VIII Merge tho New York Ceutrnf
and Big Four.


New York. November 24.--The move
ment in Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago
and St. Louis Is attributed by excellent
authority to continued buying by Mr. VAN
derhilt, who is now the largest individual
stockholder IN the company. Mr.. Morgan
and Mr. Twomb,ey have been comforting
this week with Mr.. Vanderbilt. President
ingalls, has also been here all the week,
but left for the West today.
The conference of these gentlemen with
Mr.. Vanderbilt is stated on good authority
to have related principally 10 the alliance
of the Chesapeake and Ohio, the Monon
and ithe Lake Erie and Western with the
Big Four system.
MIR, Vanderbilt. it is said, is opposed 10
this scheme. preferring To retain the Big
Four system in its present form and merge
it with the New York Central system.
This plan retains for the Vanderbilt roads
the business gathered up b. the Big -Four
system, instead of having it possibly
diverted to Newport News through closer
alliance with the Chesapeake and Ohio.
Vanderbilt interests are so largely con
centrated in New York Central that this
plan has appealed to him more strongly
than those proposed by Messrs. Morgan
and Twombley. involving the taking over
OF the properties OF these gentlemen. The
conferences, however, are reported to be
still going on.
