v 7 -sr ( THE 3IORXIXG OREGOXIAX, TUESDAY, MARCH 31, 190S. lo E Portland Escapes What Befell Seattle Trade. RYAN AND HIS DEPOT Revolution In the Wholesale Fruit Business of the Sound City Lo cal Jobhers Keep Peace With the Banana King. Thre are complications In the banana trade In the Pacific Northwest that for a time threatened to extend to Portland, but have prohably been averted. Seattle is now in the throes of a banana war, and Spokane and Taecma miy aoon become involved. Prat lea. 1 y all the ba n mas sol d in the Northwest have been broupht here from New Orleans In cart of the Ryan Danana Messen ger Service, the hindquarters of which are at Prattle. The Ryan Company gets the bananas from the 1'nlted Fruit Company at the gulf port, and merely takes care of them In transit. Recently the majority of Seattle fruit Job ber , po6ee9d with the Idea that Frank Ttj an was) ma kin a- too much money on the deal, svered their relations with him and cave their business to A. Kauffman, wbo had started an independent messenger service of hjs own. They probably thought that Ryan would quietly go out of business, but If bo, they have another "think" coming. Instead of quitting. Ryan wired the ba nana trust to continue ehlpping the usual number of car weekly to Seattle. His next ntp was to open a bansma npot and then he provided himself with delivery wagons. N'ow he i supplying the Seattle retail trade exclusively, except for one or two jobbers who stood by him, and the other merchants are out In the cold. By arrangements made with t Uie wholesale grocers, the . travel in a rmn of the latter are looking out for Ryan's out-of-town business. Kauffman opened negotiations with the Port land trade, but only two of the Jobbers here took up with htm, so far a can be learned. Had the larger part of them signed with Kauffman. It Is probable that Ryan would hava at onco accepted the challenge and opened an independent banana depot In this city.

Another Call on Government Deposits Is Probable. NSW YORK, MarMi 30. The cours, of price, of stocks was downward today on-trig to th comparative depression In both the foreign and home markets. Continued weak ness In th London market was reflected In the copper mining and industrial nocks. The sentimental influence of these weak nesses was enhanced . by th suspicion at taching to last week's rise -in those stocks as beinff of manlpuuatH e origin and de signed to facilitate tho exploitation of the euro market for a newly floated mining stock. A pronounced effect was produced by the slump In the Erie stocks, which was trace able to the uneasiness caused by the sharp rece!ion in the price at which the com pany's notes, maturing in April, were offered in the outside market. The recent rise In the company's securities had given confidence that the directors' meeting today would develop a plan for meeting the notes. The tenor of the selling of I'nlted States Steel also kept alive fears that liquidation for inside account was in progress in those shares. Hpcculative sentiment was tinged by the general conjecture that the recently fostered rise in prices of stocks might have been designed to furnish a favorable basis for some further necessary liquidation. Attention was glvento estimates of the early necessity of another heavy draft on th. Government deposits with the banks. The suggestion was put forth today that, in addition, a replenishment of treasury re sources was In contemplation by withdraw als from the banks that would Insure suf ficient supplies to come to the relief of the money market In the Fall In the way that has now become customary. This suggestion was coupled with an intimation that the at tention of administration officials has been attracted by the growth of margin specu lation In New York and that operations to shorten the supply of Government funds might be conducted with a view to cut off this form of activity. The effect was some what disquieting to the speculative eJcment. Th day's clearing-house statement shows a subtreaury debit balance of nearly $4,000,000. due to special operations of the United States Controller's office in connec tion wfth the adjustment of banking affairs holding over from the period of the bank ing crisis, the exact nature of which was not officially .explained. Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par value, sa.872,000. United States bonds wera unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing High. Low.
