WITCH HAZEL HOP CROP PICKED.
Only Ten Days Required to Complete ths
. Hsu-vest.
That there is no scarcity of hop-pickers this
season Is shown by the rapidity with which
A. J. Ray & Eons' big wltchhaxel yard has
been picked. Work began In the yard just
ten days ago and last night the last hop
was picked. The crop amounts to 108.000
pounds, equal to the quantity grown last year.
However, about 10.000 pounds of last year's
crop was left on the vines and it took three
and one-half weeks to gather the remainder.
The better time made this year was due to
the abundance of help. The quality of the
wltchhaxel bops Is fin.
There Is not much business) stirring In the
market yet. A contract for 1CK bales was
closed at BsJem yesterday at T cents and
22S bales of Puyallnps were contracted for

BREAK IS VIOLENT
Stock Prices Fall Sharply in
New York Market.
DUE TO POLITICAL SCARE
Talk of Harrlman and Hill Weakens
the Confidence) of Speculators.
Market Full of Stop- ,
Loss Orders.
NEW YORK. Sept. 17. An upward reaction
In prices of stocks In the early part of today
served to demonstrate that large speculative
liquidation was waiting to take advantage of
the better prices. A violent relapse from the
advanced level was the consequence. The
market proved to be more honeycombed with
stop-loss orders than bad been supposed and
the bears had good success la covering these
and precipitating; some disorder In the efforts
to execute them.
The decline In prices waa generally ac
cepted In the Wall street district as due to
a "political scare." although that term was
somewhat variously defined. It was agreed.
however,' that it emanated from the expres
sions of discontent with political conditions
and with the apathetic spirit of the cam
palgn In the West, which have been uttered
for publication by various Influential financiers,
among whom E. H. Hanimen and Jaraes J.
Hill are conspicuous. The opposing; views of
whether these expressions represented real
solicitude over political prospects or a tactical
maneuver to dispel the apathy of the cam
palgn came Into agreement on the point of
their purpose to effect a checking of -4he
speculative demand for stocks.
The supposition that these high financial
authorities were no longer committed to an
opinion of unmixed confidence In the specu
lative outlook Is sufficient ground to shake
the speculative fabric, as they have been
credited with the largest part, both by advice
and by action. In lifting prices to the level
Unfavorable dividend prospects continued
staple of discussion today and bore especially
on the three great Northwestern systems which
have mads the largest expansion In their
share of capital In contrast with heavy
shrinkage in earnings since the financial de
pression. Advices from the Iron and steel trade em
phasized the slowness' of the recovery, and
another reduction In the price of copper at
the New jork Metal Exchange served as an
admonition of the same effect.
Bonds were easy. Total sales, par value,
$3,680,000. United States 2a advanced
and the 4s per cent In the bid price on call.
