English order f..r Orr xmi hop have
tnale their appearance. A well-known ex

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.
The folio-In cat'ic w as received from
Brnhard Bine, of Noremburc;
"Market 1 jtiarks h!her and active at

"Statistics show a considerable decrease
In hop culture acreage all over the world."
writes Bing. "The world's yield of l.0e.
OAO cwt. nearly correponds to a year's hop
consumption. Ptocks in the broweries are
very small. The German market Is entirely
bare of any stock. The first arrivals of the
new crop have been sold at Mks. ft tf 1)4)
per S kilos, first costs, according to qual
ity." 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. There seems lo be
a aood Inquiry from dealers, but the grow
ers do not show any anxiety to force their
goods on the market at present."

STEADY TRADE AT YARDS

Market Is Steady Sheep Itule
Firm With I-nrge Receipts
Ilradily Absorbed.
There was less mock to work on t t'.ie
yards yesterday than at the oocntng of the
m-ek. wbfen accounts for the falling off in
the activity. No Important rhanges were
shown In the nrlce level. Steer ranged
from $4 to and cows from 3-i to
14 l'.".. Calves, for the most part, sold at the
old prfres. but one lot of fancy Mpht weights
brought f. Hogs found buyers at $10 and
$1000. Gn era J conditions at the yard were
summarized by the 41 ves took Reporter as
xoiiows:
Heavy shipments of cattle from points In
Oregon. Idaho and California last week
caused a temporary lull In th irarkct and
prices sagged toward he end. In the
butcher cattle pens the transactions wore
very heavy and, considering the deluge of
cows, hetfara and bulls, the market main
tnlned a very good level. Many saU-s of
mixed rows and spayed heifers were made
at .tf. while rholt-e f payed heifers sold
separately realised f 4.$.", 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. No one attempts to under
stand the vacation of the hog market: one
day It wilt l firm and the next uncertain.
Missouri river points showed a half dollar
decline on the week, hut the local market
seldom went below fio.uo and closed Satur
day at $1.7.V Receipts. Including Ntbraka
shipment, totaled Jooo-head. The mutton
market was stout the uteadlest of any line,
the high level main tnlned principally hy a
heavy shipment of Mount Adams stock. Re
ceipts wcVe unusually large, over 7H0 head
tmeep and Ism Us being the total for six days.
Receipts yesterday were 3-W cattle. 774
hogs and "." horses.- Shippers of the stock
were I. n. Bodlne. with five cars of hogs
from Idaho; J. Hurke, of McKay. Idaho, six

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. Tbe sub-treasury
has taken S4.2Hl.ooo from the New York
banks thus far this week. Money on call
rose to 2 per cent.
Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par

Xews Influences of the Day Are Al
most K.xelusively Bearish.
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.
Much of the selling todav was from elevator
sources. It was noticed that Spring wheat
here was very weak. December raogea irom
Nr!SHc. closing at a net decline or 1
1 M.C.
Belief was eeneral that the frost last
night did little or no damage to corn. De
cember sold from 504c to 31!4c and finished
weak at 5Uc. a loss of .c compared wun
last night. The cash mnrKet was also we.av
No. 2 closing at 02 4. l c.
l.lonlrintlon and short selling character
ized the oats trade. December fluctuated
between Snc and iUVtC and closed '.btic
off at 33?4 Si n:!"c
Nearby options In provisions were under
some pressure rrom pacners. rorK was un
changed to 22Hic lower. Lard unchanged
to a decline of 5Sr7Vsc: ribs down ac I
