GENERAL MARKET REVIEW
OF the PAST week
Market on Hay Very Dull-Potatocs
are Standardization for
Rise in Hops.

The farmer who held his hay for a
a big price in the spring has been
deprived of several dollars per ton.
The market is duller now than ever,
and the indications are that 1t will
become no better. The best price
paid for good alfalfa hay is only
IS, while timothy brings but SO.
Good wheat hay is selling at 80, and
clover is quoted at 81.
Potatoes remain quite Arm, rang
ing in price from $12 to SIG. The
AL potato, however, will command
the SIC limit. The commission men
are shipping out great stock Of
potatoes this week.
The Indications are that hops will
soon be forced up in price again.
1t Is a case or more hops to manu-
facture beer to meet the consump-
ton of beer for 1905. The agricul-
tural department has furnished sta
tistics showing that for the year end
Ing July LIST. 1904, there was con-
sumed by brewers of the United
States 35,565,534 pounds of hops,
or 219.8OS bales. These are figures
compiled by the sworn statements
OF brewers showing the articles con-
sumed by them. From the treasury
department 1t is learned that the
quantity of beer manufactured was
q little more than 42,2OS,OOO bar
rels. This shows consumption Of
.S2 pounds Of hops per barrel of beer.
The Oregonian say that II there were
100000 barrels of beer brewed in
the United States in 1904, there will
be 50,O0O.000 brewed in 1905. The
crop of 1904 amounted to 100000
bales Of hops; there were exported
$4,000 bales and imported $4,000
leaving visible supply Of
$4,000 bales. To person who will
study these facts and figures it must
appear that the brewers will be
greatly in need of hops before the
crop Of this year comes on the mar
ket,

nOFfAT GETS GORE CANON

Colorado people will generally re-
joice at the decision of Judge Hallet
of the United States district court
who on Tuesday denied the temporary
injunction sought by the federal gov
ernment to prevent David Moffat and
associates from building the Moffat
road through Gore canon.
The victory for Mr.. Moffat is not
entirely personal. 1t is triumph
for the entire state. 1t says that def
nitely planned projects which cannot
help but prove of incalculable value
to the state shall not be hindered, re-
tarded or made altogether impossible
that perhaps some day some one may
want to put through another scheme
with which the former may interfere.
The trouble all arose over the at.
tempt of the United States reclama
tion service to block Mr.. Moffat's en-
trance to Gore canon because as the
engineers said this was an ideal site
for a gigantic reservoir and some day
they might want to store some water
here for the benefit of whom they
could not really tell. 1t is evident to
all who have given the matter any
thought that Colorado people were not
to be the benefciaries but that the
waters arising in this state were to
be stored to water lands in Arizona
and California-lands which it appears
have not yet been selected and of
which the reclamation officers know
little or nothing.
Personally the editor of this paper
is more interested in irrigation than
in any other subject believing it to be
the great essential to the development
and prosperity of this western country.
At Portland we listened with but
scant sympathy to the assaults made
upon the reclamation service and still
believe AZ indicated elsewhere that
there is great deal more good than
harm in the reclamation act, but we
have never favored tying up great,
helpful project which promises the
development of an immense empire
because of the halfbaked proposition
Of the reclamation engineers who
think perhaps they might desire to
utilize this great canon for the irriga,
tlou of some arid lands thousand
miles away.
Everybody stand aside please. and
allow Mr.. Moftat to pass.
