west Point % to 81, st. Louis and San Francisco
preferred IA to 49, The wide fluctuations in Den
yer were occasioned by rumors that number of
prominent railway men who had been offered the
presidency had refused to serve, that a receiver
had been, or would be, applied for, and that n
new issue of stock was contemplated. None of
these reports was authenticated UP to the close of
business In usually well Informed quarters
these reports were entirely discredited, and it
was stated that developments of surprising
nature would be made public in the near future.
