Meeting trains on the Canadian Pacific are
run forty miles further west than they were
before the food. The road has been extended
to Flat creek, forty miles beyond Brandon.
| The purchase of the Minneapolis & St..
Louis road by the Rock Island and Omaha

in the stock. Prior to the sale the Minneapolis

common and 60 for preferred. Yesterday it
closed at 26 and sc bid, and none offered at
any price. There have been private affors
made in st. Paul for round lots of this stock
at 80 and 70, but they were refused. 1t is
understood that the Minneapolis & st. LOUIS
stock will soon be exchanged for Omaha,
which now stands at 80 for common and 1O2
for preferred.
