It was an old custom. . and still ob served in some places, to light bon fires ot straw or brush on that night to drive away the spirits of darkness supposed to be hovering in the air, but the night watch and the moon made it unnecessary to follow this custom Tuesday evening, and probab ly for this reason little mischief was done. A pleasant time was enjoy ed at the party, it is said, and for tne most part Halloween in Inde penednce was an ordinary occasion. The hop market In this section has shown more activity In the lagt few dayg than ever before. Several lotx have been sold at 42 cents, and they Include tho lots of Sioper & Pat ton, consisting of 162 bales, and Walker Hros., consisting 0f 467 baieg. The market at present Is stable at 42 cents, but there Is an acute up ward tendency and a great many of the local growers are holding lor a larger price. tr. A. M. Lawson, who is direct from London and Is representing the English trade, is now on the ground and Is the man who has made tho big buys at 42 cents. In speaking of the prospects for higher prices, Mr. Lawson said to a representative of the Enterprise, ''You can say that the hop price hag not reached its maximum as yet, and hop prices will undoubtedly .go t0 45 cents by the end of the present week, and will go to fifty cents before the end of the year, The scarcity of hops is felt and realized in England. Their crop was short as was the entire buropenn cr0p, and It is absolutely necessary that we have hops," said th buyer, "therefore we have come into the Oregon market and are prepared to pay the price." Mr. Lawson will be In the city un til the end of the local market or about three weeks and will go from here to California. On Thursday c. A. McLaughlin and Mrs. J. H. Burton both sold their entire lots, with the exception of 50.000 pounds which McLaughlin sold early n the season. The two lots comprised 1167 bales of Mc Laughlin's and about 365 bales of Mrs. Burton's. The price on an was 42 cents. They were sold to Louis Lachmund and Carmlchael d( London, and. are being shipped direct to Eng land from here. A great many of the local growers have disposed of most of their hops, either by contracts, most of which have been delivered, or have sold to buyers direct. The hops that are being bought for the English market are being loaded here as fast as possible, and are being- shipped direct to London. The 1912 hop market opened Wed- ueBuuy, Mcivetr uros. closed a con tract with the Yakima Securities Co.. 'or 120,000 pounds of Yakima hops U 20 cents. Buyers are reported to be offering 20 cents on 5 year contracts. There is no weakness in the hop market In any quarter, says the Ore- gonian of recent date. Buyers this week offered 41 cents freely for good no better than prlme, and there were sales at this figure of hops that graded considerably below prime. Choice quality was firm at 42 cents per pound or better, but ho sales at these prices were reported. The demand was strong and the All the) local H. L.
