Hop Market Is Slowly Recovering From Late Depression When Orders Were Withdrawn. Tie hop market continues weak, and bo business is being done as a result of the temporary weakness, but it is though, by dealers that the situation is now improving, and will soon be as lively as it has been this season. The weakness in prices and orders failed to cause' hops to more from the hands of dealers and growers by stampeding them, as was expected, and this being the case, brewer3 are expected to come into the market, again at values com parative with conditions. As an evi dence of the improvement, -the sale of a 100 bale lot of hops of medium to prime grade in North Yakima the lat ter part of last week for 26? cents is rited. This is considered a fair price for that grade. Also the fact that Squire Farrar lart week shipped two car loads of hops to New York, - which were purchased from local dealers, and could not have been secured for less than the present ruling market price of 28 cents for choice, and less for poorer grades. The greatest weakness is manifested in tho contract market, the quotations being IS cents for futures. No busi ness was written at this figure, as growers are watching the supply and demand, and can bco no reason why they should not realize at least the prii-o which they refused a few weeks ago. Some growers now stand ready to contract for 20 cents, but declare they will not sell for less. Growers are now. taking advantage of every-opportunity between showers t jjet their yards in shape for the spring', cultivation and as soon as the weather permits will begin grubbing. - Still They Continue -At the First Christian church tonight Klder Errett will have for hi subject "Living Over Again."; The meetings will continue all this week, uch inter est was manifest last night.

Most Be Bottled Up. Lomton, March1 1. The pause in war operations in the far, East- has been broken by another Japanese attack on Port Arthur, of which only the forego ing brief account is to hand. This re port, however, shows a repetition of the now familiar tactics of Japan and it is presumed this attack was made in bad weather, previous telegraphic advices having reported a severe gale raging at Port Arthur. s usual the Japanese did not re main long enough off; the harbor to enable the gunners at the fort to get their range. Again three cruisers, the Bayan, Askold and Novik, came out to meet the attack, and this suggests either they were the only effective ships there or the larger battleships were enable to. get out. They Need Port Arthur. St. Petersburg, Feb. 9. A lireet confirmation of a report from Hako date that the Vladivostoek is blockad ed by Japanese vessels cannot be ob tained here but it is considered prob able that during the Japanese landing operations in Corea the Russian war ships to the north were a constant men ace, and the blockading of them would be the most effective means of secur ing non-interference. Furthermore, it is worthy of note, for more than cne week no" word has been allowed to eome from Viadivostoek and this is a strong presumptive evidence of impor tant events are transpiring. L The report from Lain Yang, Man churia, that the Japanese fleet has re ceived orders to attack and capture Port Arthur on March 1 at all eosts, has created a profound impression and has adled to" the belief the Japanese possibly intend to commence bind and sea operations against- Port Arthur sooner than was anticipated.

The students ofthe Oregon State Mute School have completed an exhibit to be! sent to the World's Fair at St. Louis. The exhibit is very ingenious and is bound to attract considerable attention, even though in competition with similar exhibits from all "of the states. ; The exhibit is now on display in the show window of Huren & Hamilton 's furniture store, where it is attracting considerable attention and well deserv ed praise. The articles shown are con tained in a glass case , of neat design and workmanship, the handiwork of some of the boys in the school. Tn the center of the case is a large wax doll, dressed throughout in garments made at the school and in the care are sever al other article which go to make tip the wardrobe of the doll, including a skirt and hood of crocheted work, a linen handkerchief of drawn work, and a fine point lace doilie. All of this needle work is exquisite, such, as a student from the best school of house hold science might well feel proud of having executed. In the back of the case- are several leaves which open and display maps of the United States, Oregon, North America and South Amerija. All of them are drawn entirely free hand without even the help of lines repre senting latitude and longitude. They are alt highly colored! and display a great ' deal, of talent among th chil dren who do not speak. On another leaf of the case are fpeciment of the hand writing and some examination papers taken from the regular class work; None of this work was done especially for t'he exhibit, but chosen from the work done by the students doring the month of Janutry, the object of Suier intendent Clark being not to show what can be done with great effort, bat what the students are doing every day in the regular class work. . Underneath the case on the support is a complete set of single buggy har ness made by the boys at the school harness shop. This is an! excellent exhibit in every particular, and reflects much credit both on the students of the institution and also on 'Superintendent T. J. Clark, under whose : supervision the work was done, and who .designed the ingenious .ease: after much thought.
