THE SUNDAY OREGOOTAN, PORTLAND, SEPTEMBER 25, 1901. as BUYS UP ATCHISON Union Pacific Gets a Voice in Its Affairs, SAYS WALL-STREET RUMOR Explanation of the Strength Exhib ited by Both Stocks in the New York Market Bank State ment Not Surprising. NEW YORK, Sept. 2. Busy surmise, -which has been seeking for an explanation of the persistent strength of Union Pacific alighted today on an alleged purchase by the Union Pacific interests of several hundred thousand shares of Atchison, thus insuring it an influ ential rolce in Atchison affairs and strength enlng its control of the whole- trans-continental railroad situation. It must bo said for this' rumor that there was better authority for tho credence attached to it than for some of he many others and the sagging tendency of the stock on the report did not shake the faith of its believers. The heaviness of Union Pa cific was attributed to profit-taking by the speculators who had followed the movement, and the decline showed no signs of precipita tion. The most decided effect was caused to Atchison, which made a rather aggressive ad vance, especially the preferred, which, was unusually active. The United States Steel 6tocks also devel oped great strength without special news. The details of the August exports showed some very heavy declines in values for Iron and rteel compared with July, but the buyers of the steel claimed to have encouraging advices of progress In the revival in the trade. The general list wao decidedly neglected and moved narrowly and not more than was accounted for by slight sympathy with the special strong stocks. The bank statements offered no great sur prises. A loan contraction was not unex pected, but It was not as largo as was hoped for and was not sufficient to prevent a fur ther substantial depletion of the surplus re serve. Transfer of loans frpm banks to trust companies is known to have been made to a large extent, which Is & process that does not affect the actual volume of credits nor the ultimate reserve obligations upon the New Tork banks. The market closed sllghtlyirregu lar, with a few fresh advances Just at the last. Total sales of bonds, par value, $2, 195.000. Misgivings over the stability of the price level of stocks have been more or less in evi dence ell the week. The prevailing tendency of prices, however, has been downward, and the activity of trading also marks a decline in epeculative interest. As the period for the maturity of the crops approaches, epeculative attention is concentrated on the outcome. In reviewing the course of the late rise in stocks, It is easily recognized that the crop prospects on which it was initiated have been materially modified. Severe reduction in esti mates of all three of the leading crops, wheat, corn and cotton, have had to be made, and in the cases of cotton and corn, tho process is still going on. The estimates of tho com crop generally accepted In Wall street this week have been settled at aboutr 2,000,000 bushels, or below, with the corroboratory testimony of authorities on whom the finan cial world places high value. The fact is impressed by a process of retrospection that a flood of rumors and as sertions has been made the basis of enor mous buying of stocks and wide advances In their price for days and even weeks and thrown aside and forgotten without being real ized. Expected dividend increases, great -combinations and absorptions of railroad systems and alleged contests for control in the open j market have been made to feed speculative excitement continuously and then relegated to the obscurity of unwarranted rumors without material after-effect on the prices which they had served to enhance. The week's principal rumors centered about Union Pacific, but they proved so numerous and contradictory as to impair their' Influence and were dropped out of consideration. The withdrawal of funds from New Tork by the Interior has continued, and former esti mates of the unlimited sufficiency of the bank ing surplus have been revived by the rapid rate of depletion of three previous weeks. The rising course of loans has had a deterrent effect on speculation. The reports to the Controller of the Sep tember 6 condition of National banks through out the country disclose a state of reserve in the South and West that offers no prospect of less than a normal call upon New Tork for Autumn requirements. Reports of railroad earnings and of the course of general business have been regarded as .satisfactory, but .have lacked influence on etocks, owing to their agreement with expec tations which had Induced previous operations in stocks. The bond market has been Irregular and somewhat less active. United States 4s and the old 4s registered, have advanced J4, the 2s and the old 4s coupon Vi per cent on call during the week.

Decrease In Loans and Deposits foe First Time in a Month. NEW .TORK, Sept. 24. The Financier says; One notable feature of the official state ment of the New Tork Associated banks last week was the decrease for the first time since the week ending August 27 of loans and deposits, the former by $2,464,000 and the latter by $10,123,500, making the net increase in loans since the above date of $39,447,600 and in deposits of $86,780,300. The cash reserve showed a loss last week of $5,633,000, which sum very nearly cor responds with the loss as estimated upon the basis of the traceable movements of money during the week, there being a dif ference of only $405,500. The required re serve was reduced through the decrease in deposits by $2,530,875. which sum, deducted from the loss In cash, left $3,102,125 as the reduction In surplus reserve to $26, 251,025. Computed upon the basis of de posits, less those of $23,437,100 public funds, the surplus is $32,110,300. The decrease of $2,454,000 in loans, as. above stated, was probably due to the liquidation of specula tive accounts in the stock market during the week, the result of the unfavorable re ports as to the yield of corn. The state ment foiled to balance, the sum of the re duction in loans and of the loss of cash be ing $2,036,500 less than tho decrease In de posits. Circulation Increased $611,800, and the largest gain in this item was by one bank. Comparisons of loans show that eight banks reduced this item by $2,750,000 nef these banks lost $3,200,000 net In cash. Compared with August 27, Ave of the larger banks show a net expansion of $27,500,000 in loans, a net reduction of $28,000,000 in cash (or nearly the whole of the loss Indi cated by all the banks In the association) and a net gain of $1,000,000 in deposits.

Latest Estimate Places it at 275,000 Bales Heavy Buying in . California. A London cable received in this city yester day said: "English crop will not exceed 275.000 cwt. Market advancing. Growers will not eelL" A cable from Manager Henley, also received yesterday, put the yield at 280,000 cwt. Com menting on the cable news, a leading hop man said: "These figures ehow that the.English crop is the smallest since 1SS2. In that year hops went up to $1.25 per pound. There was con siderable surplus carried over then from .the year previous. This year there Is practically no carry-over stock on hand. "What Is .to prevent hops going as high as they did In 1SS2, or even twice as high? The Oregon growers Tiave the situation in their own- hands. They can keep prices down to the present figure by selling, or by holding they can put the market up almost wherever they want It." It was learned yesterday that Herman Kla.be r fc Co., of Tacoma, bought 1100 bales In California at 2627 cents, which leaves only 6500 bales in first hands in that state. Klaber also bought several' lots at Eugene at 27 cents. Phil Nels. of this city, yesterday paid 27 cents for 100 bales at Independence and a number of smaller sales were also re ported. A private letter received yesterday morning from a S. May & Co., of Albany, N. T., said the crop of that state would amount to 60,000 bales. Oregon Wools Selling Strong. BOSTON. Mass., Sept, 24.

Most of the principal lines of cured fruits are practically out of first hands and offerings by dealers are small. Peaches aro scarce and firm at top quotations. Pears are about cleaned up and aVricots are In small supply at steady rates. Apples are rather easier. Figs are weak and declining Larger sizes of prunes have lately developed a little strength. Other sizes are weak and low. Old raisins are mov ing out at steady prices. Eome new seeded have been sold, but packers are not anxious to do much business until the old are out of the way. Raisin and prunegrowers had ample warning of prevailing rains and not much damage was done. The storm restricted . trade in all the local markets today. Wheat speculation was tame considering Chicago's strength, and Decombcr closed with a small net loss. Spot wheat was firm. Barley was stronger for spot and fu tures. Oats were stead. Receipts of hay were very heavy and the market weak. The fruit market was dull. Owing to the destruction of moat .of the crop in the north ern half of the state, grapes are expected to sell higher next week. The prolongation of the storm Is causing firmness in potatoes and onions. Tomatoes are advancing, as the remainder of the crop- is practically wiped out. Hops are firm.

In addition there was eome selling on a denial of the rumor that the French gov ernment contemplated reducing tho import duty on wheat. A report of a Canadian Pacific of ficial also had a depressing Influence. Ac cording to that official the crop damage stories regarding the situation in the Canadian Northwest were grossly exaggerated. Toward the latter parti of the session, senti ment suddenly veered to tho bull side. An un confirmed rumor of possible complications in the war situation Involving Great Britain and Russia caused active covering by shorts.
