Export demand for American hops also continued good from areas usually placing requirements in Europe. Strength in the hops market on the west coast was being attributed to the continued active demand and re luctance of growers to accept cur rent bids on both spot supplies and contracts for later deliveries. Oregon markets continued very firm on both spots and contracts. Trading in the spot market con tinued to be restricted somewhat by light offerings from growers despite advances of around one cent per pound on regular seeded type 1941 stocks. Sales were reported dorinr the week at 40 cents to 41 cents per pound net growers for regu lar 1941 hops In this state. Val ves on 1941 seedless types were placed around 48 cents "per pound to growers. Prices on both seeded and seedless hops from the 1941 crop were at the highest points as the period ended.

While no transactions were reported during the week, values on 1942 seedless hops were placed at about 48 cents per pound to growers. Washington hop markets were also very firm with an active de mand and light offerings from growers. Transactions during the period included around 500 bales of 1941 crop regular seeded hops which netted Yakima valley grow ers 40 cents, down to 35 cents per pound according to quality, the lower values being for off quality lots. Around 350 bales of 1942 seeded hops were reported contracted re cently at a little in excess of 32 cents per pound to growers. 600 bales of 1942 crop seedless hops also were contracted at 42 cents down to 32 cents per pound, ac cording to seed content at time of delivery.
