( The hop market wae quite active dur-
inr the past week but the bulk of the
: sales were made around 6c a pound.
Growers let go of their supplies when
ever approached, no matter what price
was offered
in situation at present is entirely in
the bands of the bears and they are
taking their time about covering. It
developea that a number of the lead
ing hop dealers have banded together
and are now secretly preparing statis
; tics In order to see Just what the last
hop crop was and how many bales re
main unsold In the hands of growers
or are neia oy speculators, which means
f Tactically the same in its effect upon
be market.
Thus far and the count of the hop
men ia almost complete tne indica
tions are that the crop will not go be-
?rond 90.000 bales, and some of the
eading dealers profess to believe that
It will reach somewhat under that fig
ure. The present weak etate of the market
Is due almost entirely to the action
of the big bears who persist in send
ing thousands of oirrulars to the
eastern brewers and buyers to the ef
fect that Oregon's 19C8 crop of hops
reached a total of at least 115.000
bales. This has had the effect of stop
ping a large per cent of the buying
which would have otherwise material
ised before this time.
It is now stated that only a fractional
amount of hops has been purchased to
date this season by American brewers;
the bulk of Oregon's sales thus far be
ing for foreign account. Then again, it
is stated that the shorts have covered
but few of their sales and that the total
amount of hops remaining unsold in all
hands In .the state is not sufficient at
this time to fill the sales of the shorts
who are trying their utmost to work
.the brewers into a bearish frenzy and
thus cover their sales In cash at a low
price per pound.
It Is known positively that a large
minium! ui American orewers nave oeen
following the advice of the bears this
vear and have held off their purchases
