The Markets


There is every indication that the
price Of Oregon hops is far too low and
a reaction is in sight. English orders
that have been conspicuous by their
Absence" are beginning to come in.
With hops selling here at 25 cents while
in Germany they are bringing so cents,
is sufficient proof that there is large
sized "nigger" in the hop business
woodpile.
The English dealers no doubt thought
they could break the coast market by
staying out of it, but the scheme has
fallen flat. There is no reason, with
the prices prevailing in Germany, that
prices here should not go to 40 cents
and even higher. The Kentish Observ-
er, an English paper published in the
English hop district says "the result of
the hop-picking so far have been dis
appointing, and to an extent even the
most pessimistic had never dreamed
Of" Hops will advance sharply.
Wheat and other products show no
changes.

smoking public just as much in quan.
tity and quality as is provided by the
famous lOc Burley tObaccos.
In addition to this, they argue that
their method Of packing Mascot in
moisture-proof pouches is an ideal
method, both in point Of convenience
and ability to retain the original
freshness Of the tobacco. To quote
them; "MascOtt is really a 1Oc propo.
sition at a SC expenditure"
To support these arguments and to
induce the smokers Of this city to find
out for themselves that their claims
are justified the makers Of Mascot
have arranged with local dealers to
give free, for few days only, hand.
some "Mascot Dog" scarf pin to each
purchaser of a SC pouch of Mascot.
These scarf pins are sure to be in

The miserably tragic death of "Big
Tim" Sullivan, congressman and idol
of the East Side, whose body lay in
New York morgue for 13 days without
Identification, has the vaudeville people
guessing. "Big Tim" was the Sulli
van of Sullivan 6 Considine, owners of
twenty-eight of the country's finest
vaudeville theatres, from Cincinnati
west to the coast. When Sullivan s af.
fairs, long before his death, were placed
in the hands Of a "commisiOn, it is
understood that John Considine offered
to take over the holdings of his partner
but the commissioners refused to make
the deal. Now that Sullivan has passed
away it is not known what disposition
will be made of his stock, nor what ef-
feet his demise will have on the Sulli-
van & Considine circuit. Harry H.
Tammen and Fred G. Bonfile, of Den.
yer and Kansas City, are other stock
holders in the vaudeville business.
