General List Closes Heavy, but Oils and a Few Specialties Score Advances. NEW TORIC Oct 25. The most obvious effect of the step taken yesterday by the local money committee to reduce bank loans was a further curtailment of operations on the Stock Exchange today. Active selling at the outset was attended by declines of 1 to 4 points In the most vulnerable lttsues, but much of this loss was quickly recovered, while here and there a few noteworthy gains were establlshd. Next to United States Steel, which moved In a narrow grove and closed at a l-polnt loss, the most active stock waa Mexican Pe troleum. Other oils, American Smelting, some of the motors, Sumatra Tobacco and low-grade coalers finished at variable ad vances, but the general list developed fresh heaviness later. Total sales amounted to 6U0.000 shares. Foreign Issues reacted moderately with liberty bonds and the general domestic group on more contracted dealings. Total sales, par value, aggregated $8,275,000. Old United States bonds w ere unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Last Sales. High. Low. Sale.

Bradstreet's. to morrow will say: Trade at wholesale haa receded at many Eastern points, and conservatism born of peace talk has set In, without, however. abating th Government's war-directed en ergies. Distribution from the hands of re tail dealers has been adversely affected by the effects of influenza and warm weather, while industrial outputs have been cu nailed by Illness among workers. With tho epidemic of influenza waning, discussione about peace are receiving more attention, perhaps the most attention, and superficial prospects in that respect tend to deter merchants irom operating ireeiy for 1010. whilo alo superinducing a dispoM tion- to effect cancellations, even though complaints of insufficient supplies of mer chandise still are numerous, the central fact is that merchants, especially those in the East, seem more content to trade in accordance with current requirements and t let developing events shape their future course. Weekly bank clearings were $7,252,133,000. Coffee Market Very Quiet. NEW YORK, Ort. 23. The coffee market remained very quiet.

Strong Demand for English and Ex port Account Large Blocks Are Taken by Buyers. A bop boom of unexpected proportions. and coming- at an unexpected time, has struck the markets of the Pacific Coast. At picking time, only a few weeks ago, the market was nominal at 10 cents.' and no one wanted hops even at that low price. Now there is a scramble to buy at 20 cents. The demand is undoubtedly largely for English account, but there is also evidence of buying for domestic purposes. The lat ter may be to discount an early peace, for otherwise it cannot be seen how hops now Would have any great value in this coun- ry at the present time. The export Inquiry has been felt for some time past and a con iderable amount of business has been done on the Coast but without exciting the mar ket. Now, however, the situation haa changed and a keen competition has sprung p to get hold of what hops are available The smallnesa of tha crop, under the cir cumstances, makes an advance In prices easier. In California 3000 bales of Sonoma and Mendocino hops were bought yesterday and the day before at 20 cents. Three hundred bales of Yakima hops were bought at the same price and 20 cents was offered dur ing the day in Western "Washington. There were 20-cent options out In the Oregon sec tion, so the market In this state may he considered on that basis. DAILY CITY STATISTICS Cotton Standards Enforced. ' WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.
