N. Y. CENTRAL.
Interest on Stock Exchange Gen.
tired III Vanderbilt Lines.
Disposition to Take Profits Manifested in
New York and London Demand for
Middle Grade Bonds.

New York, Jan. 27.-There were a
number of features of aggressive
strength in today's stock market, but
there were also evidences that the sus-
tanning force of these special stocks was
taken advantage of to sell out heavy
lines of other stocks to realize profits
The centre Of interest in the market
continued to be New York Central The
persistent advance in this stock is at
tributed very generally in the street to
inside buying, and the reports of pend
ing plan for the merging Of Lake Shore
and New York Central find very gen
eral credence All sorts of rumors are
constantly afloat protesting to give in
detail the plans for this merging, and
also for the consolidation of various 9TH
er Vanderbilt properties, but no official
or authoritative announcement has been
made, nor Is one expected. The advance
in New York Central was twice arrest
ed during the day by reactions. The
large absorption of the stock which de-
veloped before the decline had reached
great length, suggested the possibility
that the reaction was manipulated in
the interest of those seeking to acquire
the stock. Lake Shore yielded IL of it's
extreme advance of "a before the close.
1t is noticeable that the Vanderbilt
stocks for the most part closed below
last nights final price Northern Pa
cific pref, Kansas & Texas pref. and
Rock Island were leaders of the mar
ket in conjunction with New York Cen
trail There were not lacking other feat
ures of strength in the market, and the
New York transit companies were con-
spicuous for sudden and sharp adj
vance in the final hour. But consider
ing the large volume of business the
small net advance in many active spec
ulative favorites and the mixture of
losses on the days business, it must be
regarded as probable that there was
large taking of profits by recent buyers.
London had large account in the To-
cal market today. and on the side Of
sales there was a balance of over 80, 600
shares. There was no news to explain
such a change of front on the part OF
the British financial CONTROL and it can
only be accounted for as significant
disposition to take quick profits on
sharp advance.
Sterling exchange responded to the
London selling with a rather firmer tone.
There was no hardening tendency per
ceptible in the local money market. me
enormous demand for middle grade and
low priced bonds continued in that de-
partment of the market today. The
volume of transactions thus far in jan
ualy is said to be far in excess of that
for. the corresponding period in any pre-
vious year Today's business was large,
and the advance is marked in the low
priced speculative issues. Total sales S5,-
