GUfs Oregon Hop Mart Moderately Active; Report Given on Central Em'opean Acreage Pacific coast hop markets continued to be featured by seas onal dullness during the week ended May 21, according to the weekly hop market review of the agrictiltural marketing service. Demand was slow and offerings light biit a generally steady tone was maintained. While domestic use of hops apparently was fully seasonal, domestic dealers and Industries were filling current needs from supplies accumulated earlier in the season and this tended to restrict current demand In the, spot market. Crop reports continued to show somewhat ir regular conditions prevaling in various producing districts of the three west coast states and pro gress will depend greatly upon weather conditions in the hear future. ! j r OREGON: Hop markets in Ore gon were only moderately active during the period under review. Trade reports indicated sales of 1940 hops were made by growers in this state during the past sev en days at prices ranging from 23c to 24c per pound net, varia tion depending upon quality and size of lots. The 24c price was paid for one carload of 1940 clus ters. Some contracts covering reg ular seeded type hops from the 1941 crop were reported jvritten during the week at 25c per pound for fuggles. Nominal values on regular seeded clusters were placed at about 26c per pound net to growers. For seedless hops from the 1941 crop, nominal values were indicated around 37c per pound to growers. Trade estimates regarding condition of the grow ing crop in Oregon indicate some downy mildew in widely scattered areas. While no Extensive damage is reported as yet, it is generally felt that some ' damage has oc curred. The infestation for the most part has been limited to por tions. of the vine near the soil. Growers have been busy remov ing the spikes ' and in some in stances the vines have been cut back. Weather is now more favor able and the extent of the infes tation is expected to be apparent within the next few days. j , Washington markets developed These schedules are snpplied by uie respective 1 stations.

Trade reports indicate sales by growers in that area of around 100 bales of prime 1940 clusters at 2ZViC and about 100 bales of medium qual ity clusters from the same growth at 19,Hc 20 c per pound net growers, with .dealers bidding around these levels as the period ended. Three contracts covering around 375 bales of regular seeded hops from the 1941 crop were re ported written at 26c per pound to growers. One contract covering 300 bales of 1941 seedless hops ras reported at 40c down to 26c per pound, according to seed con tent when delivered. Further of fers of 26c for seeded contracts were made but there are only a few growers remaining who have not contracted their prospective crop and there were mostly hold ing for around 30c per pound. Cold, windy weather was retarding growth of vines in the Yakima valley, especially late trained yards. No sales or offers were re ported; in the Puyallup valley of Western Washington. Growers there were mostly awaiting fur ther crop and market develop ments,! with some asking from 25c to 30c per pound for 1941 crop fuggles. Some downy mildew was reported as the result of recent rains, i Trading was practically at a standstill in California hop mar kets during the past week reflect ing seasonally slow demand from dealers and industries and small offerings from growers. The gen eral market tone however, was quite ; steady and prices of both spot hops and 1941 crop for fu ture delivery were quoted nom inally j unchanged compared with other: recent weeks. California growers having already sold prac -tically. all of the 1940 crop and much bf the prospective 1941 out turns were not pressing for ad' ditional sales. The New York hoD market con tir.ued quiet but steady. Prices were firm and unchanged, with seme: hand-to-mouth buying re ported. Foreign hoDs were dull and nominal. On May 21, regular 1940 4 stocks" were quoted to the trade at New York at 35c 37c; seedless at 49c 51c: 1939 stocks at 25c 28c; seedless nominal; and 1938 - stocks at 18c and 20c per "pound. ,'M. -: -H- According to information recent ly received by foregn relations there appears to be little change in the hop acreage in Germany proper in 1941 except that all ar eas will be required to reduce acreage the 15 per cent ordered but not completed in 1940. . Under the order issued by the Central Association of German brewers, all hops unsold on De cember 5, 1940, were to be turned over to the German hop marketing association. After the middle of December, 1S40, hop merchants are required to buy supplies from this association while breweries buy from the distributing firms. Neith er the breweries nor the merchans may -buy direct from the produc ers. By the end of January, the marketing association had the bal ance of the crop on its hands and also - had taken over about 800 metric tons from the Alsatian hop marketing association. Earlier in the season there were complaints that breweries were not taking the quantity agreed up on but they began to increase their purchases in February and by the middle of March it was re ported that most breweries had taken their quotas. , Relative to the Droduction of hops in Belgium, no official sta tistics are available but trade es timates place the Belgian acreage in 1940 at 1700 acres and produc tion at 950 metric tons. The aual- ity of the Belgian crop was re ported generally poor. About 15 per cent of the crop was reported exported to France with the re mainder used within the country. Few Rails - L See Rally ; Confidence Increases but Doubters Still Hold Mart Down ; . NEW 'YORK, May 23-(F-A little more confidence returned to the stock market but there still were enough doubters' to keep any worthwhile rally from developing. While a few rails, rubbers, avi ations and specialties managed to edge' forward, numerous leaders finished an apathetic, session in the minus column.
