SLOW DEMAND FROM EAST Ironmonger Cables London Market "Weak and Continental Markets Steady Latent Mail Koporls From the English Trade. In spite of th discouraging tone of cables and mail advices from Ijondon, there la a fair export Inquiry for hops and a number o transactions for lngllsh account were re ported yesterday. John Carmichael bought the Andrew Kan lot of 201 bale at Brooks At a price understood to be cents. Kola Neis waa also In the market, amonp Mb pur chaws being the Walllns lot of 180 bales, at Ilncoln, at about the sa.ru e price. These buyers represent the two largest hop-houses In London, and the fact that they have re-, umed buying lends" color to the toellef that the other English firms may aoon come Into the market. Purchases for the Fistern trade continue rather . light. O. Weldner & Co. yesterday bought the Freeman lot of 40 bales, at Butte vllle. at 4 cents. Hart ft Hubbard. In the lawt few days, have purchased fiOO bales of Oregon and 00 bales of Taktmas at prices ranging from 2 to cents, also a quantity of old. at 1 to l?i cents. A .sale of choice Yakima olds at 1 cent was reported yester day. Dealers' are asking the question whether or not the bottom' of the market has been reached. The quantity or hops still on hand In sufficient to make the market appear top heavy, yet it would occasion no surprise If a good buying movement were to set in, based on the attractiveness of present values to brewers. At the same time, there is noth lug In sight now that can ca.use Improvement In values. Ironmonger, of Ixmdon, yesterday cabled Isaac Pincus & Sonc, of Tacoma, as follows "Market very dull. Market has appearance of further decline. Continental markets quiet but steady.' English trade reports, bearing dates of February 1 to 5, follow i Wild. Xeame & Co., London There ha been a fair demand for the best hops during the pat week and several lots have gone into con sumption at current rates. Medium and low qualities continue difficult of sale and are eaeler In valu Manger ft Henlej-, toodon There ha been a considerable clearance of hops with color and quality, which makes It difficult to supply preaeat ' Inquiries. Choice hops are very scarce. H. ft H. L May, London The trade noted In our last week's report continues. Good medium qualities are being inquired for at the current rates now prevailing. - The Exchange A Hop Warehouses, London A fair business1 continues, several further loritr lota having been cleared during the week. prices, however, show no improvement at pres ent, but, now that the stocks are getting re duced. It is expected that prices will shortly harden. J. H. Meredith ft Co., Worcester Business shows no Improvement, transactions being of quite a retail character. Useful medium qualities are in most request and change hands at about .Vs to 60 per cwt., but con sumers are unwilling to pay the price asked for inferior lots. Choice samples are rarely offered. STORMS CHWK ITSTR1 BL'TIVE TRADE Jobbing" Orders of Small Size Retail Busi ness at Transition Point. NEW YORK, Feb. 21 . lrad?treets tomor row will say: Widespread" Mormy weather has had the efT-'ct of dulling distributive trade, interrupt ing railway traffic and restricting the move ment of grain to market to the smallest volume In months. In addition, floods In the Ohio and tributary valleys have re stricted industrial operations for a time. Jobbing trade, Judging from tho reports re ceived, continues as recently noted, a good sized aggregate of small orders for Immediate or near shipment being reported at leading market. Millinery, , drygoods and kindred lines are in chief demand, with staple goods preferred to novelties, which the latter are rather neglected. Retail trade Is at a transi tion point and is quiet as a whole, respond ing to the decreased purchasing power of the wage-earning - clashes Talk of reduction in wages by railroHds and others Is widespread. Industrial affairs show little change, with shutdowns or short time nbout counterbal ancing resumptions. There is, for instance, more doing in finished lines of iron and steel, but In crude forms rather less Is doing, and the leading producing interest in woolen goods reports 6.S per cent of its looms Idle. Collec tion are a trifle better, but request for ex tensions are still very numerous. Business failures in the United States for the week ending February 20 number JtL'ti, against S?Q last week. Ka I lures for the week In Canada number 45, as against 45 last week. Wheat, Including flour, exports from the United States and Canada for the week end ing February Co aggregated 3.291AOe4 bushels, against 2.932.401 this week last year. For the i4 weeks of the fiscal year the exports are 1M.89VV42A bushels, against 11&.816.242 la 1906-07. outside better is ttlssg rr. Feeding Is Not so Firm on Front Street. May Cio I-iO-wer. Firmness was not so apparent in tho Front-street butter market yesterday. Sup plies showed & tendency to accumulate, es pecially the better grades, and the view ias expressed that the present quotations might not long1 be maintained. The cheaper grade have worked off well and are not the depressing factor they were, but the in crease in production of good butter is to be reckoned with from now on, as the season will doubtless b an unusually early one. In the city creamery trade, some authori ties quoted the market firm and others only steady. Egg" nt Twenty Cents. Kggs have at last got down to the 20 ccnt mark and are weak at that. A few sales werft reported yesterday at 21 cents, but a good deal of business was done at the lower figure. There was a fair out-of-town in quiry, but little was done in the city. Many of the local retailers are getting eggs direct from farmers and some are trying to dispose of their surplus on the street. Poultry arrivals -were light and the de mand poor for everything except chickens. Holiday In "Wholesale District. The wholesale grocers will observe the holiday today by keeping their stores closed all day. In the produce district, most of the large houses announced their Inten tion of closing at noon. Vood Arrivals of Frenh Produce. Troduce receipts were on a liberal scale yesterday and business was of very fair proportions. Among the arrivals were two cars of celery, one of cauliflower, a mixed car of cabbage and cauliflower and three cars of oranges. Apples are coming In freely from nearby sections and the mar ket Is weakened thereby. . There were no new developments in the onion situation. The potato market was slow. Bank Clearings.

BUT MARKET IS SLUGGISH Trading Principally Between Pro- ) fesslonal Operators Bank State ment Shows Expected Gain in Cash, but Loans Are Larger. NEW YORK, Feb. 21. The- day's opera tions in stocks were almost wholly con fined to the customary closing up of open contracts by the professional operators on the eve of a holiday. The bearish sentiment which has prey ailed among the speculative element was revealed by the predominance of short contracts to be retired. Opposing traders were inclined to take advantage of the necessities of -the shorts by bidding up prices and striving to take the market away from their opponents. The narrow limita tions of the market to these professional operations was the subject of common agreement. It was supposed at the outset that the weekly bank statement would be given out at noon and there was some activity based on the assumption that a strong statement would be before the public before the mar ket closed. "When it became known that the statement would not be published until after 3 o'clock the dulness of the market was sensibly aggravated. The strong feature of the market was the group of copper Indus trials, with sympathetic effect on other metal Industrials. - A number of circum stances combined to give this group strength. It has suffered acutely from pressure for some time, during which a considerable short Interest has been built .up. Yesterday and today the downward course in the metal price, which encouraged the selling of the securities, has been halted and a sharp rebound recorded. , -The signifi cance of the rebound in the prices of the metai is somewhat obscured by the specu lative conditions which surround its market, especially that for London copper warrants. The course of copper gives evidence, how ever, that the sales of the metal effected on the recent decline have relieved the pres sure of supplies seeking a market. Many as sertions were circulated today of the volume of sales which nave been made, but these were given out without credited authority and official sanction not obtained for them. The resumntion of dividends by the Brooklyn YlnI6n Gas Company gave an up ward impetus to the stock of its associate company, the Consolidated Gas Company. It was reported from the loan crowd at the stock exchange that return of borrowed stocks was a prominent feature of the 'day's operations, but corroborating the supposition of the retirement of short contracts going on. There was a conspicuous rise in Louis ville & Nashville, which was attributed to the substance of the statement made by the president of the company relative to the wage reduction question. That question continued to receive much discussion in th financial district together with the probable bearing on Investigations of conditions or dered by the president of the United States. Some influence on the speculative tone was felt from the Intimation that the Interstate Commerce Commission might nave Informa tion in reply to the President which might tend to uphold the contention of railroad companies for the necessity of retrenchment of labor cost. Rates for time money for the longer periods showed a continued advancing ten dency today. Responses to the condition of National banks on February t4, made to day, will be followed with interest as In dicating the prospect In the money market. Foreign exchange also was firm. A sharp contraction in the week's outgo of wheat, compared with last week, ' helps to explain a scarcity of commercial bills in the ex change market. The bank statement dis closes the fully expected gain In cash, but the loan expansion appears unexpectedly heavy, apparently on account of payments of subscriptions to the New York City bond Issue. Canadian Pacific stock subscriptions during the week alo made additions to the loan showing. .tfonas were Irregular.
