HOPS.
PROSPECT OF GOOD BUSINESS. Hop-growers in the Nelson district will be interested in a reference to the hop trade in the annual report of the High Commissioner. The report says “ the year 1912 opened with good trade in hops, and with prices steadily advancing. The exceptional summer experienced last year, while restricting the yield of the English crop had a very beneficial effect on the quality. There has, therefore, been a keen demand amongst brewers to secure parcels, and stocks in growers’ hands have been reduced to a very small compass. At the close of the official year English hops were selling at £l3 per cwt., Californian fetching about £l2, or about 60 per cent above the rates ruling twelve months previously. -There is every prospect of good business at high prices should New Zealand growers decide to make shipments to the English market during the present season.
