It la for this reason that the trade la again resort In to eastern chilled stock In order to fill Its orders. Most or the chilled atufr now being purchased consists of geese, ducks and turkeys, because In these lines oractlc ally none are arriving from local placea.

Cohen. Short sellers of hops are buying th abandoned yards. This Is the latest turn' the hop market has taken and In dicates so frantic the shorts .are now that they are positive tnat tnere were not enough bales of hops gathered In Oregon, to fill the snort sales made more than a year ago. Latest advices state that a number of abandoned yards In the vicinity of Gervals have been purchased by deal ers during th past. 48 hours, and. there are reports of short sellers taking up abandoned places In other sections. In th Gervals district T. A. Llvesley & Co. are said to.be the principal pur chasers at this Time. With a hop crop of slightly more than half what the short sellers have already sold, tbe Oregon' grower may come into his own this'' season next season, bis chances . look better at this time. The fact that he would not pick his moldy or llce-rldden yards caused a serious deficiency In the production from the viewpoint of the short seller, but to the grower It may prove an unlooked-for salvation, bringing as It does the short seller to realise that he cannot forever sell hops several years ahead, of the time they are purchased or grown. Latest advices from the east, from California, Washington and from Eu rope, tell the same story of a short production this season. Poor quality s shown everywhere and Oregon is the only place that picked nothing but the best this year. This will add that much more to Oregon's market tbe coming season. On account of the great scarcity of new Choice irbods, shorts are trying to buy some of the old holdings. In this thev failed, for few holders of old stock are willing to sell them, at the prices offered, some 01 them saying tnat uiey hardly cared to offer them at this time.
