Wheat started ?-?. cent hieher despite the fact that Ion; expected bearish crop estimates were due 30 minutes later. The gains -were almost erased later by profit tak ing, but short covering checked the decline and prices ; never reached Thursday's closing levels. At the close, wheat was V.-li cent above Thursday's finish, May July 80-90Vs. Shearing Nearly Finish; Crops : Reported Good . BRUSH CREEK Sheepmen in the district are reDortin that shearing is nearing . completion. Fleeces have been very good this year and top market prices, rang ing from 41 to 43 cents have been received. .i To date no reports of , early lambs being sold has been made. Sheepmen are hoping to get in on some of he early market top price, but report that lambs were down one cent a' pound this week as compared to a week ago. Crops are looking unusually good through the district this spring, with some rain reported needed.

Prices quoted to growers for both spot supplies and future deliveries from the hew crop held at about unchanged levels compared with other re cent weeks. Crop prospects - in producing areas of the three west coast states were reported as gen erally favorable, although some reports of downy mildew and missing hills In some areas were received. . Oregon markets held - about steady although trading was of only- moderate to light volume Growers were not pressing either old crop supplies or new crop futures for sale, and " this tended to offset the rather . slow inquiry from buyers. Some small sales of 1940 regular seeded hops were re ported during the past week at prices ranging from 23 cents to 25 cents per pound, net grow ers,' according, to quality and size of lots. As the period ended, , deal ers were offering around ,26. cents per pound but with growers most ly holding for "higher prices. Some contracts covering 1941 crop regu lar type seeded clusters were re ported, on the basis of 28 cents per pound to growers with deal ers continuing to offer this price for additional contracts as the period ended. While no contracts covering seedless hops were re ported consummated during the past week, nominal values on this quality were being placed at around 35 cents to 37 cents per pound to growers. Trade advices indicated the new crop conditions in this state are generally fair to good, although reports continue to indicate some missing hills and downy mildew infestation.
