The expected but long-deferred advance In the bop nurkrt Is making lt appear ed. When th. icssob opfnsd last Sep tember, the wise ones predicted a dragging vid possibly declining market up to the holl1ays. followed by a turn for the better which would continue In evidence ur; to the time that the market would be Influenced ly coming crop prospects. Their prediction of a tagging market In the first four morthi of the season was reailied. and now. on achedu'.e time, the betterment la taking place. What will happen later ll mere guesswork, but the statistical position of tha market Justifies the belief that the lmprorement will centime There la no mistaking the fart that prices row ara better than they were a week or ten days ago. There are no mora nickel hope to be had. Deals closed In tha last day or two at to Clj cents were for the Mm. class of goods that but recently were offered without takers at prlocs a cent to a cent and a half lesa Tbei- hops for the most part are only medium In quality, but with tha redaction tn supplies they nii taken the place of the j.Ttme grade. Tha strengthening of the position or ine market ts at both ends of tne line. It Is vaster to aell In tha East and harder to buy sl.re. Krawers and defers In the East who before Chrlitmas could not be Interested In hops ara now voluntarily making Inquiries nd wlrlna orders. Indicating that tne orew- ary aurplua hae been worked off to a point where it la no longer a menace to the mar ket. At tha same time the available supply tn Bret hands In Oregon ha- bean decreased to 10.000 to 12.000 bales, and purchases can nly be made by quoting full current values.

Tha receipts of all apples In this market In the six days ending on Wednes day were 29. ITS barrels compared with 55. gS barrels In tha previous six days. A de cided tendency toward a higher level tn aJues was the feature at the close on all tha desirable stock In the offerings. There were f.-w lots of applea unsold at tha close on Wednesday. Commenting on the fact that the export buslneaa promises better results from now on. tha Guide says: In one quarter It was stntod on Wednes day that the total supply of box apples now available for export does not exceed $00 carloads. Of this quantity It ts flrured that tha after-holiday engagements will take at least S00 carloads.

CLOSE IS GENERALLY WEAK Gold Is Ensaged for Export, but Flow of Cash lo Xew York From the' Interior Is Heavy. Bonds Are Firm. NEW YORK. Jan. $. There wa a very Irrer-ular tone In the atock market at all timca today. Stock which are often left In an obscure position for long periods were made conspicuous with successive spurts to highor prices, but tha tone of the general list was distinctly heavy. Later there wa some Improvement In the general list, but weakness was general at the closing. The Individual advance, while sensa tional to a degnee, hd no cause to explain them. The London discount rate was sharply af fected t.ifi.iv and reports were received of a probable advance In the discount rate in tiie HHnk of EriKland. a movement by that institution to accumulate gold. The iu Inur.sU,ns of the Inward movement of cash to the New York banks deprive this pros pect of any power to alarm sentiment. Some attention was given to the wheat market In connection with th foar that the low temperature might injure the Winter wheat crop In the absence or snow covering.
