Hon practically over the buying
market is active here, although the
MRtcrn market In SHU rainei
quiet. However, from Indications,
with the crop shorter than origin'
oily estimated and buyers scurry.
Ing around there seems every like
llhuod that all of the prunes
around hero will be sold by grow
era at good prices ana in unori or
ler. -
The crop Is running strong to
30s, in fact with the italiuns the
within a range of 10 points, mom
ly from 35 to 40 and houio prunes
are drvlnir out nfl high ufi
nnnmlH tu a bushel, tho average
runninir about 20 pound, Forties
irA reuorted to bo short.
The average prices being paid to
growers for Italiuns run around
about as follows: OH for 30-35,
8ft for SSfiMO, 7 for 40-4!iH and
8li for 45W503. Even bettor prices
are being paid for some choice lots
and petiti3 run about a nnu or
three garters -of a cent a pound
A number of pack era have stuff
ordered to go out on certain boats
and this is making present ouying
exceedingly active, accoruint? m
word coming in from tho orchards,
It Is considered likely that the
bulk of Oregon prunes this year
will bo sold directly Into domestic
markets, although Home have been
bought for export, but tho expor
business will not size up, even pro
portionately, to anything like that
enjoyed last year when Germany
absorbed great quantities or Amor
lean prunes.
In drying thlsN year a peculiar
condition existed In that tho early
Btuff dried out as well as the hit
er stuff, which Is an unusual sit
uation.
There are practically no scabby
crimes observable nnd quality pre
vails In the present crop. with
prunes running to a very heavy
ugar content.
It Is considered too early yet to
plve any definite Idea as to the
exact total of this year's crop In
this section, although growers are
reducing their Ideas quite mater
tally. This, however. Is an axiom
Uiat growers reduce their ideas on
a light crop, after drying, and In
erense their ideas In a heavy crop
rear.
Canners were very active this
year In buying green prunes ami
great quantities of them went to
tho canneries at a price averaging
around $40 a ton.

HOP CROP IN
W. H. and IT. I,eMy. English
hn brokers, In bluing nn nnnual
circular to the trade covering the
hop sltunltnn in Kngmnu declare
a full average will be picked nl
though some yards were hard hit
by heat In midsummer.
The circular says:
We have made nn extensive In
s pert Ion of all the hop-growing dls
trlcts, and we nro in the opinion
that, with the Improvement which
has taken place during tho last
few weeks there will be a full av
era go crop of fine hops picked
The hop plant In the early pnrt of
the weapon was visited by a severe
attack of aphis, but, by the up to
date methods of washing and pnw
derlng, this was mastered before
any serious damage was done, and
wo feel confident that the crop a
a wholo will be of excellent qunl-
lly, very sound and clean. Th
Holding hops enjoyed the spell of
hot weather and are In splendid
condition. But many of the gur
(lens n the Weald nnd Sussex fiuf
fered considerably from the great
heat of the latter part of June and
July; the rains rame In time, h
ever, to be of value to the plant.
Worcester and Hereford yards arc
very various; some gardens pro
durini; a full average, others very
light, which also applies to Furrcy
and Hampshire, hut all have bene
fitted by the rains. The general
run of the bine Is on (he flight
Idc, nnd therefore the cones nrr
of splendid development, having
had the full benefit of the sun
We nro pleased to say that there
Is a grndual Increase In the bar-
re la ge taking place, but the pre
sent output does not warrant an
Increase in tho acreage of hops
The hop control expired on the

ratifying to all growers to know
that t lie government have recog

placing a 4 pound per cwt. duty

Of great benefit to the Kngllsh
growers, as It will prevent cheap
foreign hops being dumped on our

to form a company for the co

PRINTS STEADY
Portland, Sept. 21 Although
there Is mill a dearth o! cream in
this market, prospects of an ad
vanco In print prices are very re
mote. This Ifl tho general opinion
expressed by local butter makers
this morning. While it is true tnat
production is very low and cream
erics running far under their nor
mal capacity, the range between
fat prices and what tney are actu
ally getting tor prints, la so great
that little or no profit can be
made.
Some of the creamery trade le
openly complaining about fat
prices as high as fi&c and 65c In
this market while prints sell
around 52 u to &3c. They go fur
ther and stale ns long as this con
dition ex there will be no fur
ther Increase In print price.
liutteiTat ll a.s been nigh all sea
son and dairymen have come Into
their own. With production hard
ly sufficient to meet this market's
requirements, tho dairymen have
enjoyed top prices, quite a change

the dairymen hard.

Prof. E. S., Salmon, an English
expert, who has been conducting
extensive trials in England with
new varieties of hops has issued a
bulletin covering the various trials
made, and the bulletin contains a
summary of the experiments as ful
lows:
1. Of the one hundred and eleven
varieties tested, no less than
twenty-nine cropped at the rate of
over 30 cwt. to the acre. Of the
early varieties, the three heaviest
cropping were the new varieties
1,53 with 3-1 cwt., and L21 and
458 with cwt.; the highest
commercial variety, the Uramllng,
was tenth on the list, with 26
cwt. Of tho mldseason hops, tho
Aintnon was top. with 37 14 cwt
followed by the new variety L40
with 36 cwt. Of the late hops, tho
new varieties OH8 nnd OG1 crop
ped at the rate of 3 cwt. and 34 Mi
cwt. respectively, followed by the
Colgate, with 33 cwt.
2. Hops "weighed lighter" In
1924 than In 1923. The number
or bushels (Imperial) of green
hops required to tho cwt. of dried
hops varied in the new varieties
from 78 to 137, and in the com
merclal varieties from 92 to 132.
3. In all the classes (early, mid
season, nnd late) certain new seed
ling varieties were preferred by the
judges I any of the commercial
varieties.
4. Except in the class of earlv
hops, many of the new seedling va
rieties produced a higher Dei-cent
age of both soft and total resins
man tne commercial varieties test
ed.
6. One new variety, viz.. OK3S
produced 20.53 per cent total
osliiB and 12.22 per cent soft
resins, an Increase of 0.8C and 0.87
per cent respectively, over the rich
est American hop tested, and of
d.j ami J. SO per cent respective
ly, over tho richest English com
mercial variety tested.
6. A somewhat severe outbreak
of tho "mosaic" disease occurred
during 1924. the number of hills
affected being 13.2 per cent In the
commercial varieties, and 1.9 per
eni in ine now varieties. Manv of
iut! new varieties, nnu the com
mercial variety Kuggle.s, have prov
u io DC completely resistant to this
disease.
7. In common with other tmr-
dens and nurseries In Kent, those
u ine research station experienced
visitation of the "Uownv Mil-
lew" of tho hop.

Dried fruit shipping is especial
ly active Just now and new crop
goods are going forward In volume
in most of the varieties at this
time, says the California Fruit
News.
Drying weather lias not been ns
satisfactory throughout California
as would be liked, as It has been
too cool In many sections. We have
been visited by some early showers
nnd growers have had to stack
couple of times during the last
week In nearly all the districts,
Tills also retards drying, although
no material damage has been done
by the rainfall, which has been
light and of short duration. In
western Oregon nnd Washington,
however, they have had some
heavy rains during the recent pn.it
and some Interference with prune
drying has been experienced there,
We do not know at thi writing
just how much damage has been
done. But in view of their very
snort prune crop there already, It
ia to be hoped that there will be no
material loss of tonnage.
mere Is not a ereat deal of new
business doing in California just at
tho moment in dried fruits, the
main concern of operators, here
now being In shipping out previ
ously bought goods, in tho mean
time, values are, in the main, un
