SELLERS IHESS HOFS FOR SALE.
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.

SELL STEEL FREELY
Offerings Prompted by Fear of
Radical Tariff Action.
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.

Move Slowly.
SEATTLE. Wash.. Dec. 1. ( Special.)
A car of Florida pineapples reached this
market today. The stock was In excel
lent condition and will be quoted at 4.50.
The stock reached a depleted market.
There is a good demand for pines here at
present. '
Cranberries were advanced again today
50 cents per barrel, making the price I4
for the best Jersey stock. Retailers are
booking large orders nearly a month In
advance of the date of delivery. Grapes
are about out of the market, although
there is a good demand for choice stock.
Japanese oranges do not find a very quick
sale, although quoted at only $1.75 a bun
dle. - California oranges offered are green
and poor sellers. Apples are cleaning up
somewhat this week. Poo wtock is being
sacrificed.
Butter is steady, but conditions outside
of the city are not as smooth as dealers
might desire, owing to some strong com
petition that has recently developed. But
ter that is being wholesaled here at 86 and
37 cents Is being sold very much less by
Seattle firms outside of the city. Eggs
were not as firm or active today, 52 and
5H cents being about the best price that
retailers would pay.
Poultry was active and the market is
well cleaned up tonight.

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. December closed at
48-i (8 4S?c. and May at 61C51c.
Provisions were. firm. Trade, however, waa

EQUIPMENT IS DISTRIBUTED
FROM CEXTRALIA.
Union Pacific Preparing to Reach
Grays Harbor Hill Line
Also Active.
CEXTRALIA, Wash.. Dec. 1. (Spe
cial.) 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.

you sick with biliousnesss, tortures
you with sick headache, turns you yel
