versally acknowledged that within the past dav or
two the short line has been increased rather than
diminished and the continued advance to-day is in
all probability due to the demand for covering short
contracts. which, while it continues is likely to en-
sure higher market value. Aside from speculation
there are many capitalists throughout the whole
country who are willing to buy Erie in the neigh

Clique are entirely out of the stock and, as matter
OF prudence, short contracts should be closed if the
price will admit of such action without loss
