L-ennite egg quotations were hard to get
yerterdar. While a few case may have
Veen sold at 00 cents, the general opinion
waa that the actual value waa not orer 43
cents. In view of the fact that all dealera
look for better arrivals from the country
from now on. with the prospect of sup
plies also coming from California. A small
shipment of California eggs was received
In .the forenoon, as well aa a small express
lot of Eastern er. Only about 18 rasea of
Cregon eggs arrived during the day.
The poultry market waa not very active

Harry Flncua. Oie firm can buy to better
advantage from dealera than from growers.
In reporting a number of sales of com
mon to medium New York hops at 10 cents,
the Waterrtlle Times says:
These stocks four weeks ago received na
attention whatever from dealera. bnt now
all this grade of hops are being bought up.
There were also reported the purchase of
two email Iota of choice hope grown In
Augusta, for which the buyer paid 12

IOIAT TO CONTRACT HOPS.
Grower Bind Themselvea to I-oee Money
for Term off Years.
MT VERNON. Wash. Jan. 25. (To the
jr,,itr We h pgrowers are somewhat
n.-tcd for doing aome foMlsh or contrary
thinga such aa our stubborn continuance in
a haxardous and unprofitable Industry, while
all other (armeri are getting rich In the
product of the orchard, garden, dairy, hay
and grain: but it caps the climax of folly
to contract to raise bops for a terra of years
at a graduated seal- of . 10 and 11 centa.
at practically less tnan co.t of production,
not re. koflng anything for rent or use of
vs'uaMe land, taxes, etc.
Such contract fr a term of years not
only become personal obligation. If Indeed
they do not become liens ui-oii the land
en which I'. i r.'l""l ' raise the hop., aa
n.uailr specified. Tims the grower ties hlm
s'lr up. and can neither s'll his Isnd nor
t.l-w tip and put It to more prorttabie uMee.
And It should be rrmmlered that there Is
now a ready sle ff-r good lni at high,
round f sure, for other purposes,
Jlr. kuOier, on his return from Washing
ton, where he labored to have the tariff
raised from 11 to 24 cents, was not very
sanguine of success In that regard. But I
waa atruck with hla plea that one pound of
German hops was equal in strength and
value to two pounds of American hops.
Well. 1 don't douht It. for I have seen some
rierman aamples that did not look very at
tractive to me. It la quite like!.- that the
use of imported hops Is somewhat of a fad
or fancy with German brewers, who want to
Jolly their patrons with the idea that their
beverage la made from hoj,a from the
Father.and. They probably keep a few
balea for exhibition rather than use. .Nor do
our brewera appear to use much of the
choicest American hops, for It Is a well
known fact that the cream of the crop la
bought up every year for export to London,
while the English brewera "pass up the
Continentals" to the American trade: and It
appears that In Ciermnny the practice Is re
versed, where thev keep tne choice grades
at home and let the Indlfcrent sorts go to
the export trad", principally to this country.
Cpeaktng of the tariff, we note that the
Importers have Just Had their Inning at
Washington. They want the existing tariff
of 12 cents reduced, and allege that tha
present low prices are on In to over-production,
and thev claim that hopa can be
raised for 8 cents; but all growers of ex
perience know that K cents will scarcely
cover the expense of picking, handling,
draylng and baling. leaving practically
nothing for previous cultivation, training.
praying and other endless labor, nor does
it reckon anything for re-it or use of val
uaole land, nor the taxes, insurance, etc.
ilr Klaber, on reluming from Washing
ton a few weeks hko. advised growers to
hold on to hops In the bale and raise none
the coming season: but they have not held
on. and the rrop haa practically passed out
of growers' hands and it Is to be hoped
Into strong hands, and that those brewers
who. aa reported in the early part of the
arason, "could not be Interested'" even nt
about half the cost of production, will be
made "to sit up and take notice" later on.
at good round prices. We don't mind If
the dealera do make something, if they do
not give our hopa away to the brewer, who
la amply able to. pay a decent price. Hope
ought to be a good Investment at the cur
rent pricea of 5. 8 or 7 cents, for they can
not be grown for much lea than double the
money.
Hops will some day be worth money, but
so far aa the poor grower is concerned, we
are reminded of the old saying. "While the
grasa grows the horse starves," and he prjb
ably had better drop out of an unprofitable
business before the sheriff sells him out.

ON PESSIMISTIC REPORT
Chesapeake Jk Ohio and aba.-h Ad
vance on Railroad Deal Kuniors.
IVrelg;n Markets Uneasy
Over Balkan Situation..
NEW YORK. Jan. 26. The special In
fluences that goverened the wide movement
In a handful of stocks today were conflict
ing in their effect on the general list. or.
more properly, bad a neutralizing effect
which aggravated the dullness of the trading.
Dealing were at the point or stagnation be
tween the occasional spuria of moderate ac
tivity. The most Influential movement in its gen
eral effect waa that In Consolidated Gas, In
which a renewal of liquidation waa prompted
by the publication of the annual report and
the pesetmlstlc opinion expressed In official
utterance accompanying it- of the earning
power of the company under the legal restric
tion of the price of gaa to SO centa. The
price of the stock dropped precipitately over
nine points to a lower level than waa touched
in the slump following the decision of the
Supreme Court against the company.
The desire to await the appearance of the
quarterly report of the United States Steel
Corporation was a factor in the later dull
ness. Railroad deal rumors showed vitality and
furnlehed the principal points of strength In
the market. Chesapeake ft Ohio passed Into
the hands of the Interests that but. lately
marketed successfully the control of the Colo
rado Ac Southern and negotiation was made
with the banking house which had taken over
the Pennsylvania holdings of this stock. It
waa Inferred that the Southern line situation
would not be disturbed by the new control,
while assumptions of more liberal policy In
the distribution or profits also helped the ad
vance In the stock. At the same time the
rumor of the coming control of the Wabash
by the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western
sprang Into new life and was effective in
lifting the preferred stock and the refunding
bonds of the Wabaeh to a higher level.
Foreign markets are uneasy over the Balkan
situation and there was a balance of sales
over purchases of stocks for London account
in New York.
Bonds were irregular. Total eales, par
value, JS, 043,000. United Statea bonds were

PRIMARY RECEIPTS LARGE

Corn Bought by a Short
Commission House.
CHICAGO. Jan. 26. With the exception
of moderate firmness the first few minutes
of the session, the wheat market was bear
lshly inclined all day and weakness be
came pronounced in the final half hour.
The close was weak and only a trifle above
the lowest point with May at $1.06 'i and
July at 96t 90?ic.
Several leading commission houses were
free aellers nearly all day and there waa
also active selling which waa credited to
Northwestern Interests. The ohief reaaona
for the selling pressure were an almost en
tire absence xf export demand, clearances of
only 30.000 bushels of wheat, a considerable
Increase In primary receipt and additional
rains last night In the Ohio and Mississippi
River valleys. The early firmness waa due
mainly to the atrength of European grain
markets. The world's visible supply de
creased 1,900,000 bushels the past week
compared with an Increase of 1.942.000
bushels the corresponding week a year ago.
The feature In the corn market was the
reported purchase of more than 1,000.000
bushels of the May delivery by a leading
commission house which was said to have
been short a long line of corn. The effect
of this buying waa the cause of decided
strength In the market. The price of cash
corn at the sample table wa up c to lc.
The market closed firm with prices
higher with May at 63Vd63c. and July
at 62c.
There was a good general trade In oats
and the market exhibited considerable
atrength. Final quotations were unchanged
to a shade higher compared with the pre
vious close. May closing at 617sc, and July
at 4,c.
Provision were weakened by liberal real
izing sales, final quotatlone showing net de
clines of 2H5c to 45 cent. Pork displayed
the greatest weakness. A large part of the
selling was credited to the grain firm that
supported the corn market, although a Mil
waukee packer was said to have sold freely
of -lard and ribs early In the day.
