The hop market is not only active but de cidedly firm, with a strong inquiry for both olds and news. Growers ideas have been stiffened by the presence .of buyers and re peated telephone Inquiries in all parts of the country. Up to date the best price paid was CVi cents for a single lot, but several purchases have been made at 6 cents. The lower grades have also participated In the improvement, and mediums have been pur chased for a full cent more than the same hops were offered at two weeks ago. The demand seems to be almost entirely for export account. In the past two days, H. I. Hart has bought over 600 bales at 4 to 5 cents. Including the Schmidt lot at Monitor, Bye lot at Sliver ton and Stark weather A Apperson lot at Milwaukie. Car mlchael secured the Ole Rea tot of 80 bales at Monitor at 5 cents. The following cable froni Ironmonger, at London, was received by Isaac Pincus & Sons, of Tacoma, yesterday: "Market unchanged but unsettled with prices irregular. "Weather is wet and cold and unfavorable for growing crop." English trade reports bearing date of April 27 to April 29. follow: .Messrs, Wild, Neame A Co., London The low level of prk-es has Induced rather more inquiry, but the actual amount of business passing is still of a very restricted char acter. Manger & Henley, London The market lias been very quiet during the past week in consequence of the holidays. Values remain steady and unchanged. W. H. & H. Le May, London There is some inquiry for English hops from con sumers: prices now ruling are certainly very tempting and are Inducing some to cover their requirements for the next few months. The plant has had a bad start; the young bine is vry yeUow and seems to have little Vigor in many gardens. The Exchange and Hop Warehouses, Lim ited. London There is no alteration in the market to report this week. Business Is still very quiet, only a few small 'Sots changing hands, these being only for immediate con sumption. Prices remain unaltered. J. H. Meredith & Co., Worcester Busi ness remains In an exceedingly depressed condition, and no growers' hops passed the public scales last week, the small inquiry for immediate use being met out of mer chants' stocks. Values show no notable change. Plantation growth is very back ward, the young hop shoots being barely out of the ground. .OOT DEMAND FOR STRAWBERRIES Big Out-of-ToTvn Orders Help to Clean Vp Large Receipts. Notwithstanding the disagreeable weath er, the strawberry mnrket was in very good shape yesterday and the demand was strong enough to clean up practically all the re ceipts, which were fairly large. The good trade was due principally to the inquiry from outside points. California berries were Quoted ata wide range of from $1 to Sl.JW per crate, while the best Oregon berries sold at $2,30 a per crate.

N I Stock Values Are Held Up With Difficulty. OFFERINGS ARE LARGE Condition of the Money Market Again Attracts Attention Vigor ous Rally In Prices Near the Close of the Session. KEW YORK. May 15. Today's stock mar ket showed distinctly the growth of that strain which must accompany a prolonged movement of prices in one direction, whether the movement has simply reached an adequate level to represent truly the new basis of values or has overrun It. The higher price have gone, the greater the attractions offered to the holder to sell his stock and realise profits. The market gave evidence early today that the task of sus taining prices was growing burdensome In the face of the increased volume of offer ings that had to be absorbed tor that pur pose. The protection of the market, hoftv ever, was not abandoned and the subsidence of activity on the declines showed that holders of stocks felt their position strong enough ta persist when the rate of profit decreased to unattractive figures. There was a vigorous rally toward the last. Consideration must be given the money market outlook In the prospective with drawal week after next of another 925,000. 000 of Government deposits. The gold out flow, after running out in the channel to Paris, apparently was diverted today to Ber lin, 91.000,000 for that destination being engaged. It Is thought this movement to Germany will reach a considerable volume. While the resources at command are plenti ful in the present circumstances, it is likely that as they are being drawn upon the sur plus of the New York banks may begin to decline. The April foreign trade statement shows that the decline of 924,000,000 in value of our exports was heavily outmatched by the 942,000,000 shrinkage in imports, leaving the outward movement of gold to other causes for explanation than the international mer cantile exchanges. Union PacUlc. Chesapeake ft Ohio and Baltimore & Ohio were effective agents in rallying the market, and the consequence was a reduction In the net changes to small figures. Bonds were Irregular. Sales, par value, 94.514,000. United States 3a advanced and the 4s H per cent on the bid. CLOSING 6TOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Salea. High. Low. Bid.

' - BETTER FEEUNO IN COTTON GOODS Belief Is General That Bottom Prices Have Bn Readied. NEW YORK, May 15. Bradstreefs to morrow will say; Weather, trade and crop reports are ir regular, warm days alternating with heavy rain storms and retail and Jobbing demand has been of a fluctuating character. There Is evident, however, a measurable improve ment in the tone of affairs commercial and Industrial, a partial reflection, perhaps, off the better feeling in financial lines. The most significant feature in actual trade circles Is perhaps the wide acceptance of the belief in the cotton goods trade that this branch of trade has seen the bottom as to prices. Best reports as to Improvement in Pall buying come from the large centers like New York. Chicago and St. Louie, while current retail reports are best in the South and Northwest. Dullness and slow collec tions are still the distinguishing features In Southern reports.
