The stock speculation is fast degenerating into
mere game of cross purposes played by two or three
large operators wherein the average traders are the
pawns, and the stakes involved such prestige as
may be secured by the one party beating the other
in the mastery Of the market. The events OF to-
day, however, may give to the market more de-
cided character. The announcement from Hart
ford that the directors of the Ncw-York. New
Haven and Hartford Railway Company have de-
cided to borrow many millions of dollars to do that
which should have been done ont of earnings

which they received were paid only after the ex-
penditure of such sums were necessary TO mann
tain the road and equipment in all respects at
high standard Of efficiency The transfer OF the
controlling interest in the New-YOrk Chicago and
ST. Louis Railroad by the promoters OF the scheme
to some new interest is an important event. aud one
