There is a disposition among some pf the bull leaders to force another bullish campaign, such as proved such a disaster to growers last-season, and not only are fake-foreign cables being utilized, but home market conditions are given In a false 11 ght -. . i "Personally I ; would rather see the hop market here at 20e pound than at a lower figure, said a well known Interest, "but I believe In -eta ting- Just what .the market is;; -nor higher, nor lower- As far as I am concerned, I believe-in stating the facts In the mwi papers, and If the news; is bullish, It should be printed thaV way,, and if bearish the news, should Jean, J" direction.

ML BIEI; VISIBLE IS SHORT Outside Shipments Increasing and Demand Is Heavier Al though Prices Show No Late Change. A slightly better feeling is apparent here in the wool market.' While no change in prices is shown, selling Is more ' substantial and for - greater amounts than formerly. . An effort Is being made by some 'In terests to inject politics Into the wool situation, but this Is having no effect at this time. - V A leading eastern wool commission merchant writes under date of Septem ber 16: .. "Although price changes in wool dur ing the past fortnight have been unim portant, there is a perceptible Improve ment in the tone of the market "Adverse political conditions, lasting for more than eight months, depressed prices here while they were advancing abroad, but ft more optimistic view now prevails, based on the knowledge that the normal manufacture of goods has been halted so long that consumption has caught up to1 production.. Surplus supplies of desirable goods have been exhausted. ---":';:. -a.' "As there has been an estimated de crease In manufacture-of raw wool of nearly 800,000,000 pounds, or 18 per cent, lri the three years,- 1908, 1909 and 1910. below that of the former period of three years, 1905, 1906 and 4907, It follows that there must have been that much fewer goods rrtade, ' v ; . ', "Many contend there is now a, marked scarcity in igoods, and as manufacturers; as a rule, are carrying smaller stocks of domestic wool supplies, than at any time during the decade, the foundation is being laid for improved business. "There are now, therefore, three, very encouraging factors,; "The first of these Is the admitted scarcity of goods; the second, light wool supplies in the mills; and the third, .the cheapness of both wool and textiles made of wool. . "It has been noted, heretofore, that whenever prices have been low, wool has passed freely;into consumption." $4-10; rye. $5.75: bales. $8.l. rrotts ana vegetables.

Today's upward spread of security prices was the work of professionals. The shutting down of the nortn side works of the Carnegie Steel company was taken as a bearish factor in the steel and iron trades. It Is announced that the shutdown will be for an In definite period. ..! j t Official announcement of the suspen sion of the dividend on Daly-West min ing stock was another bearish feature that the boosters had to contend with today. - i Still another bearish feature was the report that - the interstate commerce commission had suspended the proposed increase n freight rates on 40 roads in the middle west. The suspension is un til January 6, 1911. The order affects nearly all roads. Judge Gary denies that cuts are being made in steel products and says busi ness Is very satisfactory. !
