cepting East River, in which there appeared
TO DO n good deal of profit taking. The
street Is more strongly convinced than ever
thnt the gas companies of this city nro about to
make an alliance OF some kind that will
reduce competition and increase profits. The
movement in Union Pacific was based upon
expectations that the Government will not
deiay the reorganization of the company by APP
pcaling from the decree Of foreclosure. Tho

Texas seconds. Other issues that received un.
usual attention at advancing prices were Kansas
Pacific trsts, and Union Pacific, Denver and
Gulf trsts. London evinced a moderate inter-
est in the market. and on arbitragc account
probably bought more than it sold. The fact

factor is the slackening demand for gold for cx-
