New YoRK, May 1S.-The stock mar
ket opened with a moderate volume Ct
BUSHES Oregon Transcontinental went
up one-half per cent. The squeeze OF the
shorts in that stock still kept the chief
interest in it, and Immediately after the
opening it began to rise rapidly, and
touched So, an advance OF 20 per cent.
from last evenings price. From this
there was a recession even more rapid
than the advance, and the starting point
was reached on the back track in less
than ten minutee. At the highest figure
there was a food of stock offered, and
the price dropped, 5 per cent. at a time,
to 40.
1t later sold at 80, but there was a de-
mand for many thousand shares at that
figure, and it quickly moved back to 43,
and at the close sold at AZ.
The unlooked-for discovery of a big
short interest in Oregon Transcontinental
made the brokers anxious about short
accounts in other stocks, and fears were
everywhere expressed that the entire
market was heavily oversold. This
feeling was increased by the course of st.
Paul preferred, which advanced per
cent. on the attempt to cover short stock.
The buying fever extended to the
lAtchison and orders to cover the shorts
in that stock caused it to advance
sharply, Burlington moved per cent
Rock Island followed. The entire bear
contingent left the street anxious about
the future, and they will wait for Mon
days opening with fear and trembling.
New YORK, May 1S-At Wizards
office everything appeared to be quiet
to-day in marked contrast to the excite
ment at the Stock Exchange. Willard
explained that the excitement on the
street was an outside matter with which
Willard had nothing to do. The fight
for the control of the stock at the election
is over and Willard has POI 700 shares
out of total of 100000.
He said that there would be nothing
new in the affairs OF the company until
the election at Portland, Oregon, in June.
The other party, to which belong Elijah
Smith, sydney Dillon, Frederick L.
Ames and other well known men, claim
they hold majority of the stock, that
Willard cannot: possibly vote POI, 700
shares unless he has issued some of the
remaining $10,000,000 of treasury stock
in spite OF the injunction.
The opposition issued joint call for
proxies this morning. 1t states that
their policy will be in favor of an AMIGA
BILE arrangement with the Northern
Pacific, st. Paul, Minneapolis and Man
itobs, and Union Pacific roads, including
its connecting line, the Oregon Railway
and Navigation Company.
The Euening Post says the corner was
undoubtedly brought about unintention-
ally. Primarily the contest for control of
the property is responsible for it. Many
of the biggest houses in the street
thought that when the buying for con-
troll was over the price would fall back,
and they considered selling it for deliv-
cry after the closing of the books
safe speculation. This is what they did,
and they now find that all floating stock
has been bought for election purposes
and the owners of it do not intend to
part with it. The shorts, in fact, COR
nered themselves.

man occupied the other end OF the same seat.

man, therefore, with an apology to the earl,
roSo and closed 'hc window. The earl, re-
marking that they must have ventilation,
and that the archdeacon could sit on the other
side. opened the window again. Upon this
the young man changed places with the arch
deacon, and again put the window up. The
earl prudently collapsed. IL subsequently
