HOP DEAIiERS "WORK" CON
SUMERS AND PRODUCERS.
Brewers Are Sleeping While Specu
lators Are Absorbing the Crop
at IiOv Prices.
ALAMEDA. Cal., Nov. 20. (To the Edi
tor.) Referring to the "very lifeless" con
dition of the Oregon hop market the follow
ing letter from one in touch with dealers
in the East, and West too. Is suggestive
reading. My correspondent writesr "It is no
trouble to get right up prime Oregons here
for Hi&lTc but no one wants them. If
you will take a- hint from me turn bear. Do
what you can to get good prime hops down
to 0 10c." Then the dealers will come in
and the market will go up because the
shorts will become bulls. You don't have, to
sfl, and can sell when the reaction comes.
Coast hops will go there, and the sooner the
better, but they will be 2023c some time
before September. The shorts can make al
most any terms of delivery they like owing
to the oversales of last year, thus stringing
along deliveries and keeping the market
down. When I see hops selling at S$ 10c on
the v'oast I will know that we will soon
have active business."
There is more than poetry for the grower
In these statements. Consumers must have
our hops, but the "middlemen in between"
have us, so they say. on the hip and we are
only to get bare cost of production, with
possibly a little bit of interest on our capi
tal tied up.
It looks like the growers were alone in
this game in which growers get "crow" and
the dealers get the "turkey, but If we con
sider a moment we will see that dealers
are playLng a double game. Thy have "tur
key" alt both the buying and the selling end.
The -consumers (brewers- do not realize it
but- they also are being worked to line the
purses of the dealers.
These shrewd men say to the brewer:
"You are fairly well stocked. Don't buy
any hops yet. We have plenty contracted
to meet any emergency demand which we
bought at A410c on contract. We will turn
over as many hops as you need to run you
until next April or May at low prices. Hops
are sure to come down, if no one buys. The
Oregon growers are going in for prohibition
We can read, him a lesson. We will stay out
of the market until hops go to 10c or lower;
turn we can Buy.'
This is sweet music to the brewers, who
care little for anything but dividends, and
they say "All richt: we won't buy." So the
dealers are working both ends. They are
hearing the growers end and forcing prices
noPn until they can buy at about the cost
of production. At the same time they are
"working" the brewers and keeping them
from buying. In the meantime dealers are
slowly and cautiously absorbing the stocks
of good hops as fast as growers will sell
at low prices. Hops cannot go up as long
as growers sell. When selling stops from
whatever cause prices will rise, providing
dealers have the bulk of the hops. But by
and by when brewers come into the mar
ket to purchase their year's supply they will
find that "stocks are very short and the
foreign demand very heavy," with prtcoi
much higher than the brewers expected to
pay.
In short the consumer will have to pay
dealers a very heavy toll for their lack of
enterprise in not buying earlier.
If brewers are wise they will stop and
think over this proposition. If they do not
get in soon and buy their requirements tney
will have to pay 2oc to 3oc per pound yet
before midsummer is reached..
How is it rumor lias one man buying up
hops until he has :;r,000 bales, if there is
not truth in the suggestions offered?
Will any sane business man of experience
buy il.'.uno bales of hops in the mere hope
of making say 1 cent per pound on his pur
chases? The risk is too great, Such a spec
ulator must see -fic to 10c per pound possible
profit or he would not risk his money In the
game. Where will the profit come from? I
should Fay 3&c per pound from the grower
and a like sum from the brewers.
This Is only my private opinion. The right
policy Is either to sell out at once and get
out or else hold our hops out of the market
until consumers do wake up and come into
the market early. If growers need money
why don't they co-operate and make a big
export shipment Y Now is an ideal time.
Fortunately for the dealers I am out of the
running this season on the shipping propo
sition, owing to the unfortunate delays and
damage of l.'iOO or more bales of the last
shipment to Iondon. I have been unable
even to render account salis to ' consignors.
The responsibility lies between the carriers
and the insurance companies. These -last
show a great disposition to "welch." It will
take a long time to get any adequate settle
ment. In the meantime, as a friend in Oregon
writes me, I am "censured and accused of
all sorts of things," owing to the way the
shipment has turned out. All I can do is to
"take my medicine" and lie low until the
time comes when I can render a full state
ment covering everything so that the exact
truth can be had by any one. who cares to
know the truth. To those who cannot give
me the necessary time I can refer them to
our mutual friend, who went over with me
to London, J. N. Hoffman, of Forest Grove.
But why is it no one else can take hold and
ship 10.000 or 20.000 bales out of Oregon?
If 20 or 30 growers would go In together
they could make a success of this. It would
be quite easy to get some reputable dealer
to advance say 7-" per cent of the value of
tne hops when shipped. Growers could carry
the 25 per cent risk themselves, and be
mere "creatures of circumstances" "bond
slaves" to the dealers.
I have done my share to try to help the
market, and it ha cost me more In propor-.
tion than anyone else has had to pay. pome
times I think we would be more sensible
and reap more "ready mohey if we would
"line up with the bears" and come In with
them on some of the turkey.

Treasury Offering at 30 Cents Per Share
' We announce the opening of the subscription books of the Great Bend Consolidated Mining Com
pany, which has been incorporated with a capitalization of 1,250,000 shares, of the par value of $1.00
each, fully paid and non-assessable. Four hundred thousand shares are in the treasury. Subscription
price for treasury shares is 30 cents. .
Within a radius of three-quarters of. a mile, at the northern end of the Goldfield mining distrct, there
have been opened up, within the past ninety days, half a dozen great ore bodies, two of which have
enhanced the value of the stocks of the companies operating them from 300 per cent to 1000 per cent.
These are the Goldfield Great Bend Mining Company and the Goldfield Daisy Mining Company. With
in the past ninety days Great Bend shares have risen in value from 40 cents to around $1.50, and Daisy
has advanced from 25 cents to around $3.00 per share.
'
Adjoining the Great Bend is situated the ground of the Great Bend Consolidated Mining Company,
which owns five claims, or in the neighborhood of 100 acres. This ground up to recently was known as
the Knickerbocker-Griswold 'group, having been originally located by two pioneers of the Goldfield min
ting district. As yet, the ground is undeveloped. It is only a prospect. But it-is situated so close to
the Great Bend, and after an exhaustive examination by competent mining engineers, has been pro
nounced so likely a producer of 4 'high-grade," that its value as a prospect is great, and the opportunities
for investors who purchase treasury stock at this time are enormous.
Mr. John D. Campbell, the noted consulting engineer, declares that, in his opinion, a vein system
parallel to that of the Great Bend and Daisy will be opened up on Great Bend Consolidated ground
within a short period. Boulders of quartz, indicating the presence of large ore bodies, are in evidence
on all five claims of the Great Bend Consolidated, and it appears only a matter of a short period of devel-.
opment work to open up a great mine. The ground of the Great Bend Consolidated occupies the same
relative position to the Great Bend and to the Daisy as does the Silver Pick of Goldfield to the Jumbo
and Mohawk. - ,
Hoisting apparatus has been ordered by telegraph, and half a dozen miners have been put to work
to thoroughly prospect the ground of the Great Bend Consolidated Mining Company. Within terv days
the work of sinking the main shaft will have commenced, and within thirty days we expect to have some
sensational news for subscribers to the treasury stock.
The officers of the company are: President, Governor Jolm Sparks, of Nevada; Vice-President.
John D. Campbell, Mine Operator and Consulting Engineer; Treasurer, L. M. Sullivan, President of the
Sullivan Trust Company; Secretary, Peter Grant, Treasurer of the Sullivan Trust Companyj Counsel,
George D. yne, Attorney-at-Law. " .
In view of the oversubscription of our two other recent Goldfield promotions, namely, the Lou Dillon
Goldfield Mining Company promoted at 30 cents a share, now listed and selling around IS cents, and the
Silver Pick Extension Mining Company, promoted at 30 cents a share, and now, on the eve of listing, sell
ing on the curb in Goldfield and San Franeisco around 37 cents, it will be the part of wisdom for our
friends to immediately telegraph their reservations. Otherwise, it is more than likely that they will be
disappointed, and be unable to obtain an allotment. v

will be plentifully supplied with good acts.
