AmoKg the deals clo-M at the mornlns; sea alon of the Merchant" Exchange was one for 800 ton of wheat and another for 150 tons of bsrley. both for ehlpment to San Francisco. There la practically no export inquiry now tor wheat, but the California buying; and the local mUIlne- demand. especially for bluestem. keep prices up at the top notch.

IVrakrn the Market on the Prime Grades of the Commodity. The hop market wore a rather weak ap pearand yesterday. The selling pressure waa more pronounced than It has been . for some time. Growers desiring to find buyers were numerous at all the office. The hops offered for sale, however, were mainly of the lower grade for which there na been but little demand at any time this season. Ch.-.l-e grades of hops, at lea.'t those In the possession of growers, are not being preeeed for sale, though It to -said that acme dealers, hiving this quality on hand, are tryltiS to find buyers for their atocks. McNeff Bros, were heavy purchasers dur ing the day. but eo far as could be learned Iltrle business waa transacted at the other offices. Among the McN'eft purchajwe) were 80 bales f.-om Kelley, Western Washington, at 5 cents; 50 bales from Jordan A McKin r.ey. of Hubbard, at 6 cents: 32 bales from Miller and 2? bales from Barber, both of Hubbard, at cents; 55 bale from Blssen ger. of Butterllle. at 6'-i centa; 42 bales from Mescher. of Pllverton, at 5 cents, and lo bales from a dealer at 6 to 6 cents. Ironmonger, of London, cabled to Isaac Fincus A Sons, of Tacoma, yesterday. "Market dull, with only few buyers. No Improvement anticipated In the near future." Consul James "W. Ragsdale reports from PL Petersburg that the extremely unsettled weather of the past Summer, with-Its sud den and sharp changes, was most unfavor able for the growing of hops In Russia, and that the crop was one of tha poorest, the results being as follows: The yield was 270.000 ' poods (pood, S 112, pounds), which Is even poorer than Jn 1904, when the yield was 2S0.OO0 poods. In 10O5 the crop of hope amounted to 400.- ono poods, in luoft. 3O0.U00 poods, and In 1907 30.000 poorts, consequently the present year falls behind the average br lMO.OOO poods, ('--nerally speaking the total crop does not exceed a per cent of the normal average and Is 2 per cent less than the crop of the preceding year. Thus, although the area of hop plantations has largely Increased, the crop of hops Is the worst for the past ten years. In regard to quality, the hops turned out much better than could be exacted in view -f the unfavorable weather. In certain places. Volhynla. for Instance, It was excel lent, which Is attributed to the regular cul tivation of hops during a number of years. The fruit obtained was fair, without any or ganic defects, the contents of lupullne normal. 0 to 12 per cent, the odor excellent, seed insignificant. ORANGES ARE MOVING READILY Ripe Bananas deeming ln -Apples Abun dant and Slow. There was no special feature tn the fruit end vegetable market , yesterday. Trade on the whole was light.

Persimmons offered at ?I.ri0 per box. Apples continue to drag. The steamer brought up the usuat as sortment of Southern vegetables. Reana bnd peas are higher, because of rain In California.

STOCKS ARE UNSETTLED Arrangement Mad for Exporting Gold to Paris Shipments May Run to Twelve Million Dollars. NEW YORK, Dec. 1. The professional operators in stork did mo-it of the busi ness in the day's market. Their transac tions were In the class of securities desig nated specialties for the most part, the market pools making their influence felt in more than one case In moving prices much at will. Th course of affairs in their broader aspect did not receive much attention in the superficial explanations offered for tljese movements. In the less observed movements In. the market there was some reflection of views supposed to be held by larpe holders of securities In some of the larger aspects of affairs. Yesterday's heavy fall in the price of Cnited States Steel shares waa followed to day by further free offerings of that stock. Dealings In It were on a scale unusually heavy, even in so unwieldy a market me dium as this security Is by reason of the hufre bulk of its -capital. A single trans action of 20.000 shares of Steel was made on the floor during the day, the block being taken by one purchaser, although several sellers contributed to the trade. The selling of this stock Is regarded as being prompted, to some extent at least, by the growing probability of more radi cal action on the tariff than has been the expectation in financial quarters. The movements of tjnitrd States steel are or such Impressive influence on speculative sentiment toward the whole market that it is difficult to overcome It by contrary movements In other stocks. Another development of the day was the definite arrangement by international banking: , houses to ship gold to Paris on Thursday. Another rlae in the foreign ex change rate today wiped out the margin separating the price from the point of profl on gold shipments. It was denied that allowance of Interest on the shipment while in transit by the Bank of France figured In the transaction. Bankers esti mate that the shipments may run to $10, 000.000 or $12,000,000. This insatiable demand of the Bank of France for gold in face of an unprece dented volume of holdings aroused no lit tle wonder among bankers. It is be lieved that uninterrupted selling of Amer ican securities by foreiegners is the domi nating cause of the movement. The call loan rate was affected but in a slight degree yday. Next Saturday bids are to be submitted for the $:i0,ooo.000 of Pan ama bonds. The market closed In consid erable unsettlement. Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par value, $7.7.000. United States bonds were unchanged on call. CLiOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing High. Low. Bid. 4tiHi 4tti-i Sales.

KEEPS PRICES AT THE TOP Fortlaild Flour Quotations Likely to Advance to a Parity With Se attle Weak Feeling in the Hop Market. CHICAGO. Dec. 1. The market for wheat opened atronB with prices up 8 to c and became stronger as trading pro gressed, the close being at the highest point of the day and net gains of 1-S(alc for December and lttc for May. The moat Im portant factor contributing to the sharp upturn were unfavorable harvesting weather In Argentina and a decided falling oft In re ceipts In this country, especially in the Northwest. Several dispatches were re ceived today claiming that rains still pre vailed In the northern districts of Argen tina. The decreased movement In the Northwest, however, was perhaps the most potent influence. A severe blizzard, which was raging in the Canadian Northwest, waa said to have checked the movement to some extent, but the chief reason for the sudden falling off in receipts was said to be the fact that the great bulk of the crop has already been marketed. A brisk export de mand for duram and low-grade Manitoba wheat at Duluth helped to strengthen the local market. Liquidation of the December delivery was the feature of the trade In the corn mar ket. Delivery today on December contracts was 2t0,000 bushels. The market closed easy with prices Sfic higher to '4c lower, December closing at 61ra''j2c and May at t!2 7-ic. Oats were Inclined to be easy on account of the profit taking In the December option. The market closed easy with prices a shade higher to ig)c lower.

The active railroad building be tween Centralia and Aberdeen and be tween Tacoma and Portland is further indicated by the fact that railroad con tractors are now distributing railroad building equipment along the right-of-way of the Union Pacific, between Portland and Tacoma. Several flatcars loaded with dump cars have been switched in on points along the North ern Pacific. It is understood that they belong to the Porter Brothers' outfit, which was. used In building the North Bank road. Two carloads of dump cars were sent from Tacoma to Aber deen, via Centralia today. Local men within the past few days put through a number of minor deals in which the parties to the deals were the Northern Pacific and the Union Pa cific and which leave little doubt that actual railroad building is to begin soon on the part of the Union Pacific and that the Union Pacific will use the old Union Pacific grade between Port land and Tacoma. It was stated today that the Northern Pacific had decided to lay heavier steel on its Aberdeen line, which is taken as an indication that the road does not expect to continue to hold a mon opoly of that business and is preparing for competition. Two carloads of steel for the Northern Pacific passed through Centralia consigned to Montesano today. DRAFT NEW REGULATIONS United States and Canada AV1U Have Uniform Rules for Fisheries.
