Dealers Interested . Oregon hop markets maintain ed the firm tone of the previous week.' Although largely" nominal because of the extremely small quantities remaining in growers hands, prices on 1941 crop hops were "generally considered about unchanged at the seasonal high points. Interest in contracting of 1942 crop hops remained active but actual commitments were restrict ed by lack of offerings from grow ers. Bids to producers for regular seeded 1942 crop hops were firm at around 37 cents per pound net. For seedless hops from the 1942 crop, around 43 per pound was be ing offered growers, on a sliding scale with discounts according to seed content. With an estimated more than half of the 1942 Oregon hop crop already under contract, growers were not offering freely, with some uncertainty regarding pro duction costs and availability of supplies needed to produce the crop important considerations. However, the undertone of the market on 1942 crop hops appear ed very firm as the period ended. A firm tone prevailed in Wash ington markets during the week. Spot stocks of 1941 hops in the Yakima valley area in strictly growers hands were reported at less than 100 bales, mostly of low er quality.

For 1941 crop regular seed ed hops 36 cents per pound was being offered but growers were reluctant to make commitments and no deals were reported. California hop markets remain ed firm with light offerings from growers meeting fairly active de mand. Recent price advances were well maintained both in the spot and contract markets. Trading in 1941 hops was restricted by the small supplies in first hands but Sonoma county growers reported sales of 142 bales at 37-37 cents per pound. The New York hop market maintained a firm tone with prices steady. Trading was slow on spot hops due to short 1941 stocks and growers holding tend ency. Contracting was reported on 1942 hops at 36-37 cents for regulars and 42-43 cents for seed less, but growers were reported as not selling freely. On February 25, regular 1941 crop Pacific coast hops were quoted to the trade at New York at 47-49 cents; seedless at 57-59 cents per pound, with other stocks nominal.
