SPURT IN THE HOP MARKET
Demand Raises Price and Quotations
Not Likely to Recede.

There has been a squirt in the mar
ket for 1910 hops, which has put the
price back again to 19 cents, says the
Oregonian. In view of the strong de-
mand it is not likely there will be any
further recession in values
McNeff Bros Tuesday closed deals
for $50 bales, paying 1Sh to 19 cents.
The bulk of the lot was secured from
Squire Farrar, of Salem, and the re-
mainder from dealers and growers.
II. L. Hart bought three lots aggregat-
ing 200 bales from dealers.
There were orders in Portland and
Salem offices Tuesday for 500 bales OF
last years crop. The demand came
from brewers in the Middle West and
was urgent in character. Only about
700 bales are left in growers hands
and they are held firmly, as are the
spectators hops.
Older growths are also badly want
ed. A local dealer bid II ", 12h and
14A cents for a block of 412 bales OF
19O9s of different qualities.
There was keen inquiry for con-
tracts, but this department of the mar
ket is nearly dead-locked The price
generally offered is l 8 cents. 1t was
reported yesterday that T. A. Livesley
& Co. had made a contract with May
field, of Ballston, for 10000 pounds of
1915.

LITTLE RAILROAD is BUSY
Shortest Independent Line In World
Is Swamped With Traffic.

H. Hirschberg, president Of the In
dependence & Monmouth Railway
said to be the shortest Independent
railroad in the world, and also the
biggest little" railroad, is at the
oregon Hotel, reports the Portland
Oregonian. President Hirschberg is
in the city to arrange for taking care of
the additional traffic that will be Incl
dent to the reopening of the State
Normal School at Monmouth.
The Independence & Monmouth
Railway is two and one-half miles
of business. 1t connects two lines of
the Hartman system, forming cut
off to and from Independence and
Monmouth that saves many miles of
travel for passengers destined to and
from either of these points. The road
also does a considerable freight busi-
ness.
Besides operating this road, the In
dependence & Monmouth runs trains
over the Southern Pacific to Dallas
and Airlie, making connections with
Southern Pacific trains. Without this
little connecting link residents of that
part of the state would be placed to
great inconvenience. 1t is not known
if the Hartman interests have ever
tried to purchase the little road, but
Mr. Hirschberg has held on to it any
way, and retains control of the key to
a big situation.
While the trains are operated with
locomotives and are made up of the
same equipment as other railroads,
feature of the transportation is gaso-
line motor car, with a capacity of IL
passengers which makes numerous
trips every day over the Independ-
ence & Monmouth road and portion
of the Southern Pacific to Airlie.
Perhaps the next shortest independ-
ent steam road in Oregon is the
Rogue River Valley Railroad, which
runs from Medford to Jacksonville.
