Proposed Union Of Western Union
Telegraph.
AND THE AMERICAN BELL TELE-
PHONE COMPANIES.
The Two Would Form An Almost I'm
pregnab1e Monopoly-Dea1 May Be
Aimed At Postal Or That May Be
Included.

Boston, August 21.-The Boston Com
meroial Bulletin will say tomorrow re-
garding tho Western Union and Bell
telephone:
"We understand upon the best autho-
rity that the Western Union Telegraph
Company at the present moment controls
the American Bell Telephone Company.
The Importance of suoh a control will at
once appear to every one who appreciates
how the two have come in competition
during recent years.
'The Western Union dividends had
become threatened through the oompe-
tition of the Bell Company andso the
Postal Telegraph Company. but it has
long been full arranged plan for the
Western Union to secure control of the
Telephone Company.
The two together can probably make
1t very warm for the Postal Telegraph
Company or the final outcome may be
the combination of all three. Mr.. j..
Pierpont Morgan has been the largest
purchaser of Bell Telephone stock at
auction here, but the manner of purchase
has been very cleverly concealed.
Western Union stock has rulod weak
on the New York Stock Exchange during
the past few days, but this weakness is
thought to be part of the programme of
those conducting this gigantic deal.
"The combination of these two compa-
nies will mean an almosr impregnahle
monopoly Of both the telegraph and tele-
phone business in the same hands,"

CLOSING QUOTATION
FRIDAY. May Is.

NINA Y = way ~
London operators were evidently disappointed
this morning because the market failed to re-
spond to recent moderate buying from that
centre. Foreign arbitrage houses bought stocks
here yesterday afternoon. with the expectation
that London would absorb them this morning.
1t showed no disposition to do so. but. on tho
contrary. SOLD a few thousand shares. This had
a discouraging effect upon local operators, who
were also induced to sell by estimates pub
lished this morning that q majority of tho
delegates to the st. Louis Convention have been
Instructed to vote for Mr.. Mckinley. Advices
from abroad were that the strength developed
by a Presidential candidate who Ia at least I'M
certain upon the most important financial ques-
tion or the day. is responsible for the change In
sentiment regarding American securities In the
face of an improvement In other departments
on the London Stock Exchange, resulting from
an improvement in the South African situation.
Gold to the amount OF 81. 900. 900 was with
drawn from the Sub-Treasury for export to-
morrow. The fact that to-morrow's shipment
Of specie will be only half as large as had gen.
orally been expected had practically no effect
upon the very limited speculation. The only
other financial development OF note was a call
by the Treasury upon the special deposltary
banks, holding a part of the proceeds OF the
last Government bond sale. for half Of the
81, 000, 900 Of deposits remaining with them.
OF specific news affecting stock values the
quarterly report Of the Manhattan Railway
Company. printed further on in this column,
was the most effective, resulting in a net loss in
tho price of the stock of 21s o cent. Other
stocks that sustained noteworthy net declines
were Consolidated Gas. Sugar Refining. Ten
nessee Coal and Iron. and American Tobacco.
