Toward the close much better FEELING
prevailed, and the bears showed some
disposition to take their profits. Under
this process an advance of Il to 81
was established with great activity
on the way up. The underlying cause
OF the sharp recovery was a reported

ready alluded to. 1t was currently
stated that the capitalists in question
and two or more prominent banking
houses had agreed to take a certain
amount of bonds to be issued by the
Northern Pacific Company, the pro
ceeds of which will be used In taking up
the floating debt and in providing the
company with means to thoroughly
equip the lines. II was also reported
that n portion of the bonds had been
taken for European account. Still an
other rnmOr current was one to the ef-
feet that Gould and Sage would enter
the Oregon d TransoOntinental direc-
tory. While these rumors could not be
officially confirmed there is apparently
good ground for believing
that a deal in Northern Pacific stock
WAS made, and that purchases
made by leading operators today, were
predicted upon the deal in question in
late trinssction. Northern Pacific
rose to 32l4, preferred to 81; Oregon
franscOntinental to AZ; Northwestern

Nashville to 1874; Lakeshore to 99I6;
