The following article, which was
taken from the Financial Times, of
London,' of -Monday. October , 1902,
was. written by. ah expert correspond
ent, acknowledged as n excellent au
thority, is reproduced - verbatim for
the benefit , of th readers of the
Statesman:
Now, that the hop crop of 1902 . Is
gathered, the situation of those con
cerned In the industry may be safely
estimated,, and It can only he consid
ered aa unique.. The use of cold stor
age -naturally put brewers in a posi
tion of advantage for a certain time.
but it became apparent that a period
would arrive when a limitation of
supplies would provoke a struggle be
tween consumer and producer to de
termine the value of the produce; and
the strength of the struggle, would lie
in the staying', powers of the competi
tors. . That period has arrived, for
this year creates the position wherein
all available supplies will barely, go
round to another crop, a position much
accentuated by the low acreage under
hop cultivation. The most interesting
feature in the general situation is the
scarcity of best hops needed by re
putable brewers. Last year's abund
ant crop only furnished a moderate
supply, Of this description, for the bulk
of the crop was badly diseased and
discoloured. This year the "Goldlng"
growths are small, and a proportion
from some of the , best ' grounds are
sad'y diseased with mould. Ample
figures of comparison, showing- the
paucity of this growth, are readily ob
tainable, which consumers wfl realize
are submitted to them. Prices ruled
so low last year that the yrop was
practlcally'bought up by breWers, and
whatever old hops are In existence are
held by them.
Now that the -picking- Is .finished, it
Is realised that the crop cannot be
more t ha nx 300,000 hundredweights, and
many experts assert it ' can be only
270.000 hundredweights. Most of the
crop is of excellent brewing- quality.
though deficient ,ln . seed; this, how
ever,, is of some value to the brewer.
as he has that weight in his favour, a
pocket of hops requiring- 150 to 160
bushels this year, whereas most years
only 120 are neeessary. As a rule, by
October a considerable trade has been
done, hut this year the season's- traae
can seaircely said, to have commenced.
Merchants will ' not ' operate because
brewers tell them they will , not be
buyers for three months or more.
Growers, therefore, have to face two
alternatives to wait until consumers
Incline to bur, or put their hops on :
the market at prices attractive enough
for merchants to stock them.
.The former course may be of some
inconvenience, as the cost of produc
tion in many cases has to be defrayed
by the realization of the crop. The
average of prices now asked will pro
vide little more than that, so that the
second alternative . means o, gravely
serious loss. Should this come upon j
the heavy loss experienced generally
last' year many farmers would be com
pel led to relinquish .their farms. The
cost of production has .been w abnor
mally heavy this year owing to the
persistency of the aphis blight and the
attacks of mould. A further reduction
in the already low acreage would be a
serious matter to the consumer at 'the
present juncture, for his resources will
practically have come; touan end. .
, Another matter that is aiding the
deadlock Is the presence of various
Continental visitors, who are offering
to supply our brewers with : certain
hops at prices considerably under En
glish ; quotations. Our prices have
ruled so low of late years, and crops
have been so below the average yield.
that these gentlemen have not been
able to employ tactics familiar to many
of long experience in the trade. This
year they profess themselves capable
of befriending our brewers, and offer
to supply them with hops of certain
marks at Prices most tempting- to
consumer. Curiously enough, however,
the real hops of these brands are sale
able on the market at 2 pounds per
cwt. above the quotations made all
over our country by these "travellers'
and are. Indeed, not easily obtainable
as Germany - keeps the bulk of her
best hops, and America is also a need
ful and actual - buyer. Our brewers
