The present week has been particular
~ busy one in the hop markets Of WASH
ington and according to those best in
formed there Is every indication that good
prices viii prevail for the entire season.
Although the market has been active
there has not been any unusual number
Of sales. While buyers are ready and
willing to take all they can get at from
- to lstx cents per pound, according to the
quality. there IL a disposition on the part
OF the growers in anticipation Of sim bet
ter prices.
Among the crowd OF buyers who have
been among the growers for the past ten
days Is Frank g. Miianti. OF Chicago. who
arrived in the city yesterday direct from
the Puyallup fields
The hop market IL stronger today than
II has been at any time since the season
opened" he said in an interview yester-
day. For the best quality OF hops there
are a number of buyers that are willing
TO pay IA to 14is cents and the indications
are that before ten days have passed
Is cents will be offered
AT The present time there fs a scarcity
or hops In all parts of the country. Early
In the season brewers aid not buy, think
ing that there being a good crop In Eng
land. following a very large crop there
last year. there would be no foreign de-
mand for the yield of the Northwest and
that prices would fall. However storms
In the hop-growlng districts OF England
and other European countries have result
ed in reducing the available supply until
already there Is a shortage and United
States buyers are now receiving a large
number OF orders from there Brewers
In the United States now see the mistake
they made in not buying earlier and are
In the market with large orders This,
with the foreign demand, has caused a re-
action to set In and where two weeks ago
growers were blue they now have the
market all their own way.
II have just been over the Washington
hop districts and have found a large num-
Der OF buyers in the field. Some are trying
to cry down the market but with those
who are In need of hops to MI orders that
must be delivered early in November the
effect will not amount to anything
THE yield In this state Is larger than
II was last year. In the Puyallup coun-
try there are probably 5000 bales and full
ly as many more in the Yakima district
In all the smaller districts including Che
halls II liz estimated there will be 1900
bales more so that the crop of this state
Will probably foot up at least $500 bales
As rule the quality IL better than Il
was year ago. owing 10 the extremel,
favorable weather conditions and with
all these Indications and facts II looks as
though hop growers would have a very
favorable season this year"

On his way down to Second avenue

Republicans with whom he was on in

Amusement and passed by with a curt
nod. Case was surprised at their cool

thorns and supposed he had done some
thing that did not please his friends. A
Democrat whom he met greeted him with
much cordiality and invited him to
luncheon. Finally he discovered what

In the meantime. g. w. Foote. of the

We mourning saints whose streaming tears
Flow DER our children,
Say not in transports Of despair
That all your hopes are fled
If, cleaving to that darling dust
In fond distress We lie,
Rise and with JOY and reverence view
A Heavenly Parent nigh.
Though, your young branches torn away,
Like withered trunks We stand
With farer verdure shall We bloom,
Touched by the Almighty's hand.
I'll give the mourner, said the Lord,
In My own house a place
No names of daughters nor of sons
Could yield SO high Il grace.
We welcome, Lord, those rising tears
Through which Thy face we see,
And bless those wounds which through on
hearts
Prepare way for Thee.
