THE CAPITAL TRACTION DEAL.
A Jump in the stock Follows Com
frmatory Rumors of Sale.

An agent of the American Railways Com
pany, of Philadelphia is in the city making
an examination of the Capital Traction
Companys properties, in furtherance of the
deal for their purchase. He spent the day
yesterday in the examination and it is
understood that he will continue his work
today.
No secret is made now OF the fact that
the American Railways Company wishes to
purchase the local line. The matter has
resolved itself into the question OF agree
ing ON price simply. and officers and
prominent stockholders Of the Capital TTac-
tion Company acknowledge this much. The
position of the Capital Railway officers may
be stated briefly as follows:
No offer for portion of the stock of the
company will be considered. No offer of
less than sl25 share will receive consid-
Grafton. II the intending purchasers see
fit TO offer s125 or more for the entire
100 900 shares of the company and to pat
up a substantial guarantee of good faith
ii will be submitted to the stockholders by
those in authority. 1t is said 10 be prob
able that the matter will be decided finally
in a few days, either by an offer from
the Philadelphia company or its with
drawaI from the field entirely. Officers of
the company consider ii probable that the
offer Will be made.
Capital Traction stock doomed again in
the local stock exchange yesterday. The
price advanced quickly from l03 IS, the
closing price of Wednesday, to 10 A to-
tai OF about $50 shares were sold. at prices
between 1O7 and 10. The closing price
was 10g IL bid, 1l0 asked. Large-sized
bids for the stock were in the market from
Philadelphia parties, supposed TO be closely
identified with the intending purchasers, If
they do not actually represent them. This
fact leads to the seppositiOn that the bid
ders are willing 10 buy at least consid
erabIy above par.
Nearly 1000 shares of Capital Traction
have changed hands on the exchange this
week. in addition to which ii is known that
large transactions have taken place of the
boards. The business in the stock has made
this week one OF the most notable IN the
history of the exchange.

NEW YORK. March 22.-Fore gn bank
ing houses bought upward Of 10000 shares
of stocks in this market today. and the
purchases on this account were the chief
feature OF the dealings. While they were
in progress the railway list advanced with
noteworthy rapidity, and the dealings were
in unusually large volume. London's at
titude in this market was due to the graf
iication felt there by the enactment of
the new financial law, and also to the prev
alent belief in an early conclusion Of hes
Iilities in South Africa. The foreign pur-
chases were well distributed throughout
the internationally listed group, and these
stocks were easily the leaders of the mar
ket. The advances in Atchison shares, In
Northern and Union Pacific stocks, Louis
vile and Nashville. Norfolk and Western
common, and elsewhere. attained substan-
tiaI proportions. After the conclus on OF
sue buying for foreign account, as was 10
he expected, there were more or less pro-
bounced reactions, but the railway list
maintained throughout the day an exceed
ingly strong undertone.
Local speculative sentiment appeared to
be virtually revolutionized. Attention re-
verted not only TO the probable operations
OF the new financial law, but even such
matters as the remarkable prosperity OF
the railroads and the chances for increased
dividends on their stocks again came in for
discussion. Aside from the stocks alre ady
cited, the granger shares were notably
strong. and there were substantial ad-
vances in Pennsylvania, Chesapeake and
Ohio and the Wheeling and Lake Erie
issues, IN which the strength shown re-
flected favorable views as to the years
agricultural prospects. and profitable con-
ditions in the coal trade.
The movements in the industrial quarter
and in the local traction group were quite
irregular: all of the industrials based upon
the steel industry were heavy, probably be-
cause OF the beginning of the machinists
strike at Cleveland and on apprehensions
that the labor difficulties would spread fur
Their. Still. the dealings in this quarter OF
the market were not particularly extern
sive. and during the forenoon they exer-
cised little influence upon the remainder
of the market. The course of the local
traction shares was not remarkable. in
view Of their recent rise. and the fact that
the new assessment under the franchise
law was expected to be announced within
week or ten days. Third avenue retained
its conspicuous position in this group. WH,h
further wide fluctuations appearing in the
stock
Aside from the London buying and the
noted alteration in speculative sentiment,
there was little that was striking in the
situation though today's dealings aggre-
gated a larger total than for long time
The money market was easy, notwithstand-
ing the fairly large loss to the banks in
the weeks operations with the Sub-Treas-
ury and the increased requirements of COM
mission houses

The boom in tie stock market continued
uninterrupted yesterday, business being
again on the large scale OF recent days
and prices in the railway list advancing
steadily nearly all day. This week has
seen an entire change in the complexion
OF the market. Not only have prices adj
yanced rapidly. but there has been a much
broader speculation. The clique began the
movement. but they were helped mate
rally by the squeeze of 1.-THE shorts in
Third Avenue and Metropolitan. which
acted a tonic to the entire list. The
shorts became frightened in other securi-
ties after Third Avenue had whipsawed
them and have been buyi-5 heavily all the
week. Better than this Uuying. however
the public is now coming into the market
in an important way. taking thousands of
shares of stock and pushing prices up
handsomely. London also has been an
important factor. The foreign buying of
American securities recently has been
larger and more confident than for many
months past AS was predicted several
days ago, IL is beginning 10 have its effect
on sentiment on this side, as well as ere
sting scarcity in many securities that
are fayorites in London and Berlin. The
outlook is excellent. Temporary declines,
as smaller speculative interests liquidate,
are probable every day and careful people
would not be surprised IL there were some
reaction TO-DAY, especially il the market
opens high. On every slight movement OF
this kind, how ever there will be good buy
ing by the clilues, and the public is likely
at any time 20 become uncomfortable in
its eagerness. Much higher prices seem
inevitable. Every day of the advance
makes the bull position 80 per cent
stronger in a technical way. Intrinsic
conditions are not improving, but this is
only because they are already superb Call
money was loaning at 8 1-2 to 1-2 yes
terday and the supply was ample. The
fear OF tight money has vanished The
bank statement tomorrow is expected TO
show Improvement over that of last week,
but it is not yet possible TO say that the
surplus reserve will not be further cut
into.
