WORLD'S MARKETS TODAY
CHARIER CHANGE
HOP MARKET IS
? QUITE LIVELY
Dealers Are- Buying Old
;IIops as Well as Taking
Y Contracts for New.
" ' Th hop market is gradually showing
an Improved tone. There Is a demand
'for both old and n hops at this time,
but to date buyers have shown no dis
position to force any advance In prion.
A 10c contract market for (he coming
efop ha been fully established during
the neat 24 hours nnd there Is every
. Indication that It will not be long be-
tnrm thm contract market will touch even
a Metier fltrure- probably 12c a pofind
Today there Is scarcely a local hop
dealer remaining In the city, most of
them being out in the country trying
to purchase the few remaining bales of
Ola nops at prilTl llini
, a pound downward, mostly downward
; however, for it takea something seject
'. In th way of quality to brlns; the top
figure.
With only a nominal number of bales
of '1907 hops. remaining" In the hands of
producers, the trade "Is showing a dia
poaitlon to clean them up and growers
are not disposed to hold longer. No
matter what the future of the market
may bring forth It is generally conceded
. by the trade that hops are cheap at
the present time and hence the dealers'
anvtetv to buv.
- During the past few days thereahave
been a number of races between dealers
for remaining 1907 hops. It la reported
that a number of small orders are on
hand from both domestic and European
huvera and practically every large
dealer has soma business In sight If
ha ran secure the hoDs.
The fact that the crop of Europe
promises well does not deter the trade
from loading up with all the old hops
It can find at loss-producing values.
There is still plenty of time for the
Kurorjean yards to be severely aam-
aae in fact most Of the damage uanal
ly Incurred In the English yards cornea
' during the present month.
. More Oarafnl About Contracts.
" Both dealers and growers are getting
to take more care wnen m axing con
tracts for future crops. In former
times It was the rule for dealers of
one class to violate their contracts
whenever the market went below the
- figures the paper called for. On sev
eral ooeaslona in late years dealers who
have tried to sidestep their obligations
' were taken to court and the ' decisions
were generally ip favor of the producer.
Contracts are contracts these days and
there I talk among the larger growers
of taking into court any rejected eon-
. tract when the quality Is up to ex
pectations and the only excuse for the
dealer's refusal to pay the contract
price was a lower market at the time
of delivery.
Dealers realise as do the brewers,
that unless they put the market to a
basis where harvesting is profitable to
producers, the growers will rot pick any
hops. By depressing the market too.
far thy would kill the Industry and
cause enormous values to rule after
awhile, as they did recently in barley.
An international reunion of brewers,
hop dealers and barley dealers ha been
called for the near future In Germany
and it is stated that a number of lm
nortant measures before the brewinu
world Will be thoroughly discussed and
relief obtained if possible. It is likely
that some of the larger dealers of this
country will attend.

Portland Ifnion Stockyards, July 14.
With no hogs In market during the past
peots of a very abundant yield and the I 24 hours, a firmer tone Is shown In the
duality will be up to the usual high
standard The crop will now require
no further attention until time for
bringing the beets to the factory, which
usually begins early In October.
John C. Brown brought In a sample
of wheat last Saturday from his Black
horse ranch that gives promise of a
yield of from 25 to 30 - bushels ler
acre, ine grain was wen niieo, mough
there was only . three grains to the
mesh, whereas last year there were
four grains to the mesh in fields In
this niairici. inis wouia indicate a
shortage or about 26 per cent over the
vleld of 1907. which was about 40
bushels oer acre In the Blackhorse
country, says the Heppner Timer. It
Is believed tnat other sections south
and west of-'Heppner will show about
the same per cent of damage to the
fall wheat crop, in the Heppner, Eight
Mile, Gooseberry; Blackhorse and the
section south of Lexington It is be-
lieved the damage will not exceed 20
per cent of the fall wheat hut spring
grain nas sunerea more, prooably 60
per cent.
The long dry spell lias played havoc
wim the crops in the wheat belt, and
It is reported that a number of Mav
vllle farmers have decided to cut their
crops for hay as the heads have not
filled well. While It Is very unfor
tunate that this condition exists. It
will help the stockmen who had short
crops staring tnem in me race, says tho
rossii journal. it is now thought
that all eastern Orea-on will not hn re
vest over half of an average crop this
year.

firm today, considering the heavy ar

WEARY HUNT FOR A HOTEL
THAT WILL HOUSE A' DOG
Love me, lova my dog house ma.

A stylishly dressed young woman who
arrived on the steamer Rote City from
Ban Francisco last night was having
the time of her life today riding about
Portland In a carriage and seeking a
hotel where she could be accommodated
without being separated from the cut
est, ugliest, bow-legged little old bull
terrier that you ever saw.
"DogsT" with a long "a" sound on tho
"o," the young woman would ask of
every clerk in each, hotel that she en
tered. The woman was searching for
a first class hotel for herself and the
dear little brindle pup. And tha answer
was usually "No."
Out she would hike, with only tha two
words, "dogs" and ,"no," having been
spoken. Into tha carriage she would
jump, herself and pupple, and off again
she would be for another hotel.
. Then she got her mall at the general
delivery window of the poatoffice. Late
this afternoon the young woman finally
found a clerk who aald "Tea." Then th
traveler and doggie were happy.

Condon, Or., July 14. The present
