Hop prices are advancing steadily. with some little excitement, but no heavy buying. One contract for 30,000 pounds was made Friday at cents. This strengthening of the market is caused by cable advices from England and European hop centers showing a partial failure of crops, and weather conditions wet, cold and very unfavor able. Wheat shows no change, both growers and buyers waiting the world 'a crop developments. Indications are that the world crop will be hardly up to the average, and higher nrices ar predicted.
