The revival of Interest In the hide market
I one of the meet encouraging eigr.s of the
returning of normal conditions In the East
ern States. The hide market Is exceedingly
sensitive to monetary conditions and Is so
closely related to other lines of business, the
leather and shoe trade, the packing Indus
try, etc., that any Improvement In lt con
dition la but the reflection of betterment tn
otner orancnee of Induetry. When the
money troubles occurred last Fair the hide

lurnp In prices was greatest, quotations at
V minimum being only half what they
were a few mcnthe before.
The tide has turned now and prices have
a general upward tendency, though the course
of values to likely to be Interrupted at times
by temporary market conditions. At the
moment there Is a good demand all over the
country and price are (Irmly maintained.

dry calf skins at 16 cent.
In Its latest lasue Dun's Review says of
the general hide market:
"Packer hides are well sustained at late
selling rates, but most sales recently have
been of a scattering nature and In some In
stances at ic over figures quotable on large
blocks to big buyers. About mid-week the
Unite States Leather Company entered the
market for a block of about 25.000 branded
hides. Including all kind, of these. Cattle

throughout country districts limit tha re
ceipts of short-haired country hides, and as
, the demand for these Is good, tanners have
been obliged to pey fancy prices to secure
desirable lots. Country hides have advanced
egsin, with sales of bun's tn Chicago at llc.
The foreign hide markets continue excited
and the Paris auction sales about the first
of the month resulted In extreme advances
ranging from 12 to 28 per cent on heavy
hides. Latin American dry hides are a full
cent higher than a week ago, with advances

KC OGLES ATTACKED BY RED SPIDER
Late Hop Not AiTeeted by the Insect
Pest.
Hop experts who have Investigated the red
spider trouble say the pest so far has only
attacked the -Fuggles. The attack is by no
means general, buw a few yards between Salens
and Sllverton are badly hurt. Very little
la known here about fighting the pest, which
seems proof against ordinary spraying. The
Insect makes Its web on the under side of
the leaf and la hard to dlsldcge. Its pres
ence to known by the leaf turning red. Wash
ington bopmen aay the ravages of the Insect
are always checked by rain.
New York hop crop1 conditions are reported
by the latest state papers as follows:
Local rains have put a brighter face on the
feopyerds tn this vicinity and the burrs have
developed Into quite sizable hops In the early
varieties. With hop-picking only about two
weeks off. there Is now little chance .of the
further development of the vine, and the
crop la sure to be a light one, lighter even
than was at first estimated. Watervllle
Times.
Hops are slowly coming out of the burr,
much more slowly than usual and some grow
ers express the opinion that some will not
get out at all. Rain la again much needed
at thrts rime. Our advices from the other hop
counties of the. state agree that the crop
will be one-third short on the average, aa
predicted of the crop In Schoharie County.
Schoharie Republican.
Although the hop crop will be considerably
lees than an average yteld. the vine looks
healthy and bright and a hop of fine quality
is looked for. Hop-plcklng will be with us
within three weeks. Morrlsvlile" Leader.
There Is no change In the hop situation,
the continued dry weather I retarding the
ST.comlng crop considerably. They are com
ing out of the burr very slowly. A little rain
would Improve matters somewhat, but could
not make up for all that has been lost.
Cooperstown Farmer.
The extremely hot weather of last week
was unfavorable to the hop crop In Frank
lin County and many growers report that lice
are on the increase. Some yards are also
effected by honey dew to some extent. Hops
a -e now in the burr and the unfavorable con
ditions' noted have had the effect of check
ing the growth. Malone Gaxette.

G083 BRISTOL BAY PACK
CAXXERS NOT PREPARED FOR
SUCH HEAVY RUX.
Capacity of N'ushagak River Plants
Taxed to Utmost First of
Fleet Arrives.
A6TORIA, Or..' Aug. 18. The first of the
salmon fleet to arrive here from the canner
rles on the NushagaJc River. Bristol Bay,
Alaska, was the steamer North Star, of the
Alaska Fishermen's Packing Company, which
put In an appearance this morning, after hav
ing sailed from the North on August 6. All
on board were well and ahe reported that
during the entire season the health of the
cannery workers was excellent and there was
not an accident of any consequence to any
one of the several thousand men working in
the different canneries.
The pack of all was entirely satisfactory
and. In fact, all the cans that had-been pre
pared were easily filled and many more could
have been if they had been available. It
was believed, when the vessels started North,
that the season would be a poor one and
that the price would be low, so only a small
pack was prepared for. Events have turned
out different, however, as the pack in South
eastern Alaska has "been a practical failure,
which makes the Bering Sea pack much more
valuable, and all the canners now regret that
they had not made preparations for a larger
pack.
The Individual packs of the three canneries
owned on the Columbia are aa follows: Alas
ka . F1shermen"s Packing Company, 42.000:
Portland-Alaska Fishing Company. 56,000:
Columbia River Packers Association, 81.000.
The other canneries on the Nushagak River,
especially those of the Alaska Packers' Asso
ciation, had equally good luck.
The ship Henry VHIard. with the pack of
the Alaska Fishermen's Packing Company,
was towed out of the river on August and
under the conditions experienced by the North
Star, should arrive within a few days. The

Affected by Rumors of Hill's Ill
ness Demand for Money Is
Light Bonds Irregular.
NEW TORK. Aug. 18. In Its etsentlal fea
tures, today's stock market was largely a
repetition of yesterday's. Prices moved with
the eame uncertainty, the buying, and selling
representing for the most part the operations
of the professional element. Trading during
the early session was In larger volume than
on the previous day, but later became listless
and devoid of significance.
There was an early drive against Great
Northern and "Northern Pacific, based on
rumors of the serious Illness of James J. Hill.
Although these reports were soon authorita
tively denied, those stocks held heavy through
out. Part of the day's board-room gosip
dealt wlth the possibility of a reductUm In
the Great Northern and Northern Paclfle divi
dends, but Inasmuch as action on these divi
dends Is still some two months off, this was
not taken seriously.
In the Industrials, American Smelting and
Amalgamated Copper were active and atrong
In spite of the belief that conditions In the
metal trade are less favorable than ihey were
a fortnight ago.
In the final hour, shorts were hastily driven
to cover by the sharp upward movement In
Southen Pacific and Union Pacific, together
with advices from the West of further crop
improvement.
Demand for money Is very light, all call
loans recorded today being, made at 1 per cent.
Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, $2,472,000.

GIVES LIFE TO CORPSE
Hospital Surgeon Forces Dead Man
, to Breathe Again.
NEW YORK. Aug. 18. Oscar Culver
was dead for three minuteg in the East
ern District Hospital, Brooklyn, yes
terday. Then by means of a powerful
heart stimulant and artificial respira
tion to a;et his lungs Into play again,
the doctors brought him back to life.
Culver lived through the night, but
never recovered consciousness. He died
today.
Culver was 29 years old. He had
been In bad health for a long time, but
up to four weeks ago worked In a roll
ing mill. His physician found that Cul
ver had consumption complicated by
rheumatism, and a fortnight ago had
him removed to the hospital. Last
night the nurse In the ward reported
that Culver was dead.
It happened luclily for Culver that
Dr. Michael Jaffer, of the visiting staff,
was in the office. Dr. Jaffer believed
Culver was dead, but said he wanted to
see the body and try an experiment.
He hurried to the ward where Culver
lay and made some of the tests for
death. The pupils of Culver's eyes did
not respond to Irritation. He was
pulseless at the wrist'; his heart was
not beating; he hud ceased to breathe,
and to all appearances he was dead
as a man could be. Still hurriedly Dr.
Jaffer Injected under the skin and over
the heart of the seeming corpse one
tenth of a grain of strychnine. In
stantly, too, Dr. Jaffer performed arti
ficial respiration, trying to inflate and
empty Culver's lungs systematically, as
In natural breathing.
Three minutes had passed since Miss
Ryan had thought Culver died, when he
sighed ever so faintly. All the doc
tors in the hospital instantly heard the
astounding news and hurried to his
cot; they relieved each other in keep
ing up artificial respiration. Pretty
soon Dr. Jaffer listened Intently, heard
Culver's heart flutter; then, feeling his
radial artery, the doctor detected a
slow, weak pulse, breathing became
slower and the pulse steadier. Then
he opened his eyes and stared fixedly
Into the world from which, by all signs
known to medical men, he had made his
exit. ' ;

of new wheat at that point on record. These
bearish Influences, however, were completely
offset by the steadiness of the Liverpool mar
ket and by an advance of more than 1 cent
