HOP LIARKET IS SOARING Has Reached the Twenty-Five Cent Notch and Is . . , : Strong SALES HAVE BEEN REPORTED AT THIS FIGURE IN OREGON AND CALIFORNIA AND , RUMORS ', OF , SKVERAL OFFERS AFLOAT:rilE OUTLOOK GOOD. ! From Wednesday Dally.) No" little. excKement' was created 'in this city yesterday when the news was heralded in hop circles to the "effect that the firm 'of KIrkpatfkk & Wil Hams, of Dallas, had 'purchased an ag gregate, 300 bales C. hops, from wnre ii4iia growers at.za cents, per lund, thef highest price yet paid for the 1302 cropi This, t jAketi together with the act that this firm la agent solely for English dealers, creates no mue stimulus to.the market, as En- gnn oraers were looked forward to with no little Interest a?id hopefulness. and this Is the first order to be Oiled for the English market, lleretofore 'the growers have been holding- out "firmly for 25 cents,, but now they are flinging on ''tenaciously' for even a higher fig ure, with every hope of realizing their figure.v The spirit of speculation has imbued the ; growers this nelson and they are determined to get every cent for, their hops that they are worth.; , The California market appears to be slightly in advance of the Oregon mar ket in that a report cornea from that district to i the effect that a lot of 250 bales was wld In Sororria" county foi 25 cents, on Saturday last. 'A later report has , been received Since the above, which Is to the effect that the 300-bale lot which wag pur--chasevlvby) Kirkpatrick & Wlllams, of Dallas, was one In which the latter firm held more: than a two-thirds Interest, and that the third party Interested, a Chinaman? lessee, who was holding at 25 cents, was advanced his price, and 'the llrm will hold the hops on specula- tlon. This fact does not make much , change In the situation ' since several 25 cent offers have been rumored of late, and the top notch may be placed at -that figure safely. - - Numerous sule.s have been reported recently' for prices ranging from 22 cents to 23!4 cents and better, as fol lows:;'""' ; " . ...

' i ' ;-'-.'';"; " A prominent Salem .dealer told n Statesman reporter yesterday that the market may reliably be, reported at 23 cents or prime greenish, and 25 cents.- for choice. , " The market reporter of the Gregonian i I retorted yesterday: "The hbp market has taken n turn for the tyorse. The tone is decidedly weaker, and dealers look, for a decline. The occasion for the change Is the drop abroad. Pri vate advices reported German markets lower and the London market in the buyers' favor." But notwithstanding these . "prlvafe advices," which are probably the private advices of a tbear on the market, the tone of the hop market here In Oregon Is dec! than It was a ffUSL-da ngo. and more; satisfactory-than before this season. It miknow be-quoted at 23 cents for !chnVe,and it has not been possible to ho rejfrt K heretofore this season, though tWat offer was made In on" or two cases; -, The Kent Messenger, one of the 'leading-English authorities on hops, in its Issue of September 20th, has the following:'.

In thU estimate It will be seen that the worlil'b consumption for 1902 is put 375.COO hundredweights.- above the world's production for the season Just closed. " It ,ould appear that this i au thority on hops believes there will be .ome tall hustling for supplies by the consumers of hops especially in view of the fact that the supplies of old hops were almost exhausted before the i.ew supply began to be, drawn upon.
