Growers Are Holding Their Crops for Higher Prices - A FEW SALES OF SMALL LOTS ARE REPORTED rMR. WINSTAN ! LEY UROE3 FARMERS TP HOLD THEIR PRODUCT FOR A TIME TET. ' ' . I , (From Sunday's Dally.) ' Tho hop market continues to be the subject f considerable attention in this city, and growers are beginnftHrto make Inquiry and ftudy the situation with, regard to the future of the market with great Interest, ; Growers general ly look for an advance In prices far above the present quotations, and they are disposed to hold on to their prod uct for" the expected advance. For this reason, it' Is found somewhat difficult for dealers to secure enough hops to fill aM the orders received, and they are waiting for. developments, v ' In some few cases sales have been made. One dealer reports the purchase of about 700 bales , since the- market opened, at from 20 to 214 cewts a pound, while others have bought small lots at even higher figures. ' Contract hops are beginning to be ta ken In by the dealers, and those grow ers having sold : their hops early on contract are about the only ones who are ore." , However, they made the bargains themselves and now must live up to their agreements. Mr. James Winstanleyi Secretary of the Oregon Hop Growers', Association, was seen, by a Statesman reporter yes terday, regarding the hop market. He said in discussing conditions, that the shortage which had been apparent earlier in the season, was a reality; that the world's crop was far short- of t the requirements for the next year, and that hops, therefore, were bound to ad vance..". . i "It growers will be firm holders." he said.- "they will get good prices within 30 to 60 days. Mr. Winstanley is himself a grower. and Says he has no fear of the future of the market, that he will realize good figures for his product, and that all growers can do so if they will not rush their hops into the market too early, THE ACTIVE MEMBERS OF THE Y.

OF -' The-Board of Trustees for the Oregon Insane Asylum met at the Capitol yes terday, and received the report of Supt. John F. Colbreath. The report was audited and allowed, and was placed on file. The statistical report shows the following interesting satistlcs: Male. ,Female, Hops In England. The Kentish Observer, an authority on hops In England, In Its issue . of September 18th, published circulars of a number of hop factors, dealing with the situation, and all of these dealers agree that there is. a shortage in the hop crop that means higher prices; One of these firms, Messrs. Wests, Jones & Co., hop factors, 16, St. Thomas's street. Borough, London, S. E., in their annual circular, under date , 15th September, states: . '; . . t- '"Picking commenced in many, in stance, during the first week of this month, and fiias now become ; general. Our reports from the plantations state that the crop is proving considerably short of j the careful estimates made during our inspection of the gardens. and growers are also greatly disap pointed with the results. The Govern ment return shows a substantial, and, to the brewer, serious reduction in the acreage, which hai now fallen to 48, 024 acres, or about the same, acreage which existed nearly a. century ago. In our last year's circular we predicted this reduction as the outcome of the low prices the ruling. The sunjmer has been & most trying one for plant ers, atlhough in a few! well favoured districts, the attack of anhis blight has been less severe thart in others. It has been the most persistent visitation since 1882. and It has needed all the energy or the growers, coupled with lavish expenditure on washing, to par ilally save the crop. Following the aphis attack, our friends were, con fronted with a period of most unset- tied weather, copious rains being ac companied with a. variable tempera, ture, which has continually fallen to i much lower point! than is conducive to the development of the bops, and some gardens are now seriously affected with mould.; While the quantity will be re duced through this cause, we anUcl pate that the healthy gardens will pro duce beautiful samples, and there Is every prospect that these bops will be fuller of -condition than has been the kcase- for soma years naat. Stocks In the Borough are extremely low: and at though there Is a considerable quantity In cold store, we do not believe that brewers hold excessive stocks. In spite of the low. prices which have prevailed for some years. This year's crop is va riously estimated to produce from 120.000 to 160.000 Old Duty.

Worse. Reports from the Pacific Coast are of favorable weather, and they ex pect to harvest as many as last year. The Immense growth of the urban pop ulation In America and the steadily In cresing, consumption ! of . beer in that country, are Important elements which must not be overlooked. Continental reports vary considerably." and It Is doubtful If they will produce as many mpa as has been predicted. Taking Into! consideration the extremely low stocks held by their home brewers, and their consequently very large require ments, it is doubtful If they will have any exceptional surplus i tor export. Therefore, with the prospect of such short supplies, wa anticipate a keen demand for all descriptions or hpps, not only for the new growtA, but for the few remaining yearlings and older descriptions at advancing prices.
