A slight advance In the raw sugar market
at New York Monday leads the trade to look
for an upward movement In refined grades at
any moment. Several causes have contrib
uted to the strength of the market, but the
moat Influential was the cessation of opera
tions In Cuba, where torrential rains have
practically brought grinding to a stop. This
caused a slight advance in the European mar
keti where things were ripe for a change.
The demand there has been Increasing of
late, while the weather has proved unfavor
able for the growing crop In the Continental
beet field. Figures from Germany also show
largely Increased sugar exports and on the
whole the situation had assumed a more
cheerful aspect. All the July shipments of
Cuba. Porto Rieos and San Domingoa offered
have been taken over by Eastern refiners,
and much more will have to be secured. Java
sugars also advanced with exports) small,
many of the factories In the Island being
elow In beginning operations for the season.
The combination of these happenings has
given the raw sugar market a turn for the
better.
Stocks of raw sugar held in Cuba, accord
ing to the Ut&st advices, were 287,000 tons,
against 330.000 at the same time last year.
On the other hand, combined stocks of the
Atlantic ports and Cuba were 031,000 tons,
against 573,000 tons at the cams time a
year ago. That there can be no sharp ad
vance In values is, therefore, probable, ad
is stated by an Eastern broker:
"Sugar affairs Just now look good, but we
must not loose sight of the fact that there
is .still too much sugar in the world. There
is room for further improvement, but higher
prices must come along slowly. There will
be a great deal of sugar left over at the end
of this season, and another big crop wltl then
be ready for reaping. If the better feeling
now prevalent is played for more than It is
worth the big stork on hand and in prospect
will tend to make successful any campaign
that might be started to bring quotations1 back
again. There In atVfy in the. present basis.

NEW YORK HOP CROP.
HhU Storm Causes Kurt tier Damage to
Vines in That State.
Iatest advices from New York State point
to a hop crop considerably smaller than that
of last year. The new yards are doing well
enough, but many of the old yards have
failed. In Otsego, Oneida and Madison Coun
ties, a hail storm recently did much dam
age. An Oneonta paper mates that some of
the yards near there that were ruined have
been plowed up.
No late crop news has come to hand from.
England or Germany.
On this coast, conditions could not be im
proved upon. The Oregon crop cannot fatl
to be a record-breaker, and Washington will
also grow the Jblggest crop In Its history. Hops
In Western Washington arc said to be doing
even better than in the Willamette Valley,
while the Yakima crop is all that could be
wished for. According to fhe Santa Rosa
Republican California will have 05.000 bales
against 73,000 )at year. Sonoma County's
yield is estimated at 35,000 to 40,000 bales
aa compared with 24,000 last year.

Local Butter Situation.
No new developments have occurred in the
butter market this week. The city cream-,
erles report good movement and prices well
maintained. In the Front-street trade, no
improvement is to bs seen. Receipts are be
yond the capacity of the local trade to ab
sorb them, and but for a , shipping outlet,
further shading would be necessary. Coun
try store butter is In active demand.
The cheese market continues strong and
some dealers advanced their prices half . a
cent yesterday.

be large. The demand for young chickens

BLOCKED BY WOOL DEALERS.
Flan of Idaho Growers to Consign Entire
Clip 1-all.
BOrSE, Idaho, June 26. (Special.) The ef
fort by the Idaho Woolgrowera Association
to make arrangements for coraigning the
wool clip seems to have been a partial failure.
Fred W. Gooding, president of the associa
tion, went to Boston to make the necessary
arrangements. He has returned without hav
ing fully accomplished his purpose, lie has
not been to Boise since getting back, but
it appears he met with concerted refusal on
the part of the Boston banks to advance the
necessary money to move the entire clip.
Some money was secured, and a portion of
the wool can be shipped, but, as the matter
Is understood here, there can be no such gen
eral consigning as had been planned. It' Is
Jh- understanding that - the banks acted on
suggestions from the wool dealerx. the latter
considering it a fcerlous menace to their busi
ness for such a step to be taken by producers.

MANIPULATION IN EVIDENCE
Disturbed Conditions in Foreign
Financial Centers Prove an Ob
stacle to Securing Gold for
Import to New York,
NEW YORK, June 26. The Fall In prices
of stocks, which was in progress yesterday,
was extended considerably during the early
morning today. The easy yielding of prices
encouraged aggressive operations on the short
side by bear operators. With the course of
the trading, however, this class of operators
developed misgivings over the amount and
the kind of company they found themselves in.
The resumption of sensational advertising
methods to induce selling of stocks on the
part of a Boston speculative party caused
some apprehension that professional short sell
ing rather than the disposal of long stocks
was having most 'to do with the decline In the
market. The action of prices during the
morning indicated the purpose to make stocks
sell lower rather than to dispose of holdings
at an advantage. In St. Paul, no stock was
disposed of on the first break between 175 and
174, the latter price following the former on
a sale of only 500 shares. This Incident served
as a warning to the beaj-s- that they were
overextendlng themselves and a demand to
cover shorts, which gained In volume dur
ing the progress of the day, was the conse
quence. A substantial recovery In prices fol
lowed. It did not appear that the demand
which caused this recovery extended beyond
the uncovered short Interest. As prices got up
to the higher levels there was a decrease in
activity and a diminishing Inclination to buy
stocks.
There was no Important change in condi
tions affecting the market. Some calling of
loans was reported among- the banks for the
purpose of replenishing their reserves in
preparation for the July payments which are
unusually heavy thjs year, and are estimated
as high as f 125.000,000. The calling of loans
had no perceptible effect In the call loan
market, 5ut rates for time loans continued
at the higher level established: The mar
ket was deprived of the demand of life in
surance companies, owing to the new regula
tions for investment of the surplus of those
institutions. Selling by fire insurance com
panies has been In evidence also ever since
the San Francisco losses. This kind of sell
ing was a marked influence In the London mar
ket today and selling for Paris account was
also in evidence there. London Is also ap
prehensive of money trouble In connection
with the mining settlement now imminent. The
weekly report of the Imperial Bank of Ger
many serves as an explanation of the harden
ing of money rates there. These disturbed
conditions in foreign markets serve as an
obstacle to efforts, to secure gold for import
to New York.
A further decline In the London price of
copper made Amalgamated Copper vulnerable
for further attack this morning. The In
crease in the dividend rate of Anaconda dur
ing the afternoon left a large short interest
in the two stocks uncovered and their strong
rally furnished effective leadership for the re
covery of the general market. A continued
firmness of Southern Pacific kept alive ramors
of an Intended increase in the dividend rate.
After some irregularity in the late dealings,
the market closed lirm at the best prices . on
a final rally.

PUZZLED BY THE REMAINS
Two Bodies Resemble Alabama, Man
Who Disappeared.
BIRMINGHAM. Ala., June 26. Two
bodies, each of which is declared to bo
that of W. J. Marshall, a well-known
contractor, who disappeared from bia
home June 4, lie in a local undertaking
establishment. The family of Mr. Mar
shall had supposed that the man who
committed suicide by Jumping from a,
bridge at Little Rock. Ark., June 6,
was Mr. Marshall. S. H. Harris went to
Arkansas, recovered the body, which was
found in the river at Pine Bluff. Ark.,
and brought it here yesterday. Mr. Har
ris declares emphatically It is the body
of Mr. Marshall.
Yesterday on Red Mountain, south of
Birmingham, another badly decomposed
body was found, and the description of
clothing tallies so closely with that worn
by Mr. Marshall at the time of his dis
appearance that the Coroner is in a quan
dary. Marshall carried considerable In
surance, and agents of insurance compa
nies are especially active in the investi
gation. H. tr. WILSON. V. ENOIHOBB.
