THE 3IORXIXG OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, AXUART 15, 1910. B E WG HIDES Hop Dealers Taking on Cheap er Qualities CHOICE NOT ON MARKET Active Demand at All Points on the Coast Iinglisli Market Lively and Higher Decline in - Eggs Checked. TTon buyers in this state have turne"l their attention mostly to the lower grade. This Is because they cannot get good hops at the prices they have offered. Yesterday's business, which was quite large, was mainly Jn the inferior qualities at prices ranging from 3 7 to 19 cents. Among the transactions reported yester day was the purchase by Isaac Pincus & Sons of the Burton crop of 380 bales, at Independence, and the purchase by Hal Bolara of 250 bales from a local dealer. Catlin & Linn also bought 20O bales and purchases by the Seavey Hop Company, Mc Js'eff Bros., H. S. II art and Klaber, Wolf & fetter were reported. John Carmichael is said to be buying freely fhrdufrh his own. axents, and it is believed that some of the purchases by other dealers are for him. For good hops, 21lA and 22 cents is being offered. This does not show any advance over the prices offered a few days ago. but when the quality of the lower grades that are selling Is examined, it will be seen that the market has improved to a con siderable degree. Mops that would not have been looked at recently are now going at very fair prices. The activity has extended to Washington, where orders are numerous in both Western Washington, and Yakima. Bird, of London, has secured several hundred bales of me dium and prime Western Washlngtons on consignment at 10 cents advance. There are left, in. growers' hands 600 bales in Western, Washington and 1200 bales in Yakima. The Califomuia market is also strong. Tionovan bought 100 bales of Sacramentos at 20 cents, which is 1 to 2 cents higher than the market was quoted last week. Twenty two cents was offered for 230 bales of Sonomas and there were offers of 22 cents for tehoice Sonomas, but growers are holding fo 24 and 25 cents. C. A. ' Dorcas, of this city, yesterday bought 110 bales in Shasta County at 21 H cents It was the only crop grown" in the county and is like the Southern Oregon hops Jn auallty. Ironmonger, of London, cabled Isaac Pin cus & Sons yesterday as follows: "Market active all grades; fully 5 shil lings higher; 1!00 -bales, crop 1909 sold; market firm at the advance; there is every prospect of the market advancing further. Continental market very firm at the last advance." GRAIN TRADING ON' A LIGHT SCAXE. Wheat Markets Firm at Lost rrices Re ceipts Small. Business continues very quiet In the wheat, oats and barley markets. In wheat, the undertone Is moderately firm, as sellers are not much In evidence, but at the same time the demand Is slack. Prices In all lin?a are unchanged. Local receipts In cars were reported by the Merchants Exchange as follows: Wheat Barley Flour Oats Hay Mrmday 36 S 16 4 ft Tuesday '-'3 1 18 2 6 Wednesday ...

Taking Out of a Carload Relieves Front Street Temporarily. Eggs dropped as low as SO cents on Front street yesterdaj. but the decline will probably bo checked, at least temporarily, by heavy shipments made last night. A lo cal broker bought up a carload for ship ment to Montana points. This cleaned up most of the accumulation of Oregon eggs. Since the home article has dropped so low, buying of Eastern eggs has practically oeased. I'p to the present time the poultry mar ket has held its own. but prices were some what unsteady yesterday and in some quar ters a lowering of quotations Is -expected. There were no new developments In the butter or cheese markts. Potato Market Shows Strength. The local supply of potatoes has again be come small, but with the moderating of the weather stocki will soon be replenished. Portland prices are on a firm basis and quo tations on Oregon potatoes also hold up well a,t San Francisco, as shipments Southward tiave been small. AH Vegetables Are Firm. All vegetables are Arm. particularly those kinds for which Portland depends on Cali fornia, as prices in the Southern state are on a higher basis. A car of mixed California vegetables Is due Monday. Oranges are coming up in regular ship ments and are moving out actively. Other wise the fruit market Is quiet. Itank Clearings.
