English Hop Market.

LONDON, E., March 8. 1894.
English-Since our last report of the
l4th of February, the trade in English
hops has been of retail character. The
smallness OF stocks keeps prices steady.
Sales.--future is fair supply OF these
on offer, and We think that as soon as
buyers realize the impossibility OF getting
really choice, they will take hold Of the
best obtainable. Prices asked range from
III to 90 cents.
Pacitics-They are still offered freely,
and continue to change hands at low
prices. Some consignees are too anxious
to sell at almost any price, and are thus
helping to keep up the disastrous effects
OF the severe break, in prices so recklessly
made in December, and which has been
the subject OF so much comment in the
Borough-merchants who had stocked q,
the previous higher prices, having suf.
fered much by the unexpected and need
less drop. We had hoped to have seen
the end Of this down grade movement
before this and still hope for an improve
ment in the near future. Some parcels OF
choice Pacifics are being held firmly for
prices which are quite outside of buyers
ideas. Medium to low are very irregular.
Quotations-Kents, % to 80 cents; Sus-
sex, 81 to 20 cents; States, III to "a
cents; Pacitics, Is TO % cents.

WANTED TO SEE HOME AND MOTHER.
A Montana Reminiscence ana Ser
mon-How n Hatfui of Money
Was Raised for an Invalid.


One snowy Sunday up in the wilds Of
Montana, during the construction OF the
Northern Pacific railroad, we decided to
take up.a collection for a poor fellow who
was sick with consumption and wanted
to go back to home and mother to die.
We sent runners out through the camp
and soon a hundred or more hardy from
tiersmen were gathered in the mess tent,
ready for any kind Of deal from prize
fight to funeral, briefly stated to the
boys the object Of the meeting and in less
than five minutes over $500 in hard coin
was on the table and the problem Of that
sick boy getting home to his mother was
solved, and he was happy.
The business being ever one Of the boys
suggested that We sing some sacred songs.
1t was pretty tough singing. but it was
powerful and could be heard long dis
lance. After the singing called on an
old man to pray. He did so and made
beautiful prayer in his own homely Ian
guage and straight from the heart. We
then sang Nearer My God to Thee" As
we finished, an old weather. beaten man
arose and said: boys, I've been dead

he spent.

For some days past, says the Oreoonian,
rumor has been steadily gaining ground
that the Northwest will soon be the scene
Of big railroad deal. Like all such
rumors, it has been impossible to trace II
to any authority, but its very probability
has not only interested railroad men but
has given them confidence to believe the
change will be made, The deal II con-
summated, will materially change the
complex on Of the railroad situation on
the North Pacific coast. The rumor,
and nothing more can be claimed for
it, lie that the Great Northern will soon
take possession OF the Oregon Railway &
Navigation. 1t has been reported that the
Union Pacific has hypothecated its Oregon
Railway & Navigation holdings to Rus
sell Sage for ready cash. Mr.. Sage is
president OF the Iowa Central, OF which
f. Mcneil, formerly general, manager OF
the Pacific division OF the Union Pacific,
is general manager. A few days ago Mr..
Mcneil was in the city, accompanied by
Samuel Hill, the son-in-law Of the Great
Northern mapnate, and vlce-president oil
that road. They were in and out fire..
quently and appeared to devote most Of
their attention to the Union Pacific lines
between here and Spokane, inspecting
the various branches and familiarizing
themselves with the business and posi-.
bilities OF the Columbia-river route. II
the deal is made, it will therefore give the
Great Northern an entrance to this city
by the way OF Spokane, while the Union
Pacific will come in via Huntington, as
at present. 1t will also necessitate q
thorough change in the Oregon Railway
& Navigation. and will give Portland
the general offices OF the line.
