HOPS LOOK BETTER
Market Shows Improvement
but Is Still Quiet,
MORE INQUIRIES FROM EAST
Sales Made in Last Few Days Prove
That Values Have Not Decllned-r-Strength
In New York and'
England.
The hop market, although it continues In
active, maintains a Arm tone, with a somewhat
better feeling; on the part of holders than was
shown early. In the week. This improvement
has been occasioned by the receipt of a good
many Inquiries from Eastern dealers and brew
en, though no negotiating la reported for for
eign account.
The most important sale made lately was at
Ealem on Wednesday, when T. A. Llvesley b
Co. sold 100 bales to Jessup, buying for L.
Horet & Co. The price paid was 30 cents,
and the hops arc reported to have graded
prime. This shows that values are as good
now as at any time this year. One or two
sales of smaller lots were made recently, the
bops Involved being of Inferior quality and the
price under 30 cents, practically the same fig'
tire at which they were formerly held.
Cables received from London yesterday re
ported a strong market there. Uew Tork ad
vices were of firm prices, but not much ac
tivity
A Tacoma report eays: "At least one bop
sale was made In Tacoma yesterday. Herman
Xlaber & Co. disposed of 100 bales at 29 cents.
These hops were below grade; and, in fact, all
Inquiry at present seems to be for that class
of goods. The b.uyers ar men who have sold
ahort, and in order to save what they can on
the rapid rises of the last few months they
are delivering the poor grade hops. There Is
more inquiry for hops in the Hast than for
several days, but there is nothing doing in
London. Correspondents at London, however.
say that the outlook is good for business soon.'

IRON MARKET STRONG.
Large Consumption Is Looked for Next
Year.
CLEVELAND, O., pec 1. Actual develop
ments, as well as the well-founded expectation
that 1905 is to be a year of large consumption
of lronand steel In tho United States, eays the
Iron Trade Review, give a very strong tone to
the market- In the past week a further ad
vance In Northern pig Iron has taken place.
and bar Iron is from $1 to $2 higher, while old
material has advanced In all markets.
While the number of pig Iron buyers the past
week was small compared with that of a month
or six weeks ago, they represented in not a
few cases large consuming capacity and the
size of their purchases at the newly estab
lished level indicates how unexpected the up
turn was. A large machinery interest In the
Pittsburg district has bought 12.000 tons at an
advance over last week, and. Central Western
pipe works have taken 20.000 to 25.000 too.
Northern furnaces have all put up prices In
. . ....... . . ,
the week, and $16 is now asked for 3fo. 2.
Bessemer Iron has advanced to $16.25 and
$15.50 at Central Western furnaces.
A steel bar meeting will occur early in De
cember, and an advance of $2 a ton is a prac
tical certainty. Bar iron has advanced $2 a
ton further.
Among advances expected is one of $2 to $4
on wire goods, and $2 a ton on wire sails.

MARKET IS MANIPULATED
PRICE MOVEMENT SHOWS DIREC
TION 1Y PROFESSIONALS.
Strong Spots In Stocks Developed
Rotation Northern Securities
Rumors.
NEW YORK. Dec 1. Prices moved upward
in the opening dealings in stocks today In a
fairly uniform Nnanncr. But that was the last
of uniformity in the day's market. There were
many strong epots, and they were developed In
rotation, spreading the effect of the strength
through the session of the Stock Exchange.
but the general list did not become animated
it any time, and the day's business wae con
siderably contracted from the recent average.
Some of the most notable features of recent
advances were laggard or inclined to- eag on
light offerings. As against the sharp gains
in special stocks, there were no well defined
weak epots, but only dullness and heaviness.
There is still unabated confidence that the
tranquility of the money market is not to be
disturbed for the year-end requirements, al
though It is commonly expected that rates will
work somewhat closer. So long as money
rates remain easy, there seems nothing that
can disturb speculative confidence la the mar
ket.
There was a revival of confidence that the
Northern Securities decision was imminent.
but some uncertainty was professed as to
what its character would be, so that this
served to induce some hesitation rather than
to stimulate speculation, as has usually been
the caee. The strength of St. Paul was gen
erally attributed, however, to hope of an early
decision of the Securities case.
The most notable advances were divided be
tween stocks of an extremely high class and
those of little tried and suspected Issues. Th!
apparent anomally la easier to understand when
it Is considered that both classes of stocks are
likely to be not widely distributed, and In con
sequence easy to move. The Junior Vandcr-
bilts were conspicuous examples of the class
today. A distinctly detected absorption for
investment of this group of etocks is of greater
sentimental effect on the market for secur
ities than almost any other act that could be
named In the operations of the market. For
this reason a concerted advance In the group
is a favorite device of the market leaders to
help along the rest of the market by sympathy.
The rapid manner In which these prices were
advanced today was sufficient to mark the
movement as suspicions, the railroad investor.
as has been truly observed, not following the
manner of a bargain-counter rush to secure
hie holdings.
The rise In Amalgamated Copper was based
on rumors of an intended Increase In the divi
dend on ono of its subsidiary companies.
Railroad earnings reported were generally fa
vorable. The conclusion of the London settle
ment occasioned a favorable influence from
that source. The December settlements here
and the payments of a $20,000,000 Installment
on Southern Pacific stock induced a firmer
tone both for call and time loans, but this
was not an effective Influence in the stock
market. The reactionary tendency became
fairly general, however, later In the day, and
the closing was weak and generally below last
night's level of prices.
Bonds were easier. Total eales, par value.
$7,605,000. United States 4s coupon advanced

CHICAGO. WEAKENS ON HEAVY
SELLING IN MINNEAPOLIS.
December Deliveries There Amount to
Million Bushels Better Weather
in Argentina.
CHICAGO. Dec 1. At the start wheat
was strong. Higher prices at Liverpool and
unexpectedly small receipts In the North
west were the factors mainly responsible .for
the Initial firmness December was up
to H cents to $1.OS01.O8, and May up
X8 cents at $l.C33i1.10. Owing to ex
ceedingly light deliveries In December con
tracts, shorts were active bidders for that
option, and as offerings were hard to find.
the price quickly advanced to $1.00. In
sympathy May sold up to $1.10. Toward
the end of the first hour, sentiment gradually
shifted to the bear side. With incroased
offerings by pit traders, prices eased oft.
The weather was still dry throughout the
Winter wheat country, but Kansas City sent
reports of some snow flurries in parts of Mis
souri. The prospect of moisture In the
drouth-stricken region gave courage to sell
ers. In regard to the effect of the dry
weather, a Cincinnati trade paper asserted
that the time bad not yet been reached for
assuming a positively pessimistic view and
this helped to allay some of the uneasiness
of the market. Late In the day. buying
took an additional set-back as a result bt
heavy selling by Northwestern houses. At
Minneapolis, deliveries on December con
tracts reached the astonishing figures of
1.000.000 bushels. In consequence, the Do
cember discount under May In that market
was confined to 4 cents at one time. The
weakness there was reflected in the trading
here. A late cablegram from Argentina
stated that the weather was Improving and
this also had a weakening influence on the
market. At $1.071. December reached the
lowest point of the day. May declined to
$1.09. The market closed barely steady
with December at $1.03. May closed off
6K cent at ?1.0&fil.09.
Heavy primary receipts and weakness of
wheat caused an easier tone in corn. Trad
ing was light. May closed 1 cents lower
at 45 ?c
In oats trading was not heavy. May closed
a shade lower at 31U831Uc.
Heavy receipts of hogs brought out some
selling' of provisions with Intimations of a
considerable increase in contract stocks. An
easy tone prevailed throughout the entire
session. At the close May pork was off 10
cents, lard and ribs each were down 2 cents.
