Slightly Below Average

: local market has continued very
quiet the past week, dealers showing
no inclination to buy at prices asked.
With concessions in prices It is un-
derstood some business could be
transacted. The coast markets are
also very quiet, business being of
small volume at last reported prices.
Growers are still holding their re-,
naming stock firmly, but II the inac.
uvity continues there is no doubt
they Will be willing to sell at the
best price obtaiDable before long.
Crop news Is practically unchanged
"A heavy wind storm in New York
stste did some damage to the vine,
'but not to any serious extent. other
'wfse there is no change reported, the
vines being absolutely free from
mold. The coast crop continues grow
ing steadily with good weather.
There are some reports of lice from
Oregon, but reliable parties claim
this is greatly overestlmated. Cables
from England report the crop maxi
ing good progress, and the outlook
sfair for an average yield. Germany
reports cold weather, but hops maxi
Ing good progress, and good crop
expected. The London and Conti-
rental markets are reported some-
what easier for 1906 hops.
