The Markets


The hop shorts are scared and are
scrambling for cover, and as result
prices have jumped up to % cents
That they will G still higher seems
certain, and considerably higher, too.
Sales are reported of CALIFORNIA; at "a
cents and the shorts there are also
hunting cover. English reports show
prices Of 0regons to be about 35 cents,
a difference of ten cents, and that much
higher than the price here. The differ
ence is much greater than the freight,
and that is one of the things the meet
ing of the growers here are trying to
get Strengthened out. Some one other
than the grower is getting the rake-off.
The 0regonian this morning comment
ing on this says:
"The trade is keenly interested in
the movement at Salem to form hold
ing pool Should enough hops be signed
up, the pool will be factor that will
have to be reckoned with. The object
sought is to put the Oregon market on
a parity with other markets Of the
world, and it is to be hoped means
can be found to accomplish this"
Higher prices for sugar are antici-
pated. Poultry and produce remain un-
changed, and wheat is steady and quiet.
