The Apache Corporation, based in Houston, said yesterday that it wanted to buy all 300 oilfields that Texaco Inc. put on the market on Tuesday, assuming the price was right. The chairman of Apache, Raymond Plank, declined to say what he considered the "right" price to be. Mr. Plank said his interest came with a condition: Apache will not participate in an auction and wants to negotiate the purchase with Texaco officials alone. Texaco said it planned to divest half its 600 United States oilfields and slash its payroll to cut costs. A spokeswoman for Texaco, the No. 4 oil company in the country, said yesterday that the company was holding talks about the sale but would not identify the potential buyers. The Texaco fields for sale contain the equivalent of 200 million barrels of oil, enough to nearly double Apache's 1993 reserves of 231 million barrels.

In May, California Federal agreed to sell $350 million worth of performing and delinquent income-producing properties to Argo Partnership L.P., after selling $231 million in assets in April. With the three sales, California Federal has cut its delinquent assets to 2 percent of total assets, which is in line with the industry.

Shares of the TJX Companies -- whose largest business is T.J. Maxx -- fell 13 percent after the company said that it expected to report earnings per share for the second quarter, which ends July 31, to fall as much as 33 percent. In trading on the New York Stock Exchange yesterday, the stock fell $2.875, to $19.125. The company, a retailer of off-price apparel, said it expected net income of 22 cents to 27 cents a share, compared with 33 cents a share for the same period last year, because sales in May and June were lower than expected. Analysts had been expecting the retailer to earn 36 cents a share in the quarter.

The Bell Atlantic Corporation said yesterday that it would employ technology to automatically forward calls to customers in all of its cellular service areas. The technology links non-wire-line cellular systems with wire-line cellular systems, which operate on different radio frequencies. Bell Atlantic is the wire-line operator in markets within its five-state service area. It also owns non-wire-line cellular franchises in other markets throughout the East Coast and Southwest. Using the new technology, customers will be able to receive calls in any of the markets in 15 states covered by Bell Atlantic Mobile service. Under existing technology, callers have to enter a special code and know exactly where the recipient is to connect a call. Bell Atlantic last week announced plans to merge its Bell Atlantic Mobile unit with the cellular unit of the Nynex Corporation.
