A few sales are being made at 26 to 2& cents tor the best quality. Dealers have no hops to sell and order have to be filed from growers' stocks. The grow ers are strong in their ideas tnd It is difficult to buy. Most of the new orders are coming from east em brewers. An order was recently issued by the British hop control board per mining the Importation Into Eng land ot one-half of the Oregon bops bought on contract by Eng lish firms, and some of these bops are now bejng shipped. Other lots will not go forward until after the first of the year, when it is under stood freight rates will be reduced. There has ben no spot buying yet tor British account. The English brewers are mak lng a strong effort to have the hop control board, the last of the gov ernment controls, abolished, but me growers, lor whose protection it was instituted. Insist that it be retained. As the board has fixed the brewers' buying price for this season at about 20 pounds per nunaredweight, the growers will naturally strive for a maintenance of the high price, and what will help the English grower will also help the grower on the Pacific coast.
