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.

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:

Party That Engineered the Re

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

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.
The corn strength and support from
packers stimulated the provisions market
and closing prices were from 570 to
2c over yesterday.
