NORTHWEST MARKET
REPORTS.

Several dealers were in the market,
but found growers very firm. A bid
of II cents on $50 bales of West Side
hops was turned down by the owner.
1t is said a number of purchases of in
ferior grades and of small lots over
contracts have been bought at Ia and
Is cents, but holders of good hops are
not disposed to sell them under IS
cents.
Apples are moving better. The
market is in good shape for fancy
stock, and as prices are reasonable the
demand is growing. Fancy apples are
quoted at slips to $3.50 and choice at
rs cents to 81. The season for Grav-
ensteins is drawing to a close and
Kings, Jonathans, Twenty Ounce,
Shows and that class are coming to the
front. The trade looks for heavy
local consumption of apples as soon as
summer fruits are off the market.
The Canadian apple crop is not going
to be the menace to Northwestern ap-
Piles on Eastern markets that was pre-
dicted few weeks ago, according to
Walter M. Dickerson, who has just re-
turned from Canada. Several weeks
ago the opinion was freely expressed
by authorities that because of the big
apple crop generally, including Can
ada, and the curtailment of Canadian
apple exports by the European war,
Canadian apples would seek an outlet
in the United States in competition
with apples grown here.
