A New York special to the Chicago Tri.
bune, under date of August Is. apropos of
| the recent advance in the price of the stock of
| railway company at the stock exchange gays
| of the rumors that the road had been leased
to the Chicago & Northwestern railway COM
| pany: "It was reported that the latter was
| to guarantee dividends of z and per cent res
pectively on the preferred and common stocks
OF the former. This rumor could not be con-
| frmed to day. M. L. Sykes, president of the
Northwestern company, said he knew nothing
of the alleged lease. He enjoyed the same
blessed ignorance which he had when the re-
ports of scrip dividends to be declared by the
company were circulated. At the Office of
the Omaha company A. r. Flower, its vi.e
| president, stated that so far as he knew the
| lease had not been made. No outside directors
| of either company are in town at present."
