THE ROADS IN HARMONY
GREAT NORTHERN AND NORTHERN
PACIFIC FRIENDLY.
Purchasers of stock of the Last
Named Road I'm sympathy
with MIR. Hill.

New York, Feb. 19.--It became known
which underworld the Northern Pacific
plan of reorganization had sold two
thirds of the stock accruing to it to the
Deutsche bank OF Berlin and others. The
purchasers are recognized as close friends
of President Hill of the Great Northern.
Northern Pacific securities have been
dealt in on the stock exchange ever since
on the conviction that President Hill will
henceforth have voice in the direction
regarded as the elimination of a plan
for the sympathetic control of the two
roads long in contemplation, and the mu-
tual advantage of which is obvious.
The almost simultaneous announcement
of sale of oregon Railway q Naviga-
ton securities to interests identified with
Northern Pacific, Great Northern and
Union Pacific indicated the stil further
ramification of the plan of the manage
ment of this group of transcontinental
lines.
While none of the interests concerned
has consented to give sanction to the in
ferences drawn from these transactions,
or to disclose the ultimate holders of the
securities sold, the fact that the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern will be in har-
mony as result is generally recognized.
Wall Street Aware of 1t.
New York, Feb. 1.-THE renewed re-
port that President ]. ]. Hill of the
Great Northern railway had secured
controlling interest of the Northern Pa
cific railway can not be verified in Wall
street.
The revival of the story at this time
attracts no attention among dealers in
railroad securities, who had information
of such a state of things several weeks
General credence is given the supposition
that recent heavy transactions of the
Northern Pacific for German account
were designed to secure a sympathetic
administration of the Northern Pacific
and Great Northern.
