A well-known ex porter tii in thm market yesterday for aood-afsrd lots on the basis of 1-1 cents In the grower for choice gnadM. It was be Itered his order was for fully 1IOO bales. No deals wers known to- havs been conclud ed on this account up to a late hour 'yes-Tday. The only business reported during the day was the purchase by MrNff Bros, of four !ts of frrfon. asarea;atnr "OO bales, at ll'3 to 2 cents. Tbfs are the first pur coae frura growers known to bar been ma'ie this seavin on Eastern orders. It has been evident from tha tone of Kastern letters Is fir received that the deal ers of th East were dlsposd to keep out of the market as Inns; as possible and thereby f nn-e prlres to a low er level. There Is Jlftle duht that many of them hare sold Orecon hops short, probably to the extent of Z per cent of the rrop. Home Western deal ers hare also rnnc rnto the it me. Including a large Salem operator, and deals hare been made for late shipment as low as 12 and 13 tents delivered. hhould a good fnrelcn demand develop. It Is reasonable to believe thertwiU be a spurt of activity on the part of the shorts to rer that win furnish a healthy stimulus to the market. It msy be that the export or ders now in are the beginning- of the mnva srent. At any rme. it Is unusual for the XniclHh to buy pacific In September, and this would Indicate that extensive require ments axe to be met this season.

Though stocks of hops at brewers' hands are exceedingly short Blng thinks prices may rule on a moderate scale In presence of this year's rather good average crop. The vVarerrlMe Times says of the New Tork market: "We learn of a few sales hereabouts at tec and Tl'iC. but for the most part the market Is Tery quiet.

Gn era J conditions at the yard were summarized by the 41 ves took Reporter as xoiiows: Heavy shipments of cattle from points In Oregon. Idaho and California last week caused a temporary lull In th irarkct and prices sagged toward he end. In the butcher cattle pens the transactions wore very heavy and, considering the deluge of cows, hetfara and bulls, the market main tnlned a very good level. Many saU-s of mixed rows and spayed heifers were made at .tf. while rholt-e f payed heifers sold separately realised f 4.$.", a dime advanre over "the best previous .quotation. Quality of bulls ss a whole did not improve during the entire week. G"od light calves wire steady at $7.

OPERATIONS IX THAT STOCK STILL A MYSTEKY. COVER SHORT SALES Chicago Operators Reaping Large Profits. MARKET IS SAGGING Restraint of Speculation Considered Wise in View of the National Bank Showing. NEW' YORK. Sept. 27. The congesion of the speculative operations In Reading ana the suppression of artificiality In the move ment of that stock has a repressive, rather than a stimulating, effect on the general speculative movement. The news regarding Reading developments was as vague ana a various as yesterday. Including a revival of practically all rumors which have done duty In connection with market movements in that stock for several years. t niteo: states steel surrendered its usual primacy of the market to Reading, with a volume less than one-half that of the latter stock, with l-nion pacific a poor third in the amount of the dealings. Heading s propor tion to the whole market reached :,7 per cent. Prices at the end of the day were at the lowest and showed trivial net losbes. The banking conrmunUy studied with great interest the compilation of National bank reports to the Controller as of September 1, although the subject was not much dis cussed In the stock market itself. And the showing was regarded as demonstrating the wisdom of the dra? which was applied to the extension of credits, following the ap peurance of the Spring abstract of bank reports. The influence of the October settlements continued to harden interest rates In the immediate money market. Foreign exchange rates advanced In response to the higher discount rate In Lnndn.

Large Increase In World's Visible Snpply. CHICAGO. Sept. 27. Wheat had a wider range than for some time and was decidedly more active. One large short covered more than a million bushels which he had sold at ahout 2c higher, and much other short wheat was also brought In. Nevertheless there was an adeauate suddIv steadily fnrth- eomlng and news influences were almost ex clusively bearish. The only imDOrtant bull ish factor, a decrease in Drimary receipts. was largely offset by th. fact that primary shipments were much less than last year.
