Be One of the Features.
A meeting of eX-members and returned
soldiers of E company, now of the Thir-
teenth, and on it's return to st. Paul,
was held last night at the armory. The
proposition made by the ladies having
friends and relatives in the company, ID

their return, was favorably considered,
and committee appointed to aid in
carrying out the plans. In addition, the
old E company boys will give the return
ing members of the company a stag
smoker Immediately after their arrival in
St Paul.
There was a slight misunderstanding
between the ladies and the old members
of the company concerning last night 5

meet with the boys and Jointly consider
plans for the reception which they had
projected The meeting was called for
another purpose, however, and the ladies
adjourned until this evening, when they
Will meet again and perfect plans
Mrs. Spear wife of Capt. Spear Of e

the ladies desired to give the members Of
the company a promedane concert and
reception, with dancing, in the armoI y.
They had intended to give it on the
tuesday following the first Sunday after
their arrival, and desired that the BOYS
formerly members of E company, assist
IN preparing the armory for the occa-
sion. The suggestion met with general
favor, and George Daily and James Rid
Ter were appointed a committee to CO.
operate with the ladies.
Inc original plan Of the resident mem
pers OF the company will also be carried
out In addition to the reception planned
by the ladies, stag smoker will be
given Committees We're appointed and
preparations for the event set under
way. A committee of ten was appointed
TO confer with Gen. Bend and reuuest
that the old E company room at the ar
nory, now occupied by B company. of

company. In the event that the reouest
IS granted, the St Paul members and ax-
members Of the company will renovaTa
and refurnish the quarters.

THE HOP MARKET.

The New York Commercial says Of Hops:
The situation OF the hop market is an in
terestng one. 1t is said that out of 135, 900
bales on the Pacific Coast less than 10, 900 are
in brewers hands and it will be eight months
before the new crop comes into the market. 1t
is also said that New York State hops OF
inferior quality and have not found ready a
sale as Pacifcs. Out of $1,000 bales of hops
growing in New York State there are still 80, 900
unsold in first hands. Choice New York State
hops Will probably bring lSlac per pound in
New York, while some OF the very common
grades be bought at about lie. The Pa
cific Coast hops range in price from 2Ql9c per
pound. according to quality.
Exports TO Europe have been exceedingly
large. amounting to about 75, ZOO bales since
September, equal to one-third Of the entire
United States crop of 1898.
The trade with brewers has been rather
dull most OF them complaining Of poor bust
ness owing to the increased revenue tax on
beer, and 1t is estimated that the loss in busi-
ness from July to December was about 10 per
cent, as compared with the same period in
1897. Dealers believe that brewers will soon
be in the market for hops and that prices will
be higher in the near future"
