Newspaper Page TextRUMDRSDFGOHNER Interesting Developments in Canned Tomato Trade. MARKET IS VERY STRONG Pack Will Be Far Under That of Last Year Quiet Week In Local Fruit Trade Fine Qual ity of Hops. The -rrocery trade tha country over Is interested In a rumor in circulation to the effect that a corner Is being; worked on the Maryland tomato pack. Whether or not such a move la on foot cannot be told now. It Is more than probable that the story found Its .origin In the bullish conditions existing- in the canned tomato market, which would make such a deal. In all probability, a profitable one. That the market Is a strong one cannot be denied and that the crop condition Is serious Is daily becoming more evident. Eastern buyers are ready to say that the total pack In the Southern sections will fall at least 8!l per cent below that of a year ago. The impression formed gives a prob able pack for the whole country this year of not to exceed S.300.000 cases on a conservative guess. . It Is held that with a practical clean-up of a pack last year of close to 14.000,000 cases, there is no doubt that a 9.000,000 to 10.000,000 case pack this year will go out to buyers at higher figures than now rule. It is held also that the large pack last year went into consumption In a period of the greatest business depression this coun try has ever known, and thatf this year with business conditions on the mend there is no doubt of a higher market on the product. In their regular weekly circular Strasbaugh, Silver & Co.. of Aberdeen, Md.. size up the Maryland tomato sit uation in this wise: Unfavorable, cool weather continues. Nights are unusually cool and the tem perature aproaches the frost line with a dangerous nearness every night. Many vines are void of leaves, others have abundant leaves, but few green tomatoes, and red tomatoes are scarce to such a degree that the packers are bidding and overbidding each other. Notwithstanding the light sale of fu tures, many packers are not up with their future orders. Nineteen out of 10 packers have cans for sale, al though they bought conservatively, and a most serious question with a majority of them at the present mo ment Is, will they fill all the cans that they have boughtf Will they fill their future orders? No factories are run ning over half a day at a time and "many do not average 20 hours In a week. A prominent Chicago broker writes with reference to conditions In the West: "It is our honest opinion that the crop will be from 0 to 7S per cent short of the estimated pack, taking Into consideration the amount of acre age. Jobbers in Chicago are buying more freely, aa they are beginning to realise that on account of tha drouth the pack will be short." , . QUALITY OF ORKOOJi HOPS SrFERIOR. Crop Is Light and farmers Getting Flrmer Eight-Cent Offers Rejected. Hops are being received In consider able numbers at the local hop offices and without exception they are of al most perfect quality. The fact that . Oregon has this year raised a super ior crop becomes more evident every day and when the samples reach the Eastern and foreign dealers they are sure to create a favorable Impression. It Is also evident from the picking and baling returns received that the crop in size will fall under the esti mates made but a short time ago. The figures generally accepted now are 80, 000 to 85.000 bales for Oregon. Cal ifornia estimates are also being low ered. Philip Wolf A Co.. of San Fran cisco, wired Klaber Wolf & Netter yesterday that they had reduced their California estimate to 65.000 bales. The Washington crop Is too small to cut much figure In general statistics. Even up in British Columbia the yield has been very disappointing, a report from that section stating that the Horst yards would have but 1000 bales, as compared with 3000 bales last year. The Oregon market Is still Inactive, but some business is looked for In the coming week. The attitude of growers la changing significantly. the dis couragement of a short time aro giv ing way to a feeling of bullishness. A local dealer yesterday made offers of 8 cents with a large cash deposit, but was turned down. AL.Ii GRAIN MARKETS ARE O.CLET. Wheac Stenr and Oars and Barley Weaker at Board of Trade.

The past weeto was a most unsatisfac tory one In the local fruit market. The receipts, while hot the heaviest of the year, were still Very large. The demand, however, fell off materially, showing that consumers had practically supplied their wants, especially In the canning line. In the preceding week. It was. therefore, with great difficulty that Jobbers moved their stocks and a vigorous cutting of prices was necessary. The short day yesterday was not differ ent from the other days of the week.

Trout Company Dealings. 11 NEW YORK, Sept. 10. Tha Financial will say: The statement of the Associated Banks of New York City for the week end ing September 19. waa different in some details from what had been anticipated, tha reserve on deposit showing a slight gain of $20.75-0 Instead of a decrease, a had been foreshadowed. The increase in surplus re serve was not brought about by gains, for the banks lost during the week, according to tha statement based on actual conditions, the sum of $3,551,500 in specie and legal tenders, thla decrease being traceable, of course, to the movement of money to the interior for crop-moving purposes and also to renewed shipments to Canada and else where. The gain in surplus reserve waa really brought about by the reduction of $14,289,000 in deposits, which lessened re serve requirements by a sum greater than the loss reported In cash. There was a de crease of $12,120,300 nl loans, occasioned probably by the liquidation which was evi dent throughout the week In the stock mar ket and the contraction of Joans explains the corresponding decrease In deposits. It is interesting in this connection to note that the trust companies of New York not con nected with the clearing-house reported for the week an Increase of S7,2S5.10 in loans and an Increase of $7,2)9,200 in deposit. It seems that the new commitments for the week were undertaken plainly by trust com panies. Since the beginning of the year, the associated banks of New York City have expanded their loans about $200,000000, their deposits about $360.0,000 and their surplus reserve between $55,000,000 and $60,000,000. The statement of averages ot the clearing-house banka for the week shows that the banks hold ?-30. 2 IS. 525 more than the requirement of the 25 per cent reserve rule. This Is a decrease of $1,774,300 In the proportionate cash reserve, as compared with last week. The statement follows: Decrease. Loans $1,818,852,200 $4,677,700 Deposits 1,412.563,500 - 7,478.400 Circulation M.441.8.K) 51,500 Legal tenders ....... 7,W4.5oO ' 832r20t Specie 82:.6H4.yO0 2.S1 2.700 Reserve 4i3.359.40 3.648,900 Reserve required ... 35.1,140.875 1.874.600 Surplus flo.218,525 J.774.3O0 Kx-U. 8. deposits... 62.547,700 1,610.850 The percentage of actual reserve of the clearing-house bank at the close of busi ness yesterday waa 28-. 7ft.

TRADERS ARE SUSPICIOUS distribution bjr th Speculative Party That Engineered the Re cent Advance Politics Plays Important Part. NEW YORK. Sept. 19. Stocka failed to hold the recorery which was enjoyed yes terday, although there waa some early ex tension of the rtcorery today. Later in the session the most active and prominent st6cka old at the lowest pTlcee of the week. The Tiolent relays waa due to renewed suspicion that atocka were being- distributed bv the powerful speculative party that haa been credited with the practical control of the market for weeks past. The aelllng waa In full force when the market closed and at the loweat prlcea of the week. The ''political scare," which haa been as cribed as a factor In the market ever since lha Maine election result became known last Tuesday, came into full discus sion. The disclosures pointing to th meas ures taken In the past on behalf of the Standard Oil Company officials to influence political and leclslatlvs action in the inter est of that corporation were regarded with apprehension in the financial district, as threatening- to turn the campaign discussion and influence Into those channels. The specu lative sentiment showed itself sensitive to the threat of Inflaming- public opinion again In the direction of hostility toward corpor attms. - The mercantile agency reviews, empha sizing the moderate pace ot the progress making towards recovery In commercial af fairs, served to enforce the feeling; of re serve toward the malntenahc of prlcea of securities at a level based on earlier san guine expectations of the rate ot this re covery. Bonds were Arm. Total sales, par vaiue, $1)40.000. United States 2s have advanced b and the 4s per cent on call during the week. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing bales, u xh. Low. Sales. High.

At the opening the market gavtf no promise or its higher aspect, prices 'being off fractionally on the heavy arrivals In the Northwest ana at Winnipeg and th.a good weRther. Later, nowever, Canada discovered that her cll- matie conditions were unsettled and Liver pool failed to follow the decline on this side yesterday. Trailers, In consequence, turned their attention to the export situa tion and found that it was good, lt was re ported that all offerings from the seaboard. Kansas City and Duluth, aggregating 1,800, 000 bushels over night, had been tak?n abroad. Under this stimulus prlcea started upward and passed previous high marks. Added biill fervor came from cholera reports from Russia. It was calculated that Ger many and the Mediterranean ports might have to close their wharves to Russian wheat to avoid the epidemic. The South west contributed a mite of bullish news by warning the trade that dry weather would restrict the area of Winter wheat seeded this Fall. Incidentally It was noted that primary receipts for the week broke all previous records by S. 000, 000 bushels, but the bears were unable to make this factor a tilling one. Fin. weather for the maturing crop and more raiding of the September delivery de pressed corn prices at the outset, but shorts covered by the wheat bulge and the coarser cereals closed firm, with December up o. The cash market was firm. The oats market was a quiet affair, over shadowed by the corn and wheat pits. Prices worked higher In sympathy with the other grains, December closing c up.
