Union Pacific common and preferred
followed the advance in the Northern Pa
cifics at respectful distance. They both
closed with good net gains for the
day. Southern Pacific also made a sharp
advance to the highest price on record,
~ 1-Sc. Missouri Pacific had a sharp
bulge TO So, the highest price since divi-
dends were discontinued in 1891 The
boom in this stock was said to be the
work of clique. There is no great pros
peet of dividend for the stock at pres-
ent.
The times., 1900-12-22

Some of the Northern Pacific insiders
insist that there is no corner in the COM
mon stock and that the short sales in
London have been only an incident in
forcing the price upward. It is limited
with much positiveness that the story of
the retirement OF the preferred stock for
31-2 per cent bond. thus placing the
common stock in the position of the only
stock issue. will be shown 10 be true in
a short time.

the railway list now Is higher than lt
any time before in twenty years, but con-
diti0as are different and this should be

holding the dividend paying railway shares

closing nearly at the top all over the list.
Northern Pacific common and preferred
were the sensations of the market yester
day After many days of rapid advances
they both held their own, and even made
good gains Two months ago, only, the
common stock was at 46 "a so that its
advance since that time has been nearly
forty points. The preferred in October was
at 6S. and Yesterday therefore. showed an
advance of twenty-one points. The bril-
liant career of Atohison preferred has
never. at any time, equaled this record.
The showing is the more remarkable when
it is remembered that President Mellen
last autumn spoke in a decidedly pessi-
mistic way OF the coming year for the sys-
TEN, and made the entire street turn bear
ish on its securities. The outcome sug
gests in a most unpleasant way the kind
Of market joS5sry that the Gates crowd
have introduced to the public during the
past year. II seems probable that the in
siders have had corner on the floating
supply of the common stock, and that they
have punished the shcrts numerically. 1t
is, CT course. impossible in such Il situa-
tion to predict when the top has been
reached but the price of the common
stock is probably ten points at least higher
than its intrinsic value

A month or two ago the predictions that

with derision. and rightly, perhaps. as 30
point advances in two months are ex-
tremely uncommon. Now the insiders
talk of $50 and 300 as an early probabiI-
ity, and give as their reason that the
company is earning enormous profits
which would warrant the payment of 20
per cent dividends. Expert inside infor-
nation, guaranteed. is the only thing that
should excuse buying of the stock at

the Burlington stockholders, tips of 6 per
