One Lot of 1909s Goes at the
High Figure of Season
' Contracts Written.
While transactions are limited owing
to the small' visible supplv in tlin hands
of either growers or dealers here, the
market for hops is firm and there are
reports that one lot was wanted by a
dealer ut 20c but the grower would not
accept.
- There Is a firmer tone In 1909a and
hetween dealers nulte a few sales have
been made recently. Julius Plncus sold
17 bales to the Seaver Hop company at
15 cents, this being the high mark for
transactions In that growth recently.
Quite a few contracts for the 1911
crop are reported sround 15 cents a
pound. Spring wprk has ben started In
me vara a and. tnerelore many growers
are fn need of fund That aiwtni tn h.
the reason for the spurt in contract
writing during the past few davs.
New York and foreign hop markets
are reported very firm but as here busi
ness is nominal because of the small
visible supply of 11 0s. Even the older
growths are In small supply.

Eastern and Coast ' Interests
Already Speak JorvMore
Chinook Salmon Than- Was
Canned a YearAgo.
Try to Order Salmon.
Jobbing Interests all over th
country ara making great efforts
to secure confirmation of orders
for 1J11 canned salmon. Moat
of the orders aire for fully double
I tha amount used last season, and
are subject to formal opening
figures.
' If present Signs do not mislead, the
opening of the 1911 packing season
along the, Columbia river will 'show a
great amount of fish available for, the
tins.
i There is an unususlly "Surly run of
chinooks now showing' in the Columbls
and this Is forcing heavier receipts in
inerrcsh. rlsh markets . here. The
cblnooks now oominip forward are of
unusually . large etze and quality and
fully up to the best thst has ever come
from the river. '
Columbia river canners report that
many Inquiries are being received from
eastern as well as coast connections for
larger supplies of. fish for the coming
season than has ever before been or-
dered. One cannery the Pillar Rock-
has already received inquiry lor Wily
twice as many caaea aa were canned
during 1910 snd the regular season has
not yet started.
Alonr with tfce orders for chinooks is
coming a big bunch of Inquiries regard
ing the probable deliveries of eteelhesds.
It has only been a few seasons that
steelheads were put up by canners be
cause all the fish of this variety was
generally gpbbled up by cold storage op
erators who shipped' the fish in ice
to England, Germany and other parts
of Europe. The past season there was
J quits a liberal pack of. steelheads along
me oiumuia ana at ail times tne de
mand was better than supplies. The
fish 1 gave entire satisfaction and by
some ara preferred !? even th kingly
chlnook.

Conditiona In the1 entire cereal market
are far from satisfactory either to
buyer or seller. Wheat trade is stag
nant and while quotations are nominally
unchanged, the tendency among buyers
Is to lower their bids, while producers
are not Inclined to sell unless given an
advance. .
The Canadian reciprocity matter Is
holding back the grain trade mora than
anything else and until it is settled
one way or the other affairs in the
?rain trade will likely remain quiet so
ar as wheat Is concerned. '

the lack of trade in the flour market

Patent flour is extremely dull and
buyers are taking hold only in a hand

change In the wheat situation.

who are unable to clean out their al
