Eugene City, Or., August 30, 1888. Hop Market. During the lust week bops came to a fig ure that iusures tbe picking of the entire crop. Buyers are contracting at twelve aud one-half cents, and many growers have al ready contracted at that figure. Xotiee. Chas.

A few hop growei com menced picking their crop this week, but picking will not generally commence until next Monday, when lulwers of all descrip tion, men, women and children, may find fairly remunerative employment iu the hop fields. The price of hops being very low this year, growers will make a slight reduc tion in prices paid for picking; but as the orop is heavy tbe pickers will probably make much as in average years. We have been informed that the price agreed upon gener ally by growers is 40 cents per box for seven bushel, and 50 cents foi nine bushel boxes, A large amount of money is annually dis bursed iu Lane county among hop pickers, finding its way into tbe hands of those who in most instances have no other opportunity of earning wages. They should be willing to pick for a lower price, else the hop growers cannot at present prices afford to gather their crop. PaonTABLB Farir. Dr. A. W. Patterson has sold ta 8. P. Shiddeu the product of about one-third acre of plums and silver primes at the price of 60 cents per 100 Pounds, real iziug alioiit $100 for the same. This small orchard is situated on the Putter on island of the Willam- tte river two miles aliove Eugene, aud is subject to annual over flow. The trees are nine years old and al though no attention has been paid them have borne heavily for three years. Fruit raising ill pay well in Lane county, and with the intelligent eflorts that are now being put forth by many of our citizens who are inter pled in tbe matter, we expect to see, in a yearn, fine fruit farms yielding remuuer tife crops.
