12 THE SUNDAY OEEGONIAH, AUGUST 24, 1902, STOCKS BREAK RULE Usual Advance oji Good Bank i Statement Not Made. iCAUSE OF REDUCTION IN LOANS ! Korean' Silence Continue to Have I Depressing? Influence on Specula-' , tlon Fear of Flurry In Money 4 Is Hot Entirely Removed. j NEW YORK, Aug. 23. Tho Interest In today's stock market -was rather languid. In splto of some brisk operations on the ipart oC tho speculative pools and a sub stantial increaso in tho surplus reserves of the bmks, which is usually made a 'signal for an upward movement of stocks. It did not escape notice, however, that tho actual reserves of the banks failed to i show tho expected small Improvement, the turn in tho tide of tho Subtreasury operations having taken up entirely the contribution to tho money market made earlier in tho week, so that tho cash of tho banks was decreased some ?377.300. I The contraction in tho loans of J10.4S0.100 'ehowa that tho funds which supplied to etock market during tho week came from tho trust companies and from proceeds of borrowings abroad, as had been sup posed. m , I Tho action of tho banks in reducing their loan account Is in expectation of the coming demand from tho interior, which has set in for tho season. Tho decision to postpone tho dissolution of the South ern Railway voting trust by refraining 'from tho declaration of tho dividend on tho preferred stock had only a slightly depressing effect upon that company's stocks, as it Is supposeS to bo a step to ward tho completion of tho arrangement with tho Louisville & Nashville. Colo rado Fuel was erratic, and became weak er after an early advance. The newly arrived operator whoso buying advanced Southern Pacific published estenslvo an nouncements to explain the faith that .was in him, and tho demand for Pennsyl vania was supposed to come from the 6ame source. Tho moderate advances that followed theso movements, and the publication of tho bank statement, met selling to realize, and the market closed Irregular. Review of tlie Weclc 1 A somewhat vacillating;, sentiment ro pgardlng the speculative outlook has been 'reflected by the fluctuations of prices in . tho stock market during tho week. Con fidence has continued unabated over tho 'prosperity of .the general conditions in tho country, but solicitude has been man ifested at different times over tho re sources of tho money market to carry 'tho present expanded credits through the period of expanded circulation of money In tho country. Tho return to New York of J. P. Morgan, after an extended vaca tion, gave rise to a revival of speculative i animation, which was followed by sharp reactions. As there has been speculation for somo time past over the expected de velopments to follow Mr. Morgan's re turn, and as theso developments were not .announced immediately, tho realizing of j profits was but a natural consequence, according to the custom of speculative buyers. There, can be no doubt that there are settlements outlined of important problems which have awaited Mr. Mor j gan's approval and advice, and which will have important effect on financial affairs, but tho hopes professed In speculative quarters of tho rapidity and scope of theso decisions were somewhat absurd. It is evident, also, that the speculation 'has already partly, if not wholly, dis counted tho effect of somo of these pro jects. Tho belief that the anthracite coalmln ers strike would bo Immediately settled by Mr. Morgan's presence was disap pointing. Tho faith was strong in "Wall street that the end of this struggle is ap proaching, and that the suspension of mining is not likely to extend into tho season of demand for Winter supplies, j The undecided situation In which tho Louisville & Naslivlllo has remained ever since the passage of control In the specu lative buying of tho stock in the open .market, and tho subsequent deposit of 1th 9 stock with J. P. Morgan & Co., for settlement, is not likely to enduro much longer. Efforts to discount settlement have been an Important influence in the lanarket, not only in that stock, but in fthe whole Southern field, as It Is ex fpected that a comprehensive readjustment of railroad relations in that -Held will be (involved. Tho entry of tho St. Louis & Can Francisco into that field is Supposed to enter Into tho final settlement, and the -movements of the Gould stocks have sug I gested the possibility that they are also j Involved. It is evident, also that the situation ; caused by the impairment In tho health f of tho president of tho United States Steel Corporation commanded tho early atten tion of the leading spirits In tho comblna , tlon. Mr. Morgan's active resumption of the direction of tho far-reaching affairs 'which ho commands was thorefore an Important incident in the financial world, t and was clearly reflected ' in tho stock t market. Money Market Is Easier. j There was also an easier tone developed "In the money market, after a slight flurry j on Monday, as a consequence of tho un . favorable bank statement of last Satur J day. The source of tho relief to the money market is not obvious. It was al ' leged at first to bo duo to funds attracted i from the interior by tho higher rates pre vailing here, but this view was regarded ; with skepticism in view of the active money markets of the Interior, and" the 1 TOTinfm nt mm n fjinfl frnm W "T.-1 j to Interior points. The moro likely cx- planatlon was that tho trust companies wero placing funds In the local market, and thus relieving tho pressure on the J clearlng-houso banks. There were also j large transfers of credits to foreigners early In tho week, but as tho money rate I here relaxed, the foreign exchange hard- ened, and the offerings of finance bills j In the exchange market diminished markedly. The fact that a further 20 per cent ln l stallment of subscriptions on the S100.000.- 000 British loan comes ' duo in London on September 4, the talk of an early issue of j a Transvaal loan In London, and a report that tho French Government will soon ' Issue a new loan of $200,000,000, were ad- dltlonal influences in hardening the ex change market. In which the short inter I est is now very large. London also sold I stocks hero steadily all week. The move- mont of currency to tho interior is ox pected to develop suddenly into large pro portions as soon as It sets In, and tho i transfers through the Subtreasury on Wednesday. Thursday and Friday were regarded as probably tho initiation of the movement. Last year tho course of the j current changed in tho week ending Au t gust 17. when tho interior gained less than J500.000, as was the case In the fol i lowing week. But in tho week ending August 31 tho interior gained $3,424,000 at the expense of New York, and varying ' sums every week thereafter until Novem j ber, when the current turned again. In the week ending September 14 the course of events was Interrupted by the assasslna- tlon qf President McKInley, and heavy i liquidation was precipitated. The bond market was unsettled this " week, by tho reduction of the voarlv in- j terest dl3buracmerfts on tho control of Georgia first income bonds from 5 to 3 per cent, resulting in active liquidation. The general market has been irrenrular. and tho only important dealings wero in the speculative issues. United States new 4s and old 4s advanced the 2s and the.Es per cent, as compared with the closing call of last week.

" But a gcod demand set in at once, and bulls let go of nothing savo at good profit. The coolness of tho weather gave rise to some apprehension of frosts, and fear of that was augmented by dispatches from the interior, which stated that frosts had already done some damage. This steadied December, and Septembor. which needed only ' continued manipulation to boost It, Jumped upward rapidly. Yester day's shorts covered and September jumped from 5(c to 5STc, and closed lc up at 5Sc Leading elevator Interests were under wheat. September had a good buying support after the somewhat dull opening, and although trade lapsed dull at times, business In general -was good and the tone firm. At tho start cables wero lower. September opened 8o down at H&71Mc Corn strength started a reaction, but a fair cash demand and export clearances In wheat and flour equaling 1,037.000 bush ers put September to 2c Tho locsl crowd was inclined to the bear side, but changed front to somo extent on fears of manipulation In the September option.

Tho local wheat market last week had a limited amount of business. Toward tho end of the week somo spirited competition took placo botween buyers, with the result that In tho Palouso country prices were bid up over 61c in some coses. Growers aro holding cm to their product pretty stiffly. Exporters look upon.quotod prices as too high in relation to cargoes In Europe. In Liverpool on Friday two cargoes of Walla Walla were reported sold at 27s lpd. Charters remain steady, several having been made for near-by ships in the past few days at 23s 3d. Barley has had a keen market all week, with prices quoted up to $19 50 per ton for first grade. Feed bar ley has been selling at from $17 to $18. Somo quantities in the Dayton country have been sold for Eastern shipment. Tho oats market has not fully opened up yet, nor have prices reached an established figure.

FILED IN HODGE SUIT. Witness Charged With, Having; Ac cepted "Hush Money" Bond-Conversion Plan Is Explained. TRENTON, N. J., Aug. 23. A supple mental affidavit In behalf of the United States Steel Corporation was filed In the Court of Chancery today In the suit brought against that concern by J. Aspln wall Hodge to restrain the conversion of $200,0CO.C00 7 per cent preferred stock Into $200,000,000 5 per cent bonds. One of the affidavits Is by George W. Perkins, of tho firm of J. P. Morgan & Co., and also chairman of tho Steel Corporation's finance committee Mr. Perkins goes at length Into ex planations as to. the reasons that prompted the committee to recommend the bond conversion plan and tho payment of $10, 000.000 commission to J. P. Morgan & Co. An affidavit by Joseph E. Corrlgan. of the law firm of Guthrie. Cravath & Hender son, tells of a confession made to Mr. Guthrie in his presence by James Lan caster, who gave testimony for Hodge, to the effect that the entire plant of the United States Steel Corporation was not worth more than $500,000,000. Mr. Gorri gan says Lancaster admitted that when he made the affidavit ho did not know it was to bo used in any suit, and ho was governed only by his Impressions, as he understood the affidavit was to be used only in an advisory way In tho matter of stock Investment. Corrlgan goes on to swear that Lan caster stated to himself and Mr. Guthrie that he found out, a few days after mak ing the affidavit, that the affidavit was be ing used In tho Steel Corporation suit, and that he protested to David Lamar, who got him to make the affidavit, Lamar then, according tg Lancaster's statement, agreed to pay Lancaster $250 a week and $1000 when the suit was settled. Lancas ter then made a second affidavit and got $400. Subsequently he got into a row with Lamar about his compenaitlon and finally got $500, making a total of $1000, he hav ing received $100 for his first affidavit. Accordng to Corrlgan. Lancaster said many things at the offico of Abram I. Elkus, of the firm of James, Schell & Elkus, and Lancaster told Corrlgan in Elkus office that they expected to mako big money out of the suit Hodge, the complainant in the suit, according to Lan caster, told the latter that he (Hodge) was acting for others, and that Lancaster need not look to him for any money for hla services. Corrlgan states that he learned of Lancaster through his efforts to locate Peter Power In the Northern Securities Company stilt, Power having been at one time employed by Lancaster. Mr. Perkins, In hla affidavit, stated, that the financial committee of- the United States Steel Corporation realized the ne cessity of having more cash with capital to protect Itself against money stringen cies, and the conversion plan was decided upon, because It would reduce the fixed charges, $1,500,000 yearly. The commission of $10,000,000 to J. P. Morgan & Co. wiis agreed upon, because of the risk that firm would be obliged to take in going Into the market to purchase $S0,0O0,0CO of preferred stock of the corporation, and the advance ment of $20,000,000, both of which acts were part of the agreement between the cor poration and J. P. Morgan & Co. Mr. Perkins, in his affidavit, said that shortly after the organization of tho. Unit ed States Steel Corporation, an investiga tion as to the extent, conditions", capacity and needs of Its several properties was begun by the executive and finance com mittees, and that after a year's close at tention to those problems, tho executive committee brought to the attention of the finance committee the advisability of providing about $40,000,000 of cash, to be used In Improving and extending the various plants of the subsidiary compan ies and reimbursing and capitalizing be tween $15,000,000 and $20,000,000. which has been expended for purchase and construc tion of various kinds undertaken by the subsidiary companies Just prior to the organization of the steel corporation. The subject was considered for many weeks. The members of both committees became convinced that tho expenditure of this new money would not only tend to strengthen permanently the existing earn ing capacity, but would increase the net profits not less than $10,000,000 a year. It was finally determined that the most economical and advantageous plan was to creato and Issue $250,000,000 face valuo of second mortgage bonds and use the bonds or their proceeds, first. In procur ing the necessary cash requirements, and. secondly. In purchasing and retiring $200. COO.OOO par value of the outstanding 7 per cent cumulative preferred stock. Mr. Perkins then gave In detail the or ganization of the syndicate to carry through tho plan, the syndicate agreeing to purchase and lodge with J. P. Morgan & Co. $S0.000,000 of preferred stock, not to bo sold for a year and a half, further agreeing to exchange all of this or only 40 per cent of It at the option of tho steel corporation, for second mortgage bonds, and contracting to take second mortgage bonds from tho steel corporation at par exchange for $20,000,000 In ca3h. For this the steel corporation was to allow the syndicate 4 per cent commission on all bonds It took in exchange for stock and 4 per cent commission on all tho bonds it took at par for cash, so that tho trans action stood in the end In this form, viz. If $30,000,000 of bonds wero issued for stock and $20,000,000 of bonds wero Issued for cash, the steel corporation would have paid to the syndicate 4 per cent on $100. 000.000. or $1,000,000. and J. P. Morgan & Co. would have received for guaranteeing the wholo $100,000,000. for handling tho syndicate and' the securities, and for find Ing a market on behalf of the syndicate, one-fifth of $4,000,000. or $800,000. The money needed could have been raised. said Mr. Perkins, by stopping dividends on the preferred and common stock for one year, or on tho common stock alone for 2 years, but this course was deemed unfair to the stockholders. Mr. Perkins then declared that tho statement made by Bernard Smith in an affidavit to tho effect that William H. Moore, Norman Ream, Peter A. B. WI dener and John D. Rockefeller, Jr., wero members of the syndicate was true, and further set forth that 61 others, firms or individuals named by Smith, were not members of the syndicate. Foreign Financial Ncvr.
