I Tne Price of Wheat, and the Prospect.
i Last week we published tbo estimate mi '
in Liverpool hat the siipplyand deun'iJ ' "
I brcadstulls the present j'ear ill life ' ' "
equal, but late dispatches indicate ;lii: .'-a
1 yield is generally less than was ant'cii ' '
I in all ICngland, and the harvests of !i- A- -orican
Stales all protnUe less than pr-v'"--.
1 figures. As to the matter of ocean :rUi
I so far as can be Judged at present thiv t' '
at a reasonable figure, and owinj; : - '
stagnation of commerce throughout .'...
.world, we may reasonably expect i is
llcot to steor for the Pacific coast. This :j';
en into consideration with tho partial fil'.v:
of crops both in Oregon and California -Od
consequent les' jned demand for toiniij
gives us ground to hope lor a reasonnliln i
vance on present prices.
It is true that as a general thing tho" ?.
sons who have disposed of their orop In :'j?
fall have had as good prices and ra'.r
times so far as money was concerned, thj
thoso who have held for an advance. Sr'U
there is judgment to be used In this coirjc
Hon. When a great staple has reacbei fh. '
lowest price known tor a generation, i. '.
the cage the present year with both wbsi:
wool, we may safely hold for a rise; t le.i: '
hold long enough to let the market usuut- h
settled condition. Our wool nearly ail w'j:
otf at 15(W.1(5 cents per pound, and producers
Bold generally without hesitation. It I tru
that many needed the proceeds of tliijwjii;
' clip to use in carrying on harvest opemtio'i.
I but many Bold who could hare easily h! i
Jon a few weeks tos.ee how matterh wjuli
share San Francisco advices show thj;
this valley wool sells (here readily t tM )'A
cents per pound.
The idea is that when a great Mapls 1
cllties too greatly upon a sudden contingen
cy, that Is a safe time to purchase and xu un
safe time to soil. So with our wheat: Me ij
not advise any person to involve hini' it :-.
hold his wheat, but we present thH t'c
for the consideration of all.
We do not look for any great adm; '."j
wheat during the present harvest ytr.
though it is mora than possible; tht -ku-i
contingency may arUe next Sprlngatid stita-
tner to make the price good. That Is a uoj.
dillou that few persona can aftord to ikji-ma
upon, but we consider it fairly prolmblf tin:
wheat will appreciate in value fully in chii:.
per bushel within the next six weeks Tint,
too, seems to be the opinion entertained !"
many men of experience. That much ad
vance will add nearly half a million dolWr
to tho available means of Oregon farmer.
Looking ahead oneyear we tnav rehsonablv
expect that the price of wheat will be lu-r
then thau now, in which case those will J)
best who sell with the first rise, as whs cV
case last year. There is u fair show tin:
cheap bread will luduce n larger coumiui;i.
tlou, and the amount to be carried ovr an
other year may be snort of the usual quant!

Hop Culture in Oregon.
It is a pleasant thins to notice that
:ts we increase the variety of our agri
cultural products we demonstrate more
fully the fact that theelinnte and soil
of Oregon impress peculiar excellence
upon a large number of thoe products.
t N true that our field- thN year tuin
out le.-s than their usual yield, but it is
iho true that what wheat is raided thN
.ear is of the mo-t -uperior nuality;
we know that our fruits many of them
'uive -upertor excellence, and our spe-
ial list of products that -ucceed in a
remarkable degree includes other i
grains, flax and aNohop-1. Ttt relation
to this latter product Mr. Win. Wells,
-A llueita Vista, writei u5 that hop
nicking is now in full blast in this
itate, the quality excellent, and tho
ield a good average with a fair de
uiand for all the hops raised, at a fair
lrice for the producer.
Mr. WelN bends us a copy of the
'rices Current of August 2(1, contain-
'ng the following circular on " Oregon
Hop Culture,'' from the house of Hay-
jcii. Lincoln vt Co. We call especial i Lady J'at
attention to the fact that these gentle- ron? write

uxt State Fair of isO, gold, for the
best ten pounds of hops grown in Or
egon, cured and pressed, which they
hope will be largely competed for.
The circular contains many valuable

0Hr. i roua tits letters we garner tne tuea
.hat tbe disfavor with which Oregon Hops
'iavp heretofore been regarded in this mar
cot, Ih due, not so much to the growing of
the crop, a.s the unfamiliar method of hand
'ne it by thOHe KatherinK their first crop ;
and ua each grower has tniied to designate
lis growth by his brand, the general quality
of the product of the btate has thus been
underrated.
We would give the following hints to those
who niiso their first crop this seaiou :
In growing, set your poles from S to 10 feet
apart; this will ensure more sunshine to the
crop when ripening. Use only stout heavy
poles, you will thus ned less bracing for
overweighted poles. Watch carefully the
"'peuing of the crop, and gather the moment
t is. ripe, picking oiih) a tney ripen. In pick
jg keep out all stems, green leave, brown
oror-ripe Hops; keep the different grow
:1ih and ripening separate ; be carelul not to
crush by stepping upou tho-Hops near the
oxes. it so bruised, do not piu them with
clie others. Io uotalloiv tne tomperatureof
