United States Great Britain and Holland are bulling
Erie orders to buy poured into the Stock Exchange
from the leading cities in these countries.
A satisfactory explanation of the advance is the
three-csrnered fight now going on to obtain posses
sion of the road. The action of the Legislature in
passing the Repeal bill with its provisions indicated
the weakness Of the Atlantic & Great Western party
without stock, and compelled their English adherents
to purchase in all the markets, carrying up the price
to AIT to-day, and causing sharp advance in London.
12.45 P. M.-The official statement of Erie shows
that the earnings of the road from October l. 1871 to
March l. 1872 at the rate of S22 900 900 per
