Strong tfforta of bear Interests who are short are having their effect, and' everywhere the market shows' a soggy condition, .. Contracts are reported- very dull lo cally, and few sales are reported. These are generally at 17l8c a pound. .From London comes the report that the mar ket there continues to fall almont every day. and the Drlce Is now about $180 and $170 per hundredweight for hops that were worth $240 per hundredweight at their- maximum during the sea son. There is a, very small trade there,-not-enough to keep the market steady. Crop conditions ar gradually Improving, and the yield now promises to be a good average one. From Saaz, Buhemia, a late report says that the new hop orop Is making good progress. A good many planta tions show very rich, giving hope of the production of a good crop. For this reason there is little demand for spot hops there, practically no demand being shown at the moment. The' present quotation on Saaz hops Is $180 and $2U0 or Crowns, Bohemian Crowns being quoted at $150 and $1S0. Offers of old hops are exceeding the demand, with owners willing to accept whatever price is available. This is expected to have an effect upon the price of the tiw crop when it enters the market. The plants are making progress, most of the vines being up to the, top of the poles, while in some places the flowers have gone into the burrs. Austrian hops are quoted at $140 and $1!)0. Locally the situation Is mixed resrard the new crop.- While general prospects are good, there are many yards In which vermin is so plentiful that the expected yield will not materialize. This damage fs""'"nnftMrmTBs'nyto,'s"Bnvmotr; Mount Angel and Woodburn sections, where there are many Small growers who are waiting for hot weather to come and kill the vermin. Little spray inr is shovn there. In the Aurora and St. Paul sections and around Salem the t yards are tn wood shaperwrth-spraylnR general. On the west side, around Inde- pennencc h nn uHiiuii, wis cunuiwuu ui lu plants is excellent. In the" Yakima country the crop is so heavy that one. 80 acre yard has fallen, owing to the heavy weignt. The yards are generally free of vermin. In ranrorpia prospects continue goon with indications of the heaviest yields known In the Sacramento, Yolo and Mendocino sections. It Is stated that some of the yards, will go two tons to the acre, and that the plants are free of vermin. New York state advices are very much mixed as to extent of the, crop. , PUYALLCP HOPS HEAVY Indications Point to BnnirF'CropT Vermin SituatlonBetter. Puyallup. Wash., Aug. 7. G. N. Graf ton, who was practically reared in the hop fields of Puyallup and Is now one of the leading hop buyers of the Yakima valley, where he represents eight prom inent eastern buyers, was here this week sizing up the hop situation. He found the acreage so mirch in creased over last year and tha yield per acre so promising that for the first time since the introduction of hops into this valley they will be handled through an agency established at North Yakima for that express purpose. Jack Mc Neff of the firm of McNeff Brothers, hop dealers of Portland, accompanied Grafton on his trip. Discussing the hop prospects for this year in the Puvallup valley. Grafton savs: "Last year there were raised and marketed In th Puyallup valley 9 I close to 10.000 bales of hops. This year. owing to the high prices for hops which prevailed lawt year, many berrv niaa have been planted to hops, and 1 look for an Increase in the total crop that will run anywhere from 25 per cent to 50 per cent. The yield per acre will in all probability be above the average. deNplte the early appearance of lice. The growers put up a persistent, and I be lieve successful fight, against the pest, and at the present time the prospective lose from this source la very small." During his discussion of the hop sit uation Grafton mentioned the Koehler flel near Ortlng, which he declared to he tne finest field of hops ho had ever seen and which he predicts will yield one and three-quarter tons per acra MAY WHEAT GETS A SETBACK IN CHICAGO Chicago, Aug. 7. While there was a fractional advance' In the price of tepteinber wheat today, the May lost He at the closing, December being un changed. A special from Braddoek, N. P., says that a hall storm destroyed all grain crops within two miles of that place. General crop news was of favorable trend and this was the bearish feature of the day. The advance in September was due to the covering by local shorts early in the day. Range of Chicago prices furnished by Overbeck A Cooke Co.: WHEAT Ope High. Low.

The great scarcity of calves in tha local market this season has kept the price even higher than Us usual differential with cattle. Examination of the receipts of calves at North Portland for the first seven months of. 1912 showa a loss 1714 head, compared with arrivals of the same pe riod lu J 91 1. Thla decrease was ehowB in spite of the strenuous efforts that are being made oy a local meat company to tuko thlu class of business away from the dressed meat trade of Front street.
