SALEM, Oct. 30. (Special.) The feature of the hop market at Salem today was the receipt of orders from England. It Is understood that the orders were not large, and that ic was the price. Up to today, buyers hero for Eng lish trade had no orders at 23c, and they con sequently have taken but little part In the buy ing that has been going on. The entrance of English buyers Into the market Is expected to cuse considerable activity. KortK at New Yorlt. NEW TORK, Oct. 30. (Special.)

The Portland hon market was a little more active yesterday, though no large sales came to light. The tone of prices is still strong. Car nilchael is in the market with offers of 25c for hops for London account. Private advices re ported the New York market strong, and Ger man markets lc lower. DE3IAXD FOR. SEEDED RAISINS. All Offering? at New York Talcen Freely at Full Values. NEW YORK. Oct. 2C (Special.) Interest centers in seeded raisins, the demand taking all offeringsfreely at full values. Local seeders decline to execute orders for immediate dollv ry, owing to the press of regular business al ready contracted. Fresno wires note some in crease in the seeded output, but jobbers here take little comfort; since the time occupied by goods in transit from the Coast will scarcely allow of sufllclent supplies arriving to satisfy holiday wants. The market closed with ad vancing tendencies on Eastern pack, at 8i Bc for fancy- 1-pound cartons. Coast pack Quoted at 8-ic, but nominal inabsence of sup rly in first hands. Apricots and peaches are firm, with the de mand active for jobbing lots Prunes aro asy on small sizes, but firm on 40-COs. at 7.sc, and 50-GOs at;G- Oregon futures are quiet.

The market -for walnuts Is very firm, and' dealers look for higher prices. The California crop is short. anduhlpments from that state will be 25 per cent less than expected. There is also a shortage In foreign crops. Consul Thackara, at Havre, reports on the French c-op: It is somewhat early to clve exact informa tion egarding this year's walnut crop in France, as, owing to unfavorable weather conditions, it has been retarded. All the advices I have received agree that, on account of the inclem ent wather which prevailed during last Spring and the first part of the Summer, there' will be a reduced production of walnuts, some placing the crop at 30 per cent below that of a normal year. If the present fine weather will last, "it is thought that the quality or the nuts will be good.

The strong features 3n the early trading included St. Paul, Baltimore & Ohfo, ' Southern Pacific, Sugar and Amalgamated Copper Among the stocks that registered declines at the same time were Reading, Louisville & Nashville and United States Steel. A further tendency to ward belter prices was soofi shown, and Nor folk & Western, Missouri Pacific and Manhat tan were quoted at Improved prices. There was no news to account for the generaT improve ment other than that traders seemed to think a market had been oversold. The Gould .stocks, as a group, developed Increased strength un'-. der the lead of Missouri. Pacific, and.jthere was a moderate demand for Texas & Pacific. The trading In Pennsylvania, Baltimore & Ohio, Canadian Pacific, Illinois, Delaware & Hud con, New York Central and "Wabash seemed to have some foundation. Northwestern was sen sitive and declined on small dealings, but later made a partial recover'. In the special class, American Cotton Oil made a further gain, but Colorado Fuel & Iron was distinctively heavy. Speculation became rather .Irregular and" reac tionary towards noon, and "business dwindled to the slightest proportions. While inside sup- iport was not altogether lacking, it was clear that any attempts In the direction of activity and a higher level were met with offerings of long stock. -The list held barely firm during the early afternoon, though the reactions were chiefly due to room trading. St. Paul devel oped unusual strength In the-la6t hour, mak ing a maximum rise of 3Vi points, but proflt taklpg and the failure of the directors to take action on the proposed Issue of extra stock caused general selling. Tho remainder of the list went off In sympathy, and the closing, while easy, was dull. Call money worked as high as 0 per cent In the final hour, but most of the day's loans were: made between 414 and 5 per cent. The advance In -demand loans was probably due In a meas ure to the final payment on Saturday of $27, 000,000 for account of the recent bond Increase of the "Pennsylvania Railroad. Arrangements to meet this payment were perfected some days ago. however, and It Is more than likely that the advance In call money was largely in fluenced by the belief that gold exports must come.

Mall advices have the following on California tomatoes: Tomatoes have attracted more than the usual attention this season, owing to' the peculiar condition of the market at the clo?e of last sea son's pack. Tomatoes were scarce and high priced, and have continued so up to the present moment, as we' anticipated. Owing to a bare market and high prices, a very large acreage was planted to tomatoes in the Ea'stern and Western States and on the Pacific Coast. On the Pacific Coast planting was begun some four weeks earlier than usual, and about double the acreage set to tomatoes as compared with the season of 1001. The plants grew very slow ly end the season turned out to be a late one. Notwithstanding tho large acreage and early planting, the pack of tomatoes up to October 15 was not more than 00 or 70 per cent of the pack at the same timo last year. We have had a few days' rain. The vines arc looking healthy Nand are filled with tomatoes and blosshms unrt if the present favorable weather holds through- out November a xood-slzed tomato tnrir win be made. Neiv Citron Arrives. Tho first consignment of citron, lemon and orange peel this season came in yesterday. One firm alono received a ton and a half of citron. PORTLAND MARKETS. Grain. Flour, Feed. Etc.

General Appraiser's Decision Favor able to Importers. NEW YORK. Oct. 30. United States General Appraiser Jewell has rendered his formal de cision in a steel billet controversy which has been attracting much attention of late among importers and users of foreign steel billets, and alro among customs officials. The decision Is regarded as favorable to the importers in that, while the valuation of the billots had been ad vanced considerably over the figure which tho Importers contended was tho correct market value, the advance will not Increase tho rate of duty: In other words, Colonel Jewell's de cision leaves the merchandise assessable at tho rate of three-tenths of a cent a pound, or al lows It to come In under the provision of the tariff la,w which imposes that duty on steel billets. slab3, etc. valued at 1 cent a pound or lens. The General Appraiser's decision, howeer, accepts the domestic or home market price In' Germany, It Is understood, as the correct val- Vefretables. Fruit.- Etc. Euslness in these lines was only fair, and no" .wiriai cnanges were made In prices". After the' first of the month an Improvement in busi ness may be looked for. California grapes are scarce. Apples are In plentiful pupply, and are moving fairly well. A car of very fine sweet potatoes came in yesterday. VEGETABLES Tomatoes, Oregon. 40Jj50c fn10 turnlPs. !

LONDON, Oct 30. At a meeting- of the Cuban Central Railways, Ltd., the chairman, J. White Todd, spoke encour agingly of the political and economic prospects of Cuba In spite of the present depression In the sugar trade. He said the new government Inaugurated in Cuba under American auspices was proceeding most satisfactorily from the standpolnt of the British inveators. Perfect quiet and confidence prevailed. Assuming the pass age of the American reciprocity bill, coupled with the favorable Influence of the Brussels sugar convention, there -was every reason to expect a great business revival In Cuba and an era of general prosperity. The best Information now pointed to the sugar crop being at least equal In quantity to that of last year. Referring to the promulgation of the new railroad laws, prior to the American evacuation of the island, the chairman said the American authorities hod shown every disposition to act fairly toward the interests of th railroads.

In the meantime, .Bessemer pig continues exceedingly scarce, and Is commanding high" prices for a yearly delivery. There are some Indications that importations may ba resorted to. In foundry iron, the event of the week haa been tho meeting ot the leading Southern in terests, at which ?20 was determined upon as a basic price for the second half of. 1003. . It appears that the trade Is not taking this de cision very seriously. There Is scarcity of forgo iron in the Central "West, and quite a largo Inquiry Is now In the market. From Germany comes the recort that there Is a good deal of trouble over renewing the pig iron syndicate, owing to the usual disagreement over percent ages. If this powerful syndicate should fail, the lower prices resulting from the home mar ket might affect the capacity .to make low ex port prices on stp el and put an" end to syndicate export bounties. ' In.tnasteel trade we noto a renewal of nego tiations for the Importation of steel .billets, which, can now he. laid down at Atlantic ports at a shade under. $27 50. In the finished linos the most. Interesting fact is that ono firm has contracted for an aggregate of 31,000 tons of bridge material. The' deliveries are to be made during the next six months. "While thus the demand, continues Strong In this branch, the building trade Is showing a disposition to slack en. Importations of structural material con tinue. It is expected that the announcement of the revised prices on tlnplate will bo made early next-: week. The amount of the reduction Is closely guarded.
