The Commercial Advertiser says: The re-
port that large transfer of Montreal Tele-
graph stock has been made to Wilson g.
Hunt, of this city, as director of the West
ern Union Telegraph compony, is ridiculed at
the general offices of the latter company. By
the tone of articles in Montreal paper the
officials of the Western Union Telegraph COM
pany believe the rumors have been started for
stock jobbing purposes. Quotations in the
same papers show an advance in prices. The
consolidated companies have contracts with
Montreal and Dominion telegraph companies
and work under them.
