on the long side, based on prospective
conditions. 1
Rye Trade was comparatively small
with seaboard interests again on the buy
ing side, while the selling came from the
northwest. Cash rye was unchanged at
1 cents under September for No. 2 on
track.

TJie Idaho public utilities commission
has received copies of the order of
the interstate commerce commission
granting to tlve Central Railroad
company a certificate of public con
venience and necessity to build a rail
road from Rogerson In Twin Falls
county, to Wells, Nerv., a distance of
SO miles. It f estimated that the road
Willi cost $3,500,000. The company is
capitalized for $5,000,000. It has the
backing and support of the citizens
of Twin Falla who are raising a bonus
to obtain construction of tsle railroad
The interstate commerce commis
sion grants the certificate for four
reasons. The railroad would offer
an additional outlet for freight. It
would shorten by 300 miles the route
from Idaho to San Francisco. It would
make possible advantages for the
feeding of 1,500,000 head of cattle and
sheep in the Salmon country and
would! give an outlet for ore taken
from Idaho mines in the Nevada di
trict.

ACHIEVEMENT
Achievement Is, according to Web
ster; "something accomplished by
valor, boldness or praiseworthy
exertion." The Panama Canal
Warren ite-Kitul it hie pavement
both are achievements. Each
benefits the race. Each is the re
s u 1 1 of. praiseworthy exertion.
The manufacture of pavement of
such durability nnd resiliency as
Warrenite-Bitulithic is an achieve
ment of a hierh order. Proof of
this fact Is evidenced by the ex
cellent condition of streets and
hiphways that have for many
years withstood severe tests
under all conditions.
