It will not only mean better price, but a more satisfactory mar ket all around. The long dry spell ot weather, whlls It has cut down the yield somewhst. Is responilbl. for the Improve ment In ths quality of the hops. The yards ars absolutely free- from vermin.

Building remains active. at many centers and lumber and hardware are in better demand at the West, while quiet East and South.

While quietness still prevails In most de partments ot the Iron and steel market, there haa boen practically no further de cline In quotation The general opinion ap pears to be that the lowest point has now been reached. The tone In the dry goods market Is bet ter, especially with .Jobbers and selling agent but business Is still of limited pro portion Cotton goods and cotton yarns hold Arm, with buying showing more breadth. Business on wool firsts and wor- stods Is of a more limited character, al though there la more agreement regarding value Many shoe manufacturers have completed contracts on Kali goods and are now doing little, owing to lack of supplementary Fall order Most of the New England factories are still running on part time and the local lobbing trade continues to improve, owing to the approaching opening of the school The hide market is less active and the advanced prices demanded ot late have checked the demand. There is some Im provement In leather and Increased sales have been made In certain descriptions, but the situation, on the whole. Is still far front satisfactory, and In a number of Instances further concessions have been made in prices in order to effect busines Uradstreet's Bank tirnrine. NEW TORK, Aug. 18.

Pacifies Vnder Pressure Because ol Uic Success of the Insur gent Cause. NEW TORK. Aug. 19- The reactionary undertone which characterlxed xesterUay'i stock market became more pronounced to day. Trading was In small volume. If anything, the market waa more professional. At edd times the entire list seemed under pressure, but more often the points of weakness were the Harrlmsn. Issues, Head ing and Vnlted States Steel, which long have comprised the great bulk of the aver ase day's business. it is a teasonahly fair assumption that the pressure directed on the Pacific shares resulted largely from recent developments In California. The success of the Insurgent csuse In that state is generally regarded as unfavorabls to the Southern Pacific road, which report has long credited with un wonted political activity on the Paclnc Cstccks grew Increasingly heavy In the af'crnoon, with a generally lower price level All the leaders went below the bot tom ' prices or the previous day. but the closing waa ellghliy more active, with mod erate recoveries In Reading and Union Pa- ClLondon repeated Its tactics of the last few days by open "selling In this market, chiefly of coppers.

The annual report ' of the American Smelting ft P.eflning Company showed net earnligs for the fiscal year, ending April 8 laau of 17.5'iS.OoO. This was but a mod erate decrease from the previous year and rather favorable on the whole. Domestic money movements indicate a rash csin by local banks of 15.000.000 to 17,--oo coo. Bank clearings for the week show a loss of 23 per cent, compared with the same week last year. The loss results large ly from the decrease In clearings at this center. .
