The sensation of the day in stock
circles was a break in Missouri Pa
cific from 10 to Is. on unusually heavy
trading. The OLD report of receiver
ship was freely circulated, but this
time the rumOr was met with a most
emphatic denial on the part OF Presl-
dent Gould. Mr.. Gould, in state
ment made public shortly after the
slump in the stock, denied absolutely
that a receiver would be appointed ana
also expressed his willingness to cash
Anril coupons of the company at their
face value, less the usual rebate at
the rate of per cent per annum he
further stated that the earnings OF the
road were improving, net from jan
uary showing an increase of Sl4S,OOO
as compared with the corresponding
month in 1896. In his opinion the at
tack on the stock and the reports of
-'eceivership were the result of desire
on the part of the bears to cover short
sales in other stocks. The denial
alarmed the shorts, a rush to cover
followed and the stock bounded up TO
1S361S4, closing at that figure.
The general market held remarkably
well throughout the raid. In fact, as
the day advanced, railway and indus
trial stocks gathered strength, and
near the close the best figures for
long time past were recorded in many
instances.
Speculation closed strong in tone.
The total sales were 239, 131 shares, of
which So. 500 were Missouri Pacific; So
600 Sugar; $500 st. Paul, and $500
Omaha
Bonds were strong. Sales footed up
s1.310.000 Atchisor, Colorado and Pa
cific 6s rose 1; Union Pacific sinking
fund certificates, l. Missouri Pacific
issues were heavy and in sympathy
with the drop in the stock. The co
lateral trust IS were offered down froifl
20 to 50, and later sold at SO. The con-
solicated SIS were offered at so, against
SO, the last sale before today.
In government bonds. $4,000 regis
tered IS sold 11434; $1,000 registered
4s of 1907 at Ill. and $1,000 registered
Is coupons at 1131s.
