Dal la.
Export buying haa beea resumed In tha
hop market. Ralph William- waa reported to
hara mad a number of purchases at Dallas
yesterday. Including the Fisher lot of 1S
bales. The price waa variously reported at
74 and 8 cents.
Advices received from Sonoma tate that
nothing la available there below "H cents.
Cond.tlnas In the New Tor Stat market
are reported by the Waters-Ill Times of
January 12 as follooa:
Since the fin of the week, when about
ir- bales chars'! hand on the local hop
market, there Lava been few purchases, not
from lack" of lmuiT. however, but owing
rather to the lack of stock and to tha firm
ness l:h which remaining; -ks are held.
The bulk of the above rule were hops grown
in S.i::KerfieM ard Marshall and thes ma
terlHlly reduce the holdings In this place.
Since T tliy there have been rale of sev-e-al
small lots of common to medium grades,
but the only sale of any moment waa a 32
hala lot grown In Otsego County, which
brnught lo cents on this market, being far
from a first-grade b"p. At the rata tha borne
groan hop have been bought up on thla
market recently. It leads one to wonder what
ail! happen when the present limited supply
t entirely exhausted.

Reversal of Operations in the
Stock Market.
NEW YORK CENTRAL DROPS
Iuflucnce of Harriman Projects Has
Been Discounted in Previous
Speculation Bond Prices
Are Very Irregular.
NEW YORK. Jan. 2S The stock market
today again demonstrated the narrow pro
fessional rut Into which It has fallen. Ther
was little trac of anything beyond a re
versal of yesterday's operations. Traders
alio bought yesterday attempted to sell to
dav and the list moved, therefore, in a con
trary direction to that of yesterday.
The reactionary tendency In New Tone
Central had an effect on the whole list, as
It was considered to prove that much that
had been reported of E. H. Harrtman a
plans had been discounted tn the advance
which has already occurred In prlcea. Mr.
Harrlman'a reported project in the rail
road world make up an Influence that baa
permeated the whole stock market for
weeks and the Indication that this Influ
ence haa spent lta force awakens more or
less uneasiness among belated holders 'of
slocks.
The price of copper metal showed a per
sistent sagging tendency. The publication
of the pamphlet report of the Southern
Paclflc for the fiscal year ending with last
June offered nothing that had not been
generally known and did not help the
stocks. The resumption of hearings at
Pittsburg in the Government ault to dis
solve the Harriman railroad merger I
viewed with some concern as a possible
source of some sudden development unfa
vorable to the market.
A w eekly estimate of the -Vt Inter wheat
crop condition, giving a cheerful view of
Its prospects, was received with satisfac
tion Reports of railroad net earnings for
December thus far received ara too few 10
shape the extent of the improvement, but
It Is evident that a striking contrast will
be made with December of the preceding
rTh bond market was Irregular. Total
sales, par value. $7.43(1.000. United States
bonds were unchanged on call.

TOO MANY HOPS ABE PRODUCED.
Growers Advised to Cut Down Their Acreage
and Not Heed Short Sellers' Talk.
TACOMA. Wash.. Jan. 26. (To the Edi
tor.) In an evening paper published In
Portland I noticed recently an Interview
with Mr. H. Pincus. of the firm of Isaac
Plncus Sons, of Taroma. and. to my
mind, this Interview requires sn explanation
so that hopgrowers will have both sides of
the situation set before them.
Without any reflection whatever upon the
firm mentioned, with whom I have had busi
ness dealinga for the past 20 years, and
have always found honert and upright in
their transactions. I must say that I hava
not always found lt profitable to follow
their advice. For the past three years, early
In the season, they have advised growers
to cultivate and take good care of their
hops, and then, alter the hopa were har
vested, have always claimed that there were
too many hops and that prlcts would rule
very low. For this they cannot be blamed,
as it seems to be entirely proper, untlor
present methods of doing business, but Uie
farmer can be blamed for giving heed to
their advice.
In the article above mentioned they ad
vocate and advise every farmer to take care
of and thoroughly cultivate his hops during
the coming Spring because. ( they say. the
1909 crop will sell at 20 cents per pound.
As stated above, they have said the same
thing the past three seasons at this time
of tha vear. and the hopgrowers know how
true their past predictions have been. They
have probably aold a large quantity of the
IPOS crop and want as many hops grown as
possible, so that they can buy them in at
less than cost of production. The truth
of th hop situation Is this, that after the
three high years thousands of acrea of hops
wer planted, and the world now produces
about 40 per cent to 50 per- cent more hops
annually than brewers can use, and until
hopgrowera the world over reduce their
acreage materially hops will always sell In
th bal for less than th cost of produc
tion. Myself and family have reduced our acre
age from 150 to not over 60 acres, and if
every grower on the Pacific Coast on his
own Initiative, would do the same thing hops
would again bring a living price and the
land which waa formerly used to produce
excessive crops of hops, which sold at a loss,
could be utilized for other purposes, which
would show a profit to the farmer.
Experience haa demonstrated that combl
nationa of farmers for the purpose of re
ducing acreage or holding hops have been
failures. There is but one thing for each
Individual grower to .do. and that is reduce
his own acreage, paying no attention to
what his neighbor does, excepting possibly
to advise him in a friendly way to do the
same thing. Do not listen to the lalk of
"bulls" or "bears" In the business. They
are generally shrewd, scheming business rnen
who have all they can do to protect their
own interests without taking care of the
'"iIT'concluslon. let me say that there la
but one thing to do, and that is to stop
talking about the buyers, stop talking abcut
plowing up and forming combinations, but
get to work this Spring and plow up.

Breaking; Habits of Speech. y
Harper's.
Every one knows how difficult it is to
break habits of speech. This accounts
for the preservation anions the musses
of old words and phrases which have,
been abandoned by the more cultivated.
Nowadays only the -wilfully careless or
the obviously unlettered will confuse the
verbs 'to learn'-' and "to teach yet
Shakespeare has more- fhan a dozen ex
amples in lita works of the use of learn"
in the sense of "teach;" and the bril
liantly cultivated Lady Mary Worthy
Montagu was sometimes given to the
same practice.
Russia's government board of agriculture
contemplates the establishing of 45 muiiei
farms.
