M sayst v -ister Dawson that Commander Dilling- The commafider of the second army ham was coming, and all negotiations ' reports that he.. has bad no further with Reader were instantly-dropped.

Mr. Reader said that on January 9 J - " No reports have been received he called on President Morales, and from the first or third armiesi . saw Mr. Sanchez, who said that United "I have Instructed the troops which States Minister Dawson had advised have arrived. -from ': Russia, They are the Dominican government not to pro-. in excellent. spirits and good, health." Tbe bop ; situation locally and gen erally has Just sbout reached the acnte stage "and, according j to reports," ' it looks mucb like a break is sbout due one way or another. , The tying up of the bops on band into pools is also, be ginning to have It" effect since it is reported that orders have' been received in this city from n London firm for tbe purchase of 1000 bales at 27H "cents, but no enfirmation could be gained up on tnis score. The - report- also. comes from Eugene and there is a letter-in existence to prove the. correctness - of the rumor; to the effect that 24 cents is beintr freely offered for choice, goods and one ease is cited in which an offer of IIS cents was made and rejected.. No sales o any moment have, been made sale of any moment have been made except the constant interchange of small lots as between dealers. Although considerable - interest has been manifested in tbe matter of. tbe formation of a pool of the Oregon hops. no perceptive or oeeiaed movement naa been taken in tnis direction, presum ably on account of there being nobody to assume the initiative. A number of growers have inquired concerning what action had been taken toward the lornv ice of a pool and all have signified their willingness ta club in. The plan ot combination suggested by M. If. Durst of Alameda,7 California, wbicn is upon tbe co-operative basis, as published in the Statesman of last week In his let ter to Mr. Wlnstanlev, seems to meet with oeneral approval and would prob ably Jb adopted if some one were to take the lead. Another letter has oeen received by Secretarv Winstanley of the Oregon Hop Orowers'' Association, from Mr. Durst, in wbicb the lattsr states that it is quite possible that he may come to Oregon and-lend what as- sistaneo he could in the matter of or -janizing a pool upon the preposition which be suggested, mt. imrsi aiso sets rorth the conditions of tbe bop market, os be sees: them. In bis letter to Mr. Winsianley wbieh may be of in terest to the ; Oregon growers and the letter is published m fall berewitn through the court ey of Mr. Winetan ley: : "It looks to me 'as If nearly every indication is in favor of better prices for 1904 bops, - Unless -.growers delib erately sacrifice their own interests by allowing themselves to be scared into selling. Some dealers talk about it be- in 9. late in the season and so many hops being sold, etc. etc. It will be a good seven months yet before the brewers can secure any 1903. hops for brewing i and then they win do ran ana new Enland. i , 1 The English hrewers, as you know. only begin W tre vnr 164 bops until in July and August, 1C3. nod when that time eomes the 1904 baps left on this coast will be rn great demand to ship to London. Du we not remember that in September and November, last year, tbe few 1902 hops in the growers bands in (Oregon were eagerly sought for by exporters to- send to England at prices within a half cent of what choice new hops would bring ' The growers may be flute that there will be stron In quiry for 1904 hop op to December, 103., - ... v- 'i " v . "It also must be noticeable to grow ers that tbe outlook is for a dry year in Oregon. Yon are "twelve inches be low a normal rainfall now. If it goes on yon' will have a short crop . sure. The new bops will be little good. The outlook for Washington and Oregon crops is surely below the average at this time, A dry time is imminent; also a drought mav be followed by a wet August nnd September. Orowers who have bops should be willing and anxious to demonstrate that they are not to be euchred out of themby mis leading statements of would-be pur chasers, '-. ti ' In reference to t ie pool, there Is one point which I failed to mention in my last. and that is that the movement should be STRICTLY CO-OPERATIVE. It should be -managed economically in the interest of the owners of hops, and no one should have a pull 'or work a graft.' I am ready to' co-operate with Oregon growers and to do anything to' further oar mutual interests. If neces sary I eoald jro to Oregon soon. Yours truly, "M. H. Durst," Woodburn Hop Growers Holding. Woodbum, Or March IS. While small lots have' been disposed of here in th past few weeks, Woodburn deal ers are holding back their hops, and confidently expect a rise shortly. They feel much cheered by reports from the east and England end the combines in California and Washington.
