AN INTERESTING EXPERIMENT

Upton Sinclair's housekeeping ex-
pertinent at Englewood. n. j., will
be watched with interest by thou
sands of people who are neither So
clalists nor muckrakers.
Mr.. Sinclair Is known 10 fame as
the author of "The Jungle" the
book which reused President Roose-
welt to an investigation of the Chi
cago packing house methods. The
book itself is gruesome. and some-
what bloody reading. It's purpose.
as Mr. Sinclair puts II, was to make
converts TO Socialism In like man
ner that Mrs, Stoves "Uncle Toms
Cabin" made converts against slav-
cry. In this respect. as its author
oonfesses. Il is failure. As he says.
II aimed TO touch the hearts OF the
public, and found that I had only
touched their stomachs.
The royalties from this book made
their author atiluent. and put him I'm
"a position, to attempt the practical
solution of some of the problems
which bothered him.
The first problem was HOW To
LIVE DECENTLY. PEACEFULLY
AND AT NOT TOO GREAT EX.
PENSE.
This desire is universal. II Is not
confined TO Socialists or to authors.
IL puzzles everybody It Involves
the rent problem. the servant prob
lem. the children problem, and all
minor household affairs.
Everybody who has home has a
range or n cook stove. a wash tub.
"a heater or a furnace. beds to make
rooms TO clean. all OF which require
daily attention and special training
Every homekeeper has a butchers
bill, a grooer's bill. milk. eggs and
vegetables TO buy. furniture TO keen
In repair. and a thousand other wor-
rlments.
The only refuge has been to go to
a boarding house or hotel and nav
so much a week for food and lodg.
Ing This cannot constitute home.
and IL is far from affording salts.
factory family life.
The Sinclair remedy for the ser-
want problem is NOT To HAVE ANY
SERVANTS. His solution OF the
care OF children is 10 have a special
teacher All other housekeeping
matters are likewise TO be combined
and specialized.
He and a number OF his Socialist
friends, fellow authors. college pro-
fessors and students got together and
bought a vacant boarding school sit
uated on the top OF the Palisades at
Englewood. The building Is large.
WITH wings aud towers. a court. a
swimming pool. a gymnasium, school

some 1900 bales having been pur-
chased by exporters on the basis of
la to is u cents to the grower.
Some small transactions are also re-
ported in California and Washington
but dealers generally claim they are
not in the market at present asking
prices. Poor Oregons are offered at
I12 cents per pound and some low
grade Yakima could probably be Sc
cured on consignment at 10 cents
per pound advance. There has been
some further talk about heavy con-
signment from Sonoma county but
up to present writing nothing def
mite has been done. The German
market continues firm. Late mail
reports from England are to the eff
feet that business has been some
what better.

In the Borough last week, trade
showed decided Improvement,
prices having an upward tendency
with a good business passing, chiefly
in copper grades. which realized
from G5 los to s6 los. Rather more
inquiry was experienced for the bet
ter class of hops, ranging from Sc IS
to e7 Is. Offerings are kept in mar
row compass. The foreign markets
have hardened materially.
At Canterbury on Saturday consid-
erable business was done in the
choice Golding hops. Something APP
preaching two-thirds of the English
crop is now believed to have changed
hands despite the low level OF prices.
From sc 6s to sc los is the most
frequent quotation for complete East
Kent growths, but several selected
long lots have made 81 cash to the
grower. Mid Kent growths may be
quoted at from sc to sc los; Weald
and Sussex. 11Os to 1865 and Bram-
blings from 1905 to 1905 upwards
for selected parcels.
The bulk of the Worcester crop
has now passed out of first hands,
and no samples were on offer at the
market on Saturday. Good medium
qualities were in request, selling
readily at last weeks rates, and a
fair demand prevailed for other de-
scrlptions. During the week 1889
pockets passed the public scales, In
cluding So today, making 9021
weighed to date this season.
Messrs. w. II. and II. LeLay, Lon
don, report:-The market is Arm,
and a considerable quantity of hops
have been taken by consumers. The
Worcester and Hereford crop Is now
practically cleared up, very few hops
being left in growers hands after
last Saturdays Worcester market.
Mid and East Kent growths are now
commanding attention.

company that there will positively be To-
Gated on portion of this property an en-
