RAILROAD MATTERS.

THE ADVANCE OF EASTERN STOCK.
The bull movements in Eastern were Civ
en- rsaiday. But, in fairness, it should be stat
ed that there is also strong bear feeling on
the stock. Those who siiiink it selling too
high have no faith in the success Of any leg
islative measure designed to allow the sepli-
cation of net earnings to the stock, and even
granting that this can be done, they cannot
reconcile themselves to the fact that pros
pective per cent stock should overtop by
nearly seven points a security like Atchison,
which has paid per cent. for years. They
also proclaim that the advance in Eastern
from the neighborhood of 40 has been caused
by the attempts Of Boston & Maine people t! to
secure controlling interest In the stock,
and predict that when this has been done
the minor holders of Eastern will be frozen
out, and consolidation of the two roads
made on terms favoring the alleged specula-
tors. All this, however, is mere gossip, and
must be taken with plenty of salt.
