hops of the 1906 crop offered to
brewers as low as cents delivered.
Advices were received by a local
dealer from a New York buyer to
the effect that he had bought 100
bales Of choice Oregon 1908 at

4 Co., New YORK fruit and COM
mission firm which early in the sea

Newberg and other sections. With

Quoted, this will net the grower about
five cents. AT the time the hops were
shipped from Oregon, the local MAJ
ket was around eight cents, says the
POI tland Oregonian.
Trading has subsidized materially in
this state since last week and the
dealers pronounce the tone Of the
market easier. Most OF the buyers
have withdrawn from the market,
temporarily at least. Purchases

The latest report Of Cattley, Grid
ley & Co., of London, follows:
Since the commencement of the
New Year very considerable trade
has been done in English hops. Grow
ers of medium quality, who during
the season held for prices out of pro-
portion to better grades, are satisfied
now to accept the situation and real
ize. AS values are now extremely
low considering market stocks the
general position has developed great
err tirmness during the past week.
Choice qualities are scarcely obtain
able, but realize quite full prices
when they do come out. Currency
ranges from sos to zoos, the bulk of
what is left being sos to Cos. The
continental markets are sufficiently
active for their home demand 70
maintain values, but little or no bust
ness is doing for England, our home
crop being still cheaper. Trade is
doing in Pacific coast hops on their
home markets, and some export bust
ness for England has been arranged
principally of the better qualities.
Very little is at present being sent
to London on consignment. and there
l., little possibility of any quantity OF
really choice hops coming except to
fill contract orders, as the demand IS
active for these from home dealers
for their local trade

ing.

the matter was left open until we had a
chance to talk 1t over. Now the young
men can return to West Point and get all

Joseph S. Reynolds, contractor and
builder, with Offices at 1916 1st street
northwest. who, by reason of the nature
of his occupation, frequently has business
with the building inspectors office in Sc
curing permits to erect houses offers
caustic criticism of the methods of the
Office.
Mr.. Reynolds makes a specific case
against the building inspectors office. In
which he says that after conforming to
all the requirements of the Office and being
subjected to unreasonable and costly de-
lay he was forced to employ an attorney
before he could get a permit to erect
a house in Bloomingdale.
Mr. Reynolds Complaint
In an interview with Star reporter to-
day Mr. Reynolds discussing what he
describes as the old-fogy methods Of the
building inspectors Office and the frequent
changes in the regulations said:
Il wanted to build two houses on lot

was told that If | took them out of the

Mr. Reynolds insists that his case is
not an isolated one. but is a condition
that all contractors have to contend with
who have business with the building in
spector's office. He suggests a remedy
that will give prompt and efficient service.
