PACIFIC SCARE PASSED
Unlookti . For Rise in Harriman
Group Following Death of Rail
V;'" way1 Magnate Waa Begin- -

'.'.NEW TORK. September 18. The spec
ulative demand for securities expanded
and broadened materially last week and
carried prices comprehensively up and
snakms- record . prices for some of the
most active ' speculative mediums. The
motive for the revived activity ostensibly
was the renewed confidence In the growth
of business witn the results to be snown
In the Increased profits of corporations
and enlarged disbursements in the form
of dividends. The movement owed much
-i the- supposition which was general In
the financial district mat more occuii
forces were at work growing out of agree-
ments between great banking powers
looking to the hannonlsatlon of vexed
problems and their removal as possible
sources of friction and antagonism. '
While explicit' Information on this topic
was not- to be had there was obvious
willingness on the part of some of the
representatives involved to roster tne oe-
lief In inch u adjustment. In both of
the last formal statements coming from
the late E. H. Harriman before his death
there were references to the Interest
shown tn his condition by friends "and
others." and attempts to run his proper-
lies during his absence In Europe which
bore a strong flavor of resentment.
-: UNION PACIFIC SCARE PASSED.
Information emanating from the Amer-
ican . Bankers convention alleged tha
mlsoarrlag of a plan for the reorganisa-
tion of the: finances of the Union Pacific
and the segregation of Its Investment as-
sets through the furtive formation of a
stock market pool in the securities of the
company.- which prompted Mr. Harriman
on his return from Europe to repudiate
the plan. There has been some dread that
aa open breach would result among the
Insiders In the property and that the Integrity-
of the market pool in United
awtea Steel would also be endangered by
tha hostile measures likely to develop.
It was relief from this apprehension that
had much to do with the buoyant recov-
ery of securities last week tn face of a
depletion of the money market that would
have checked such a speculative outbreak
under ordinary circumstances.
The announcement made by Kuhn
Loeb A Co. on the day following Mr.
Ha rri man's death that they were acting
in unison with the National City bank
d other Interests in the Union Pacific
gave the first check to anxiety In this
matter. It was renewed to some extent
at the opening of last week by .the fail-
ure to elect J. P. Morgan Jr. on the
Union Pacific board aa had been rumor-
ed would be done. The return of enor-
mous blocks' of Union Pacific following
the closing of the books of the company
nlch had been borrowed for the pur-
poses of representation at the Union Pa-
cific annual meeting figured aa an addl-
tolnal cause of uneasiness in the sharp
hreak In prtoes which occurred at the
opening of the week.
In this mood much Importance was at-
tached to the election of the junior Mor-
an as a director of the National City
-ank and of Chairman James BtllLman of
that bank as a director of the Cleveland
Cincinnati Chicago and St. Louis rail-
road. Tha fact that one Morgan partner
already is en the Natlonl City bank board
and that James Stlilman has long been
a member of the board of the New York
Central lines set the financial world free
from the restraint of these fears of quar-
rels amongst . financiers and from the
long dread of .shock .to follow the passing
of Mr Haniman with the sequel that the
stock market showed extraordinary resil-
iency. United States Steel managed oy
long strides to reach far above Its normal
records. The hopeful tone of President
Taft'e utterances when setting out on his
long trip set an official seal on the con-
fidence prevailing and his words were
construed also as. pledges of exemption
from all legitimate enterprise from gov-
ernment embarrassment.
HEAVY DRAIN ON BANKS' RESERVE.
The money market outlook was not
calculated to foster speculation the fur-
ther heavy drain on the cash of the banks
threatening the extinction of the surplus
reserve before the' week waa half over.
The rise of New Tork exchange at Chi-
cago to par and the depression of the
foreign exchange rate in New Tork under
the placing of bills against bankers' bor-
rowings from foreign money markets
showed the line that replacement of cred-
its was taking.
The activity of the time money market
in New York carried interest rates to a
higher level than baa been touched since
the business revival sot in and larger of-
ferings of mercantile paper raised the
rate for that form of credits. So far the
rate for call loans which were establish-
ed has been touched before In that raar-
ke!.Y"rut not sustained.
This Russian and Egyptian demands for
gold threatens to complicate the money
situation on the foreign exchange side.
Discounts are rising abroad as well as
here.
