Since the drop In the east : the trade has been expecting a similar movement .alone the coast and this morning the expected happened. The change was made by both refineries. Baying1 Hops for Export. Whllo there Is a. slightly Increasing : demand for ordinary grade hops, the market continues best for the finer grades. For the strictly export quality there is a demand this time . around SMc a pound and several sales have been made at that figure.

Wolf A Netter bought the George Rose lot of about .l.frOO bales at 8o a pound . Few Operators Have Trade. Onlv a few operators ere In the msr- ket for hops at this time but they are - bidding up a fraction for, the better growth. - Hans Wahlburg Is said to have oeen a recent ; purchaser of - ordi nary grades in the Silvcrton district.

New York Producers' Price Cur rent lli ua sums up the general situa tion : T "The market here continues quiet. with; very little trading locally. In New - York state trading has been falriy ac tive with 12fei2ttc reported paid for some of the best lots, and lower grades selling at lfHoUle. Transactions do nor " total up to big figures, but enough to keep the market firm on desirable hops. !' Pacific coast markets are unchanged i with activity limited toi-the best goods - only.

Arrivals of livestock were email in the local yards during the past 24 hours. In all a total of but 190 cattle were re ceived. While the prospects are believed to be better for select steers, ordinary stuff is quite hard to move, even at present quotations. Best cows ana heifers are In the same condition, each f Incline a good demand -at close to top prices. While ordinary sturr is not ex actly weak, the tone of the demand is not nearly so good as for the better class of goods. . , Hog market is snowing a umpun uuu to Blightly improve its tone, especially for the best quatity and for top east of the mountain stuff prices are ruling be tween 86.10cai6.15. What is ordinarily considered best quality will , not move over $6, however. There is asngntiy improyea leenns for sheen off best duality, and prices are stiffening somewhat for this grade. Best Quality Zs Wanted. There 1s a auite good demand for fanoy ewes and wethers at this time." Rava J. r. T.oneriran. "and all fat. stuff can be readily moved around $3.03.26 for fat ewes, and $3.50 for best wethers. Once in a while it would likely be pos sible to obtain as high as' $3.60 for the latter. Good fat top steers are moving all right but ordinary steers are rather dull. Hogs are holding about the same." "Ordinary cattle are dragging In the yard at the present time," says W. P. Gould of Benson & Gould today. "The best grade of cows will find a sale at too figures, but ordinary stuff In all lines is disposed to dullness. The hog market Is Just abont the same, with $6 (he top for ordinarily good stock.

Thornton, Harryman A Matthews write under date of 26th ult thus: 'There has been rather more do ing on the market during the past week. Bome of the largest growths have changed hands. The Inquiry for all choice samples continues, and buyers not finding these at all plentiful seem more Inclined to turn their attention to tne seconds. "Messrs. Manger Henley, on the same date, report: 'All the bright hops are practically sold, and prices are hardening. The merchants have diffl. culty In finding hops good enough for their requirements.' "Messrs. W. H. & H. LeMay have this to say (also dated October 26): The demand for the best hops continues sat isfactory, and consumers are now pay ing more attention to tbe good medium clans that Is clean and healthy. There is little business doing in the poorest at me exiremeiy tow prices now being ac cepted for such.' "Now. aa far as our domestic trade is concerned, the eastern brewers have been holding back, so far, on account of tne yery Dearisn reports sent them from the coast by a clique of 'short sellers,' who expected a repetition of last year's slaughtering prices and an equally large overproduction of hops in the three Pa clflo coast states. Being foiled in this, their anticipation, and knowing that this year's crop is altogether too short, sa much so that we shall hardly have suf ficient hops to last the American brew ers till we reach another harvest these freebooters In the otherwise respectable hop fraternity are concoctinr all kind. of schemes to prevent prices from going up,' and principally among the former are certain fictitious 'cables' that un doubtedly in most cases are simply 'Ironmongrelled' right here at home. The tone of the hop market is perfectly normal otherwise; and growers aa Well as dealers who have hops on their hands nave; an reason to reel sate with their Investments, provided they will not let themselves be browbeaten bv a certain clique of short sellers:" New York Cotton Market Open. . 4 ,. 8 1 7 ..J,(,.876 ........ 877 1 bI ( ft (97.

All ner belongings were wrapped up in a newspaper and Gerald McDonnell acted as teamster-ln-chlef. at least he was carrying the bundle. Susie is a woman of uncertainge wno is not unknown to the police. McDonnell Is much younger, but the fact that he was In Susie's com pany weighed against him. . Inside the bundle was an .ancient corset and two powder puffs. That was the Ust of Susie's belongings, and when Patrolman Small stopped the pair they said they were moving from Mill street to the London, a north end rooming house. They were taking up a little too much of the street in, moving although ths bundle was not larce. so Small stopped the pilgrimage. urunK na vagrancy was tne cnarge.

' ' LOST VITALITY "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine, but a broken spirit drieth the bones."--Proverbs 17-22. The above quotation from the Old Testament Is worth thinking over.. If you are older physically than you are to - years, "spirit .broken,", despon dent, ; run down and . discouraged, take a hint from the above text and act accordingly. Don't make up your mind to look after, your health bye-and-bye, for - that leads to never Action corrects mistakes, de spair and neglect, increases them. There Is ona little epigram that If ad hered to will make a man all that he can ever hope to be In this world In health and wealth it is to "not put off until tomorrow that which should be dona today."

IMakeMenSftona Enough to succeed in the battles of life, because skill and experience have taught -me how. Don't fool your time or money away on body bat teries or electric belts. Men have written me that their testimonials were used without their consent and were not true, I keep them on file to protect this statement. You can get more electricity for a penny in a penny amusement parlor than is contained In the biggest body battery fake on the market. There are failures in all' walks of life. When a preacher goes wrong he says the church is composed of hypo crites; when a lawyer is a failure he attributes It to anything but a lack of brains. When some doctors are no good electricity streams from every finger Up and every port from the effects of a 76o tin but ton girth (in pictures only) at So much par. Gentlemen, be sensible and. serious. If you get cured of an ailment you want it to be a real cur and a lasting cure. If a doctor is able to do this he Is willing to wait for his pay until you- are cured.
