Northern Pacific stock Consolation FOL
Jay Cookies Victims.


Philadelphia Record Of tho 9Th,
Saturday witnessed another dull day for
all the speculativcs, except for the prefer
red stock OF the Northern Pacific Railroad,
which made steady pull upward, in spite
OF the evident desire Of the clique who
have been extensive purchasers to keep it
down. Like BdnqIOS ghost, it will not
down; but. with the persistenCy OF IN
escaped balloon, seeks constantly higher
atmosphere in which to air itself. The
truth is that the road is doing very well;
that the farms along its route have been
producing enormous yields; that many
large farmers have more than paid the
original cost OF their fields from the pro-
fits on single years crop, and that the
old road is entirely free from debt OF any
kind. The preferred stock represents
what were originally first mortgage bonds,
and which soldreadily in the early history
OF the road at 10 and accrued in
terest. 1t is claimed by the friends
OF the road that the preferred stock, the
par value OF the shares Of which is 500,
is worth at the present day quite as much
us the bonds ever were; that it is earning a
large dividend, and that it must be paid
within short time, Another important
factor in causing the advance in the pric e
Of the stock is the large sales made OF lands
from the land grants OF the company.
Every purchaser has the right to pay for
his land in preferred stock at par, and AS
some S6,0OO,00O ofground is to be paid for
that has been already sold it will doubtless
create u large demand for the stock us
long as it remains under 500 per share.
1t opened on Saturday ut 43l, advanced
rapidly and closed when the Board closed
at 44!, but during the afternoon lively
demand sprang up for it, and it sold on the
street up to Isl, closing late with 45i bid.
The record transactions amount to 800

great increase is attributable in part to &C.
tive speculation in cotton, grain and
stocks, the greatest gain at other cities is
where the wholesale trade OF the country
is mainly conducted. Exclusive Of specu,
latiou OF all kinds, the volume Of legiti.
mate business in the strictest sense must
have been larger by nearly or quite one
quarter during May, 1879, than during the
corresponding month OF last year, The
increase, too, appears in almost all the
cities, though varying in degree quite
widely. The business greatly exceeds
that OF any May since the panic OF 1873,
