Annual Reviews of the London' Dealers 1 vocal Grain Markets Are Steady Sharp Slump in Poultry Prices. -Tha New Tork hop market Is forging ahead and 1 now considerably above a parity with the Coast markets. Wires were received yesterday that buying In that atate waa active at S2 cents. This would Indi cate that Paclflc Coast hois are worth at least S centa. "States" always command a premium over Pacifies, partly because of tha malt else of the New Tork crop and partly because brewers have been accustomed to them for years and do not care to change. Samples of choice New Tork hope were re ceived yesterday and they make a poor showln, compared with Oregon. It Is. there fore, reasonable to put a value of at least 29 eenta on the new Oregon crop, though that prtce baa not been bid yet. That the open market will very soon reach that level aeema oertaln. , A telegram from California last night stated that 23 cents had been paid In that atate for 200 bales by Philip Wolf i. Ce.

We anticipate a much smaller Importation to this country than usual, so that we have very little com petition to fear this year, which strengthens the position on our market very consider ably, and we quite expect that all awoil samples will find a ready sale when the demand aets in at prices which will re munerate the growers who are fortunate enough to have a fair crop.
