A Utier received from a Stuttgart firm dated September 7 said; "Our hop crop ia being gathered now.' The result is falling somewhat short of sx pe.tation!. but it 1 moro than sufficient to cover all requirements, the total of which re much less than usual. Owing to the war. tho home consumption is greatly re duced and the export trade finds lteelf handicapped by the English not permitting the neutral powers oversea to do business with t-e-Tmany and Austria. Thi state of affairs weighs heavily on our hop market and keeps prices down, which are very mod erate, ranging between 45 and 70 marks for middling clatvsea to flno qualities uncured.

Final prices In corn varied irom 1 cent off to HHc up; oat rained HKc. and pro visions showed an upturn' ranging from 5c to 45 Xc. Wet weather that tnreatened to delay threehln in the Northwest save to th wheat bull n advantage right at the out set, Liverpool advices telling of unabated demand and of supplies ..being under re quirements counted also against the bear, and did a good deal to prevent any Im portant downturn In the market. Corn rose chiefly as a result ef the strength in wheat. Frost predictions in duced some buying early, but they seemed to be regarded a of greatly diminished significance compared with similar fore casts when the crop was less matured. Oat merely reflected the action of corn. Rural offerings were rather small, and Eastern demand fair. Higher prices In the hog market lifted provisions. An excellent Southern and ex port Inquiry for fresh meat had a further strengthening effect. Leading futures ranged follows: WHEAT, Open. Hleh. Lost. Close .$ .9Ts .59 .9i S .98 -95?. .9 7'., .99 1.

ADVANCES DO NOT HOLD Increased Selling at Times Causes Prices to Ffcll Back and Tone at Close Is Irregular West in s- Ivouse Is Market Leader. NEW TORK. Oct. 4. Another orgy speculation took place on the Stock Ex change today, but the unsettled tone of the market at frequent intervals bore testi mony to the increased selling. Transactions again mounted well beyond the million mark, the total turnover aggregating 1, 320.000 shares. Numerous advancea were again regis tered by the war shares, with new high rec ords In Bethlehem Steel, which gained 24 H points to 3084, General Motors 10 to 860. Wlllyi-Overland 13 to 237. American Car 4 Foundry s te OS, American Can 3 to B8H, International Nickel 10V to 22 H . and U. 8. Industrial Aiconol li to 105. Nickel's rise waa due to the declaration of a 10 per cent stock dividend In addition to the reg ular cash payment. On the Irregular or declining side were such Issuea as Baldwin Locomotive and half a dozen quondam favorites. Including United States Steel, which waa not only reactionary, but was superseded In. leadership by West tnghouse. That stock, with Steel and Can. made up about 25 per cent of the trading, with unusually Urge dealings In Allls-Chal-mers. American Locomotive and other In dustrials, as well aa eoppera and motors. General Kleotrlo -was heavy at first, but made a substantial recovery later. Th high tide of quoted values was reached in the afternoon, following newt that subscription! to the AnglcFrench loan would close tomorrow. When Interest in the specialties began to diminish, specula tion awltched to the railways, some or which enjoyed a brief advance of 1 to 3 points, only to fall back before the end. In fact, the entire list declined variably from the high points ef the mld-seeson. with an ir regular close. Westicghouse and American Car eV Foundry bore the brunt of the late reversal, suffering: substantial net losses. " Private advlcea from London Indicated un easiness at tho extent of the movement here, and selling for that market waa reported. United states Steel and Canadian Pacific figured In these operations.
