Bank Statement Leading Fac
tor in Stock Speculation.
BETTER THAN EXPECTED
Operators Take It at Its Face Value
Though It Is Xot Uegardcd as
a Reliable Criterion of
Existing Co'nditions. .
NEW YORK. Sept. 30. Tho weekly state
ment of the olearlng-house banks was the
center of Interest today and published Intima
tions ot Its favorable character were circulate
ed before the statement Itself appeared. Pxlces
advanced accordingly, and while ' some best
tation developed In the closing toate, last
prices were near tla best.
The weekly bank statement has been sub
ject to criticism for a long time as an Inade
quate showing of the actual condition, ot the
banks, principally on account of the opera
tion of the system of computation by dally
averages. But the skepticism which found
expression over today"a statement was un
usually frank and general, owing to the ex
treme variation from the estimated result.
The known movements of money for the week
' promised a decline In the cash reserve of more
than 50,000,000. The bank statement, on the
contrary. Indicates an increase of 51,522,300,
The extraordinary requirements of the week
for syndicate payments, quarterly settlements
and the New York tax payments to be made
Monday promised an unusually heavy demand
for credits. The loan Item ot the bank state
ment, on the contrary, shows a contraction ot
$4,810,300. The net result Is to expand the
margin of the surplus by $2,204,075. Expert
authorities are entirely at a loss to find any
explanation for these discrepancies.
In the matter of the cash Item, it Is sug
seated that the gold engagements for im
port may have been made to figure In that
Item on the supply being secured abroad with
out waitlng.for the receipt of the actual metal.
It Is said that this is the custom of the
Bank of France and some other foreign bonks.
Last night's steamer from England brought
$2,250,000 in gold, which would figure norm'
ally in tho bank statement next week. Con'
fusion In the loon Item after great transac'
tions is explicable when the period ot settle
ment comes In the middle of the week, owing
to the working of the average system. But
with the settlement at tho end of the week.
tho full effect of the loan operations would
be expected to bo reflected in tho bank state
ment.
The speculative operators In stocks accepted
the statement at its Xaoe value. Feeling
emong them was confident also that the max-
lraum effect of the October 1 settlements was
shown in yesterday's money market, and that
easier conditions will be felt next week. The
heavy adjustments made wcro reflected in the
day's record ot clearing-house balances, which
amounted to $33,095,573, exceeding the great
est previous record by more than $3,000,000,
Yesterday's increase in the Hallway Steel
Spring dividend stimulated a number of low
priced industrials. The principal movement
otherwise was that in the Reading stocks. To
tal sales of bonds, par value. $1,145,000.
The volume of dealings in stocks this week
has shown a. shrinkage from day to day
under tho restraining Influence of diminish
ing supplies In the money market. A mod
erate effect was produced In prices, but the
decline was not steadily pursued and strength
from time to time in special stocks served as
a sustaining Influence on the general lift.
The factors in the money market were so ac
curately known and the effect so early forest-en
that there has seemed no room for ig
noring them, and their development has not
uncovered any weak position up to this tlmo.-
The feci Stir has been prevalent that the spe
cial demands met this week in the money
market were of a kind" which would be ..tem
porary in their Effect, and the hope .has been
held out that the supplies accumulated for
meeting great syndicate transactions would
flow back quickly into 'the money market with
the conclusion of those .transactions.
The payments of subscriptions to the Penn
sylvania and Atchison convertible bond is
sues have been the special operations making
the largest demands which are to be met to
day, and an extensive shifting of loans has
gone on during tho week in preparation for
these payments and for the October 1 quar
terly settlements, which are unusually large.
Aside from these special requirements, de
mands on bank reserves have continued large,
with every prospect of persisting for some time.
The course of money rates has been upward
throughout the world's money centers -and
some further large credit requirements aro
to be met by the New York money market in
the Immediate future. The future of the
money market is therefore by no means clear,
racks. $5.10; 10 lbs. best do granulated sugar;
Tho admonition to caution in the use of
credits in the stock market speculation was
of a force that had to be heeded and was
effective with the rise in money rates to the
highest level of the season. The advance of
a full 1 per cent in the Bank of England
official discount rate to 4 per cent -was a
proclamation, of the shrinkage of banking
resources and of the necessity for retrench
ment. That rate has not been touched by
the Bank of England for over two years and
has only been exceeded a few times in many
years past in times of special stress. A pol
icy of recuperation is thus clearly foreshad
owed, which had its immediate effect on the
continental exchanges of Europe.
The problem of New York's ability to draw
further gold from Europe for Its own relief
is thus made Immediately prominent. Par
cels of gold engaged last week in London
bavo arrived from time to time and have
gone into New York bank reserves and an
additional $1,800,000 was secured early in
the week to arrive next week.
The forthcomlnR Russian loan has come up
for renewed consideration and reports have
stated the. intended amount to be $175 000 -000
to be apportioned to Berlin and Paris.
It is the general expectation that there will
be a New York participation in the sub
scriptions also.
Foreign exchange rates in" New York went
higher under the influence of hardening for
eign money markets. Some of the exchange
transactions were attributed to a demand
from short interests to cover sales made
against earlier borrowings abroad and
against the imports of gold. There has been
complaint of a scarcity of grain and cotton
bills, the foreign demand for cotton having
le.ncH.rtaI,ed b the epeculatlx-e level to
which the price of that -commodity had been
11Jed'il. The b"ak in the cotton market
after the middle of the week brought some
revival of foreign buying and tho foreign
exchange rate was affected by that and the
rise in our money rate.
The -ub-treasury is taking very large sums
from the New York money market, princi
pally in the form of customs pavments,
which the large importations of merchandise
make unusually heavy. The resumption of
Government refunding operations announced
on "Wednesday is calculated to offer only a
slight relief to the drain of revenue pay
ments. Heavy currency shipments from
Chicago to the agricultural sections have
been resumed and the rlso of the New York
exchange rate at Chicago gives warning of
a corresponding demand on New York from
that point- Next week the payment of New
York taxes will call for many millions of
dollars and previous experience shows that
this Is not without effect on the money
market. Beyond the Japanese loan subscription on
October 10. which It i estimated will call
for some $30,000,000. the conviction has
grown up that nothing like an early return
of easo In the money market is to be looked
for and speculators dread the possibility of
flurries In the call money market such as
almost invariably brings a spilling out of
stocks in hasty liquidation.
The consideration of the money outlook
has been to the practical exclusion of all
others In the stock market. . The undevlating
character of reports of business. Industrial
and agricultural prosperity, however, has
been an underlying Influence and has consti
tuted a passive power of resistance to the
depressing influence of the growing constric
tion of the money market.
Bonds have been dull and only slightly af
fected by ihe heavy tone of stocks. United
States old 4s advanced 7 8 per cent, while
the 2s declined and the 4s "i per cent
on call on the week. 1 ceni

Chlcauo- Slight Reaction
la Barley.
SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. SO. Special.)
Principal Interest among California cured fruit
dealeis is in forwarding goods bought by
Easterners early in the season. No material
change In values is noted this week, but hold
ers of peaches, apricots and pears not only
are very firm, but many have withdrawn and
are not urging business. California evap
orated apples are strong and cent higher.
Holders of prunes are generally firm and
offering lightly, anticipating higher prices in
the near future. The raUin-growers com
bine has not made an announcement on raisin
prices other than on bleached Thompson's and
Sultanas as put out two weeks ago.
New almonds and walnuts are moderately
active at the established prices.
Local speculative values for wheat reached
a lower level, influenced by the further de
sllne In Chicago, and the cash market was
easy on large arrivals of Northern grain.
December barley had a small reaction from
yesterday's marked advance, but spot re
mained firm on the filling of milling and ship
ping orders. Other cereals were unchanged.
The Hebrew holiday restricted trade in fruits
and other products. The apple market was
easier under a large accumulation of stocks.
Table grapes are coming in freely, owing to
the threatened rains, and prices are easy.
Lemons are very weak.
Potatoes are dull and dragging. Onions are
Keady.
Butter and cheese are firm. Eggs are top-
heavy. The meeting of the new dairy ex
change wan called for Monday. Receipts,
53,500 pounds butter, 18,600 pounds cheese,
22.980 dozen eggs.

GROWTH OFRESERVE
New York Banks Now Have
Satisfactory Surplus.
SHOWN BY WEEKLY REPORT
c
Preliminary Estimates Indicated a
Heavy. Ioss or Cash Decrease
. in .Loans Much Less
Than Expected.
NEW YORK, Sept. SO. .The Financier this
iveck says;
The official statement of the Nevr York As
sociated Banks last -creek again dlssappointed
exoectatlons. It showed an increase in cash
reserve Instead of an Important loss, as vras
Indicated by the preliminary estimates, which
were based upon traceable movements ot
money during the week; this exhibit vtras quite
remarkable. The statement disclosed a de
crease In loans, though much below that which
was regarded as likely, considering the opera
tions la the stock market durlne the week.
The rroqrve requirements were reduced through
a deereaae In deposits, so that the surplus re
serve was augmented by an amount sufficient
to restore this item very near, to that which
was reported at the end of August; now the
banks have what may be regarded as a sat
isfactory surplus for -the season.
The small decrease of ft.S10.200 in loans was
probably due to tho fact that the cancella
tions early In the week were nearly offset by
the heavy loans which "were made by some of
the lancer banks after Thursday because ot
the extremely high rates- ruling for money on
call. The gain of $1,522,300 In cash cannot
be reasonably accounted for; the lom as shown
by the traceable movement waa more than
$8,000,000. to the sub-treasury alone, and near
ly $2,000,000 to the interior, while the off
sets 'through r,:w gold and Imports Irom
London were not sufficient materially to reduce
the total.

Forestry Club Revels in
Outings at the Fair.
Portland; Sept. so. (To the Editor.)
The Forestry Club has, since June,
held Its meetings In the Exposition
grounds. Those warm, bright days, so full
of Interest, are delightful memories to
those who have attended. The club makes
a day of It and takes a picnic lunch, cither
under the trees or upstairs In tho Ad
ministration restaurant, where it can have
coffee and a table which overlooks the
grounds.
The July meeting was held on Govern
ment Island, where the class examined
the finished woods of the Philippines, went
through the Fisheries exhibits, heard tho
Illustrated lecturo on Yellowstone Park,
witnessed the drill of the life-saving crew
and returned over the Bridge of Nations
to our own Forestry building. "Which
evor way tho path lies the club always
comes to the Forestry building. It dares
to hope that Oregon will never allow to
pass out of her hands so grand a memo
rial of the time when "there were giants
In the land."
Tho August meeting was In the histor
ical rooms of the Oregon building. George
H. Hlmec read a paper on "The Forestry
Laws of Oregon" (by the way, we have
but one), as compared with those of other
stai2s. The club made a special study of
the woods of Coos County, and afterward
by Invitation visited the gracious host
esses of the Idaho building.

tho graceful decorations of ' tho room.

we faced about to Ilnd a heretofore closed
door open, disclosing a tea-table set and
the County Treasurer of an Idaho County
poured tea for us from a silver urn, and
asked anxiously, "Do you think I nave
unsexed myself by voting?"
One o! our most pleasant days was two
weeks ago, when the time was given to
the study cf art.
The club met In the Oregon building.
and after lunch in. the Administration res
taurant spent tho greater part of the aft
ernoon In the Art Gallery, where the mem
bers contrasted the old style of painting,
with Its almost painful attention to de
tail, with the new style, with its wealth of
light and color. They gazed long on the
ever-widening horizon of "Summer
Clouds." They longed to touch and caress
the silvery sheen of a baby's hair, and to
own the statuettes in bronze and marble.
Coming out. the light of the dear old tace
in "Adoration" fell upon us like one we
usyl to know.
he club went from hero to the Forcstry

Roosevelt's favorite. "The Sacred "Wom

the gracious character which. It Is said,
would grace the White House Itself; the
little "Indian Maid," wild and beautiful
as a deer; a little burro with muftled fig

evening and termed "The Flight Into
Egypt , and the strong, intellectual face
of a chief who might have been a Roman
Senator, and which Frederick "Ward says
gives him Inspiration: these and many
more are part of the great west to which
wo all belong.
From there It was a long step to the
village of the Igorrotes, with their primi
tive weaving. The lithe, bronze figures of
the young boys at their games were full of
artistic poses and the dancing light that
shone In their eyes is the same that shines
in every boy's eyes the world over when:
he breathes deep and life Is a Joy. The

have been permitted to see a picture that
has been for the last six years in th
vaults of a deposit and trust compnnv hi
New York City, there Is the belief that I:

later In the sncklng of Rome by the Sper

sailor who lived near New Orleans. 1

of his descendants, on dying, gave It ti
an old negro woman who cut tho ennva

About thirty-five years ago Jamc

and took the picture In payment. He had ,
the canvas cleaned and varlshed but as
the work was done by an amateur tho
coloring was almost obliterated. The can

a camera and a powerful lens a photo
graph made of the picture shows clearly
the letters MDXVII. the year In which
Raphael Is known to have painted "The
Last Supper."
