The rise In value Of the wpriced stocks, such
as the Wabash, Hannibal j. st. Joseph, etc.,
was duo In general to the notion Of the Wabash
Directory yesterday in elcctlng Sidney Dillon
thus completing tho full representation Of the
Union Pacific Interest In the Board. The move.
mcnt towards new trunk limo from Toledo
westward has bccn generously used by
tho spectators for their purposes, and
tho CHANCES for pushing up low stocks by this
means ase not set exhausted. The late dcpscs-
sion In Northwestern stocks Is attributed to tho
statement that Gould has sold out his interest
in TINT road, and devoted bis attention to the
organization OF q rival ltnc. He haA associated
with him In this movement tho most active
Of the Union rHcilo Directors, and this
Is understood to mean n diversion VI traffic from
the Northwestern nnd Rock Island to the new
trunk linc. But tho Hannibal s. st. Joe ad-
yauced by reason Of suapfclon that Gould is
buying the stock for tho purpose Of getting Tho
control Of this roud away from tho Chicago,
Burlington j. Quincy, IA to Ohio d Mississippi,
