MI UNION PACIFIC DEAL.
Reported Control of St. Psal Sends Up
Stock of Both Roads.

Reported Control of st. Paol Sends Up
Stock of Both Roads.
NEW YORK, June 1.-THE rumor
was circulated in Wall street, whether
for stock jobbing purposes or not re-
mains to be seen, that the Union Pa
ciic has got control Of the st. Paul
by the transfer to John D. Rockefeller
OF SIS, 600, 900 worth Of st. Paul stock
by an unnamed holder, supposed to be
James Henry Smith, known as Isl
lent" Smith. The story a denied by
St Paul people, but as 1t had the eff
feet of sending Union Pacific up 3 2-6
points and st. Paul up over 4 points,
both issues were heavily dealt In.
According to the story, Smith and
his associates had in their possession
SIS, 900, 900 worth of st. Paul stock
which has for years been locked up.
Recently ]. J. Hill wanted to control
the road in connection with the Great
Northern, and learning that the Smith
coterie controlled nearly a third of the
capital stock, which is SS1 500 shares,
or SIS, 152, 900, he made overtures look
ing toward the acquisition Of their
shars.
Smith could not be persuaded to sell,
and Hill took the Chicago, Burlington
g. Quincy road. Then followed the fight
we the Northern Pacific, which re-
suited in the recent panic. Mr.. Rock
efeller is now supposed to have in
duced Mr.. Smith to sell his shares. 1t
is said that among Smiths associates
were two of the st. Paul directors.

American Coal for France

WASHINGTON, June 14-ConsuI
General Gowdy at Paris, in a communi-
cation to the department of state, ex-
presses the opinion that American coal
can be advantageously placed in COM
petition with coal imported from other
countries into Europe, especially in
view OF the recent imposition of the
English export tax on that product.
The main obstacle in this regard. he
says, would be the high rates Of ocean
transportation.
