OUTLOOK IS EXCELLENT : ?, - . v Bums, Or. It is reported that wool buyers representing Boston firms are lt this section trying to contract this season's clip, but have not met with fcuccess. The wool fien are pretty well satisfied with conditions at present and look for ftn advance, in fact buyers are offering more now for wool than was 'paid. last year. build' New cheese plant ' 'Jm ' I Nehalmr Or.

LITTLE TRADE NOW : AVAILABLE FOR HOPS Both Spot and Contract Market Is Slow and Weak; No Orders ; Are Coming Forward. Although dealers report only about 36,000 bales of hops unsold In the United States at this time, the market is extremely sluggish. V. W. Teater.1 of Independence, is reported the seller of 82 bales but the price or buyer is not- known. The extreme top of the market at this time is 17c a pound and few buyers are willing to pay above 16c and even at that figure the mar ket is extremely quiet. Contracting is at a standstill with 14c a pound about the highest price available and few orders in at that price. Growers are showing a tendency to offer both spot and contract goods more freely.

Our city market drags along wearily. Now and then a brewer Induced to take on some stock, but the demand Is of a sluggish character, and there is enough pressure to sell to keep the feeling weak and unsettled.
