NORTHWEST MARKET
REPORTS.

son opens. Everybody in the trade
bullish, the growers because they ar
nSsctically certain to get very hig
prices, and the buyers because the
cannot be otherwise.
The contracting movement is begir
ming to get little headway in tn
West. 1t would be booming wer
there enough sellers. Buyers stan
ready to contract for wool anywher
in Eastern Oregon, but they are no
able to make any impression yet OF
the growers, and may not be able to d.
much in this line before shearing time
unless they offer a good deal NOR,
than they are talking now. Dealers
would be glad to contract for gooc
medium clips at % cents, such clips al
they bought last year at II to Is
cents, but sheepmen turn deaf ear t.
such proposals. While values are go
ing to be high this year it would bt
folly to predict any definite prices.
The hop market is plainly moving
in an upward direction, under the in.
fiuence of a 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-
ber.
This top price, ID cents, was paid
by Louis Lachmund to Henry Eoff, of
Independence, for 400 bales. Harry
L. Hart bought 1T bales from Robert
Ankeny, of Rickreall, at 12s cents.
