NORTHWEST MARKET
REPORTS.


Portland-Hop trading quieted down
at all points on the Coast Monday.
There is little or no demand in this
state and dealers do not expect bust
ness to revive before the first Of the
month.
The New York market is inactive,
according to the Waterville Hop Re-
porter, which says:
1--WE learn of no sales here or in the
adjoining towns and little change in
the present situation is looked for un-
til after the holidays. Offers at lower
rates have been made, but growers
have turned them down. The opinion
is quite general that the bulk of the
growers, having waited thus far to
dispose Of their crops, will see the
thing through"
