favor of the poorer stock:- -
flrtion taoDi are conceded by the gen-

produced thh year. The worlda crop
of choice bops this season was not
large; there was an Immense production
of cheap hops. These, were produoed
outside of Oregon; ..
Short Sellers Sold Barly.
By the trade at large It -Is known
that short sellers sold - fully three
fourths ot. the., present, crop of heps In
Oregon, even before the vines had begun
to oome' out of the ground. They sold
these hops to eastern brewers and deal
ers at prices ranging from It to It
cents a pound. At these figures, brew
ers were glad t6 buy and dealers found
no difficulty a year ago In disposing
of all futures' they had to offer. ..
For three years the price of hops has
leen at such a figure that growers were
able to lift s f!W of the mortgagee oft
their farms. Every pound of hops they
produced was needed.
Lat y -r the shortage was severe
and prices went beyond 30 cents with a
rapidity that entirely took, away the
hreath of those that had sold short.
Borne of these shorts have not yet dc
livered Ihe product they contracted for.
Trying to Set Xvea.

could be counted on the fingers and toes,
these dealers are predicting all sortt
of calamity for the growers.
'We'll put them out of business this
year for certain." Is the expression used
hy one hop dealer who Is short many

Bhorf sellers have stsmpeded , the
growers by telling them that hops will
not be worth plcktaig expense. If this
Is so. The Journal would like to ask
this question: Why sre Ihe doalers
breaking their necks to get out Into
the country to buy these same hops st
prices ranging from 10 to 11 cents for
strictly choice when, according to their
own account, they can buy them In
short time for almost nothing?

to the large number of ' transients who '

Not only Is retail businees better than -It

with great activity,' and the market
holds up strong with a marked tendency
for property to advance. Thl waa pre
dicted by Th JournsI during th
progress of th exposition. The condi
tion of the realty market doubtless is
due to the fact that many delayed buy
ing property in the belief that there
would be a slump after the fair; thst '
very waiting caused the retention of Im
