WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 2S, 1903. 13 WORLD'S HOP CROP Figures of This Year's Pro duction in Germany DO NOT SHOW A SHORTAGE Total Yield Equal to the Consump tion, According to a Foreign Statistician Jocal Mar ket Continues Active. NUREMBURG, Bavaria, Oct. .27. (Special The Kingdom or Bavaria will have nearly the same rich hop crop as last year. The same will he the case with other bopgrowlng dis tricts of Germany, like Wurtemburg, Baden. Alsace-Lorraine and Prussia. Bohemia will have a very small crop, but both England and the United States will have better crops than las year. According to estimates prepared here, the total amount of the world's hop production this Fear Is placed at 1,700.000 American hundred (cetghts. The total annual consumption of hops by brewers throughout the world Is. held to be also 1,700,000 hundredweights. According to these fUrores. with the old stock from last fear's crop on hand, there will bo. at least no Jeflclency, but, on the contrary, a surplus of About 200,000 hundredweights. HOPS STILL ACTIVE. Choice Grades Are Firm, but Moldy- Goods Arc Declining. There is still a. moderately active movement In hops without much change In local quota tions. Choice hops are quite firm, but Inferior, moldy grades art hard to move, and the pres sure to sell them Is causing the price of such stock gradually to go lower. W. H. & H. Le May, ln;thelr annual circular on the hop crop, state that the outturn In' Eng land cannot exceed 423.000 hundredweights. In 187-S the acreage sown to hops In Great Britain amounted to 71,789, while so long ago as 1S19 It was 51.014, when the consumption of beer In England and Scotland was only 7,422,507 bar rels, while today in the United Kingdom it is 36.000.000 barrels, with over 3000 acres less hops than they had in 1810 to supply the re quirements of the .hrewers. "With regard to England's probable Imports, the Arm mentioned does not think it will be possible, even with high prices, to attract as many hops as was received last year, when the Imports reached pnly 183,000 hundredweights. The requirements of brewers, exporters, manufacturers of non alcoholic drinks and yeastmakcrs are about 600,000 hundredweights. Now, if England should produce 425,000 hundredweights, and the Continent send to it' 00,000 hundredweights, and American 00.000 hundredweights. It will only give a total of 75,000 hundredweights; the deficiency of 225,000 hundredweights will have to bo eaUsfled out of -consumer' stocks. The London Times' agricultural writer, who has for several rears past made a very accu rate approximate estimate of the yield, puts the average production this season at about 9 hundredweights per acre. This, ho remarks. Is probably more than was anticipated, for It represents a full average crop, the mean yield for the 18 years over which official produce statistics have been collected being at the rata of 8.3 hundredweights per acre. If the aver age should be otuclally returned at 9 hundred weights per acre, an estimated aggregate pro duction of over 400,000 hundredweights may be expected. The Kentish Observer of October 8 said of the English market: The trade in the new crop continues very slow, and prices are not so good as they were last week. Nominally, the top price for choice East Kcnts is 7 103 per hundredweight, but there are no sales at that figure, and factors do not quote higher than 7 7s. Holders, of Vrlght, colory .samples are not offering at pres ent, preferring to wait until the brewers real lie how small is the proportion of such qual ities. There has been some pressure to sell jnedlum growtn, and as a result values have given way to the extent of from 5s to 10s per .hundredweight. Continental markets are much higher than our own. The New York market is thus reported by the "Watervllle Times of October 20: The market Is rather quiet. It is neither strong nor weak, but about medium. Prices paid seem to be a little off just now, and the holders of the choicest lots are not willing to take any less than has been paid for that grade. The majority of the sales made now are at SOc.

RUMORS OF- TROUBLE REPORTS FROM ST. LOUIS AGI TATE THE STOCK MARKET. Influence in Copper Movement Also i yShlfts,to the Side o'f Re , action. NEW YORK. Oct. 27.':-About the time when professional operators were In the midst of their selling to take profits on the considerable advance of yesterday and today. Wall street was alarmed with rumprs of financial troubles In St. Louts. This had the effect of accent uating the Inclination to sell. Statements were published before the closing that some of the smaller classes of depositors had taken fright and were withdrawing deposits rom some of the banks and trust companies In St. Louis, but expressions of .confidence were quoted that no harm would result to the institutions affect ed. The closing of the stock market was, in consequence, fairly steady, although the earlier advances were generally wiped -out and net losses were the rule at the close. It was obvious from the outset that the con siderable demand for stocks was lightly fed for purposes of proflt-'taklng. It is difficult to say, therefore how far the St. Louis develop ment may have been responsible for the reac tion. Sentiment In Wall stret is sensitive over the question of trust coSnpany conditions, and even so small an Incident as the report of a. run on a 'country bank in Wisconsin, which was sjtarted by a rumor that the bank had been Investing in railroad securities, was made the subject of discussion as an Illustration of pub lic disquiet engendered by banking operations of this sort. But the reactionary tendency of the market was capable of other explanations. For one thing, the very small outside demand attracted by thev advance managed by profes sionals served as a warning to that class of operators to restrict their ventures. The dominant Influence of the movement of Amalgamated Copper on the market also shift ed to the side of reaction today. The open public discussion between the parties to the Montana copper quarrel made It evident this morning that the proposals for arbitration did not offer a probable outcome. The market for raw copper also slipped back slightly from yes terday's spasmodic advance. The opening1 price of Amalgamated was the highest, at a shade under a point oyer last night, and the stock closed nt a net loss of nearly a point. Thts movement was quite decisive In shaping pro fessional sentiment on the whole market. A considerable part of the early selling was cred ited to London account. The day's heavy outgo of currency to various points was another factor of reaction. Of the day's total transfers through the Subtreasury of $1,150,000. $050,000 were sent to New Or leans. $300,000 to Chicago, and $200,000 to St. Louis. News from Chicago was of large with drawals from there by country banks, and New York exchange at that point -fell to s5c dis count. This probably maris a beginning of the Western crop-moving demand upon New York. The local money market was inclined to be heavy. At the same time, sterling e. change yielded. Large offerings of cotton bills and the exchange offered against London pur chases of stocks here helped this result. Lon don's favorable attitude to this market was due to the beginning of the stock exchange settlement, which revealed a considerable short account in Americans. There was a continued good absorption of bontls. but some of the more speculative issues acred in sympathy with stocks. Total sales.. $4,710,000.

Wheat selling by com mission houses and local traders was quite gen eral at the opening. Influenced by the brighter prospects for peace In the Orient, increased re ceipts In the Northwest and extremely favor ab e weather. December was unchanged to c lower, at, Sl3Slc. and during the first hour the price declined to 80c with very little de mand. Commission houses were fair buyers, and with a let-up In the selling pressure, tho market later became somewhat firmer, but the recovers' was only temporary. Larger world's stocks than had been estimated resulted In much selling the last hour of the day, and the market again turned weak, December selling off to 80c Outsldo markets were all lower, and this acted as a depressing Influence during the latter part of the session. The demand improved slightly toward the close, and De cember closed at S0c, a loss of c for the day. Com was still tending downward, owing to continued fine weather. Trade was quiet, with further bear pressure from the provision crowd. After selling between' 43c and 44c December closed 6?tc lower, at 43c Trading In oats was dull and uninteresting, with prices Inclined- to weaken In sympathy with the decline Nn other grains. December closed c lower, .at 35c Trading In provisions was sJqw and Inclined to heaviness, with prices showing slight losses, due to weakness In the hog-market and the de cline In grains. There Fas some support- for January lard on the decline, but otherwise tho demand was poor. January pork closed 7o lower., at $12; January Jard' was off 2c at $C.C5, while ribs were down 5c at $0.27.

The Weather Bureau predictions of rain and lower Eastern markets caused some easiness In local prices for grain, but on account of small avail able supplies, there was not much pressure to sell. Flour and bran continued steady and best grades of hay firm. While rain Is begin ning to be needed in connection with next year's crops of cereals Its keeping oft is en abling the grape, dried fruit and bean harvests to be closely gathered. The firmness already noted In hops continues, and sales are fairly large at full prices for the better grades. Growers have the advantage, and buyers who have been holding off for lower prices are changing their policy. Receipts of apples lately have been heavy, and there la a bis accumulation, which keeps prices weak for general offerings. Fancy New town pippins are now arriving In straight car. loads and bringing top quotations. More new crop oranges and grape fruit arrived, but most ly too green toattract buyers.

Fixed Ratio Would Open Mines. DENVER, Oct 27. Daniel Guggenheim, who is in this city, in discussing the re port of the United States Committee on In ternational Exchanges, said: "I believe at last the ratio between gold and sliver will be fixed soon. It is not a question of what ratio we ought to have. Tho question Is what ratio we can get The ratio ot thirty-two to one will be of Immense benefit to people of a great many different nationalities. It will en able China to become a purchaser, and that will create a demand for goods from America and other countries. A fixed ra tio would also result in the opening of many Colorado mines."
