The announcement in this paper that
the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy de-
sires TO secure exclusive triffic connections
with the Missouri, Kansas and Texas rail-
way attracted much attention in Wall
street. There il no doubt that the matter
is receiving the most careful attention OF
the Burlington officials, but it il still un-
certain what arrangement Will finally be
made. The guarantee OF per cent on
Missouri, Kansas ana Texas preferred
would probably not stand In the way OF
deal. II 1t were not for the fact that this
would practieslly involve the Assumption
by the Burlington OF the haty go!d Donds.

been much opposed 10 the creation oi a
