WEE1CLV OHEGON b L A 1 LiMAi, l u wurt i THE HOP MAEKET DEALERS BEPOBT- TEST U11XK CHANGE IK SITUATION. A lw LoU Hat Bees gold Vmrlmg th '! ' PmI Wk Etr Mid BaglUh Market Report (From Daily, Feb. nth.) . Local dealers m hop have very little to say these, days, regarding the move ment of the 1899 'stocks.' One of these gentlemen, who jvas yesterday seen by a representative of the Statesman, said that during the past week a Jew--lots had been sold is this vicinity ! at 5 to $y2 cents, bat that inquiries for hops were few and the market arid prices had not changed any lie expressed him self as hopeful, however, believing that ' in a short timej there would: be a better feeling in the market, and jthat higher prices would prevail. Lupulin, writing in the Mark Lane Express, of London, under j date ol January 22d, in discussing; the ; Euro pean hop market, says: ;i . I Although the course and condition Kit tne juorougn iwy uw undergone any important change dur ing the -past week, there ar not want ing signs that the firmness ot growers in resisting the pressure of merchants is producing an effect to the advantage of the former. The healthy j demand existing at the time of my report a week ago has been strengthened and somewhat developed, with- the result that the advanced prices now quoted are much more easily obtained. Col ory hops arc getting scarcer, and any . growers whose holdings "are of this character need not hesitate to ask more money for their stocks, as it I is quite clear. that .merchants will be ready to "yieldif : quotations are not too start ling. , j i j A brewing journal says I that while the position of the trade is highly un satisfactory, the severe tussle between growers and consumers must soon be decided in favor of the former, whose determined stand against prices which . they deem to be unremunerative must almost immediately make them ruler? of the market., This testimony from an observer in the opposite camp , if satisfactory and encouraging, and I agree .with his remarks, only taking exception to the .suggestion that the unremunerative character-of the pres ent prices is at all open to discussion. ' There is no possible doubt that recent rates must have brought heavy losses - to growers, however prolific jtheir cropr may have been. Therefore, for self protection, as well as for the general credit of the industry, growers should harden their hearts against j persuasion in the contrary direction, and definitely refuse to sell unless they can see some profit, which point of view will neces sitate further important advances upon the figures now current. . j. j v "The I weekly evidence of j the board of .trade - returns proves that we havr no reason to dread any influx of for eign hops. Since the opening of the , year.the. figures are substantially: lower than during the corresponding weekf nf Outward shipments of Eng lish as well as continental hops; con tinue to some extent, The tendency of the whole course of events, therefore.-points definitely to higher values. I do not hesitate to repe4t that the control of the English market is in the hands cX English growers, and tht the will only have themselves to blame iJ they do not take full advantage of their excellent position.

The brewing trade keeps itp fairly well, considerable flot being delivered on 'old 'contracts, j and some new sales making every day. (There is undoubtedly less interest on the part of exporters, which is probatory due to the difficulty in obtaining" the desirable qualities7: if the hops were better ship- Frrs would certainly take more of them radically nothing done between deal ers; not much stock ? is -offering1 and those who need additional Supplies go into the interior to . secure , them. Choice hops are already quite scarce. 1 here are few or no high grade! state left, and scarcely anything in the way of Pacific coast hops are worth! over 13c. except Sonoma. few of wbich are still bringing 13Vift1ft4c.il The bulk of the remaining lots from all sections are valued at fn-xx, while some "poor lots can be had for less.

Astorian: When Station Agent Smith at Clats kenie arrived at his office vesterday morning he found that burglars had entered the' A. & C. depot during th? night and blown open the company's safe. -Nothing of value was secured, however. The section tricycle was found missing and it is. presumed that the burglars made good their escape by ckining dow nthe road on this. There are two singular points in con nection with the affair, namely; the fact that a railroad safe at an im portant station was broken into with out anything of value being secured and. second, that there has been no evidence as to the direction the men took. No trace of the tricycle has been found and no one has yet been discov ered who had seen it pass on the road. Sheriff Linville was'promptly notified of the occurrence and' immediately set a watch for any suspicious-looking characters in this city. Up to a late hour last night, however, there was nothing discovered to indicate that the burglars had come this way. The Abolition of Prison Lockstep. To the uninitiated the Jockstep is an interesting performance. It orig inated from ihe necessity of handling large bodies of convicts as. compactly as possible. Each man's hand rests up on the shoulders while his knees fit in to the backs of the knees of the man before liim. This necessitates a -short, shuffling step, and swaying ; motion, which it is claimed seldom leaves him. For this reason its" abolition is urged. This demonstrates the power of habit. Another habit hard to get rid of is constipation; but there is a remedy that will cure this, as well as dyspepsia, indigestion and biliousness, and that is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. It is a magnificent tonic for the whole sys tem, purifying the blood and improv ing the appetite. Try it. IS NOW MAYOR. Dr." B. -L.

SHEEP VERSUS COWS. f :. : : The average value: of Lcows on the Brighton (Mass.) market of late has averaged about $40; a good sized herd, say thirty head, would fee valued at $1200 at the above rate. For $1200 about 300 good,' serviceable ewes for breeding " hot-house lambs can be bought.. V Cow stables are just the thing for sheep, , of course with parti tions, etc, removed. The food that will keep one cow will keep ten sheep, so the expense J of keeping thirty cows and 300 sheep is about i equal. At - a moderate estimate c the lamb and wool of each ewe will bring $8, or $80 for ten ewes. This is far better that the returns for the average New England cow. As to the. 'labor part of sheep rearing, theic is no milking, milk ped dling or can cleaning. j. Sheep are putin the fold in Decem ber. One m.M can look; after 300 and attend to fifteen cows .'too, and lie down or rest in an easy chair in the fold half the time and read papers, with lambs skipping all about him for the fold is always ; warm,' kept so by heat emanating from the sheep,; it being more trouble to keep the fold cool enough than warm, enough even in zero weath er. Iri going to and returning from my country seat, and seeing dairymen driv ing cows to or from; pasture, then re turning home and looking across one field from my desk window and seeing a peaceful flock of sheep grazing . or laying in the shade, which had grown hothouse lambs last winter, their own er at home on general farm' business, with no thought of the heep only to salt them once in a week, the contrast is so great the' differencef is unmeasur lble. -Dr. Galen Wilson.; SALEM MAN IN CHARGE.

"New machinery has been received t the mill for manufacturing of soap, which is largely Used in scouring wool and woolens. Heretofore .e factory has purchased all soap used,- but now this will be made right there, thus af fording a market for a large amount of tallow which will be used in the man ufacturing of this soap.1 jThe mill still has on hand a small stock of a superior grade of blankets made by this mill, but these are 'being gradually closed out; j It is the intention qf the manage ment to make a run on high grade woolen blankets than whttch no factory in the country makes a jmore superior article.

VOLUNTEERS' " M PDA LS. The following paragraph appeared in yes terday's Orcgonian: "The boring out of the Spanish gun captured at Manila has-been completed at the Willamette Iron WqrkSj and 128 pounds of borings are the result. This is enough to make medals for all thq Second Oregon vol unteers, i and some over. General Summers is considering the idea of us ing the surplus to makei several thous and trophies, in the shape of lapel buttons, to 'be sold for the benefit of the monument fund. Ifr is not every one- who can wear, a medal made from the Spanish gUn. but many would like to have a bit of it as a souvenir, and in this way quite an addition might be made io;the monument fund."

Pendleton East Orcgonian: J A number of wheat raisers havej dis posed of a considerable ; amount, f wheat to the Pendleton roller (mills since the-middle of Jast week.! It has all been of a select quality, " and. - iit some instances, the price paid; is. said to have been as high as '45 and 46 ccnti per bushel, according to the qual ity of the product. Most of the wheat has been brought in by farmers north of town, and Saturday was probably the heaviest hauling day. j It was given out; at the mill that the bulk of the wheat brought in was some that' was contracted for during the harvest! sea son. The sellers said the price wn$ between 40 and 46 cents, but that lonly a limited amount was brought np at that price., Just cxactly: the . amount purchased by, the mill could riot be as pertained, but there -was not a suffici ent quantity to cause any great flurry among wheat men. Should there .Jtapt pen to be a genral demand for wheat at 45 cents, a great manyjwho are;now holding on would no doubt dispose of a large amount. Helix parties sayd that very little wheat has been sola there since harvesting. Hearing of the "price being paid by the mill here, a number tried to dispose of fheir holdings at a similar price, but the mill refused to take any more than they had already contracted: for. 'While the riiajrrity are anxious to sell their wheat as soon as possible, they will not do so at prices now being offered by local rlcal crs. They say the market is bound to raise, and they will hold on as long as they cah. j ; HOT AFTER TIMBER LAND. Ashland Tidings: j The rush for timber lands ' in the country cast, of Ashland keeps up, and serves to recall the large sied limlwf land boom of a few years past. An in cident which took place1 at Iakevicw last week shows the anxiety to obtain timber land in the section of country tributary to the Klamath; river. Two timber land parties Arrived in Iake view, after a ncck-and-neck race from Klamath Falls, and filed on , seven tracts of timber land about 10 miles west from Klamath Falls, and near Buck lake. One of the parties was from California, and got 12 hours the start of the other, which was an Ore gon party, but the latter, won with fly ing colors. The Oregon party con sisted of H. H. Van VaJkenberg ' and wife; R, II. 'Mcllmois and Mrs. K. Taylor, all of Klamath Falls. The Cal 'forn ia party consisted of J. 1 1 ay worth and Mike Gillis, of Pecard, Cal.. and Andrew McKee, of Ruby, California. The California party (had seen the. Ore gon party surveying the lands, and started ot to head them. off. but the Oregon people "got wind f, their pur pose 13 hours later, and, although composed half of women, by traveling day and night and making a dash passed them on the road and were first to arrive at the land office.
