Hop Prices up 2 to 3 Cents PORTLAND, Aug. 29-P)-Hop ' prices jumped two and three cents a pound to 62 cents to growers for regular 1942 seeded species during the week, the 4epaxtrnent of agriculture estimated Saturday. Some buyers reportedly offered f 5 cents a pound for options on seedless, but most of the 1942 crop had been contracted, so the bids largely were nominal. Although some downy mildew appeared, causing some grower apprehension, picking progressed '". during the week. Irregular yields, ranging light in the Grants Pass area ' to fairly heavy in Willam ette valley were reported. The la bor supply has been fair,- but a larger supply will be required for the late variety harvest.
