From Bull Side Growers Are No Longer Advised to Keep In Holding. . . " Slnr-a It waa flrat announced by rumor that Messrs, rincus Son of Tacom rind practically withdrawn from th butl aid of the hoc market becaua tha firm has dlsjoevj of Ua holdings, there ha been a void of hop business ana even the newspapers that were ao bull ish and endeavored to hold growers m- ' tart hav displayed ltttla Interest In tha market. '. - ' No dptilat bat been made by Messrs. -leaao 1'lnena Bona regarding tha re jxirt of their withdrawal, and the trade therefore considers tha report truth. Growers of hope are becoming rathur ur n red of the outlook atid the lack of hull no . which had fn aerved to them almoat dully by newspapers allied wllu the bull vide. It la doubtful to- -day If more than 20 eenta a pound could ie obtained for hope or me pam year a growth, . Want Aorta? Bcdoced Again. Whll there are renorta of aomo In crease In hop acreage at vaiioua Taclflc coast points, there la a constant howl frtmi varloua Interosta to pull down the rroductlon because of unprofitable r.rlcea. Thn latest Of theaa howls Is from E. Clement Horat, a prominent srrower and dealer. In a-letter irora London he tella the Sarramento Bee: . , "The brewers throughout all of Eng land. Scotland. Ireland and Wales are all In favor of a tariff and are en-oper-, minor with the hoD arowers end all other Industries that want a tariff, ao when the jnetlon of a high tarirr on hops tomes up there will be no one In Inter est to oppoae It. - There la ev ery procpect that a duty on American hops ehlpped Into Kngland will be a heavy one, and that will lose to the American grower, the only foreign mar ket Auifrlca has ever had for the Amer I. sn mirplua. Tha result will ba that the Arnrlcan hop acreage must be fur ther reduced from lis already low mark. bs the present American acreage Is more thim sufficient for the American bop ci'nsiin'jption." - The. lire says that Mr. Ilorat'a let ter waa shown to ,F. Flint, a well .known grower, who said that the advice J not onlv good, hnt that It la timely, l'.ecauae of tho Increase In the prloe of hops this year growers all over tie const are preparing to increase their acreage. Even the Horst company, It self. Flint asserted. Is preparing to set out, about 700 additional acres of hops this year, notwithstanding the fact that they are advising other growers to cur tail the ' aoreuge. America produces .more hops than are needed for home 'consumption, and with a high duty 1 1 laced on hops In England, unless the acreage la curtailed, a surplua of hops will lie produced here. ; CELERY DEMAND HERE TAKES MANY CARLOADS A car of celery was unloaded this morning from the south and relieved the famine that had existed in c the wholesale trade. . ' . Demand for celery has been unusu ally brisk, and this has caused the Im portatlon of more cars by. thla terrl tory than ever before.' . . ' Cauliflower Is the only vegetable that it not showing much life, and the trade lias been filled up for some time. Most sales around 11.65 aerate. . Cuban tomatoes are selling quite well around $3.60 for best quality, but there is a likelihood that prices will be cut a fraction next week, OATH Spot deltvrry. new, producers' prii'e -iracs fwo. w ,, gray, 1.10 1 31. . , ... . , CORN Whole, IS8; cracked.
