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 mar
ket closed firm on hop?, a feature being the
Interest shown by exporters in states at full

Portland Hop 3Inrlce4.
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

SHORT CROP OF "WALNUTS.
aiarket Is Stronpr, "With, an Uprrnrd
Tendency.
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.

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

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

Scarcity of Tomatoes.
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.

orange peel this season came in yesterday. One

STEEL DILLET CONTROVERSY.
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

BRIGHT OUTLOOK FOR CUBA
British Investor Prniscs Government
Inaugurated by America.
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.

nace coke for he next year Is highly interest
ing, being In line with the steel corporation pol
icy. , From authoritative sources, It Is learned
that the negotiations between the steel cor
poration and the valley furnaces for 250,000 to
300,000 tons of Bessemer Iron for delivery after
April 1, 1003, have been discontinued. 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.

RAW MATERIAL SCARCE.
One J Thinpr That Sustains PrlceM in
the Iron Trade.
NEW YORK. Oct. 30. In spite of extremely
favorable surface conditions, there aro many n
the iron trade who express the conviction that
the crest of the wave has passed, and that the
tendency In the opposite direction will develop,,
says the Iron Age. Conditions, are unusual In
many respects, but the one fact which dispels
any danger of a sudden collapse Is that raw
material, and notably fuel, 13 scarce, without
much hope of improvement well Into next
Spring.
