English Hop Crop Damaged. The National Association of English Hop Growers, under date of September 11, has is sued the following circular: The Council last year issued a circular to growers, in which certain advice was tendered that proved very beneficial to sellers at Wor cester Fair and subsequently. At a large and representative meeting of the I Council held here to-day the general questions of the crop and market were considered, and I although it was found that hops had thus far 1 come down in most districts ol excellent qua!- ; lty and up to expectation as to quantity, the j recent and rapid spread of red mold on the I thin lands and vermin on the deep lands is | 60 seriously affecting the ungathered crop as | to render it impossible for a larger supply of j choice hops to be marketed than was the case j last year. From these facts, added to the lark of labor in several districts It appears to be not improbable that a large area will he left unpicked, and that consequently an important reduction from previous estimates of the total yield of tne English crop must be brought about. Recent reliable Information from America j confirm previous reports and it is now ad mitted that in New York Slate the crop will be 20 to 25 per cent less than last year, and that the quality being affected by mold and vermin will be more or less inferior. There fore, though the yield of the Pacific Coast may be in ex.-vrrs of that of 189S, the total American output will only leave a moderate surplus for exportation. In Oregon and Washington there Is a recent increase of lice, which may yet lower the estimated figures for these States. Weather Report. (120 th Meridian— Pacific Time.)

EASTERN MARKETS New York Stock Market. NEW YORK, Oct. 6.— The stock market con- i tinued to snow marked Indifference to the dis turbances In fr reign markets on account of war senre and of money difficulties as well as to the continued stiffness of the local money rate. Prices dipped at the opening: on the rumor of an invasion of Natal by the Boor forces and on the further advance in the Hank of Eng land's official rate of discount. But the open ing prices were for the most part the lowest and the market quite promptly set about re trieving its decline. The liquidation for Lon don account was comparatively small in vol ume, sales not exceeding; 13,000 shares. In fact, the foreign stock markets m ■ Hi- ! to take no very serious account of the strained condition of tain and even the Kaffir mining stocks, which would be most vitally affected by the war, were quite firm. The market for call money In New York showed further, relief from the extreme strin gency. To-day's maximum rate wan 13 per , cent, and It fell before the close below the legal rate. • - . . The undertone of the market was very firm. This was iot due to any larg«s demand, even in the case of stock which moved quite widely, but rather to the bidding up of prices by those Interested In seeing a higher figure for their holding*. This bidding up process, however, failed to bring out large offerings, which fact was significant of the market's llrmnes?. An other was the large number of stocks now usually dealt in. which were brought into ac tivay. The latter feature la always indicative ! of the presence- of the bargain hunter who Is buying stocks outright to hold at an invest ment, a class of buyers who do not depend on the mom-y market for borrowed funds. There Is undoubtedly a growth of confidence that the rtringency for money is over. The demand from the Interior for funds continues large and may encroach on the reserve of interior banks loaned to-day on call in New York. The rising discount rat* in London caused an additional advance in the rate for sterling exchange here, in Paria arid In Berlin, and the weak return of the Bank of Fran discourages the Idea that either London cr New fork can hope for large relief from that center.

The Commercial Ad vertiser's London financial cablegram says: ! The advance In the bank rate to 5 per cent 1 '< caused little surprise on the Stock Exchange 1 here to-day, owing to the high rate yesterday. Bank of England returns show that the re : serve has been reduced £250,000, pulling down j the ratio of reserve liabilities to 25 per cent. [ ' That was due partly to the demand for money | i at the turn of the quarter year, but £250.000 | worth of gold is expected to be sent to the ; i Cape to-morrow. The market was erratic. An invasion or Natal by the Boers was reported, but that proved to be a signal for free buying of Afrl i cans The large capitalists steadied all de partments. The present Interval of peace is regarded only as a postponement of war. The rise In the bank rate had little effect. Bears were active in closing accounts. ' Consols opened at l r '2"i and went to 103%. i then relapsed to 103. On the rise in the bank I rat.> they closed at 103%.

Chicago Grain Market. CHICAGO. Oct. 5.-Wheat at the opening was firm and nervously active, with the price over calif. The Initial price for December was 73»i ®73% c, v* over yesterday*! close. Liverpool, the Index of the war situation, failed to hold early cains, however, and the price slid off later under calls to December 7" : \ with the market less active. Karly buyers were sellers on the decline. The tendency to liquidate was checked In a degree by the smaller receipts at primary points, and the growing belief that winter wheat supplies are becoming exhausted Clearances were lar^-e, this fact cxertlnK an influence which later advanced the price of December to 73V&C, at which figure It closed. May wheat opened at 76%@76%c, and closed at 76%@7€%c. The market was at times quite rervous over a. comparatively, narrow range. The sharp advance at Liverpool and the sud den reaction In that market indicated a feel-, ing of uncertainty in the minds of English traders over the Transvaal situation that made local shorts uneasy and caused considerable buying by that class of traders. The demand from this source was a factor in the late fctrength of the market. Trading in corn was dull. The market in general was steady in sympathy with wheat. Big seaboard engagements had some influ ence. December closed unchanged at 20% C. Oatr were quiet and unchanged, influenced j by wheat. There was a large cash demand for May at 24Vic.

WHEAT— Futures recovered some of the lost ground yesterday, hut spot prices were easy with a dull market. Chicago opened firmer on better foreign ad- i vices and war news, which gave the market ; a nervous undertone, but the feeling became ; weaker on small business and a disposition on j the port of dealers to Ignore war cables, which ; have generally ended in smoke thus far. Liv erpool was VI higher, and cargoes were strong ; on the London market. Consols were %d lower, i and the Hank of England advanced Its rate of discount to 6 per cent. Rumors of hostili- ; ties were not confirmed. Chicago dealers fought the advance, but New York continued strong, foreign acceptances were liberal and there was i very little Wheat offering, though thirty-seven loads were taken for export. A weaker Liver pool closing caused a decline and dealers were very bearish and short. Spot Wheat— Shipping. $1 07*4@l 08%; milling, $1 12%«6pi 16. CALL BOARD SALES.
