Speculation Today Equals
Anything Seen Yet.
UNION PACIFIC LEADS.
Rumors of Railroad Combination and
Scheme of Powerful interests to
Again Create Boom Is Responsible
for the Heavy Trading.

New York, May 6.-Speculation in
stocks began today with spirit and
enthusiasm that was quite equal to
anything witnessed on the floor of the
New York exchange in the current
movement. Seemingly the public is
imbued with suspicion that power
full interest who is credited with leader
ship in the market had engineered the
reaction of Friday and Saturday with
the purpose of shaking out the weak
and encumbering holdings to better
prepare for a fresh advance. High
prices in railroad stocks were suppos-
ed to be the subject of the contest for
control, and the resulting great eX-
pense in the process of absorption
gave plausibility to the theory that
capitalists looked upon the reaction
with complacence."
Additional Rumor.
There was in addition a rumor
afloat to the effect that all contesting
railroad interests had come to a COM
promise, and were about to consoli.
date practically all leading railroad
systems of the country.

5000 shares of United States Steel
Is, 1000 Atchison, 10000 Union Pacific
and between 1000 and 10000 of hall
dozen other stocks. Opening prices
varied widely, showing gains OF one tc
four and quarter points over Satu,+
day. Northern Pacific advanced %
points during the day and held well
near the top, when the rest of the
market declined on heavy realizing
persistent heaviness OF steel stocks
and the high money rate. Only few
stocks got back to the opening higl
level at any time. but there were very
wide advances in few unimportan
stocks. Much. animation was takel
from the market in the latter part Q
