and lower grades very weak.
Th heaviest ooeratlona In the nate are
credited to Klaber. Wolf Netter. It la
reported their purchaaea In the laat three
lava amount to over 3000 bales. A good
many small lota taken on by other dealer,
are understood to b for their account.

Kiabefe operations since the season opened
hav attracted much Intereat In the trade,
bul are not regarded aa mysterloua. He Is
looked upon this season aa a speculator
-who la buying aolely against the future.
Paul Horst tried th aame scheme two
years ago. but Horst groe-.lv underestimated
th crop and cam out loeer
Everything thla year aeems to favor
speculative operations. Th only cholc
Farlne Coast hops to be had are Oregon,
and that the limited quantity produced her
will be called for by brewer goes without
saving. Th bulk of thee hop aeem to be
passing under the control of Klaber and lila
aasoclatea. When the English Arms, with
their proverbial slowneas. come into the
market for their annual aupply of Ore
gone, they will either hav to buy them
from Klaber or bid up sharply for what la
left In th country. In either cae bene
fiting th big holder.
According to the English hop papers, th
quality of th Kngll.h crop of l:n I
reedlnrtr '.pott.-d. the bulk of th crop
bavin been badly .polled by th storms
early In September. This fact probably
accounts for the Inactive condition of tha
London market. Th latst weekly trade
rwrulara of a few of the London hop fac
tors lollow:
Wild. Neame Co. There Is a fair in
quiry for the best samplea which come to
hand very .lowly. Other grade are neg-l-cted
or only meet with attention at
decidedly unremuneratlve rales.
Manger Henley There Is a good de
mand for th beat hope of all districts;
other grades are difficult to move.
W II H. 1. May The market i now
well supplied with the rew crop, colory
eaniple are not plentiful bul m.n of th-e
that have Buffered rr.-m the weather show
excellent brewing qualities. The demand
for th brightest is good and the brown
ones are taken at relative values.
Exchange and Hop Warehouses Business
In the new crop haa now commenced, anil
there Is a fair demand for good, quality
olory hops, but the market at present .s
sparingly supplied, some business haa been
transacted In yearlings.
ADVANCE 1! FI.OfK EXPECTEIs.
Threw Hundred Tom of Barter Sold at
Board of Trade at $-7.
Th local flour marled la very Brm. with
an advance likely to occur early In tha

PLANS FOR ADVANCE
Another Bull Movement in the
Stock Market Started.
HARRIMANS LEAD RISE
Improved Baslnests Conditions Help
the Cause Along: Increase in Im
migration Shows End or
Period of Depression.
NEW YORK. Oct. J. The stock market
continued to feel the reviving enect of yes
terday' stimulation of speculation In Union
Pacific by the showing of August net earn
ings by that road. Union Pacific continued
to lead the market and to exercsse a dom
inant aympathetlc effect on the whole llot.
The close sympathy shown by Reading and
St. Paul Mock gave the Impression that the
same money forces which co-operated to
further the late advance were again active
by moving toward the aame end.
In the search for motives for thi supposed
resumption of speculative leadership of the
market, the moat dwelt-upotl was the In
creased satisfaction on the part of operators
with th present outlook. Note waa made of
th fact that Immigration statistic show that
the tide has again ahlfed to the side of a
preponderance of In come ra, after having ruled
the other way ever aince the period of In
dustrial depression set It.
A recession In the discount rate at Berlin
ahowed th' passing of the strain of the ex
traordinary requirement of th October set
tlements. Advices from money markets In th
domestic Interior showed a growing demand
for currency. Th bank statement revealed
how heavy has been the drain on the cash
Item this week, the reduction In cash hold
ings running to over $10,000,000 on the
average showing, and to over $11,000,000 In
the comparison of actual conditions Friday
night. The credit requirements of the week
made but a nominal net change In tha loan
of the clearing-house bank a but loan of
other banks, which Includes the trust com
panies, expanded $8,413,600.
Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value.
$2.15S.OO0. United States 2s registered hav

an additional selling Incentive. The eea board

OIL MAKES SEA SMOOTH
6hlp on Calm While Waves Rise
Higher Than Decks.
NEW TORK, Oct. 3. Hurricanes that
are sweeping the Atlantic are catchin-r in
their grip vessels that ply those waters
from the tropics to the northern route.
The latest stories of the weather were
brought in on the Moltke, of the Hamburg-American
Line, which haa arrived
from Cherbourg, and the Maracas, of the
Quebec Steamship Company, which has
reached port from Trinidad.
Leaving Cherbourg September 23, the
Moltk ran into the hurricane the follow
ing day. The weather became so bad
that Captain Dempwolf concluded to oil
the waters, many barrels were poured
through the hawser pipes. The passen
gers were then treated to an unusual
sight that of a ship proceeding in a
smooth sea while the waves at a short
distance rose far above the decks.
Following this blow the weather calmed
until the ship was near the American
coast, when she ran into a spectacular
electrical display, which lasted for hours
and brightly illuminated the sea for a
great distance around the vessel.
The Maracas for 12 hours was In a hur
ricane that at times, according to Cap
tain Klrkby, blew at the rate of 90 miles
an hour. The eeas and wind tore loose
the tarpaulin covering her hatches, flood
ing her hold and confining the passengers
to the cabin.

BIG DECREASE IN RESERVE
XEAV YORK BANKS' SURPLUS IS
CUT DOWX $8,0.00,000.
Still Have Much More Than Usual
at This Season of the
Year.
NEW YORK. Oct. 3. The Financier will
ay:
The rtrlkinjr feature of the statement or
actual conditions of the Associated Banks
of New York City for the week ending
October 3 was a decrease of $8,403,35 in
surplus reserve, the heaviest loss which
haa been reported for a number of months.
The decrease In surplus brings the excess
above the legal requirements of the 25 ier
cent rule to 38.8H9.300. which, while still
superabundant from a banking standpoint,
is the lowest figure reported since last
March, but very much above the usual aver
age for this season of the yeaer. The de
crease was brought about mainly through
losses to the subtreasury and the smaller
losses to the interior- and to Canada on ac
count of crop moving purposes and as a
whole waa larger than had been anticipated.
It is worth mentioning, however, that since
August 29 laet. an interval of five Weeks,
the surplus reserves of the Associated banks
have declined nearly $i!6.000,000, or from
$61.741.50 to $HS.89.300.
The statement of averages of the clearing-house
banks for the week shows that
the banks hold $42.2Hi.130 more than the
requirements of the 2K per cent reserve
rule. This Is a decrease of $7,750,400 In
the proportionate cash reserve, as compared
with last week. The statement follows:

PERPETUAL MOTION TOY
Frenchman Invents One Which Has
Been Going Three Months.
PARIS. Oct. 3. (Special.) The annual
competition for new toys, organized- by
M. Beptne, the Prefect of Police, was
opened in Paris on Friday in the Tuiler
ies Gardens. The 'inventions" this year
are, as usual, amusing and topical. Aero
planes are largely represented. One of
these, made by M. Debrun, an ex-pro-fesiwr
of physics, is a little masterpiece.
It is an almost exact reproduction of the
Delagrange machine, and has a very
small electric motor. Held by an almost
invisible steel wire, the aeroplane flies,
rises and falls and even changes its di
rection. M. Brge has made a toy called the
"vapiano," with which he solves the
scientific problem of ''perpetual motion."
The vapiano is based on the tension of
certain bodies produced by humidity. Tha
apparatus is composed of a disc with a
hole in its center and supported by eight
strings around an axle the extremities of
which rest on pivots. Underneath there
is a basin filled with water. The strings,
moistened and drying alternately, cause
the apparatus to move "perpetually."
One of these toys has been in motion for
three months already.
FACILITY FOR ESCAPING
Neapolitan Criminal Manages to
Evade Authorities Easily.
NAPLES, Oct. 3. (Special.) Carlo
Cloppi is a criminal with an extreme
dislike for the police, from whose
clutches he has shown a marvelous
facility in escaping. He is a Neapolitan
and a couple of years ago, after mur
dering three brothers named De Luca,
managed to escape to America, whence
comes news of his most recent exploits.
Advised of his journey by their
Italian confreres the American police
were on the lookout for him and.

though they thrice arrested him, be
managed to escape as many times, and
is apparently still in the enjoyment of
freedom. On the first occasion he gave
the police a chase throuKh the most
populous streets of Brooklyn, threw
himself into the water, regained terra
firma and disajkoeared.
Some time atterwards he was again
arrested and was being carried to Lonit
lslanj for embarkation to Italy, but
somehow managed to evade his captors.
The third time he was actually placed
on board a homeward-bound steamer,
yet he succeeded in freeing himself
from his fetters, reaching land and hid
ing himself in the docks until he found
an opportunity for getting clear away.
LONDON FULL OF HUNGRY
More Than 2000 Men Apply for One
, Job Paying $4.50 a Week.
LONDON, Oct. 3. (Special.) The
distress In London at the present time 1
defies all description and thousands of
families here are actually on the point
of starving to death because it Is next
to tmpssible to get employment. A sig
nificant illustration of conditions here
was afforded the other day when one
of the hospitals advertised for a porter,
who was to receive the magnificent sal
ary of $4.50 per week. At 8 In the
morning the hospltnl was besieged by
a corps of men numbering over 2000.
Only young men from 18 to 20 were
invited to apply, but others, who had
long since passed the required age, had
evidently resolved to try their luck.
From the great crowd some 300 were
paraded for Inspection, and of these
about -50 were invited into the hospital,
the others departing in despair. Among
the destitute are many American citi
zens who left the United States when
hard times set in, hoping to find work
here, and who are now as anxious to
return to America again. The Ameri
can Consulate is doing its utmost to
assist the distressed, but the means at
its disposal are far from sufficient.
