With a single movement the hop
market locally was lifted front IS to

growth.
A purchaie f 10,000 pounds or 100
bales was mads late yesterday evening
at an advance of to above anything
neretorore oriered irnre ror contracts.
The purchase was made by Julius Wolf
of Silver ton from Mlshler ft Grlbbl
of Aurora, who are both growers and
dealers. .,
It has been known for soms time
that bona fide contracts would-be worth
more than tin's pound but until the
Factual offers had been mads the newa
oould not stand publication. Soma time
ago Mlshler ft Cribble were approached
by a hop dealer nnd given to under
stand that u thry really wanted to au
a contract (hey could do far better
than 22c. The sale reported at 15o la
the consequence.
According to Mr. Wolf, who made tha
fiurchaae at the season's highest mark,
t has been Impossible to secure con
tracts at tic. Mr. Wolf made a trip
through tha vallev and Is said to have
com home empty-handed. (
Sale mscltea Trade.
Th sale of the hop contract her at
25c a pound has excited tha trade. Soma
time ago The Journal gave warning to I
arowers that hops should be wortn
more money and that In contracting at
prices that prevailed at that time they
were taking all the chances. . Tha result
has been Hint growers saw the wisdom
of withholding their crops from tha
market and sharp advances In the price
nave resuiieo accordingly. iirinnr nom.
Ing by growers would seemingly stlnv
ulate the trade.
Crop prospects all along the coast
are In exceedingly poor condition. The
vinos are backward and unless warm
weather appears soon there Is little
chance of tbe larger portion of the crop
maturing. mis is true or canrornia
as well as of Oroaon and Washington.
A private message to. the local dealer
states that tne yarae m Aiennocino ana

previously reported, owing to tha eon.

Salmon Ran Hotter.
Astoria. Or.. May 26. It looks a If
the run of salmon nas entered tho river
and deliveries of fish confirm it on
every man's tongue who is in touch with
th trade, except from upstream points
as far as Clifton, where, as yet there
hss been no access of th royal beauty.
Oil Bothers Fish.
Th Dalles, Or., May 26. The pres
ence of oil In the river Is believed to
be oartlv responsible for the small
catch of salmon In th Columbia at this
time. Th run to dat has consisted
principally of blue backs or sockeyes.
Bad (or Fish.
Boise, Idaho, May 26. Storms and
cold weather not only bother the fruit
growers and farmers of Ura state, but
the fish hatchery superintendents as
welL according to State Game Warden
Ben Oray, who said that 1,000,000 gga
had been taken from the Warm River
hatchery, but that the cold weather of
the past few days had stopped J.he run.
"The weather condition nave every
thing Xo-do with the fish," said Mr.
Oray. "There are few eggs obtained In
cold or stormy weather, and the fleh
are just ss liable as the grain or the
fruit trees to feel the effects of a storm.
"Stormy weather, of,t any description
has -a detrimental effect on the flsa
production. Conditions with the fish 1a
this stste are good right now, and the
outlook was never "better, but It will 1
a good thing for th hatcheries wha
the weather clears up." . v - ' " 1
