EXPORT HOP BUYING
Purchases by Carmichael and
Kola Neis.
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

Manger ft Henlej-, toodon There ha been a
considerable clearance of hops with color and
quality, which makes It difficult to supply

Good medium qualities are being inquired for

A fair business1 continues, several further loritr

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

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.

Helps All the Metal Industrial
Stocks.
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. Total sales, par

I'lrm Market at Liverpool Is Chief
Strengthening Influence Distant

der Selling Pressure.
CHICAGO. Feb. 21. The wheat market
was Irregular and nervous today, the May
delivery showing considerable' strength,
while July and .September were inclined to
be weak The distant deliveries were sold
by Southwestern interests, presumably on
the favorable outlook lor the Fall-sown
crop.
Aside from liberal exports of wheat from
Argentina during the week, there was noth
ing else in the news of the day to weaken
the market. Cash interests and shorts were
the principal buyers of May. A firm mar
ket st Liverpool was the chief strengthening
Influence. May opened 14c to c
higher at 92 IB93C, sold between 92c and
93?93 54c and closed &c higher at
93 Vic.
The com market whs firm for the greater
part of the day, despite liberal selling of
July by commission-houses. All offerings
were readily taken by shorts. Small local
receipts had a strengthening "erfeet. The
oats market was weak early in the day on
selling by commission-houses, but became
firm with wheat and corn. Provisions, with
the exception of mederate weakness at the
opening. Were firm nearly all day. Commission-houses
and local packers were active
buvers.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
