mand. As staled some time ago. the opening price
on California walnuts, announced by tho
"Walnut (irowera' Association, was regarded
as very low in view of tho, probable short
age In tho crop. It now develops that only
about half a crop has been produced and
dull verb s will be correspondingly tight.
The local trade has received the following
circular from Arlss, Campbell & Ciault, rep
resentatives of -the association, which ex
plains the situation:
"We are just In receipt of letters from
t he various walnut associations which we
represent and the general tone of all these
letters would Indicate that the crop would
fall very much short of first estimates, in
tact lai st estimates put the crop at only
about 00 per cent of what was first esti
mated. They find, after beginning to pick,
t hat the crop is all on the outside of the
tree, which, of course, uccounts for their
misjudging the sizo of the crop originally.
"From all appearances now the deliveries
will be made pro rata and possibly as
low as 0t per cent deliveries will be made on
orders, our principals, however, express tho
hope that tin y will be able to do better
than tills.
YWe, of course, n grit to adviso you of
this condition, but we feel It is our duty
to do go In order tli;i you can advise the
retailer that .you will not be able to make
full delierks on your orders, providing you
have sold futures to cover your purchases."
Nut only are walnuts going to be high,
but stilt prices are looked for all through
the nut list this season. Almonds, the
first car of which ha- arrivod, aro quoted
II to 4 cents higher than at the opening
of last Mt'Ufct'ii. I'eeans are also higher and
the optMitrg prieo on extra large will be
37' cents. Brazils are ulmost out of the
market and w hat can be secured will bring
3 0 cents. Arrivals of new walnuts will be
gin in about two weeks.

A brief tel. 'graphic outline was given in
this paper Wcdncsd;i y of the plan of So
noma growers to ship a blm-k of hops to
London. The Santa liosa Republican of
etoher 22 gives further details of the
scheme, as follow s:
Secretary Sidney Gibbons, of the Sonoma
County Jlop Growers' Exchange, is inter
viewing the growers on a business propo
sition that may mean considerable to those
who aVc interested.
A plan is propose! by which it is hoped
to secure a pool of" on-"--third of the hops m
this vicinity and ship them at once tn Eng
land. Hops are polling there for I15 to -in
fMits per pound mid hero thty are only
bilnmng about 15 rents at present.
An English firm has made the proposition
to tho hop giovorn and will guarantee It
and 15 cents per pound right here, will
ay the expensesTif a man rhoscii by Hie
Imp growers to Mnd from England, mid will
ause the hops to be shipped to England
at once. This representative of the hop
growers ts to have absolute control of .the
bops, will be turnislo'ii with inside infor
mation there by the English firm, amf w ill
g i v his p( rson;i 1 a 1 1 en: I'm to t he market .
None f (he hops will be fold until this
l e present all ve says the wot d and orders
them placed on the market, In this manner
it is expected that :'. cents per pound rim
bo secured for th hops s nl across the
water. The English firm will charge only
one per rent commission and out of this
will pay the tare of the Sonoma County rep
resentative across the ocean aud return, and
will pay bis expenses while he is thej-s
watting the s.ile of the hops. Tho grow
ers will pHy tun freight and Insurance on
their hops.
Secretary Gibbons is enthusiastic over thr
proposition, and is meeting with great pii-
tura fioment Not otic hop grow t a p
proaehreS with the proposition bus failed
to accept i lie sa me. and in the near future
It is b"iieed there will b- heavy ship
ments from Santa Kosa to Knglatid. Sec
retary Gibbons declares thnt the single
per cent is an alhn tn: lntuic as compared
with past experiences. v hen prow ors have
paid one per cent he re a art a not her in New
S'ork, and auotlvr in England. H" says
the grower usually pays out obout . cents
In commissions before his hnpq rench the
consumer, and that in New York as high us
3 sad 4 cents is demanded t times.
At the meet i ng el the hop P rowers Sat ur
day afternoon it was deeided to take the
tep: which the secretary endeavoring
to rut ry out ;if present. N- xt Suturdny a
general meeting of the hop growers will be
held, in order to have a general discussion
of the matter. The hanging of the by
laws will nlso come up for consideration

MARKET IN CHECK
Stock Speculation Restrained
by Banking Interests.
DAY'S BUSINESS IS SMALL
Progress of London Settlement Is
Watched With Interest Call
Money Again Easier Clos
ing Is Weak.
NEW YORK, Oct. 23. It would b dif
ficult to extract a meaning from the action
of today's stock market, beyond the nega
tive inference of the determined abstention
of all operators of any importance. The
total tales for the day expanded slightly
over those of yesterday, but the increase
was dona during the first hour. For most
of the day the market had a more stagnant
appearance than for a long time past.
The dullness was partly attributed to the
understanding that banking interests
frowned upon trie idea of any present spec
ulative activity. Such essays as are made
by traders to initiate a price movement
bring to light the fact that the matter is
in a suspended state A rise In prices
brings out stocks tn sufficient volume to
check it, while a drive against prices will
me.-t support In the shape of buying or
ders. The present political campaign Is
conceded to have some influence in de
pressing the speculation and in suspending
financial plans which were supposed to be
working out, and were relied on to stimu
late speculation.
Some udditional attention was again given
to friction of workmen on railroads both
East and West. Denials were offered on
behalf of some of the roads affected that
any serious consequences were expected
from the demands being made, but the re
ports by telegraph of the Intended demands
persisted. The Increasing shortage of
freight cars was said to be reaching a
stage where some of the receivers were re
Iorted to be refusing grain offered for
transportation.
The progress of the London settlement
was watched with much interest. Tomor
row is the day for payments on the stock
market settlement, and any financial diffi
culties would be disclosed at that time. Call
money was again easier in this market,
notwithstanding further remittances from
here to London and to the South for cotton-moving
purposes. The Government re
port on cotton ginned was regarded as sat
isfactory, but made no Impression on stocks.
Trading was heavy during the last and the
closing was ea..y.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par
value, l,4ts4.000. United States bonds were
unchanged on call.

BOY OF 11 STAR STUDENT
M6st Remarkable College Youngster
Just Doles on Philosophy.
I
Boston Despatch.
Albert Wiener. 11 years old, is the
youngest college student in the United
States, if not in the world. He will be
graduated three years before the average
boy thinks of entering college.
This lad, who is considered the most
remargable youngster in the country, is
a son of Professor Ljeo Wiener, of Har.
vard, and he was entered In Tufts Col
lege with an ease that surprised the fac
ulty of that institution.
I don't see why any one is interested
In me just because I am young," he re
marked to a reporter. "I don't see any
thing wonderful in being fond of study.
Philosophy la more Interesting to me than
fairy tales. In fact philosophy is fairy
land to me.
'Do I play? Of course I do. Swim
ming is my forte. When I have partici
pated in the boys' games, I like to rest,
and then I turn to my Huxley or my
Spencer."
Professor Wiener thinks his son is so
far advanced by reason of his tremend
ous memory. He said:
"At first we didn't think he was so
bright, though he could say his alphabet
at 18 months. Ho could read, write and
spell at 3 years, and began Latin at 5.
At 8 he was fitted for college in mathe
matics, philosophy, Latin, German and
the sciences. Now he is ahead of his
class.
"For instance, his certificate from the
Ayer High School admitted him to Tufts
in some studies, but not In all. So he
took examinations in physiology, botany
and triKonometry, which are not required
for entrance in any college. He demon
strated that in mathematics he was far
ahead of the freshman class, and so he
is doing npper-class worlt in the theory
of equations and determinates. He is so
well versed in philosophy that he has
been placed in a class by himself.
"Comparative philosophy, of course, he
has done, and many of the sciences.
Mathematics is an open book to him.
Geometry and trigonometry are simple,
and he has mastered analytics. He knows
more about higher mathematics than the
average graduate who has made a spe
cialty of them.
"Zoology, botany, chemistry, physics
he has them all. But it is always to
philosophy that he trims. For instance,
when you come to chemistry, it is the
philosophy of chemistry that interests
him the most.
"The classics? Oh. they are simple
enough. He has done his Caesar, Cicero,
Ovid and Virgil, and now he is taking up
Greek. He knows German. He is taking
it up at Tufts for the literary side. But
don't let any one think we are forcing
him. We are not. He is lazy and doesn't
study as much as the average boy of his
age. He learns by reading, reasoning and
remembering."
At the moment this youngster is tack
ling Latin. Knglish, mathematics, phys
ics, chemistry, biology, mental and moral
science, philosophy, Greek and German.
He will be a post-graduate B. A. at Har
vard before hfi is 15.
