HOPS ARE SELLING
More Activity Noted in the
Lower Grades.
THE MARKET IS OFF ONE CEHT
Libera! Offerings Depress Prices
Particulars of the Latest Trans
actionsThe Situation In
England Is Improved.
The market for medium and low-grade hops
Is active. Offerings are numerous and are be
ing quite generally taken up. This desire to
cell has -weakened the market, and prices for
these grades are about lc lower than they were
a month ago. The selling pressure is due to
approach of the close of the year when farmers
want to close up their accounts. Fancy hops
are not moving freely," as those remaining un
sold are in strong hands, and furthermore the
Inquiry for them Is light. The demand Just
now seems to be for a hop that can be bought
for. 15c or IGc. It 1k again pointed out that
tbenarket Is bound to continue weak so long
as hops are forced on the market, whereas if
the growers would combine and send a third
of their holdings out of the country, they would
not realize less on them abroad than here,
while the shortage thus created -would help the
local market.
Nearly 500 bales of hops have been sold in
the last few days at prices ranging from 10c to
lSVic. The largest transaction reported was
the sale of the ISC-bale lot of a. "W. Case,
raised near Champoeg. which was taken by H.
L. Bents, at lCVJc Other lots sold to Portland
dealers were as follows: J. B. Fletcher, Mc
Mlnnvllle, 102 bales, at 18&c: A. J. Edson,
Carlton, 01 bales. 17c; Ed Hutchcrofi, 41 bales,
12c, 10c and 17c; Ray Ferguson, LaFayette,
00 bales, Iftfec; Al Henry, La Fayette, 24 bales,
15c; "W. H. Jones, 09 bales, 154c; Heuston &
Shire, two small lots at 10c and 10c. It Is
estimated thationly 25,006 bales of the Oregon
crop remain In growers' hands.
The same activity prevails In other parts of
the Northwest. About four-fifths of the 1003
hop crop of the Yakima Valley has left the
handB of the growers. This Is Just the reverse
of the situation a year ago, when at this Urns
oeven-elghths of the crop was held by the
growers. The price for choice hops is about
22c During the past week over 1000 bales
changed hands there. The crop In Yakima
this year was larger than ever before, but the
quality was not so good.
The Eastern hop market is quiet, as very few
lots are left In growers' hands.
The Kentish Observer of November 12 re
ported the English hop market as follows:
Trade since our last report has been active,
with. a further" substantial rise in the price
of the lower qualities. The choicest sorts are
also the turn dearer, though the quotations
remain unaltered. Good medium bops, such
as stout Goldings fit for the best copper use,
are somewhat neglected; they can be bought
at about Is per pound. A very small propor
tion of the English crop now remains In grow
ers' hands, and a noticeable feature Is the way
fiie hops sold are Immediately cleared away
from factors' warehouses, which now hold ab
normally low quantities, for the year. Imports
are smaller than for years past, and exports
are larger, so that everything seems to point to
an advance in prices. It is stated that, owing
to the comparatively sunless Summer, hops are
weak in flavor this year, necessitating the use
of An increased quantity in brewing. Com
plaint Is made as to the quality of many of
the Oregon samples now being shown, the
trouble having been" caused by blight.
The Imports of hops Into the United King
dom from September 1 to November 1 were
17.231 cwt., and vexports 11,883 cwt., leaving
net Imports of 5338 cwt.; last year for the same
period Imports were 59,033 cwL, and exports
EM0 cwt., making net Imports 5MS7 cwt.
Advices received from "Washington report the
number of barrels of beer on which tax was
paid during October as amounting to 3,930,017
barrels, against 3,813,812 barrels same month
last year; the total for the calendar year to
November 1 was 40.S30.140 barrels, comparing
with 38,484,540 barrels same period last year.
West Sido Prunes Pooled.
FOREST GROVE, Or., Dec. 1. Special.) H.
5. Glle. of Salem, manager of the "Willamette
Valley Prune Association, visited Forest Grove
today, in the Interest of the West Side prune
pool, and signed contracts with the prune
growers of Forest Grove, Dllley and Cornelius
by which they place their prunes in the hands
of the association, to be packed at Dundee and
sold by the association. Mr. Glle had already
secured control of the unsold prunes in the
Dundee district. By this deal, practically the
last block of prunes In the "Willamette Valley
nas passed out of the growers' control.

2fEW YORK COTTON MARKET.
Great Sxcitcaeat aad Activity oa Bullish
Report.
NEW YORK, Dec 1. Still greater excite
ment and actlYlf marked the opening of to
day's cotton market. First prices showed an
advance of 12019 points on sensationally high
er cables, favorable weather, bullish accounts
from spot markets and increased confidence that
the Census Bureau report tomorrow, showing
the amount of cotton ginned to November 14
and estimating the, amount remaining to be
ginned, will make a very bullish showing. Pri
vate advices from Liverpool indicated that
large short Interests were covering there, and
the buying here seems to come largely from
Wall-street shorts, although there was also a
perfect flow of orders from outside sources.
Naturally, the bulls took profits heavily at the
advance, but their offerings were absorbed
with amazing promptness. March, which
seemed especially strong, was selling around
11.80c All through the session the market
continued active. The close was steady, 183J20
points net higher. Sales were estimated
at 1,000,000 bales. December, ll.STc; January,
ll.C7c; February. n.69c; March, 11. 76c; April,

LONDON, Dec L The offerings at the wool
auction sa.les today numbered 13,400 bales.
Crossbreds were in strong demand, and fine
grades were firmer, while medium and coarse
grades were unchanged. Greasy halfbred sold
briskly. Greasy merinos sold well.
Advance on "Mlilsky.
PEORIA. 111., Dec 1. Whisky was today
quoted on the Board of Trade at $1.27 for the
basis, an advance of 2c per gallon. The reason
assigned for the rise Is that the product has
been selling entirely- too low, and it now get
ting back to the normal figure.
STOCKS UP ON RUMORS
NEW YORK MARKET HESITAT
ING BUT SLIGHTLY HIGHER.
Gould-Pennsylvania Report Again a
Factor Railroad Earnings Not
Favorable.-Money Is Firm.
NEW YORK, Dec 1. There- was a consid
erable increase of activity in today's stock
market, and a generally higher range resulted.
The movement continued hesitating and some
what Irregular, and the small net changes re
suiting In some of the more active stocks left
a suspicion of professional manipulation. Even
the -purpose of the supposed manipulation was
the subject of doubt and dispute, covering such
varying suppositions as a professional move
ment agalpst the shorts, the bidding up of
Drices for the purpose of marketing long stock
and even & purpose on the part of bearish,, pro
fessionals to make a market for putting "but
fresh short lines.
Speculative sentiment over stocks was equal
ly confused. There was little In the actual
news of the day to favor an advance la prices,
and some of the sews was distinctly unfavor
able. The reports of gross earnings of rail
roads for the third wek In November, thus
lor published, show an increase on the aver
age of lees than 2 per cent, although the re
turns from tho coalers are not Included, and
this group will compare well with the large
earnings last year. -The passing of the dividend
on Republic Steel, although it had been feared,
had not been fully assured, and. considering
this the effect in the Industrial list was slight.
That stock itself fell an extreme 24. but re
covered all but a fraction. There was a reduc
tion in the price of copper in the local market.
Tha money market continues firm, but the
high rate for call loans""-ccached only 716 per
cent, compared with 0 per ceht yesterday. The
exnected- transfer of $1,000,000 by 'telegraph to
San Francisco was made, and an additional
$200,000 was tranferred to New Orleans, while
New York exchange at Chicago fell to a slight
discount. The price of gold rose in London,
and sterling exchange weakened here, but only
$100,000 was secured in London for New York
accounts Announcement was made of aboul
$750,000 of Japanese gold shipped for San Fran
cisco. The factors ia the advance In stocks
were In the form rather of rumors, the old
rumor of a Gould-Pennsylvania settlement flg"
uring to a large extent. The market closed
firm. '
The bond market was broader but rather Ir
regular. Total sales, par Yalue, $3,854,000.
United States 2s advanced Vt per cent on the
last call.

MOVEMENTS OF MONEY.
Transfers From New York and Japan to
San Francisco.
NEW YORK. Dec 1. One million dollars
was today transferred to San Francisco through
the Subtreastlry.
The National City Bank reports an additional
gold engagement of $100;000 in London.
Lazard Freres are informed that the London,
Paris & American Bank, Limited, of San Fran
cisco, has engaged 1,000,000 yen, about $500,000
Japanese gold, for shipment from Japan to
San Francisco.
The International Banking Corporation is Im
porting 500,000 "yen from Japan.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1. Tho transfer of
money from New York and Japan to this city
Is said by local bankers to be of no serious
significance. The greater portion of the coin
is intended to supply a market which is slight
ly restricted on account of the recent heavy
outlay for taxes and crop moving. The short
age of money is unanimously declared by finan
ciers to be but a temporary one.
The engagement of Japanese money Is ex
plained as a repetition of a system often em
ployed. The bank interested has considerable
sums on deposit In London. Instead of with
drawing them by the regular method of ex
change, it gives Japanese bankers exchange on
London and receives from Japan In return a
corresponding amount In new yen. Upon Its
arrival here, the Japanese money is turned Into
the mint and recolned. In this way a percent
age Is saved.

Wheat Declines at Chicago After a Strong
Opening.
CHICAGO, Dec 1. The fact that there were
practically no deliveries of December contracts
created bullish sentiment in December wheat
early, and an advance of c was made within
tho first hour. Reports of fine weather In
Argentina, comparatively small clearances,
lower prices in all outside markets and a fairly
large increase In elevator stocks in the North
west combined to create bearish sentiment to
ward the noon hour, and the market yielded to
the -pressure. May declining to 80c. Prices
rallied somewhat, but the close was lower,
with May off Sc, at 8031c
Corn ruled comparatively steady. May closed
a shade lower, at 42$42c .
Tho feature In oat was the liquidation in
May. May closed a shade lower, at 35c
Larger receipts of hogs than expected, and a
decline of 10c in prices at the yards caused
heavy selling of provisions. Tho. close was
steady, January pork being off 5c, lard a
shade lower and ribs down 7c
