NORTHWEST MARKET
REPORTS.

1tiftiHk liiiiro arc icchcN AcA IA eAC
Western states when the buying sea
son opens. Everybody in the trade is
bullish, the growers because they are
practically certain to get very high
prices, and the buyers because they
cannot be otherwise.
The contracting movement is begin
ming to get little Roadway in the
West. 1t would be booming were |
there enough sellers. Buyers stand /
ready to contract for wool anywhere |
in Eastern Oregon, but they are not |
able to make any impression yet on
the growers, and may not be able to do
much in this line before shearing time,
unless they offer a good deal more
than they are talking now. Dealers
would be glad to contract for good
medium clips at % cents, such clips as
they bought last year at II to Is
cents, but sheepmen turn deaf ear to
such proposals. While values are 60
ing to be high this year it would be
folly to predict any definite prices.
The hop market is plainly moving
in an upward direction, under the in
fiuence of strong export demand and
with stocks at low ebb. Fourteen
cents was paid this week for choice
Oregons. This quotation has not been
seen since the middle of last Septem-
Der.
This top price, IA cents, was paid
| by Louis Lachmund to Henry Eof, of
Independence, for 400 bales Harry
L. Hart bought 1T bales from Robert
Ankeny, of Rickreall, at l2s cents.
