A largo forco of men has boon en

Tho water will bo forced all over tho

hops remaining in control of tho grow
ers, and with tho visible supply, i all
hands in this stato extremely limited,
growers nro asking 20c a pound for
their hops, and some havo ontiroly with
drawn them from sale.
"The market is entirely blocked nt
this time," says Herman Klabor.
i' Growers will not let go. Somo nro
asking 20c a pound, while others will
not soli just now at any price"
Short interests nro very much
alarmed, and therefore trying to dis-
lodno tho crowors from their hold on

thoro would not bo nearly enough hops
to fill tho orders nlroady taken by

fully 10,000 bales of Oregon hops for

eouplo of thousand bales in tho hands
of all growers, nnd loss thnn 10,000
bales in all hands, including dealers,
the outlook from a short seller's point
of view is extremely gloomy.
