HOP GROWERS ASK 26 CENTS ON CONTRACTS Hod grower are now freely offer ing contracts on the 1912 crop at zee a pound at Willamette vaney points A number of contracts were signed ud at this figure during the past 24 hours, although most dealers say that they have no orders that would ad mlt of payment of more than 25c. With the lack of outside competition for contracts, American brewer are playing their usual game of delay to Influence price. The same sort of affairs was shown last season and everyone knows what happened to the procrastinating buyers. The present outlook for the hop crop Is for a good production In the Wlllameta valley. While some re norts Indicating that quite a number of missing hills are shown, these are said to exist principally In those yard that some timo ago outlived their term of usefulness. While the season Is still too young to make any forecasts of probable hop production, the outlook at this time is better everywhere than it was a year ago. For that reason brewers are Inclined to look with more favor upon the bear side, although tbejr udgment. this season must be fully as poor as during previous years. Spot hops are very quiet. Trading Is limited with only an occasional pur chase between dealers. Remaining bops in the hand of the Independent grower are being held for a rise, but grower-dealers are letting go. TELL8 ON THE KIDNEYS. Oregon City People Have Found Thl To Be True. The strain of overwork tells on' the weakened kidneys more quickly than on any other organ of the body. The hurry and worry or business men, me heavr lifting and stooping of workmen, the women' household care, tend to wear, weaken and Injure the kidney until they can no longer niter tbe poi son from the blood and the whole body suffer from the waste matter that ac cumulates. The weakened kidneys need quick assistance. Doan's Kidney Pills are prepared especially for sick, weakened kidneys; tired, worn-out back have cured thousand of .such cases. Convincing proor in an uregon City citizen's statement Frank H. Bunch, Jr., Main su, Ore gon City, Ore, say: "I suffered from acute attacks of kidney and bladder trouble for some time and got no re lief until I tried Doan's Kidney Pill.

KING'S MEW PISCOVERYX FOR ALL DISEASES OF TUDAAT ST I SOLD AND GUARANTEED BY I ALL DRUGGISTS PRICE OF OATS IS UP 50 CENTS;U An advance ot 60c a ton 1 being quoted In the bids of local dealer for No. 1 white oat. For this stock the bid range from $33.50 to 134 a ton with both prices In effecL The strength In the oat trade at this timo Is occasioned by the extreme lack of offering and the Improving demand. Wheat market la holding firm but price are unchanged. Aa a rule buy or for California account are blddln 98c for blucstem track basis and B3o for club. Doth varieties are still be ing bid for by the south and this la about the only business that I puss- Ing at present. Flour market I very firm but the Portland Flouring Mill continue to hold out for old prices while the three other locul mill have advanced tholr card rale. The situation show slml lur character in the north. A small amount of export business Is passing for June-July shipment but the trade consist principally or reg ular brumls. Outside of this tho ex port market is nominal. IN SPOT HOP TRADE There Is a slightly Improved feel ln In the spot hop trado. Brewers are Injuring for supplies whllo the volume of business Is small, there Is little stock remaining to fill this offering. For that reason grower- holder are making no concession in price. April I usually a good buying month for hops as that Is tho time that brewer look over their stock In preparation for the summer bus Iness. Contracts are nominal at 25 to 20c a Dound for 1912 with business offered at both prices. There is a slight increase in this branch of the trade. American brewers continue to show the only Interest In either spot or contract good. There is a somewhat firmer fuel Ing abruod and some slight advance Ing abroad and some slight advance recently.

That I the estimate of a loading dealer. Kegiirdliig the market outlook he 'aid: "In the event of a general revival of the demand and It seem altogeth er likely that this will come soon It would not take long to clean up what remain of the crop In thl state, for beyond question aupplle In tKegon now are lighter than those of thl datn a year ago. "For that matter. It would probatny be safo to say that supplle In all hand of the entire west at thl time aggregate far smaller total than those of a year ago. In view of thl and the fat that there are still at least two mouth In which to dispose of stocks, the market, though very quiet for the time, may bo considered funda mentally sound. "Thore I practically no buying for shipment under way now, for demand I lacking. The southern markets are still more or loss loaded as a result of tho heavy shlpmont from the North In March, but aupplle there must soon be very much reduced, and then there should be a revival of the demand.
