HOPS AT TOP, PRICE
Big Sale at the Close .of a
Critical Day.
KARKET GOES UP A QUARTER
Six Hundred Bales Sold for London
Shipment at -Vi Cents Slany
Grovrem "Were Becom
ing: Uneasy.
Yesterday was a critical day In the hop mar
ket. Trading was practically at a standstill,
and for a time it looked as if Drlces would
break. The nSarket has been dull" for a week,
driers have shown little interest in samples,
and growers apparently were making ud their
minds to let go at whatever they could get.
A cloomy view generally was taken of the.
situation ud to the cloro of business hours.
Then the day was saved by a sale being made
at the top mark of the season. M. H. Durst,
an extensive buyer for London account, took
COO bales from Krebs Bros., of Salem, at 20Vic,
which Is He better than any bona f.de sale
that has been reported this year.
The fcllng throughout the early part of the
day was one of uneasiness on' the part of
growerf and the trade as well. This was to a
large extent due to the inactivity of the mar
ket. Many growers are of tho opinion that
when no oi'ers are made the market is declining,-
and that when competition Is keen,
prices arc on the rise. This does not neces
sarily follow. Buyers may have orders or they
may not, without any regard to the tone of the
market or its future" prospects. At the present
time, the majority of dealers show" no disposi
tion to buy. .while many of them are anxious
to fccll. Almost every man in the hop business
Is carrying a large stock, and some of them
are being pressed by the banks for money.
This In Itself contributes to the uneasy feeling,
and the pressure Is apt to increase rather than
decrease a3 the end of the month approaches.
Should' the heavy holders be forcfd to unload.
it Is possible that a break in prices might fol
low, especially as the brewing interests are not
In the market in force sufficient to buoy up
values, and they are not likely to be active
buyers this month. If the growers become
stampeded, there can be only one result, a
drop, at least temporary, in prices. Every,
effort is being made by the officials of the
Hopgrowers' Association to keep producers In
line, and many of the largest growers of the
"Valley have promised to hold for 30c. No
doubt Is felt that tbj market will advance
after the first of the year on buying by brew
ers, and there arc Indications that the export
demand will soon become strong.
In local trade circles, some dealers yesterday
took a- pessimistic view of present conditions.
Said one largo buyer: "There is no doubt that
the market is weak. No ono wants hops, and
growers are anxious to sell. I can get all the
hops I want at 24c and 25c All orders from
the East have been canceled. Speculators and
dealers in the East are unloading as fast as
they can."
On the other hand, there are buyers still In
the hop districts making liberal offers. One
offer was made at Aurora of 25c, and at In
dependence there were several 23c offere. These,
howei'er, were not sufficient to keep up the
courage of growers, but now that a big lot has
been taken, and at the best price of the yeaf,
the feeling throughout the producing country
will doubtless undergo a change.
Shipments by rail continue large, one firm
sending $22,000 worth of hops East yesterday.

FOCUSED -ON ONE ISSUE
aiANHATTAN AGAIN THE FEATURE
OP XEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Belief Is Growing- That Important
Events Dealing "With the Sys
tem Are Impending;.
. NEW YORK, Nov. 20. Except for a few Ir
regular and comparatively unimportant moves,
today's stock market was very like that of
the preceding days of this week In the sense
that attention was focused very largely upon
one Issue Manhattan. The Increased strength
of that stock added to the fast-growing belief
that Important events dealing with the local
transportation system are Impending. Just
what form these probable events will take Js
still a matter of guesswork. Manhattan sold
up to 154, and made a net galn'of 314 points
on very heavy transactions.
The remainder of the list. Irregular for part
of the day. made some Improvement In the
final hour, however, and the j:loslng was easy,
though below the best. Considerable strength
was shown by tho Gould Issues as a group at
various times, and there were spasmodic rallies
elsewhere. The early strength of Sugar was
reported to be due largely to short covering,
and the further gains in the new Rock Island
issues resulted, from what appeared, from In
side buying. Fractional losses were recorded
In tho early dealings by all the coal stocks, as
well as by the Industrials, while the Interna
tional group went below London's quotations,
though hardening some "later. The early reac
tion was followed by substantial recoveries in
St. Paul. Iowa Central, Minneapolis & St.
Louis, Louisville & Nashville, Illinois Central
and Texas Pacific while Missouri Pacific was
strong. So obviously professional were opera
tions at this time, however, that another reac
tion tet in. with material declines in some of
the Issues named, Louisville & Nashville break
ing sharply. Union Pacific and Southern were
Inclined to heaviness, and Manhattan sagged
In the absence of confirmatory news. Metro
politan and Brooklyn Transit sold off to the
previous day's figures, but there was nothing
like a general selling movement, the bear cle
ment showing some timidity when the further
advance of Manhattan in the afternoon stimu
lated the rest of the list, and "good" buying
of Amalgamated Copper was reported. The
demand for stocks came chiefly from the shorts,
and was confined largely to Copper, Sugar,
Reading, New York Central and Manhattan.
Advices from London reported a very bearish
feeling there, and sales for that account
amounted to about 30,000 shares, with llttlo
buying In return. Amsterdam and other Euro
pean financial cetiters also sold this market
moderately.
Time money conditions, while no more acute
than they have been recently, continue to ex
cite same apprehension. The demand today
was very moderate, but lenders were still hold
ing off for a stlfftrate. Call money was easy
and again In light demand. There was prac
tically no change In the foreign exchange situa
tion. v
The bond market was much easier, and fluc
tuations were slight. Total sales, $1,855,000.

THE .IROX TRADE.
Market May Soon Assume Its Normal
Condition.
CLEVELAND. Nov. 20. The Iron Trade Re
view, discussing market conditions In Its cur
rent Issue, cays:
The difficulty of sifting surface Indications
in the Iron trade- from the actual trade drift
has been merging of late. Price reductions
on a variety of products have given rise to one
set of views. Complications have been In
creased by the drifting of the freight situation
Into a state ot progressive hopelessness, the
approach of Winter adding to the apprehen
sions already felt.
With all the difficulties In the way of a clear
diagnosis of the situation, and In spite of mul
tiplied hindrances, there remains the story told
month by month In the blast figures, showing
that the consumption of domestic pig Iron is
going on atthe rate of nearly 18.000.000 tons
a year, while Imports, are at an annual rate of
1.000.000 tons mort. There is no doubt that
the supply of pig Iron for the. Immediate needs
of foundries has Improved, and that prices on
such Iron are easier. Importations are to bo
thanked for that. The fcverlshness has abated
measurably, and the situation Is working to
ward a somewhat better adjustment of supply
and demand. Buyers are not In haste to con
tract for the further future, and thore Is a
more complacent feeling regarding supplies for
next year. .
High prices for cokox are a cause of some
concern to both furnacemen and foundrymen.
and the high level promises to continue woll
Into the year. Foundrymen see that $4 5005
per ton at the ovens must be figured for coko
cost for months to come . development ot
Importancec In the week has been the advan

;Large steel companies are still buyers, of

EUROPE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO AB

i J
Up to tlie Present, Receipts of Grain
Have Promptly Gone Into
Conxmnption.
MINNEAPOLIS. Nov. 29. (Special.) The
Commercial West's London correspondent says
of wheat:
The marvelous manner In which the Conti
nent hag been able to Import and consume
foreign wheat has been one of the most satis
factory features in the situation from the sell
ers' point of view, but this cuts both ways.
The reason for such heavy Imaorts Is that so
much of the native wheat In Western Europe
Is out of condition, making Imports of dry
foreign sorts absolutely necessary, and al
though a considerable Quantity of the poorest
quality has been used for feeding purposes,
large quantities will be good enough In quality
as soon as the condition Improves, and although
this will take some time yet, the wheat Is still
here, andsooner or later will be used for hu
man consumption. In tho meantime, an enor
mous quantity has been pu in transit, and .
stocks are accumulating everywnere, ana signs
are not wanting that the capacity of the Con
tinent to absorb such large quantities Is be
coming overtaxed.
For 1902 It may be conceded that there Is
exceeding plenty. For 1903 we havo the Ar
gentine crop coming on apace, with a probable
export of 8.000.000 quarters. Indian prospects
continue excellent, and the way shipments
keep ua Indicates that there will be a very
fair quantity for exporf from our great de
pendency, Australia. As we have said. Europe
Is likely to prove an Importer on a fair scale,
but estimates as to tho quantity required are
for the present more or less guesswork. , From
wheat ever point of view the sltnatlon may be
regarded, tho outlook is not very hopeful, and
It will require' some fresh and at present
unobservablc stimulant to lift the market out
of Its present "dull and unsatisfactory condition.
WHEAT LOWER AT CHICAGO.
Lending;. Long Unloaded Between
5,000,000 and 7,000,000 Bushels.
CHICAGO, NoS 20. Covering by shorts car
ried December wheat up to within c of May
shortly after the opening, but on realizing by
longs, the market declined again. It was esti
mated that the leading long who has been
buying May for some time had unloaded be
tween 5,000.000 and 7.000,000 bushels during
the day, which was tho chief factor In the
sudden drop in prices. Commission houses
also sold freely. The Southwest was credited
with large purchases, St. Louts taking a large
part of the offerings, although local traders
also took advantage fit the opportunity to cover
short lines. Higher cables and small receipts
were bull factory at the start. December opened
a shade to llc higher, at 76077c. and after
selling up to 77c, a few minutes afterwards,
there was a decline to 75c. and the latter
part of the session prices held about steady,
the close being 0c lower, at 75c.
Corn ruled active and Irregular, with still
further covering by shorts. The late weakness
In wheat caused some selling, and the close
was steady. December closed 3!ic lower, at ,58c
There was a renewal of activity In oats. The
close was steady, with December c lower, at
30c.
There was a fair trade In provisions, and
after a firm opening there was a decline on
realizing by longs, and under the influence
of the break in grains. January pork 10c
lower, lard 10c lower and ribs 507c lower.

Oysters Cheap and Plentiful.
Some Interesting conditions confront the deni
zens of the eastern shore of Maryland, whose
main source of Income includes the products of
Chesapeake Bay. As a result of the re-
formatory laws, which havo been In force for
several years, the oysters have been more plen
tiful this year than for at least a half decade,
says the Baltimore News. A good season Is
promised as the result of a law which provides
that the dredgers or tongers shall not catch
oysters below a certain size, making It an
offense to have such oysters In one's possession.
More than 50 licenses have been issued to
vessel owners thus far to prosecute dredging
operations. As the dredging opened In the Po
tomac River, which Is the common property
of both Maryland and Virginia, on October 15
the bivalves are already on the market.many
vessels having arrived with large cargoes.

Germany's Foreign Lumber Trade.
Consul W. Schumann sends from Mainz, Oc
tober 15. 1902, the following account of the
foreign lumber trade of Germany taken from
a local newspaper:
There 13 no question, that prices for foreign
lumber are, on the whole, higher now that at
the beginning of the year, caused both by a
curtailed supply and a better demand. Tho
supply of Swedish lumber is especially short.
Russian alder. orlnclDally used by box manu
facturers, is imported in quantities, and higher
prices are being asked for the season of 1003.
American pitch pine Is being held at higher
prices, and for American lumber, such as oak,
popular and nut, the demand for firs quality
is good, while Inferior grades are not sought.
. . . There seems to be no market for Amer
ican oak blocks, the demand belnr chiefly for
large, sound logs. Trade in American ash is
unchanged, and of no great Importance. Amer
ican hickory Is seldom used, and Is only Im
ported In small quantities. Large sales have
been effected In cedar wood for cigar boxes,
while In cedar wopd for pencils trade remains
unchanged.
