tract Market Is Firm.
While there Is a oulet tone In the
hop trade generally, a fair amount of
business has recently passed at lower
prices. The extreme top quotation at
this time is 17 hie a pound and it takes
exceptionally good quality to bring that
price at tne moment. in fact, some
very good primes were sold, during the
last 24 hours at 17c a nound. John
Hackett of McMinnville is reported the
seller or 141 Dales to uvesiey at 17c
Lee Loy sold 271 bales of No. 1 hops
to Klaber. Wolf & Netter at 17 c top
ping the market, while a lot of- 44
bales was reported sold at Newberg
around 17c.
There Is a difference of opinion
among the .trade regarding the con
tract market. ' Some report that noth
ing above 14o is available, but It is
known that growers are hot willing to
eo below 15c. .

that the southern state is expected to

FAMILY -WORRIED BY
MAN'S DISAPPEARANCE
The prolonged absence of John D.
Mann; the attorney, from his home in
this city is causing his family and
friends much anxiety. No word of his
whereabouts has come since last Mon
day, when he was seen on --the street
near the Chamber of Commerce build
ing. Inquiry has been made- without
avail at his accustomed haunts. It is
the general opinion of his friends that
Mr. Mann has met no untoward fate,
but is visiting somewhere in the coun
try, and they are very hopeful that he
will make his presence known soon.
When last seen he expressed himself
as worried over business matters, it is
said, and it is thought that he decided
to take -a vacation, and not wishing to
be disturbed left no address.
