THE MORNING OKEGONIAN, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1900. HOPS NOT YET HURT 1-TheFiam May- -Slightly Delay the Harvest. MARKET IS IN GOOD CONDITION Qresron XJeld. &stiniatecl at If ear 65,- OOO Bales Stxttemeu by tne-Stat 'HopBTOTrfcrs'Asspcintlon. SAIJM, Sept. 7. President M. U. Jones, ot the Oregon Hopsrowers Asso ciation, was in Salen today, looking: after matters pertaining"" to the association. Ho, .says that fxom reports received by hjm from various, sections of the valley, t ho ,1s of the opinion tha the present hop. crop In Oregon -will Be about orie-thlra less than the" "crbps of last 'year. The yiel3 last year -was about ' 82,600 bales'. 'tEJarly estlinatfes"?based upon the appear 'arice of'' the yards placed the 1900 yield at 70,000 to 75,000 bales. Mr. Jones says that growers who have picked a consid erable portion of their yards and dealers whohav taken notice of, the. yields now place the crop at CO.000 to G5.000 bales. Mr. Jones thinks the present rain wJU do no material damage 4p the hop' crop unless It shall continue for .several days. Iff '"yards that were not sprayed arid con tained, a few lice, the damage may be of consequence. The rain will, of course, delay the picking, as the pickers cannot work while It is raining. The Oregon Hopgrowers- Association today gave out the following statement regarding -the present situation of the hop crops and hop market: 1 -For several days' the growers have been - energetic In harvesting the hop crop. Several of the smaller yards have finished picking and a few lots have been baled and are ready for market. All samples so "far are" choice. One lot of SO bales was offered for sale in Salem to- day. There Js active competition to pur chase It at over IS cents. It looks ,as though this Is to be a growers' year, and that the dealers will have to wear out .shoeleather to find growers who are will ing to fleil Instead of growers -falling oyer each other to find a buyer willing to make an offer. "The latest information from New York is that growers are firm holders for 20 cents a pound. "With the Oregon grow ers who have not yet contracted firm holders, there seems to be no doubt that they wfll realise 35 to 20 cents for their crop. "Reports justify the conclusion that there will be rather less than 203,000 bales of hops grown in the United States. With the average European demand or 75,000 to 123,000 bales, there will not be near enough hops to go around-i Should England tako 75,000 bales, which Is a minimum amount when she has an aver age crop, there would be a very short supply for the American demand. ' "Fifteen cents per pound is no more than a reasonable price at any time fo the grower. The consumption of the brewers' product having Increased 10 por cent., and the crop in the United States and JEngland being short more than 20 per cent., the growers are justified In expecting 15 to 20. cents for this crop. Dealers are already making offers of IS cents on "round lots of 000 or 300 bales." A drenching rain lias been falling In this vicinity all day, but late tonight the clouds broke, and it is thought the rain Is over. HEPPNER, WOOL MARKET DULL. Tiere Is a Active Demand for Slieep at Good Prices. "HEPPNER, Or., Sept. 7. The wool mar ket seems to have shut up shop here at present, the only buyer that is left being George Fell. He operates for a firm In Hartford, Conn., from whom he has re ceived a telegram as follows: "Market weaker; prospect "of marked decKne; we anticipate lower jirlces; buy no more "present." Notwithstanding this, growers here have confidence 'ins. "good -market. in the near t uture,ind consider wool jrobd property. Heppner Js the largest woolshipplng point in the United Stated for wool raised right'ltl its immediate neighborhood, and here are paid the fJest prices for wool in proportion as the market goes. ' The two Heppner warehouses have" handled this season 8,000,000 pounds of wool, and 500,000 piTunas still remain on the ranencs that is sure to" come to Hepp ner.

Sbcep Market Active. While the sheep are away on Summer range they are being bought and sold here f5r October delivery, and are in brisk demand. George Gray, th.e. ljuyer, has orders from the East for thousands of sheep at $3 a. hegd. But his principals want him to take only good young sneep. Growers Insist pn selling their entire bands or none, and in many large bands are a tew Hundred old sheep that will not pass muster tor Eastern shlpment.7 But brlsK business is being done among local people. Many -men VltlCgood ranges and largo sticks of nay liave now noshep, having sold to Eastern buyers last Spring. They want lambs to run on their ranges the coming Winter and sell next Spring. In that way they use up their feed, make a good profit, and get rid of the bother of hunting Summer range in the Blue Mountains, where cougars and bears are fond of mutton. Lambs are in strong demand at $2 and a shade better. J. J. Adkins and Harry Jones have just sold 1300 head of wether lambs at ?2 to I. C. Large. Joseph Hayes and I. C. Large started yesterday on a long tour of Grant and adjoining coun ties, intending to buy 15,000 lambs, to be resold to Heppner sheepmen. Recent rains have been favorable to stock Interests.

The large warehouses here arc fast filling up with wheat, and the warehouses all along the Heppner Railroad have built large additions, some of which are al aeady gorged. R. F. Hynd figures the total output of Morrow County this year at K00.O00 bushels. While this is a great grazing region and a most excellent stockralslng coun try, there have been more agricultural Implements sold In Heppner this year than ever before. Heppner Notes.

Moro are reported from the other side of the mountains, where the stock does not go. with no Ares, no trouble about the ranpe, and no apparent damage Cone, it does riot seem reasonable that action should be taken by the Interior Depart ment arbitrarily and without notice. .
