CONTROL OF JERSEY CENTRAL.
WELL DEFINED RUMoR THAT THE PENN
sYLvANIA MAY GET THE ROAD.

The belief that the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road Company would some day or other take
over the Central Railroad of New-Jersey has
been for many months held by Wall Street
Yesterday, however a we'll dehred rumor be-
came current that the purchaser OF the New
Jersey Central would be found to be the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company. ana that the an
nouncenent of the completion Of the operation
might soon be expected. Just what direct bene-
at control Of the New-Jersey Central would
give the PENNSYLVANIA is not at first thought
clear Nor was il clear before the act how the
Pennsylvania could benefit through ownership
of the Long Island Railroad, but it bought the
Long Island Railroad The Baltimore and ONO,
as is we'll known gains its entrance to the
metropolis by use of the Jersey City terminals
of the Central Railroad of New-Jersey, ana It's
position as a trunk line would be greatly
STRENGTHENED by it's absolute control OF these
terminals But the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany is now influential in the management OF
the Baltimore and Ohio, and it is thought IN
Wall Street not unreasonable to suppose that
the Pennsylvania may acquire the New-Jersey
Central. perhaps in the interest in large part
Of the affiliated Baltimore and Ohio.
There has been great activity in Pennsylvania
stock in the last two days. Enormous DOCKS
have been picked up by interests as yet un-

STOCKS BOUGHT FREELY.
MARKET IMPROVES IN TONE SHOWING
THE PUBLIC STILL INVESTING.

The stock market which on Monday declined
and at the close showed much weakness i'm
proved materially in tone yesterday. No rec
ords were broken. but the transactions aggre-
gated nearly 1000 600 shares, and at the end of
the days trading prices were as q rule above
Mondays last figures. The opening was frreg-
ular, with signs OF continued weakness, but
before noon a general rally occurred and in the
afternoon hours there was q marked renewal
OF investment buying. While there was again
yesterday much realization selling. it was plain
that large interests were buying on every sub
stantiai recession and that the public were still
in the market
The professional operators once more sold the
market. but toward the close of the day changed
their position and became buyers. Call money
ranged between 2 and 6 per cent, closing at 3
per cent, most OF the days loans being made at
per cent. The market closed irregular and
rather unsettled.
Because OF the remarkably heavy operations in
the stock market recently the Committee of
Arrangements OF the Stock Exchange decided
yesterday to keep the vaults OF the Exchange
open until o'clock, instead of 4:3O the usual
closing hour. The change will be for a time
only, and is made a matter OF convenience TO
those members who keep their strong boxes in
the vaults
Manhattan and Metropolitan each made a net
gain of 112 per cent yesterday the former having
scored maximum advance of 31s points and the
