NATVRAL CCU'RSE OF HOP MARKET
Mr. 1JU en trial's Opinion of F.iport Con
ftlgnnients. NBW YORK. April 23. (To the Editor )
It Is some time since I have allowed my
flf this prixilego of writing you. but if
you will refer back to my communications
f a year rro. ou will find that my antlrU
pHtlmis of the market were entirely real
lEcd. Considering that my advices at the time
were discredited and that my competitors
attempted to prove an actual shortage of
supply. I think, perhaps. 1 am entitled to at
least an "hoitraMe mention."
I have no new ad vice to offer, and be
lieve imw that natural courses will work out
their own condition? mercilessly. It remains
a matter of astonishment to me that larse
experts of l!on and I110T crops were made to
l.'nd n tins yejir, and it seems almost silly
that rowers shnTild allow themcelves to ha
constantly deluded hy the misrepresenta
tion "f ery inaccuriit e. If well meaning, so
ltiitors of onslntinients do not see
that the prices in lndon today will leave
anything for the t!uH crop, and more than
to 2', cents on !M7s. No combination
pmongsi t!ie growers that appeals only to
nelrtxh motives, ran be successful, and no
combination will e er benedt its participants
t hjit do4-s not carry with It a temporary
eaTtflce.
A. b,Tleve that there are methods of ro
operatlVi that can be introduced fur mak
ing stat-f." hop prices and markets, but. as
1 have .lulieuted, this means i-oncssdims in
the present i t greater advantages in the
fut ure .
I shall be very glad to receive personal
communications from nny of our growers,
and. to give them the benefit of such data
and Information as f am very careful to

The egg market maintained Its firmness
yesterday. Re'-etpts were moderate and sales
were generally made at 17 to 17 4 cents,
with little business reported at ls cents.
Because of the lightness of arrivals, the
opinion prevails that supplies are belug held

On In Union Pacific Steel
ftolds Up Very Well,
NEW YORK. April 2f Operations for
higher prices of slocks had to contend to
day with larger offerings for sale than
have been met with hitherto in the various
stages of the upward movement. This ob
stacle ad its effect in unsettling the market
at various periods during the day and told
on the speculative temper. On the other
hand, efforts to advance prices were fur
thered br the urgent demand from the rem
nant of the outstanding short Interests,
which was an effective feature In some of
the sharpest advances In Individual stocks
which, were witnessed.
The suspension of another stock, exchange
firm today, following the suicide yesterday
of the junior member, was followed by a
large volume of wild transactions in the
course of buying !n stocks for the firm's
account. These developments have had the
effect of arousing timidity among lenders of
stocks to procure shares for holding open
their committments on th short side. This
state of affairs has aMed( the bulls in ex
tending the rise In prices and has much re
duced the outstanding short Interest.
The factors which goverened the trading
were nut changed in important particulars
from those of the recent past. The coming
financing of the Cnlon Pacific Is much dwelt
upon, and Its assurances of success are be
liered in. Market operations today shifted
to Southern Pacific In contrast to the real
izing going on In Vnlon Pacific. The ad
vantage of position of the Hill railroads and
St. Paul by reason of new heavy stock
Issues, which were subscribed for before. the
financial crisis of last year, is pointed to In
connection with the rise In those stocks.
The quarterly report of the United States
Steel Corporation was much commented
upon, and its showing was not helpful to
the general"" market, although the prices of
the stocks of the corporation were quite
generally held. The downward course of
iron keeps alive expectations of a cut in
the prices of finished products before ad
vantage can be felt from the improved
financial position of the railroads.
Time money rates were notably firmer to
day and foreign exchange rates receded In
connection with the further engagement of
gold for export. The unsettlement of the
market grew perceptfbiy as the day pro
gressed. Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par
