Beals, Section Director, United States Weather Bureau, for the Oregon Crop Bulletin for the week ended BSeptember 30, is as follows: The past week was cool, with several good rains in the western section of the State. In the the esstern section the rainfall was light and badly distributed. Frosts occurred on several mornings, but they did no injury of conse- quence. The grain crop is being rapidly hauled to the warehouses and it is mow practically all threshed. Hop picking is finished and the crop, although lighter than expected earlier in the season. is a good one, and of excellent quality. Prune drying is in active progress, with variable yields, which are generally re- ported as light. The rains have started a new growth of grass | and fall pasturage is rapidly improving. Range stock, as a rule, are not in as good condition @s usual at this season of the year. Potato digging has begun and the tubers, while not large, are generally of good_guality; the yield will be below the average. Late potatoes have been greatly benefited by the recent rains. Corp and apples are the principal crops yet to be harvested. Corn was injured by the frosts of last week, but this week the weather was more favorable and it is probable very nearly an average crop will be secured. More rain is needed for fail jowing and for fall seeding on summer-fal- lowed land Weather Report. (120th Meridian—Pacific Time.) EAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 3—5 p. m. g e Y.y 3 Es38<z ¢ € STATIONS.

NEW YORK, Oct. 8.—The principal news in to-day's stock market turned out to be un- true, but the false report was effective in br the market and throwing it instant- &y info & state of confusion as great as that & lkst Mondey. The report, which was circu- lated immediately after 2 o'clock, that the Comptroller of the Currency had overruled the Gecision of the Secretary of the Treasury to release cash. reserve heid by the banks sgainst Government deposits offered a -dire prospect to epeculators. Such a decision would throw the money market situation back into as strained & condition ss that which threatened a panic lest Monday. The situation, in- fact, would have been Worse, in that the forces of deple- tion of bank reserves have continued in opera- tion during the week while some advantage has beeh smken in the ioan market of the condi- tions resulting from the Treasurer's measures. To-day especially there was some conspicuous resumption of speculative activity on the part of the various pools. notably that in Colorado Fuel. on the greund that the election ordered by court will settle the question of control of the property; in St. Paul, by the same in- terests which caused its recent advance and in the coslers on the circulation of constant rumors regarding the outcome of the confer- ence at IWashington. The higher level of prices thus attained seemed to aggravate the drop when the canard was put out regarding the alleged action of the Comptroller of the Currency. The fact that the Comptroller was presert and in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury during his visit in New Yorik when his action was. taken was lost sight ef #nd_the speculative public seemed to swallow ihe siory without question. The break in prices ran all the way lmmflyfipfin&lh Abe active stocks. market closed with a violent rally in prwu- caused by the denials of the story.

The Sub-Treasury operations include deposits for transfer to the Interior, except $40,000 to New Orleans and $200,000 to Chicago, which was deposited for that purpose to-day, and aiso the payment of anticipated Government | interest made through the New York Sub. Treasury. The payments of Government inter. est due after October 1 and the application to substitute other than Government bonds 'to release consol 2 per cents for the purpose of additional circulation, seemed to promise little relief to the situation thus far. The heavy demand for exchange to-day for next Tuesday's steamer showed the small prospect of any movement of gold this way for the present. Some $1,575,000 in gold was drawn from the Bank of England to-day for shipment abroad. | The weekly exhibit of the Imperial Bank of Germany shows a loss of over $31,000,000 in £0ld, a loan expansion of over $60,000,000, and an increased note issue of about $75,000,000, thus bearing out the showing of other Euro- pean banks of the heavy requirements upon foreign money markets, The bond market was steady, except for the flurry in the last bour. Total sales, par value, 5,000, United ‘States bonds were all unchanged on the last caH. NEW Stocks— Atchison . Atchison p Bal & Ohio. Bal & Ohio pf Can Pacific Can Southern YORK STOCK LIST. Low.
