Dangerous Swellings and VARICOSE VEINS an promptly re.isv.d f tea eured by wearing our Silk Elastic Hosiery Trm m kink aa fasaatf WOODARD, CLARKE & CO. PORTLAND, ORCON 1 IS IN VALLEY At some of th. hopyards up th. val ley th. gathering of the 1912 crop be gan Monday. Others will start pick ing later In tb. week. In most of the yards, however, tbe pickers will not be set to work until th. first of th. coming month. Harvest operatlona will b. generally under way next week, and tbe weather permitting, there will be no letup until tbe crop Is under cover. For the most part the picking that started this" week was actuated byj the fear that damage to th. crop might result If tb. bops were left longer on tbe vines. In some of tb. yards, where the growers neglect ed spraying at tbe critical period just prior to tha recent) ralna or where the work waa Improperly done, mold la aald to have developed to some extent snd the growers In such cases are anxious to get their crops gather ed with tbe least possible Injury .tak ing chances even on premature pick ing In preference to waiting for an other week. The market as usual at the open ing of tbe harvest season, shows no signs of life, but remains steady to Arm in tone. That tbe market has stiffened somewhat during tbe past two weeks is generally conceded, and thia la of course sttributed to devel opments in some of the distant pro ducing section. In New York the growers hare bad unfavorable weath er to contend with, and In England weather conditions tbe post few weeks appear to have been even worse, tbe rains there have been auch m to cans t. growers a good dv of apprehension. On the Continent tbe hop crop promises to be a larg one, but In quality It la believed now that the world's crop will not be op tbe expectations a few weeks sgo. Tbe yield of the three Pacific Coact states will of course be well above that of last year, and on the whole promises to ahow good quality. The Coast growers, in view of the lateat developments In the general situation and tbe fact that the harvest season is just opening, naturally are paying little attention to the market On 1912s dealers are quoting 18 to 20 cents, but there Is little or no busi ness passing. LIVE STOCK RECEIPTS IN PORTLAND LIGHT Livestock receipts were light In Portland the totals unloaded at the yards during the past 24 hours being 100 cattle, 85 bogs and 2 horses, and as si consequence not much In the way of business was reported up to noon. So far aa could be learned there was no weakening ot values In any department of the market Among the early transactions Tues day was the sale of a load ot medium grade steers averaging 1051 pounds in weight at $6.55. In general the impression prevailed that beef ma terial of best quality was still mov able at the full prices quoted, aflU in the supply situation in the Northwest dealers say there Is nothing to indi cate any material decline In values in the near future. No trade In the sheep division was reported during the forenoon, but the prices realised in yesterday's sales gave evidence of strength In the mar ket on both sheep snd lambs. The strength" ot tbe hlg market waa ahown clearly enough In tbe sale of a bunch of 78 top grade porkers aver aging 219 pounds In weight at $9.2o, last week's high quotation. For the hog market during the remainder of the year the prospect is said to be favorable In the extreme. Shippers represented at the yards wer N. S. Levy, Union, 1 car of horses R. G. Shook, Durkee, 1 car of cattle; W. B. Kurtz, St Anthony, 1 car of bogs; D. Wasson, Harrisburg, 2 cars of cattle, and John Wasson, Harris burg, 1 car of cattle. WAtJ 3-! 'VLH V n& iZZ Means Fence Economy FIRST it is durable. Think of the time you have spent in the last five years repairing and rebuilding fences of other kinds. LSO the time spent in watching your stock and the crops destroyed in spite of your carefulness. There are few farmers who have not lost valuable animals because poor fences taught them to jump. There are few communities where neigh borhood disputes have not been the result of poor fencing. ""JTIE wire fence overcomes all of these troubles, enchances the appearance and the value of your farm and instead of having a hard, profitless job to keep the fence corners clear of weeds, you cultivate the soil now worse than wasted. "pHINrC this over, then come in and talk wire fencing with us. We will sell you the best and cheapest fencing there is. Fi'ank Btsch JtTH AND MAIN i;g FROM 18 TO 19 CENTS All Interest Is now centering In th. hop markets. Tbe market la nomin ally steady to Strang locally, but no business Is passing. Tb. esrly hig gle are just beginning to b. baled and tb. quality looks god but tbs ma jor portion ot th. crop will not b. picked nntil next week. Some buslne In 1912 hops haa passed In California. Spot goods of the new crop Is reported sold In th. Sacramento section at 18 to 19o a pound, which considering the usual differential means about 20 cents here. However, no business has been report ed op to that bails. Quality of th. new crop of Californ ia bops Is said to be very good, and the yards are showing a quantity as bad been generally expected during recent weeks. While picking Is now in progress In the Sonoma, Cal., sec tion no baling Is reported. Prevailing Oregon City price, ar. as follows: DRIED FRUITS (Buying), Prunes on basis ( to 3 cents.

There has been no let-up in th. strength of the market In any line. Steers that would have brought not to exceed 6c a year ago sold reayiily for 7c. Cows and heifers sold excep tionally high on. lot of spayed heif ers sold for $6.70. The hog market was strong with tops at $9.25. An unusual feature of the hog receipts was the arrival of a car load of bogs from a lumber camp in Western Washington that had been slop ted until they were about th. de sired weight and then finished on a short feed of corn.
