RAILROAD DEAL.
Negotiations for the Chicago & Alton
Have Been Concluded.

New York, January 31.-A Wall street
news bureau today made this statement re-
garding the Chicago and Alton railroad
deal:
I'VE are able to state that the Alton deal
has been practically concluded. The prop
erty will be taken by a syndicate for the
benefit of the Illinois Central, Union Pacific,
Missouri Pacific and Missouri, Kansas and
Texas. How it is to be operated to the adj
vantage of these interests is not yet de-
clared but the general statement is made
that the method will be to the interest of
all. 1t will certainly be to the advantage
of the Missouri Pacific by giving direct
line to Chicago. 1t will perhaps improve
the Illinois Central position at st. Louis,
and will give it line to Kansas City. The
advantage to the Union is not clear, al
though the fact that the Illinois Central viii
build to Omaha will put that company on
an equality with the Chicago-Omaha lines
in the handling OF trans-continental bus-
ness.
There Is little reason to doubt holders of
Alton can count on getting 175 for the COM
mon and 200 for the preferred.
