JAY COULDs PRIVATE SECRETARY
New York SUM-


Morosini is probably the best, most
accomplished and most versatile recep-
tion committee in the country. He is
cordial or formal, communicative or
know nothing, diplomatic or abrupt,
uncertain or decisive, as the occasion
may require. At heart, he is most gen.
ial physically, he is superior person,
partly because he was created SO, and
partly because he is abstemious and
takes excellent care of himself. He
gives his heart good ieeway, and. If oc-
casion should require it, he could WELD
a very good arm. He is good .natured
to the extent of being hamorist, and
one who can never resist an opportunity
for a harmless practic joke. His latest
diversion has been with the scores of
letters that Mr.. Gould gets begging
him for invitations to accompany him
on his trip around the world in his yacht
the Atalanta. They come from all sorts
of people. Some want work on the
yacht, and others make all sorts of
claims. Women, whose designs are
evident from their letters, inclose their
photographs. So do alleged scientific
persons, servants and companions.
The facetious Morosini mixes up the
letters and Photographic, 30 that the
connection between the two will be
most homogeneous, and forwards them
to Captain Shackford of tho Atalanta.
The first batch, with request that he
pass upon the applications, threw the
worthy captain into state of mind
from which he has not yet fully re-
covered.
Morosini, more than any one else. at
tends to Mr.. Gould's private affairs. He
also renders efficient private service ~
his chief in his corporate undertakings.
He is thorough expert accountant, es-
pecially conversant with the methods of
railroad bookkeeping, having spent
many years in that department of the
Erie Railroad, OF which company be
was ono time the Auditor. 1t ia here
that Mr.. Gould found him, and he is
one of the few VINO stuck to Mr.. Gould
during all the Erie complications. He
is now enjoying his reward.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3l.-A cable special
20 the San from London gives the fol.
lowing additional details of the volcanic
disturbances on the island of Java. The
town 81 FanevanR, within twenty-five
lilies OF the city of Batavia, vas swept
away by lava streams. Fully ons-half
OF tne population, mostly japanese.
numbering about LOO, persisted. AT
Speetwyke, near Point Salcis, the red
not lava Set IRE to the houses and swept
away all the thickly- settled portion of
the town. About ten bazars belonging
10 Europeans were destroyed. The loss
OF property was very large, bat no lives
were lost there The river Jacatra, on
the bank of which Batavia il situated.
- so completely dasamed by lava and
debris that its course is changed, and
from Franier Bastion it flowed down
through Tiber and joined waters with
the River Emerades, swelling that river
70 Snch an extent that il ruse high on
the battery Fieelankino was almost
totally destroyed. A large number of
lives were los. there. The island of
Oritts, five miles Of the mouth of the
= onO AAfCts tWcutN ulllcS CAST
Batavia, is completely inundated. The
noat .nR dock is totally destroyed Goa
taye and Fro1whers Islaads, of that
portion OF Kav4 which disappeared, are
out OF sight, and not vestiee of them
are left. At Batavia the loss has been
largely increased since the former re-
ports. The roof of the Governors
house was crushed in by a mass of mud.
and three retainers we're killed. The
town bridge was destroyed. Diamond
and Pearl Bastions were badly damaged
and Burran Redoubt demolished. In
Gaymand, Malabar and Lion streets,
the principal avenues of the city, the
damage Is very great. Fort Aayti is en-
tirely destroy ed. The town of Faggal
was severely shaken. only a few build
ings being left stumbling.
A violent earthquake shock was felt
ON the island Of Sumatra Monday fore
noon, and it was feared that other dis
turbances might follow. Midah Island.
ten miles off the Japanese coast and
half way between the extreme points of
Java and Sumatra, was almost wholly
enRulfed by the sea. A small island,
Singkel, has entirely disappeared. 1t
was uninhabited. The aggregate loss
OF life must be fully 1900; but the
number of those who persisted can
never. OF course. be accurately known.

The following 10 copy Of Phil, Neia
i Co.'s San Francisco hop circular, r.
viewing the past season:
We beg to Offer for your perusai our
hop review Of the season now drawing
to a close, which has been one Of the
most eventful in the annals Of the
trade. The extraordinary fluctuations
In values the past season, have been
unprecedented, and furthermore the
season has been remarkable for having
demonstrated to what q great extent
economy and the use Of Substitutes can
influence on the price of the staple. The
market opened here In September 1889,
at 50 cents Der pound, and prices rose
rapidly until the middle Of November.
when 81 on net to the grower WA
paid for some desirable lots. The mar
ket was intensely excited, and holders
had most extravagant opinions, many
believing that prices Woold touch

ing the month of December trade vas
dull and prices ruled st e0d65c, but
about the first Of the neW year therO
was q better demand again and prices
advanced to 9ea95c, many holders hop
ing for q fresh boom and unwilling 70
name a price ct which they would sell,
an offer of the current rates seeming
only to raise their hopes higher. Is
seemed, in many cases, a. il thsir
weight in gold would not tempt them to
dispose Of their precious hops. Prices
continued steady until March, when Q
speculative movement in New York
State still further increased the hopes
OF holders here, but there was little
trade, and in consequence, prices
dropped until May, when the very
promising prospects Of the crop in En-
gland, together with the growing con-
y:ction that We had in America . sur
plus stock over all our needs of from
1900 to 10000 bales, caused oollapss
IA hop values, and prices have continued
TO tall lower and lower, until 15(9l8c for
fair to choice hops has been reached

The coming crop on this coast viii.
from present indications, yield about

In other districts of California the in
crease has been about the same. In
Washington Territory the acreage last
year Was 700 acres and this season il ia
fully double. In Oregon the increase
is quite large. As the Northern Pacific
will take through freight from Wash

to buying and shipping hops direct east.
The Produce Exchange, Of which We
are members, has adopted to the follow
ing rules governing transactions in
hops:
Rule Amy bale of hops weighing
not less than ITO pounds nor more than
200 pounds, gross weight, shall be con-
siderod in good delivery.
Rule Son all hops An allowance of
seven pounds per bale shall be made "a
tare. The soaking shall not weigh more
than "a ounces per yard. and any addi-
tiOnal weight of sacking or needless
surplusaRe of soaking shall be consid-
cred as irregular, and the seller shall be
liable to the purchaser for such excess

Business of the First Week in Jan
uary.

The report of the clearing house ex-
changes says the exhibit during the week is
a decidedly unfavorable one when COM
pared with that of the corresponding week
of last year. General trade throughout the
country is still suffering from the suspen-
sion incident to the close OF the year.
Speculative trade of all kinds has been ex-
ceedingly dull. The aggregate clearings tor
the week Just closed were 81 ,o91, 1892, 1872,
against $3.50, 765 376 for the previous week
AS compared with the corresponding week
of last year, the clearings show a per cent.
age of decrease of Is per cent. against de-
crease OF SO last week and decrease of 18
for the previous week. In New York the
clearings show decrease Of 23.4, against a
decrease of 30 1 last week and decrease OF
%. 8 the evious week. During the week
ending Jan. 5, the toal number of shares OF
stock sold at the New York stock exchange
were 1871, 900, against 2,445, 900 the CORE
spending week Multiplying their sales by
double par value each, we have total O
1914, 100000 as representing the amount O
exchange to be credited to stock sales this
year against s449, OoO, coo last year, fall
ing off of $34, 800, 900.
