' 17a. 9 Orders for the J 902 crop of Oregon nops at Zv cent a pound r now going begging and grower throughout tha Valley are holding their atocka for higher quotations. Tha market ahowa renewed activity and soma - of the choicer lots ara bringing tOH cents. The aales reported at this figure were made to (Sealers who had sold and there Is aald to be many, of these. The general opinion among the grow ers of the Valley -who have the hop situation of tha Coast In their graap Is that if they hold on to their stock for a few more weeks, they will be amply rewarded, far their trouble and chance taking bf receiving ft large Increase over present qaotattona. Some of the larger growers are predicting that the market will go up to 16 cents and even higher before the end of .the praaent season Is la sight. Ceutraota Xelng leads. Borne contraots are being made at quotations ranging from 11 cents to 16 cents a poand for the 1103s and there now aeema a change In aentlment among the growera aa far aa contracting Is con cerned. In the fore part of the present seaaon when prloea were high most of those who had contracted their crop around the 10-cent mark concluded that It did not pay to tie them up at such a figure so veny few future contracts were made at that time. Now all Is changed, and with the lower price quoted on the 1902a and a higher contract price on the l03a, thoae whp failed to make.' con tracts earlier In ' the season are now availing themselves of the opportunity. Btrong Eastern Market, The situation In the Bast Is strong with every tendency for higher quota tions. European markets are the same and quotations are advancing steadily. Stocks throughout the world, which were said during the early pa it of the .season to be heavy, are almmered down until now most of the large brewing concerns are reported to be buying from hand to mouth. With this condition In mind, those who still have supplies of 1902s on hand are determined to hold on a while longer. , - Eggs ara Weaker. Although the receipts of eggs were not extensive today there whs plenty of stock on hand to supply all demand at current quotations and still have a large amount of surplus eock which had to be placed in Cold Htorage. Egg prices sre considered far too high for this sea son of the year and dealers In order to keep their stocks ffUrly cleaned up were .compelled to sell below yesterday's figures. Weakness Is shown throughout the entire market and further drops in quotations are quite likely unless there is a radical change in the amount of receipts. Quotations today range from 16 Vi to 17 cents . Strawberry Arrivals Short. Strawberry arrivals from the South were short today on ' account of the scarcity of sufficient cars to move tne crop. Tomorrow, however, the receipts will amount to nearly three cars and there will be plenty to supply all de mand. Receipts of Oregon stock are about the same and It Is not expected that the crop of this state will be In full swing for t least two weeks. One car of green bananas- were sp ceived from the South this morning. The marketable fruit Is in heavy de mand. Quotations still stand at 6 cents a pound, . Asparagus From Walla Walla. Asparagus Is beginning to arrive from Walla Walla in large shipments and with the larger receipts of stock from California the market fs well supplied Quotations today range from 1 to $1.25 a -box. Poultry Demand Larger. Poultry of all kinds Is In larger de mand today and the top quotation 1 being received for all stock. Receipts of mixed chickens are liberal, but hens are slow arrivals. Some ducks are being received, out the demand Is limited. Tha Meat Situation. Some fresh beef arrived on the street today and found a fair demand at top quotations.' Veal arrivals are large, but demand Is slacker. There are plenty of hoga on the street, but. quotations are) weak on account of a smaller demand. Packed meats, though unchanged In limited. Lard Is quoted fair with quo tatlons tbs same, . . ... ;. , Heavy Demand for feed. ' Feed demand is heavy at the advance of $1 a ton reported exclusively in The Journal yesterday. Stocks are light and the market shows . everytendenoy for higher quotations. 1- Wheat is in nominal demand, but the local . market is not now showing the weakness that was so prevalent for the jiast few weeks. Flour demand about equals the supply, ' Heavy Country Business. The various wholesale grocers of this city report a large Increase during thi month In country orders. City trade Is, however, getting smaller with the con tinuance of the labor difficulty, the higher priced goods being especially In small demand.

FOLEY'S KIDNEY ..; CURE makes the kidneys well so they will eliminate the poisons from the' blood. It removes the .catise of-the many diseases resulting from disordered kidneys which have allowed' your ' whole system, to become' poisoned. 5 Rheumatism, Bad Blood, Gout, Gravel. Dropsy, Inflammation of the Bladder, Diabetes and Bright's Disease, and many others, are all due to disordered Kidneys. A simple test for Kidney disease is to set aside your urine in a bottle or glass for twenty-four hours. If there is a sediment or a cloudy appearance, it indicates that your ; kidneys are diseased, and unless something is done they become more and more affected until Brlght's Disease -: or Diabetes develops. .

It is now stated that the 'fold export movement will reach $12,000,000- to $15,000,000, which prospect and tha labor troubles are the leading bear argu ments.
