There is1 every indication of a very
strong tone In the hop market .for the
coming crop. . Stocjks In the hands of
ureweca are alarmingly nmiiea anu nyec
ulHtors have but few bales to their ac
count even at this time and the present
ers son lias a number or months to run.
While it is too early to tell definitely
now tne DianiB wintered, in Home local
quartern there is a tendency to consider
me 11 umber or missing mils as increas
ing j nis condition is - not by any
means a general one, but it ' indicates
that the crop will be spotted from the
present out loo K. ,
stocks of nojm throughout Europe and
me cnitea states were never so ue
tileted as at the present time. Thero
Iibm been only a nominal interest in tne
'market for spot goods .duiing lecent
we-'ks for the rtason that there was but
a nominal amount of goods available for
tne trade, and these were in extremely
tttrotiK linds..' ; -
Contracts are. showing no change in
price and a fair degree of activity is
noted generally at Ho a pound. Con
sidering the faet that contracts only call
for prime goods as a rule, this figure is
a Very good one. Those that grow the
tetter cms ci nops are naturally not
desirous of tielng up their production
thus early in the season.

New York Market Itises Quickly
With Short CoveringHeavy
Buying of Copper '
New York,. April 21.r There was a
very sharp advance In the security
market today under the leadership of
the metal shares and Union Pacific.
There was heavy btivlnaLOf metal abroad
and this caused good buying both at
home and in Europe. , , .
Biiort covering was tne principal rea-
ture of the trade after the opening, the
market being : otherwise featureless.
There were no important decisions of
the supreme court today. -
The extension or the time limit al
lowed for the dissolution of the 'Union
Pacific-Southern Pacific merger gave
the market a stronger trend during the
day. ....--..'..,
At the offices of J. P. Moresn A Co.
(t was announced totday that all of the
New York Central notes had been sub
scribed for. .

reasou to date,
Year ago
By Hymau II. Cohen.
The most liberal estimate available
today does not place wheat stocks in tie
hands of Pacific northwest farmers at
over 3,000,000 ' bushels. .This is stock
that Is available for market. There is
quite a fair supply 'of grain on hand
that has not yet been sown.
In the Walla Walla country only
about 250,000 bushels are said to be re
maining and in the country surrounding
Pendleton stocks are almost too limit
ed to consider. On the Oregon Trunk
line, up the Deschutes, there are said to
be bin four carloads of wheat left for
market. At Goldendale, Wash., there is
no wheat to be had.. In the Big Bend
wneat stocks are almost cleaned ou
and there Is scarcely enough wheat re
naming at Idaho points to establish
market.
...The "situation in the grain trade I
therefore, the strongest of the present
season to date, -uxport-demana contin
nes to eclipse all previous markets and
bids for club have been advanced to 87c
a bushel while bluestenx is being quqted
at 98 Vic. - Demand ts beat for the ciu
owing to the huge business for this va
riety offered by Europe.
There is still four months for th
present season's demand, therefore it
is not unlikely that famine of wheat will
be shown here before the new crop is
available for grinding. .
There is a firmer tone in the coarse
grain markets with prices showing p-ac
tlcally no change. A. message- from, Mon
tana to a local house this morning stat
ed that stocks of oats there are lim
ited with the price advancing. It would
cost $31.50 to land Montana oats on the
coast today, .

Salem, Or., April 21. Assistant At-,
torney General" an. Winkle 'rendered "an
opinion today to John Frawley, treasJ
urer or Lnlon county, that county funds
deposited with banks under the prj-.
visions of the new law which will go
into effect June 3 will draw 2 per cent
interest: There was confusion over this
owing to the fact that in the body of th0
law the rate of J per cent was named.
while In the form of the bond . the
amount was placed at 1 per cent. Mr.
Van Winkle held that the rate in the
body of the law would apply, as the
other was merely a form indicating the
manner ot drawing the bond.
