Newspaper Page TextWAVE OF HOP BUYING Dealers Take Hold Freely at Present Prices. GROWERS READY SELLERS Between 2000 and SOOO Bales -Are Bought From Farmers, Mostly Low Grades Bulk of Transac tions Are at 1 0 to ie Cents. , Another hop buying flurry haa struck the Oregon market. Induced by the fact that prires now asked by growers coincide with the vlewa of buyers. In other word the sell ing pressure is such that dealers find it an 'easy matter to buy at current prices, which are somewhat lower than those prevailing two weeks ago. Prices of the lowest grade, are now closo to the cost of production, and in view of the statistical position of the market, and its" possibilities, these prices are becoming more attractive to buyers of a speculative turn, although it Is not be lieved that any speculative buying has been done yet. Favorable developments, should they come, are not expected before the Spring market arrives. Transactions during the present week ag gregate in quantity between B00O and 3000 bales. The purchases were made at the wide range of S to 18 cents, with the bulk of buying at 10 to 12 cents. . C M- Werner has bought in the past two days 800 bales at S to 17 cents, all in this state. George W. Lewis, who buys fos Hugo Loewl. is also reported to have bought 00 hales at 10 to IS cents. Dorcas Bros, during the week, purchased close to S00 bales at the same prices. H. L. Harfs purchases In the last two days were 500 baits at 10H to 18 cents. Klaber. Wolf Netter and A J Ray Son have also been in the market. In fact nearly all the dealer, have made purchase, of some extent during ths " Among the growers who have .old were Herman Schmidt, of Aurora. 101 bales; Glen .-arothers. of Aurora.

Trade is quiet and where hops are preased for sale values favor purchasers. Manger Henley The general business during, the past week has again been of a quiet nature. Prices, where sales are pr favor buyers, but otherwise remain unaltered W H. H. Le May Although the general trade during the past week has been quiet several of the choicer growths of East and Mid Kent passed out of growers' bauds. In consequence of the quietness of the general trade, prices must be quoted slightly in buy ers' favor for all but the choicest.

KLOl'B SlTU.Vr.ON IN FAR EAST KBert of High Freight Rate, and Wheat Buying on Trade. Reportins on the flour situation la the orient Vk--Con.u!-Gcnral A. E. Carlton. ..f Hongkorg. says: "The lack of available tonnage and tne consequent increased freight rate, from the IMcifio Coast are Important features in the Hour stluatlon In the Far East and there I no apparent likelihood that this condi tion will h.j changed for the next Ave or -x m.mth. For October and November .l.'lyrl.s ths rates have Increased In some 'nances to $r..M- gold currency per ton and therefore the .arge dealers of flour are not ,., re-basin,- er.rcpt of certain brand, which it is necessary to keep in stock. As a mat ter tf fart the present supply In Hongkong and Shanghai, with tho 1.WO.00O bags en route, is sufficient to meet all demands for five or six months and importers are not anxious to Increase the supply, believing that In January or February shipowners will be willing to take a lower rate. To add to tills ununnl situation, the Japanese "had bought up to early Septem ber something like 40.000 tons of wheat be-.aus- of the very high price of rice, and Japanese bottoms alone are bringing out this wheat, thereby shutting out dour and other merchandise. The price of flour on the Pacific Coast is comparatively low. yet it would be possible to compete with the heavy ontput of the Shanghai mills It the freight rates were more or less the same as last year. The f ct that large consignments of flour from Shanghai are being shipped to Canton and other coast ports of South China was not altogether anticipated, but it la not ex pected that thl. will have any effect on flour for future delivery." FAST WILL WANT WHEAT UTKB t.ood Trade With the Orient Is Also Ex pected Present Market Dull. There was but little doing In the wheat market yesterday. Club wa quoted at 77 ?78 cent, and bluestem at 80 31 cents, tmt ttaee prices did not appeal to holders. The Eastern demand for wheat has quieted down, present requirements being tilled, but advices from the East are that purehasina will probably be heavy after the first of tho year. There is some buying of wheat for the Orient, but In a limited way. This business Is also likely to assume much larger pro portions after tho turn of the year. Sup piles of native Asiatic wheat are known to be practically exhausted and as the Aus tralian crop is short, this fact will turn the Oriental buyers to the Pacific Coast for what they need.

The poultry market was weak all around. Some of the dealers cleaned up their stocks of chic-kens, which were large, at 12 cents and others are said to have sold at 11 cents. More turkeys came In thsn were wanted and all were, therefore, not sold. Good dressed stock waa quoted at 233 24 rents. Pucks and geese were also in good shppty.

In response to profit taking sales, following yesterday, rise, and some selling by London, stocks weakened today. The opening was lower and price, eased off in the morning. Trad ing fell off to nominal proportions In the last half of the day and prices were vir tually at a standstill. London selling was regarded as the sig nificant development of the day. It was estimated that 20,000 to 30,000 shares were sold here by London, which recently has been repurchasing American securities dis posed of at the outbreak of tho Balkan war. This selling was attributed In part to uneasiness over the rejection by the Turkish government of peace term Another explanation was that the selling was London's reply to the engagement of gold there for this country. A further en gagement of tSOO.000 gold was announced today. For a time today there was some buy ing of stocks by traders who took the ground that strong influences lined on the bull side were responsible for yesterday's upturn. This buying was more than off set, however, by liquidating sales and Lon don selling, the Utter being the most ef fective in Union Pacific, Reading and Amal gamated. Losses were restricted to frac tions in most case Canadian Pacific de clined two points. Tho bond market was quiet and irrefru Iar. Total sales par .valua $1,375,000.
