BUTTER Front-street prices easy. EGGS Steady and unchanged. POULTRY Demand is better. FRUIT lineal trade Quieter. Consumption of Japanese cement la increasing- In thfs part of the country, due partly to the shortage of the European article and also to the facility with which the Japanese prod uct can be brought here. A report by United Ftatea Consul-General H. B. Miller, at Yoko hama, on the progreflB of the Japanese tn the production of cement Is. therefore, of Interest. He predicts the opening of an era of ex pansion in this line, baaing Ms belief on the lively demand that he fef-Is sure Is to come from Corea, Manchuria, parts of Russia and i.ther Rastern countries. He write: Nine years ag'. Japan's export of cement amounted only to $sooo In value, but in 1003 It had increased to ?20fo0O. The war tem porarily checked the Growth of the Industry, the rrstoration of pa revived It. Not only Is the demand for Japanone cement springing up in ("orra and Man-'hurfa. but large orders received from San Francisco, brought about by the recent catastrophe, gave a great im petus to It. All the 5to-k In the market has been cleared and the manufacturers are busily fiigagrd In trying to meet requirements. The amount exporled In 1S!m was .tin,i(i,858 pounds, valued at yiLVIs..; in lfiV, 41i, 14U.249 pounds, valued at $l7.r;io. L'p to the. end of May thia year the value of cement exported had reached over $211,500, while the figures for the corresponding period of the two preceding years were $9D,oCO and $K'J ,-o0. respectively. That Is to say, the quantity exported during the first five months of this year exceeded that fur the whole f last year. The principal countries to which cement was exported during the whole of 1005 and the flrst four month of this year are as follow a. the flsures representing tons of 20uo pounds.

Hitherto the situation looked a bit black. A new stage of development seems to have opened up. I.AItH.U BLOCKS OF HOI'S SOLD. Cream of the" Crop Heine Bought Vp at Full Values. Several large sales of hops occurred yes terday, hut the parties interested took ef fective means to prevent any publtclty and the local trade was very much in the dark an to what tho day's operations actually were. It was believed,' however, that the volume of business -exceeded that of any preceding day of the week. The quietness with which tho market is being worked la regarded as a good indication by tho.se who do not favor the boosting tactics imUalgvd In on an Inflated market. Growers would be more pleased, however. If more light could be thrown on the transactions. Tho latest dals reported show bona fide purchases at 15 and 16 cents, where the hops are of export quality. There wore ru mor of 16H-ccnt offers, but they could not be verified. K labor. Wolf & Netter. of this city, and John Carmichaol, the Hulem agent of "vV'l- g-an, Richardson & Co., of London, were ( known to be buying yesterday. The local firm secured several lots In different flec tions, paying full values, but the particu lars could not be learned. Carmichaol was reported to have bought the J. "vV. Foster lot of US bales at Perrydale, also another lot la which the samo grower was Inter ested. It was reported at the Belvedere In the evening that the Criswell lot, 326 bales choice, had been sold at BultevlUe during the day; also the Johnson lot at Aurora, both for bettor than 15 cents. BVTTEK PlI.INt; I P. Front-Street Prices Knslcr, Vlth No Ship ping Outlet. The attempt to maintain butter prices on Front street In the face of increasing re ceipts proved unsuccessful, especially as there was no shipping outlet for the Fur plus, and the best brands can now be had Rt 37Vj cents. City creamery butter ls pen erally In good supply, but soma shortening of the cream output ls looked for if the weather becomes colder. One creamery holds to the advanced price of 32H cents, but the others are rlll at 80. Country store butter Is coming forward more freely. There was a good demand for the poultry arrivals of yesterday and prices were quot ed firmer. Eggs moved off well at tho former quota tions. Fruit Trade Quiet. A fair amount of business was done In the fresh produce line, but there was not much snap to trade. Two cars of bananas and two of sweet potatoes arrived during the day. Local grapes proved scarce and the Cali fornia stock on hand sold well. Apples were In fair demand. Green vegetables were quoted steady. Bank Clearings.

Heavy Decline in Stocks in All Markets. - NEW YORK, Oct? 10. The Bank of FJn land sent a eensatlon pulsating through the financial markets of the whole world by Its unexpected action today In advancing ita offi cial minimum discount rate from 5 to 6 per cent, following an advance from 4 to 5 per cent on October 1. The speculative position In all markets was disturbed and seems to have been more acute here than in foreign markets. The rush to sell at the openinjf of Jthe mar ket hero was emphasized by vague fears that some undisclosed development may be behind the drastic measure by tho great central In stitution of English finance. Some financial difficulty In the banking world or a new phase of the Russian financial situation wasH most feared. Prompt inquiry established that nothing more was Involved than the neces sity that was forced upon the English bank to stop the drain upon Its reserve fund. The Immediate factor in precipitating the action was the threatened withdrawal of $5,000,000 from the bank for shipment to Egypt. This in Itself would make an inroad upon the de pleted reserve supply which would suggest peremptory measures to check it. The down ward plunge in sterling- exchange In this mar ket also opened trite way for renewed negotia tions for securing incoming gold in Ixmdon for New York account. The effect was an im mediate rebound In exchange rates with the running up of the money rate In New York. Rates for time loans were strongly bid at 6 per cent for all dates and efforts were re ported to negotiate some very large loans on time. Lenders were little incltned to place funds except for the longer period. Call loans advanced to 7 per cent comparatively carly In the day. The forecasts of the week's currency move ment did not tend to ease the tone of the money market. The outgo to the interior by express seems to have amounted' to nearly $5,000.0ti0. The shipments to Canada and a remittance to Manila have called for almost as much, but these were about offset by the gain In Sub-Treasury operations and the re ceipt of foreign gold. Thp net loss to the banks, however, is estimated at from $5,000, 000 to $7,000,000. The present course pursued by the Bank of England ha Us latest parallel In the period following1 the outbreak of the Boer War in 1S01. After raising the official rate to 5 per cent In November, the rate went to 6 per cent on the last day of November. This action was not Immediately effective in the open money market in London nor in the exchange rate In New York. But in the course of De cember gold bgan to go out from New York, and withdrawals continued In spite of the acute stringency in the call money market, which finally ran the rate up to 1R6 per cent at the stock exchange In the third week of December. Draettc liquidation In the stock market was forced before the stringency was broken. Practically no other subject was conFldered In the market today, although the levying of fines on the New York Central for giving of rebates and the conviction of the Standard Oil Company in the suit for conspiiHcy in an Ohio court were cited as incidents likely to depress the markets. These and all other considerations were owallowed up In Jthe dom inant effect of the response in the money market to the Bank of England's action. The stock market was quiet and free from urgent pressure during the latter part of the day. Recoveries from the low point were incon siderable and the closing tone was heavy. United States bonds were unchanged on calls. Bonds were weak. Total eales, par value, $2,244,000. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. , Cl'sing Sales. High. Low. bid.
