The reported purchaae of over J.000 bales of hops by Klaber. Wolf ft Natter of this city, of which Arm Herman Klaber of Tacoma Is the head, has added much fuel to the tight In the hop market and started a war for supremacy of the hop trade that la now involving two of the larger tlrins In the business and inay perhaps force the general trade iato the light. It has been a matter or common knowledge for some time that . the firms of Isaac Plncus ft Bona of Ta .eoraa and Herman Klaber have been try ing to force each other out of the hop ttradu. While Plncua haa had the lead of the trade for some yesrs, Klaber has . been mending his "fences" and the re sult Is that he now controls several large hop firms waiting for battle with Messrs. Plncus A Sons. While In some quarters In fact In most quarters of . the bop trade It Is generally believed ' that 'the so-called enormous purchases of Saturday by Klaber were merely the taking In of contracts made early In the - .1.. lvtnv mit f rr miMIca Hon of such purchases has had the effect of gtlirening tne roarnei cunaiueraui) Ptaooa Baying Secretly Ear. Whit nn the surface It is not shown ' that Plncua has been a purchaser of hops here of late. It Is reported on quite sood authority that the firm has been taking in a large number of ho secretly at various points In the W lametta , valley, paying the top-top values In order to get quality that he could deliver on his short sales. Quite , a number or sales or nopa tiave reen reported to various dealers who have been buyers for the Plncus account in former seasons. This may mean that the big Tacoma nrm is not in naro straights; for hops as .the Klaber peo ple believe. In any event the hop mar ket Is .much firmer than last Friday and ' r rowers are showing but little llsposl t ton to let go at the higher range of values now -oeing quoted. i BntUr Market Is Advanced. There was an advance of 2c a pound , In the price--of best creamery butter here this morning. While some maker did not advance their values early in the day, almost evry one did so later . because each-must pay the higher price for cream. Best local creamery butter stands at 36e a pound today and the .. market Is Arm at that figure. Supplies . of fancy quality are limited and the trade anticipates no trouble in main taining values. a Egfs Are Very Soaro. Local ranch eggs are very scarce tn the Front street markets. Supplies In dicate that the country is holding them for a higher range of values, a large portion of the arrivals of late not showing first, class quality and were - therefore unable to bring top quotations. There Is a continuation of a very weak and dull tone in the poultry mar ket All lines are now affected by the weakness, trade In ducks and turkeys , feeling the effects of. the -glut in chickens. While a short time ago the trade found no -difficulty at all in dis poning of all turkey arrivals at 18c, trade will not take them at that figure. Week's market depends upon the extent of the arrivals but none anticipate a r very heavy demand. Potatoes Are Bather Stoaxy. A rather steady tone Is noted In the local potato' market just now. Offerings of producers are rather light and out side markets are not disposed to pay high price Some of the present busi ness Is fo speculative purposes, this indicating chat the trade itself is of the opinion that the market will do better -later in ' the season. A carload of onions from Stockton, tjai., was aue 10 arrive along me sireei i tnriav. Several cars have been ordered because'of the lack of supplies here, due to the holding by local producers, .

Weather conditions in Lewis county the past summer and fall have been different al together from any that have obtained before in the memory of the oldest in habitant. Krom June up to the present time tnere nas been scarcely any rain, with the result that nearly all the pas turage has been burnt up and growing crops have suffered greatly. Early frosts in September killed much of the late crops, ' especially nipping the late planted potatoes, which will make the price on that article high this winter.

Mr. Benson of Benson A Gould saya: "The hog market la somewhat weak at the moment although there Is no doubt that $7 could still be obtained for best stuff. There is a fine call for fat cows, but" steers are slightly neglected." Lee M. Lacy of Hunt Lacy: "The livestock situation remains about the same as last week. Hogs (hat Is good, fat stuff would still bring $7. and se lect steers will likely continue at $4.26." A year ago todav hogs were weak; cattle and sheep firm. No change in values for the day. Today 60 horses arrived in the yards. Yard' Representative Sales.
