Additions to Hotel Hollywood

Contracts were let yesterday for an
addition of some thirty rooms to the
Hotel Hollywood in the suburb of that
name. The rooms will be constructed
at the east end of the present building,
where the old dining room formerly
was and will afford accommodations
for guests this winter. In addition,
some twenty-five rooms have been con-
structed in the annex just north of the
hotel on Highland avenue, and these
will be utilized for the overflow. Dur
ing the winter the hotel will be COM
pleted according to the original plans
by the construction of the west wing,
which will add one hundred more
rooms, but these will not be available
before next spring. The season at the
Hollywood will be formally opened
November l, the inaugural ball being
set for November 3. The house is al
ready we'll filled and the bookings made
in advance show that it will be crowd
ed all winter. The orchestra has al
ready been installed for the winter and
parties for dinner, especially on Sun
day. have been numerous ever since
the cooler weather set in.

NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-Probably the
chief Importance to be attached to to-
days market is the light it throws upon
the, preceding markets. The days re-
in news made pretty conclusive evidence
of the wholly professional character OF
the upward movement
The demand for stocks in the loan de-
partment of the stock exchange was not
more than nominal today indicating the
large reduction in the outstanding inter
reasonable, the belief that yesterday s
million share market was due to the COM
bined efforts of the retreat of a con-
siderable short interest driven to cover
by last weeks advance in prices and 10
the taking of profits by the party of
professional spectators which had con-
Quoted the operations for the advance.
A small increment from the outside de-
mand attracted by the squirt in prices
facilitated the movement to take profits.
The joint effect was an extensive closing
up Of outstanding speculative contracts
so that the market of today was left
clear for new ventures.
vances had carried the average level Of
prices to the highest of the year and,
in fact to the highest record prices as q
whole, was subject of comment and
doubtless an occasion for pause. The low
grade of some of the securities which
were being rushed forward into promi-
nence was also a subject for grave ques-
tioning. 1t is the experience of specula-
tive markets that the stirring UP Of possi-
bilities for advance in. stocks, of more
substantial value have been exhausted.
Selling for London account was quite
a factor in the days weakness and the
approach of a stock exchange settlement
there was held to explain the selling.
There were many changes in the money
market, but considerable importance was
attached to, the public statement of the
president of the Imperial bank of Ger
many expressing satisfaction with the
International money situation.
New York exchange at Chicago fell
back to par, the subtreasury continues
to yield cash to the banks and the money
market was called easy.
The special points of strength in today $
stock market were without explanation
and were believed to be attributable to
operators tactics for the purpose of
sustaining the market against the real
izing in progress.
The hard and soft coalers were the
conspicuous examples of such stocks.
Their sustaining Influence was effective
in limiting the declines and restoring some
part of the losses. The market closed
heavy.
Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value,
$3555, ,000
u S. bonds were all unchanged on call.

The local produce market was feature
less yesterday, except as to the heavy
receipts of Watsonville and other apples.
Business was active in all lines of pro-
duce, indicating steady increased con-
sumption. Prices for all products were
reported firm.
Fancy Salinas potatoes move steadily
at $3.50, the stock being pretty well
cleaned up. Medium grade potatoes
also are In sharp demand.
The supply of fresh creamery butter is
inadequate daily to supply the demand,
and every forenoon jobbers are forced
to draw from storage to fill orders.
Larger dealers in eggs assert that while
the present quotation of 38c fiat for fancy
ranch eggs is in force, the demand war
rants further increase to 80 or 40c. They
are not anxious to have the price lifted
but they believe that 40c dozen Will pre-
vail in week or two inasmuch as the
ranchmen are clamoring for higher prices
for the product.
Bananas are moving rapidly at &c
pound. The three carloads received yes
terday by one jobbing firm were attacked
vigorously by fruit Venders and grocers,
and scores of punches were hauled away
for the local trade. Bananas are with
us all the year round, except for time
The demand for vegetables and fruit is
steady. Tomatoes sell at 4OG50c; cauli-
flower, 4Od50c dozen.
There was about the usual supply of
poultry, wild ducks and geese In good
supply, and fish was plentiful
