HOPS ARE IN DANGER
English Yards Are in Sen

FIGHTING TO SAVE CROP

gon Crop Doing: Well.
Hop growers report weather conditions at
the present time as Ideal for the crowing
crop. Lice have appeared In a good many
yards, and spraying Is being dona Is soma
Places, but th attack la not causing appre
hension. The general estimate of the 1915
Oregon yield Is about 140.000 bales. Crop
reports from Washington and California art
also favorable.
It is almost certain now that the United
States will turn out a big crop and that the
consumption In this country will be some
what less than heretofore. The Question
will be the disposition of the surplus abroad.
From all accounts received, England will
produce a much smaller crop than last year
and probably smaller than the avreage for
the past decade. In 1914. England grew
607,238 hundredweight, yet Imported from
this country upwards of 100,000 bales. Ths
average annual English production for 10
years has been 376. COO bales, so with a crop
of this size or less, there should be an
English market for the American surplus.
The English crop Is In a bad way this year
with a most severe vermin attack. Below
are given reports from various sections,
printed in the Kentish Observer of June 24.
Cables received by local dealers In the past
week said there had been no improvement.
The Observer reports follow:
Ash-Xcxt-Sandwlch Just In time were
those grov-ers who washed last week. The
development was more rapid than usual, and
the attack severe. The heads were simply
swarmed with 'breeding lice." So severe
was the attack that some growers are wash
ing the second time. There are swarms of
fresh fly" again, so the "soap" bill will
mean another one fur the hopgapwer to pay
on top of the "peace prices" In Increase,
while the only tiling that appears to have
decreased Is the quality. Twenty-five years
ago we used 5 pounds per cent, today 13
pounds, with worse results.
Bekesbourne and Ltttlebourne Since
our first report a fortnight ago, the hop
plants in these parishes have made on the
whole very fair progress, and the bine is
growing evenly and showing much vigor.
Bethersden Washing continues, but fresh
accretions of fly make the work almost
useless. Warmer nights are much to be de
sired. Frosts were reported on Saturday
and Sunday nights.
Biddenden (Weald.) The cold east winds
have made the bine very yellow and more
or less stopped tha growth. Vermin Is very
troublesome, and the washer must keep
going if we are to grow any hops. The
prospect is for a short crop.
Chilham. The cold winds of the last
week have retarded the growth of the hops
and very few are at the top of tha strings
yet. The fly is still on tha Increase and
washing is in full swing everywhere. Rain
and warmer weather are much needed if
the hops are to improve.
Dunkirk. The bine is very even in this
parish. Washing has commenced as there
is a lot of lice. Cultivation Is very good.
St. Stephen's (Canterbury). The change
less east wind, together with entire absence
of rain we have bad none in measurable
quantity since May 19 and almost nightly
frosts have decidedly checked the plant,
Goudhurst District (Weald). The cold
nights, with frosty mornings, have given
the bine a yellowish hue and retarded de
velopment. On the whole it is not so for
ward as usual, and the vermin attack gets
worse in spite of repeated washing. We
look like having a very expensive season n
producing only a moderate crop of hops.
Lower Hardres. The cold northeast
winds ard frosty nights are all against the
hop plants. Washing has destroyed a great
portion of the vermin, but there are relays.
The bine is very slack and yellow.
Maidstone District. Bine doing but little,
the temperature being too low, especially
during the nights. There have been slight
frosts on several mornings since last Tues
day. The vermin are very troublesome, and
washing will have to be kept going con
tinuously. -
Medway Valley. Washing continues every
where, and many growers are going over
their plants a second time. Fly is very per
sistent and the deposits are thick. The ad
verse winds are encouraging the attack, and
coupled with the- cold nights are keeping
the bine in a backward state. Cultivation
Is very good this season.
Taldlng. There Is a very heavy attack of
aphis, and some grounds have already been
washed twice. The bine grows, but owing
to the cold nights and the cold east wind
it is not of a good color. Warm nights
and heavy showers are wanted. .
Northlam The bine is smothered with
vermin. Washing in full swing at great
expense. Temperature of the last two days
and nights, however, more favorable for
growth. After last year's good crop, we are
likely to have a short one this.
NEW W1EEAT SAMPLES GRADE 1VKIX
First Arrivals Show So Deterioration in
Quality.
Another week has passed without the sale
of a single bushel of wheat at the Mer
chants Exchange. In fact, the only trans
action of the week, which was put through
yesterday, was the sale of 100 tons of Au
gust bran at $24.
There is a littlo local milling Interest in
bluestem and that is all. Bluestem bids were
raised 2 cents yesterday, but sellers held
their Ideas too hgh.
Samples of new wheat are coming in, and
for the most part they make a very good
appearance, notwithstanding the numerous
reports of loss of quality, occasioned by
unfavorable weather.
India wheat shipments in the past week
were 1,760.000 bushels, compared with
8.1S4.000 bushels last week and 1,264,000
bushels a year ago.
Exports from Portland In the past week
were 19,000 barrels of flour.
Wheat receipts for tha week were 137.S0O
bushels, compared with 114,000 bushels in
the same week last year. For the current
season to date receipts have been 2:12.700
bushels against 124.S00 bushels in the same
period last year.
Terminal receipts, in cars, were reported
by the Merchants' Exchange as follows:

SHALL STOCK OF COFFEE IX ElUOFE
The l'resent Supply Is Smallest, for Many
Year.
The stock of coffee In Europe on June 1
was the smallest for many years at th
rame date It amounted to 4.471, .050 bags,
against 8.102,000 In 1914. 6.600.000 In 1913,
6,463.000 m 1912, and 7.330.000 In 1911.
About four-fifths of the quantity in all
these years was Brazil coffee, reports Con
sul F. W. Mahln. of Amsterdam.
However, It Is apparent from the sta
tistics that the stock waa depleted between
July and the end of December. 1914. The
stock on January 1 In all the years named,
including this year, was practically the same
as on June 1. whereas the arrivals of coffee
In Europe during the first five months of
this year have totaled somewhat more than
the average for the corresponding period of
tbs other years mentioned. The arrivals
have teen normal this year, and so also
have been tha deliveries, which have ben
about the same as the average of the other
years in question. The total of the deliveries
this year has been somewhat less than the
total of the arrivals: therefor tha slock
on hand tends to Increase.
Nearly fflll tha total of the arrivals In
Europe have come to tha Netherlands this
year, contrary to previous years, when the
proportion was about one-seventh.
GOOD WEEK IX LOCAL mil TRADE

weather conditions and tha demand has
subsided.
Oranges are quoted 23 cents higher. Ths
price may remain stationary now for tha
remainder of the season, although medium

TLB IX Ql'AHTITY.
Cneven Lots of Iloga Feature Ran of
Week Tendency 'of Sheep Mar
ket I Downward.
There was no trading of Importance at
the Stockyards yesterday. Only one car.
consisting of wo hogs and tor, calves, was
received. It wss sent In by C E. Lucke
from Canby. Nine mixed head of cattle,
averaging 301 pounos, carried over from Fri
day, were sold at 14.
Local market conditions are summarised
br ttie Livestock Heporlor as follows:
"None of th Pacific Coast packers are
calling for cattle In large amounts and
when they buy they favor well-finished
animals. As i usually the ease when tho
market drops, cows have held up better
than steers, but cows to find ready sale
must carry good flesh. The poor dairy cow
win not move much quicker than th poor
steer. The demand la vers light, and noth
ing but strictly fat cattle can expect to find
ready sa.e even at present reduced prices.
Desplto frequent warnings that th. e.tn.
demand I weak, th receipts hav been
fairly heavy and packers, have not been sl.te
to work off their heavy supplies. Very
light runs of choice stuff In the catti divi
sion art advised for a few days.
The usual midweek run of uneven lots
of hogs has occurred the last two days.
with me exception mat a x.w good Idaho
hogs wars ottered todsy. Th light sturf
was In very heavy supply, b.lng mixed In
with most of the consignments, and had to
be cut out and sold at reduced prices. It
Is hard to move these pig and both packers
and Milesmeti would prefer not to have
them offered. The demand In the swine
division is very light for tb pm.nt and
light runs ar advised for th next tw
dsys.
Buyer have not been clamoring for
sheep to kill, and the meager supply as
taken car of th demand and prtce. have
been somewhat lowered. The tendency of
the sheep market Is bearish, but the pries
quoted msy b expected to hold for the
next few days, especially If th light runs
continue."
