tbat'ne had received word through Min- j ed March 10, F. 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. I fighting. .
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

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,

"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
