| spite of the dissemination of the report
| that the officials of the company denied
that the preferred stock would be retired
or that such a project had been consid-

| tie effect on the other Changers, whicn
| displayed more or less strength at inter-
| walls.

rather neglected of late, made a sensation
| al advance of 10%. There was considerable
covering of short sales by traders while
| stock was supplied by houses with Boston
and Chicago connections.
There were some sharp recessions during
the afternoon at the time when Burlington

prices picked up and continued to improve
to the close, the leader in the recovery be
| ing Northern Pacific common.
