CANT

CROP
Car Shortage Stops All Deal
ing in Hops and Cuts the
Price Materially

Aurora. Dec 3.-There are about
1900 bales of hops nearly IL car
loads. stored in different warehouses
here waiting shipment on the South
ern Pacific, and no more hops can
be bought In this section, as there
is no place to store them. All kinds
of business feels the effect of lack
of transportation to move the 1906
hop crop Last week dealers here
had orders for immediate shipment
of about 20 cars of hops, but not
Mound could be sent out, and the
orders were turned down. Promi-
nent buyers here say the car short
age embargo has had the effect of
depreciating the selling price from
one 10 two cents a pound. Not more
than one-third of the crop has been
moved from this district so far, and
the buyers in this city alone nave
had in orders for cars three months
back for shipment of this seasons
crop, but cannot get car, and there
Is no immediate prospect of relief.
Some of the dealers tried to ship
from river points. but the o. X.
& y and s. Z. have refused to take
any freight originating at river
points on the Willamette. A dealer
from here was in Portland last Fri
day taking up the car shortage with
officials of the S. p, but could get
no satisfaction or promise when the
embargo would be relieved. Sum
ming the whole situation up, the
hop business is practically at stand
still in the Aurora district. with no
immediate prospect of relief.
