motive was the official confirmation of the
merging OF the Pullman and Wagner Palace
Car Companies, which the stock tape has fore
shadowed for some time past. The published
assertion that the Vanderbilts are to get the
Pullman holdings of Boston and Albany and
Boston and Maine stocks as an incident to the
deal and that the New York Central would

NEW YORK, Oct. 2o-Bradstreet's In its
review of the New York stock market to-mor-
row, will say:
Prices improved this week, the stock market

Early in the week better tone appeared in

tlement connected with the Central Pacific re-

mainly supplied by a large short in
terest which had accumulated during the past
sitive to the financial conditions here and
abroad. The easier tone in the New
York money market is calculated to
facilitate a movement of gold from
this side to London. which the temporary
falling off of grain exports, the scarcity of
commercial bills of exchange and the rise OF

such movement could not be very large nor
continue for any time, yet the stock market
inclined to watch this part of the stua-
ton with much attention. The hrmness OF

even some buying at times from that
quarter. while on Friday the news of Brit
ish success in the first engagements stimulated
