TO BUY THE JERSEY CENTRAL
The d. q o. and Pennsylvania May
Divide the Property.

BALTIMORE, April 12.-The next impor-
tant move on the railway checkerboard is
reported to be the absorption of the Phila
delphia and Reading and he Central Rail
road of New Jersey by the Baltimore and
Ohio and the Pennsylvania systems. The
plan is said to be for he Baltimore and
Ohio and the Pennsylvania to acquire the
properties and divide them among their
systems. the Baltimore and Ohio taking the
| Philadelphia and Reading division. extend
ing from Philadelphia to Boundbrook, y. j..
and one or two other important branches
and the New Jersey Central division. ex
tending from Boundbrook to New York, the
Pennsylvania acquiring the remaining di
visions.
This scheme would give the Baltimore
and Ohio an unbrolsen line of its own from
New York to st. Louis and Louisville, via
Cincinnati and would secure to the Penn
sylvania absolute control of the anthracite
coal tonnage of the Scranton. Wilkesbarre,
and Mauch Chunk districts Of Pennsyl
vania, which are now dominated by the
New Jersey Central.
II is said that the Pennsylvania has here
tofore never looked with favor upon the
Baltimore and Ohio entering Jersey City
over its own tracks but since it has ac
quired such a large interest in the property
this opposition has disappeared, and now it
is said that the Pennsylvania is not only
willing for its one-time rival 10 secure
these advantages but will aid it in every
way TO bring about the deal provided the
Baltimore and Ohio will reciprOcate by aid
ing the PENNSYLVANIA in controlling the an
thracite coal traffic. This scheme is un-
derstood to have been considered in Phila-
delphia yesterday, when Chairman Salo-
mon. of the Baltimore and Ohio. and Presi-
IpaNa eN-lN 20
ferred on railroad matters. The manage
ment OF both the Baltimore and Ohio and
the PENNSYLVANIA have for obvious reasons,
kent the matter a secret until their plans
are fully m8tured.
Another matter which is said 10 be near
ing a head is the formal transfer Of the
contro! of the Baltimore and Ohio South
western to the Baltimore and Ohio. The
Baltimore and Ohio owns all of the stock
of the Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern,
and guarantees principal and interest on
the latter's mortgage Indebtedness. The
operation Of the Baltimore and Ohio South
western as the southwestern division of the
Baltimore and Ohio was provided for in the
plan of reorganization OF the former. but
the carving out of the terms was delayed
by President Bacon and Vice President
Greene. of the Baltimore and Ohio South
western This road extends from Parkers-
burg, w Va. TO ST. Louis. and reaches the
important cities of Cincinnati, Louisville.
and Springfield III.
Messrs Bacon and Greene were in Balti-
more yesterday in conference with Bati-
more and Ohio officials. 1t was given out
that they discussed only the improvements
contemplated on the Baltimore and Ohio
| Southwestern. but it is believed that for
NAL transfer OF the control of the latter
property was the chief topic under con-
sideration.

NEW YORK, April 12.-Lcndon again fur
nished a materially higher range of prices
for American stocks, and with the course
OF the morning. foreign houses bought
on balance upward of $4,000 shares of
stocks here. These circumstances were
largely instrumental in giving its upward
tendency to the railway list. The tone
OF the London market was said to be
largely owing to the general disposition
there to reduce short commitments over
the protrscted Easter holidays, and in the
local dealings a similar disposition was
evident.
Commission house business was again in
rather light volume and poorly distributed.
Aside from the rather aggressive buying
for foreign account, there was virtually
nothing new over night bearing upon the
market. To1ays figures of the transac-
tons between the local banks and the sub
treasury since Friday last indicate a gain
to the former of some $500, 600. and it
seems improbable that there will be any
such heavy increase in the loan account
as was shown in last Saturdays bank
statement. Certainly the general run OF
the daily transactions in the weeks stock
market would not indicate any consider
able increase on that account.
Money was again extremely easy, al
though offerings on time were materially
curtailed. Sterling exchange scored a fur
Their sharp rise, creating apprehensions
and inducing predictions of an early export
movement OF gold. This notion was by
no means accepted by some of the most
trustworthy authorities in the foreign ex-
change market, who pointed out that unless
some special inducements should he held
out by foreign importers. a much further
advance in sterling is necessary before eX-
portations of gold could be profitably I'M
dertaken.
Other routine features of the day COM
prised the publication of large number
of statements of railway traffic for the
first week OF the month. among which
the roads in the Southern States con-
tinued to report the heaviest gains.
AS was to be expected, in view Of the
technical circumstances of the days mar
ket, the bulk of the strength and ANNA
ton was in the railway list. There were
particularly rapid advances in Northern
Pacific. Union Pacific, and Missouri Pacific.
the strength of the latter stock being spe-
officially owing TO the published utterances
of prominent director that the stock was
likely TO be placed this year on 4 per
cent basis.
The Baltimore and Ohio stocks again
showed noteworthy strength, and else
where pronounced prices were noted in the
granger list. Louisville and Nashville.
Southern Railway preferred, Norfolk and
Western. and Chesapeake and Ohio.
Among the specialties there was noted
very sharp advance in General Electric.
The Industrial quarter continued for the
most part heavy, and the stocks based
upon the steel and iron trades again
showed the most pressure, but the move
ments in Sugar Refining, Peoples Gas. and
the Tobacco stocks were rather erratic.
The dealings ruling in the local traction
department were not characterized by a
common tone, Manhattan and Brooklyn
Rapid Transit being firm. while Metropon-
tan and Third Avenue were uncertain.

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
All the Cereals Sell Lower-A Rally
in Provisions.


CHICAGO, April 12.-Wheat was weak
and lower, the feature being liquidation in
May. which has widened the July premium
to Is. The Price Current was bearish
in its summary, noting very favorable con-
ditions. Primary receipts were larger than
last year clearances $40. goo bushels. The
cash demand here continues slack. There
was a large shipping business done a Du-
luth today on the break.
Corn tonight was a cent under the close
of last night, and the biggest line in the
market has been sold out. There has not
been much improvement in shipping de-
mand The demand for futures today has
been from shorts.

weakness has been in the main with corn
Those interests which were long corn have
been selling oats for several days as a
hedge. and there was more of that today
The Price Current says the area will be
ID to the average, and the conditions are
favorable.
Provisions opened off on the further de
cline in the hog market. but a very good
general demand-one of the largest packers
leading in the buying-caused a sharp rally

a very large cash demand. The closing was

THE BOSTON AND ALBANY DEAL
Another Obstacle Blocks the New

NEW YORK. April 12.-Another OBJ
stacle to the ratification Of the lease of
the Boston and Albany Railroad to the
New York Central has been interposed by
representatives of the East Boston Com
pany, a corporation which owns extensive
wharf and terminal property in Boston.
Nathan Matthews, as the representative
of this company. has formally applied to
the Massachusetts Legislature TO amend
the proposed lease by inserting clause
requiring the New York Central TO spend
ST, 900, 900 within five years in charging
and perfecting the docks wharves and
other terminal facilities owned by the Bos
ton and Albany Company. in East Boston.
The Vanderbilts are apparently max
ing no efforts TO influence the action of
the Massachusetts Legislature.

Yesterdays market was largely devoted
10 evening up contracts that traders did
not care TO carry over the holidays. AS a
result, there was a general advance in
prices. The professionals have nearly all
been bearishly inclined. Perhaps, also. of
n sudden the bears may have come TO con-
slider the short side the wrong one, In the
face of much good news of various kinds.
Despite the slight advances OF the day
the short week in the market has nc. been
an especially inspiring one. Prices have
gone off little anywhere and in some Sc
curities there have been gains, but there
has been much less commission buying
and public enthusiasm and much more
professionalism. In other words, the boom
has halted. The outlook is in doubt Many
believe that the top rices of the spring
have been reached, and that nothing more
than recoveries to near these prices need
be expected. On the other hand il is GER
tain that some Of the shrewdest financial
and market people consider the halt only
q temporary one. natural and unavoidable
after the recent fine advance. The chances
seem somewhat to favor higher prices.
The fact that the Vanderbilts and the
Pennsylvania people have been buying
large blocks of Baltimore and Ohio, Chesa-
peake and Ohio, Norfolk and Western,
Reading and many other railway securi
ties. and that the Metropolitan Railway
crowd have been heavy buyers OF Third
Avenue shows coDclusively whatrthese In
terests. the most important in the fnan
cial world, think of the situation. Those
who sell the market short are pitting their
judgment against the judgment and the
efforts Of very strong and very shrewd
people. Buying OF the railway list and OF
some OF the best Of the industrials on all
declines is advised.

II will be seen that the Baltimore and
Ohio proper during the nine months end
ing March 81 made net earnings nearly
double those of last year. The baltimore
and Ohio Southwestern also made fine
showing. though not as good one as the
main line The net earnings of the sys-
TEN for the first nine months OF the fiscal
year are far in excess of the net earnings
during the entire fiscal year 1899. At the
present rate of earnings the company is
earning about 10 per cent on the common
stock after paying 1 per cent on the pre-
fe-red. There are but three months re-
naming in the fiscal year, and they are
certain not TO make much difference
against this rate. The prospects are eX-
cellent. in fact, that the increase in net
for the remainder OF the year will be even
better than heretofore. owing TO the in
crease in the soft coal rates. The COM
pany is doing much better than the officers
in their estimate 4 year ago dared TO pre-
diet. II is probable that they did not
themselves look for anything like the rec
ord being made.
The earnings statements yesterday were
all good. The most interesting was that
of the Norfolk and Western, which showed
a fine gain In gross for the first week in
April though 1t was not up TO the records
made in the best recent weeks. The in
crease was about $4,000. The increase TO
date this year has been about s75s, 900.
Norfolk was strong on London and COM
mission buying making an advance OF

and Southern Railway were also strong,
though they made no net gains OF impor-
lance.
The Continental Tobacco securities held
their own at the higher levels established

pany was better than had been expected.

more hopeful than it has been at any time
