IS THE MQRNIKtt OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, JULY 29, 1903. 18 STILL UNSETTLED Early Gains in Stocks Are Soon Dissipated, CROP, REPORTS. MAIN FACTOR GralB-Carryinff Roads Led im the "Wealcness and Others De clined la Sym pathy. NEW YORK, July 2S. The stock market this rooming showed the continuing; effect of the clearing of the atmosphere which resulted from yesterday's and Friday's failures and the mar ket became Quite generally strong. But the brighter sentiment over the outlook did not hold Its fjll force throughout the day. There was a rather pronounced reaction at the last which wiped out the most Important part o the day's gains and took a few of the grain carriers a point or more below last night. Hew York. Central was the conspicuous leader In the advance, rising at one time 2 over last aleht on buying reputed to be of the best character. The sentimental effect on the mar ket of the buying of this stock and of Pennsyl vania and the affiliated stocks, as well as of the coalers and the high-grade railroad stocks was considerable. Atchison suffered most acutely amongst the market leaders and its drop to 1 below last night upset the late market and led the whole list downward. The grain carriers were not standing at any time, and were presumably affected by reports of hot winds In the corn belt and by the "Weather Bureau's weekly bulletin on corn and Spring wheat. Reports of crop -damage were reinforced by the upward movement of prices In the grain markets and the' development of profit-taking In those markets' did not save stocks from the late reaction. The Improved sentiment this morning was largely due to the understanding that tho closing out of hypothec cated securities for loans for both the failed firms and for others under pressure for pay xnent of loans on collateral for which the mar ket- is not active, was to be suspended for the present to await a more favorable market. Late In the day there were Indications of a resump tion of. selling out of collateral in some loans. The buying through commission bouses was reported to be better than for many weeks and was hopefully regarded. But this buying did not follow the market upwards. There was evidence of a purpose to drive in the beare n the calling in of stocks loaned for deliver' on short contracts, and In the character of some of the rumors which were set afloat. Thete was a report of a private settlement between the Union Pacific Interests of last week's failed flrmi, looking to taking over of large hold ings of Southern Pacific and the resumption of business by the firm. This was denied when the Union Pacific directors assembled to declare tho regular dividends. Toledo, St. Louis & Western was reported to have passed to Grand Trunk control. An offer of 60 to Evansvllle & Terre Haute was alleged to have been made by an anonymous bidder. Colorado Fuel was eaid to have acquired the Utah Iron Company, and Its price shot up nearly a dozen points. The other stories were effective in a varying degree in causing sharp bidding for stocks, The renewal of the steel billet pool seemed to be hopefully regarded amongst iron and steel company shareholders and stocks of that group were quite generally strong. The time money market was reported appreciably hlghe: and some long-time loans were reported to have been made below 6 per cent. Sanguine hopes were expressed or a strong bank statement on next Saturday. But the obvious fact was that the demand from the shorts was growing satis- fled and that the investment demand was not .following the advance in prices. When trad ers attempted to take profits on the day's, rise the market .gave way and closed unsettled and irregular. jSg?3. cw.-' strong and higher. Total sales. par 'Jiie. $3.4SO,ouo.

While still averse to placing their opinions on record, the conserv ative banking interests of this city practically agree that the events of the past fortnight have done much to clear the atmosphere. A few express further apprehension as to the market's action, and there are intimations in other quarter of a money stringency when crop-moving time comes jacoD -n. scnio, oi Auan, ixxa at w., saia today: So confident am I that all serious danger Is at an end that I Tiave arranged to leave town tonight for a month." A. Barton Hepburn, former Controller of the Currency, and now vice-president of the Chase National Bank, said: "The country has undergone an era of great and genuine prosperity. As is always the case, advantage is taken of such conditions to promote a great many securities at greatly Inflated values. "We have gone too far and too fast. Credit has been too much extended. A hardening process which subjected securities to a level that would determine' their proper value yas bound to come and Is now in progress through out the country. Under this pressure, railway shares some of them have depreciated to a point where, as an investment, they are at tractive. Doubtless other securities will be subjected to pressure, receding In value until they reach the investor's point. Later commer cial and industrial interests of the country will doubtless undergo a similar experience. Those who have made mistakes financially must suffer also. ' "General business conditions, however, are In excellent shape, the crops are so munificent that it will be Impossible to produce anything like a financial or commercial crisis, and peo ple will have ample opportunity to put their houses in order. "The stock market has fallen 60 points with out serious nanlc or complication, and the business Interests of the country will have equal opportunity to conform to the fall in prices or to the reduction In the volume of trade." L N. Seligman, of J. W. Sellgman & Co., said: "The severe liquidation has imparted a feel ing of safety and security, not only among the careful banking interests, but with the prudent and sensible public Conditions which brought about the liquidation resulted simply from over-speculation. Fully $10,000,000 to $20,000,000 of European capital has been sent here for Investment within tne past week. I can say that In case there should be any squeeze during the next two months, the Treas ury Department will offer prompt relief to le gitimate financial interests.'

Grain, Flour, Feed, Etc There Is very little business In wheat, farm ers showing unusually bullish views, which prevents business being done on an export baeis. Old wheat is very scarce, and San Francisco millers are paying a high premium over export values. New Walla Walla Is nomi nal at about 72 cents, and new bluestem about 76 cents. Old wheat will comrfiand a premium of about 6 cents per bushel. The barley market is very strong, in sympathy with San Fran cisco markets, and some fancy prices are re ported paid up tho country.

"Weather Has Been Very Favorable for Filling: and Ripening Grata. The United States Department of Agricul ture Climate and Crop Bulletin ot the Weather Bureau, Oregon section, for the week ending Monday, July 27. Is as follows: -j.no xore pan or tne weeic was warm and showery, while the latter part was clear and cool, especially at night. The showers were not heavy enough to be of benefit to. corn and pastures, and In some of the coast counties they interfered with haying. The hay harvest Is now well advanced, and In the southern sec tions many farmers have finished cutting their second crop of alfalfa. The hay crop, as a whole, will be less than last year, and It will fall slightly below the average for the last ten years. Pasture on the ranges Is drying up, but it continues good In tne mountains. The weather has been very favorable for filling and ripening grain. The heads are of good size and the berry Is plump, but the stand Is thin, and consequently the yields are falling below the average. The grain harvest has become general In the Columbia River Valley and lh southern sections, and well started in the Willamette Valley. Oats prom ise better yields than either wheat or barley. The cloudy weather during the fore part of the week caused lice to Increase In the hop yards, and some spraying has been done. Hops -continue thrifty, and no serious damage from vermin has yet occurred. The crop Is not so far advanced as usual at this season of the year, and some fears are entertained that It will not mature be forest he Fall rains begin. Potatoes and gardens -artf" ddlng finely, but the nights have been too cool tor corn to maks rapid growth, and this crop now needs rain. Field onions are reported to be generally in good condition, although la a tew places they are affected by blight. A short crop of peaches Is being marketed. and plums are beginning to ripen. Prunes and pears continue to make excellent progress, and these crops promise well. Apples are un even, and an average crop Is not expected During the past week high winds in the Grand Rondo Valley have caused considerable green fruit to drop. COAST DISTRICT.

EDWARD A. BEALS, Section Director, Portland, Or. ACTIVE, BUT LOWER, Erratic- Market In Wneat aad Cora, With Slight Losses Scored. CHICAGO, July 2S. Trading In wheat was active at the beginning of the session and opening prices were strong, with September V4?V4c higher at 7834 to 7854c. There were a good many buying orders to be filled at the opening and under this demand the market was strong the first half hour, and September sold at 76V'c. but the better prices brought out many -jelling orders from commission houses and there was also plenty of general liqui dation which soon started prices on the down grade. Later In the session the selling move ment was increased under the Influence of the Increase of 29,000 bushels in the world's vis ible and also by the bearish construction put on the weekly Government crop report, and In consequence the market ruled quite weak. After selling down to 77?ic. September rallied slightly and closed at 77877Vic, a loss of Vi QXc. There was a large volume of trade In corn. and although opening prices were strong, the advance was not maintained, owing to heavy realizing, by prominent operators. Private reports of rain In Kansas, with pre dictions of further precipitation for that state. together with the rather bearish tone ot the weekly Government crop report, were partly responsible for the selling movement. Late In the day the selling became more pronounced and the close was at the bottom, September being HSHc lower at 52Vic. after ranging between 52 Vi and 53 vie Although Arm. In sympathy with other grains, heavy receipts, good grading and Im proved crop prospects caused weakness in oats late 'n the day, and lower prices pre ailed the remainder of the session. After iu111nr hetwren and 34e. Sentemher oats closed uUc lower at 33V&C Good buying by shorts caused strength In provisions at the opening, with general ad vances in all products. The strength in grains and the smaller hog receipts were early influ ences. Realizing sales caused a loss of part of the gain. The close was firm, with Sep tember pork up 12V&C at $13.62Vi: September lard was 10$12Vic higher at $7.62U7.65, and ribs were up 12Vi15c at $7.50. The leading futures ranged as follows WHEAT. Ooen.

WInatnnler Snya That Prices Will Be Higher. Hop SALEM. Or.. July 28. Two weeks ago the hop situation was completely In the hands of the crowers of Oregon, who naa pooieo. neariy all of the nnsold hops, amounting to over 3000 bales, and the situation had simmered down to a waitimr same between the growers ana the brewers, with chances in favor of the rain-era. Recently, however, a break has Been made In the ranks ot the growers, ana several hundred bales have been sold, consigned and shipped out of the state, greatly weakening the position ot the growers. The Hopgrowers' Association is still holding together, however. and Secretary Wlnstanley U putting forth hta best efforts to rally them to a final stana, and with this object in view he has issued the following circular letter to all the members of the association. "Tho combination of brewers and dealers has succeeded In getting possession of the hop market and manipulating it to their own interest. They have succeeded' only because of the credulity of the growers. The dealers have stuffed the papers with lies and false repre sentatlona in order to stampede the growers. A few days ago every dealer in town told tho growers 'the brewers did not need any more hops: they are well supplied. Today, July 24, every man has an order, and is do!n.t his best to cause the grower to sell his holdings. If all growers would hold their hops, there Is no question about the result. There has not been a year since laic wnen growers couia control the market so well as this year. Never before were stocks so low as they are at this time. Brewers must have these hops to mix with the new crop. In order, to make beer of a certain quality. Regarding the coming crop there are four chances out of five for a shortage. Oregon, 70,000; fcatirornla, 43.000 Washington 32.000; New York state. 40.000 total. 185,000 bales. The United States will need for consump tlon 200,000 bales for the year 1904. Engtand has a doubtful crop of 400,000 hundredweight, and requires for home use 800,000 hundred weight. Germany's crop Is estimated at 25 per cent less than last year, and there Is not a crop In the world that Is not In great danger from lice, which is sure to reduce this est! mate. I respectfully submit this letter to the hopgrowers and sincerely hope they will use It for their own profR." Dairy Produce nt Chicago. CHICAGO. July 28.
