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 the Central Rail
road Of New Jersey by the Baltimore and
Ohio and the Pennsylvania systems The
plan is said TO be for the 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

tending from Boundbrook to New York. the
Pennsylvania acquiring the remaining di-
visions.
This scheme would give the Baltimore
and Ohio an unbroken 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-
vauia. which are now dominated by the
New Jersey Central
Il 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 il 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 oue-t time rival to 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-
dent Cassatt. of the Pennsylvania. con-
fprred on railroad matters The manage
mept of both the Baltimore and Ohio and
fhe PENNSYLVANIA have. for obvious reasons,
kent the matter secret until their plans
are fully matured.
Another matter which is said to be near
ing a head is the formal transfer OF the
control OF the Baltimore and Ohio South

NEW YORK. April 12.-London again fur

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. To1sys figures OF the transac-
lions between the local banks and the sub
treasury since Friday last indicate a gain
10 the former OF some $500 000 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
ther 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

a sudden the bears may have come 10 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 not been
an especially inspiring one. Prices have
gone of 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 10 near these prices need
be expected. On the other hand it is GER
tain that some Of the shrewdest financial

. temporary one. natural and unavoidable

seem somewhat to favor higher prices.
