HIGH PRICES FOR HOPS
M. n. burst Predicts That 80 or 35
Cents VIII Be Realized This
Year.

Concerning the condition OF the mop
market and crops, M. H. burst OF
Wheatland, California, gives the
following communication to the Sacra-
mento Call Union, of August 25 date !:
"The California crop will not ex-
ceed that of 1908. In Washington
and Oregon the hot dry weather con-
tinues and the crop is certain to be
considerably less than last year.
81 am not very good at guessing,
but if I wanted to be safe would put:
Bales.
California, possibly ..,.,...... 5000
Oregon, possibly ...,. .S5,OOO
Washington, possibly ......... $4,000
Total for coast t............ l75,OoO
"But this yield will depend entirely
upon the weather for the next six
weeks.
"The California crop is practically
safe, but in Oregon and Washington
the conditions are rather precarious.
"The long dry spell of ninety days
may be broken soon and be succeeded
by continuous wet spell Of weeks
Just at the most critical stage Of the
crop. Rain now cannot do any great
good to the hop crop, and if it con-
tinues for over week it may easily
damage it to an extent Of 80 to go per
cent.
''If the weather continues dry the
crop will be short but the quality will
be very fine; and there will be a
scramble among dealers and brewers
to stock up their empty warehouses
with the choice clean growth OF 1904.
This will create competition which
will cause prices to go considerably
higher. If rains in Oregon and
Washington damage the coming crop,
competition will be still more active
and prices will simply soar
"In either of these cases 80 cents is
most probable, some are even predict
ing 35 and 40 cent prices.
The Salem Statesman says: "At
last reports the growing crop was in
splendid condition. While some
growers say that the yield will be
light, there are others who aver that
it will not fall much below that of last
year, and the quality of the crop, as a
whole, will be far above the average
In fact, the indications at the present
time are that the quality will be the
best the state has realized in years.
Some sales have been made recently
and at har dsome prices, which indi-
cate that there is going to be very
strong market, especially for the Ore
gon crop, if nothing serious happens
it before the harvest is completed. AS
high as 262 cents has been offered out
right and it is rumored that even
better than that has been offered. One
option was taken a few days ago for
273 cents.
'The dealers are buying the hops in
the fields, many sales in this manner
having transpired of recent date. E.
Dupee, Of near Woodburn, has sold
his 26-acre crop to 7. A. Livesley & Co.
for $4,000. This is clear profit to him
without having the work or worry
attendant upon picking. The harvest
of Early Fuggles is now we'll adj
vanced and will oe finished in the
majority Of yards before the close of
next week. The present Indication of
the market seem to point to an ex-
ceptionally good price for choice hops
before the season becomes we'll ad-
vanced."

Bishop I. w. Joyce and. Mrs. Joyce left

little larger one for myself, as 1t contains

SMALL AID 10 MILLERs
REVISION OF EASTERN RATES ON
FLOUR FAR FROM WHAT THEY
HOPED TO OBTAIN.

All that has so far resulted from the
meetings of freight agents to consider
the discrimination against Minneapolis
flour mills, is g. change In the-at-and-east-
of-Buffalo wheat rate. This was two
tenths OF cent and the Chicago freight
men put it up, to cents. In this they
disappointed the Minneapolis millers, who
expected a scent rate.
A year ago when the discriminatory rates
threw the Minneapolis industry into such
condition that every mill closed, the wes-
tern agents and eastern trunk line men
got together in conference in Chicago.
When it was all over the -four rates stood
at "a cents for export Minneapolis to
New York, and 2615 cents domestic Min
neapolis to New York. and the at-and-
east-of Buffalo rate on wheat at cents.
It was agreed at that time by the rail-
road men that S cents was the proper
wheat figure for Buffalo, the other rates
considered.
When the millers made their recent
complaint, the export rate on flour was "a
cents, domestic 271s cents and at-and-
east-of Buffalo,, on wheat two-tenths
cents The discrimination was very
to cents puts millers in better position
than formerly, but they feel that even the
cent rate is an injustice.
Two more Washburn- Crosby mills
opened this morning, making eleven Min
neapolis mills now grinding in all, or just
half the number here.
Pillsbury B and Anchor mills will star,
tomorrow.

A Clerks Mistake.

To The Journal.
In regard to my being fined for SELL
ing vinegar that contained less than
the required amount, of acetic acid,
would like to state that I have sold
nothing but Johnson's pure cider vim
egar for the past fifteen years. I con-
slider it the best on the market, and
will continue to sell it as long as
can buy it. I did plead guilty, and
paid my fine, which was unnecessary,
as I could have gone back to Mr..
Johnson, who makes the vinegar, and
let him settle it, but found that one
Of my clerks, without authority from
me, had put gallon or SO of hard
cider that was left this spring into
the vinegar barrel, and as the barrel
was nearly empty at the time, and the
sample taken for inspection by the
food inspector was taken the same
day, the blame should be placed on
my store and not on Johnson's vim
egar. Yours truly, H. A. Child.

SUCKING COLTS DUTY FREE
Ruling by United States Treasury Depart
ment Received at Customs Office,

A ruling Of agrarian interest was re-
ceived by the local customs office to-day.
In it the moguls Of the treasury depart
ment declare a sucking colt to be nom
dutiable. The report wos on case from
Burlington, VT. An immigrant brought
over the border team which was, by
the rules, exempt from duty A sucking
colt was by the side Of the mare The
Hawkshaw of the Burlington office valued
the colt at $25 and assessed a duty Of
$50. An appeal was taken and the i'm
migrant won, the department holding that
without the mare the colt was worthless
and consequently not subject to duty.
Another ruling was that manufacturers
Of cigars must not place union labels on
the warning notice. on cigar boxes. In
some places cigar manufacturers have
labels and cautions printed on one sheet.
This has been declared illegal.

Cry for Bigger Force at PostoftIee Shows
80 City's, Prosperity.
Increasing business in Minneapolis is
nowhere more strongly reflected than in
the transactions1oN the postoffice. The re-
ceipts have shown a great gain, and with
the increase has come a need for more
help. Postmaster Hale Is planning re-
quest for more carriers and clerks. but
Is obliged to wait until the new postoffice
appropriation is available.
The delivery department will probably
have better show of adding to its num-
Der Of workers than will the clerical force.
1t Is the intention Of the government that
clerks and carriers should work but eight
hours. At present. there are few postof-
hours. At present there are few postof-
working over that time and this condi-
ton has been brought about largely by the
increase in business The appointment OF
more help in short time will be ne
cessity as the vacation season opens in a
few weeks. II .--..

Some Dainty Effects Direct from
| Paris on Exhibition at Powers

There is a most bewitching display
of imported French lingerie and neg
ligee robes in the muslin underwear
department at Powers this week. It
is the third annual exhibition and is
attracting much attention. The de-
partment is in gay attire in honor Of
the display and was thronged to-day
by crowds Of adniring women.
In the French fitting rooms there
were some very choice models and
the garments, made of finest ma
terials with beautiful embroideries,
represented the very finest lingerie
that is made.
The negligee gowns, both in short
and long effects, were most striking
both in originality Of design and
splendid workmanship. The house
gowns in sheer Swiss lawns, and other
wash materials, were profusely
trimmed with lace or embroidery and
had a most airy and dainty effect.
All the beautiful designs came di-
rect to Powers from Paris. The dis
play will be continued tomorrow.
