There arc many talou made, of cotirso, but sorao of tho doalers say that not more than 10,000 bales havo thus far left tho state, whllo others contend that, In cluding thoso contracted, fully half tho Oregon crop Is now out of the , growers' hands, so far as ownership Is concerned, though many of these hops aro still In tho possession of tho grow er.

Tho market quotation for tho strict ly choice grades Ih 25 cants a pound, and a fow good lots have changed bands nt that figure. II. J. Ottonhelm er has purchased several good lots at 25 cents, and Jack Carmlchaot tins nlso paid that prlco for somo good crops. Catlln & Linn yesterday secured 105 bales of choice hops Jn Polk county for 25 cents, and other similar sales nro reported. Charlos Llvosloy has bought In qulto a fow hops this sea son, and his purchases are said to bo noarly 1000 bales. Ho began on tho Karly Fuggles, at 22 conts, and this woolc ho bought two lots of prlmo hops at 23 cents. Ono was tho crop of D.

Somo of tlio dcalors hero have innila good ninnoy by purchasing yards about to bo abandoned by growers on nccnunt of mold, or because pickers could not be secured, nnd by harvest ing theso abandoned yards have se curod good crops. In ono instanoo. n doaler bought a yard loft unpicked, and secured no balos or hops.

September 18th: Nearly all of our local growers have finished harvesting their crops, and It Is certain that the crop wns novor put under cover In hotter condition. The quality Is gllt-etlged and dealers will have no occasion to find fault with sample this year. It Is probable that the yield in thts county will be about what it was last year. Cobbloeklll Times.

Deal trs are gathering In samples, but buy ing Is not really begun. They are waiting advices from New York and other places before they really begin work.

At tho Fnr Iolghs, however, the crop proves to bo lighter than had beon expected, and tho quality varies considerably. A later message stales that a furious gale raged over tho district Tuesday night nnd yesterday morning, nnd It is reared that a considerable amount or damngo has been dono among the hops, especially those on high, ex posed Innds. Canterbury nnd district Picking Is making good progress, but growers nro unable to secure a sufficient number or pickers. They are anxious to get the hops down quickly beforo they de teriorate In quality, there being some evidence or red mold. The average yield will be larger than that or last year, but, generally spanking, the hops come down lighter than had been an ticipated, Slurry Picking baa genorally been begun In this district, and, to the dis appointment or tho growers, the crop Is coming down much lighter thnn wns expected.
