TRANSC0NTINENTALL LINES
THEY LEAD IN A VERY MARKED
BULL MOVEMENT.
1t Does Not Extend Very Far, How
ever, and Much of the List Is Slug
Gish-MOnetary Conditions.

NEW YORK, Oct. 11-Great speculative
activity continued in the stock market to-
day, but it was centered to a large extent
In the -ranscontinental stocks, led by st.
Paul, which rose S4 points over last night
in the late dealing and closed l point below
the best. The activity of to-day's market
was largely due TO the crop OF rumors re-
vived by yesterdays reports of the proposed
plan for consolidating the control Of North
ern Pacific, Great Northern and Burlington
into one proprietary company. AS a matter
of fact, the official disclaimers Of the ac-
curacy of the reports and the prompt re-
lapse in the prices of Great Northern pre-
ferred and Northern Pacific preferred had a
somewhat chilling effect on speculative
sentiment. The general accord Of the cur
rent rumors in allowing that the stock of
Northern Pacific itself was not yet provided
for in the plan, the alleged provision for
the retirement of Northern Pacific pre-
ferred, through which the control by the
Hartman interests is exerted, and the as
sertion by representatives OF the Hartman
interests that hat syndicate was not a
participant in the plan, seemed to open up
q vista Of renewed contention. AS the day
progressed there was a revival of old ru-
mors that Union Pacific was to acquire st.
Paul in exchange for new bonds. In the
presence of these pleasant old associations
speculative enthusiasm seemed to take fire.
The buying of St. Paul was quite in the old
prodigal fashion of outlay, and Union Pa
cihc, Southern Pacific and Atchison were
conspicuous followers. The extreme ad-
vance in Union Pacific was Us and in
Southern Pacific pa. Rock Island was up
4 points at one time on light dealings. Mis-
souri, Pacific by no means kept pace with
the other transcontinental railroads, and
the Gould stocks as a whole were laggardS.
The Southwesterns were affected by poor
earnings for the first week in October.
Here and there in the railroad list and the
prominent industrials there were advances
Of a point or over. but the activity and
strength of the market were by no means
general or we'll distributed. the coalers
and the so-called Morgan stocks, including
! be little affected and moved narrowly. EX-
pectatiOn of a good bank statement was
general, founded more on the tone or the
| money market than on actual ton,
and the showing will depend on the loan
item, changes in which are necessarily OBJ
scure. The feeling is growing that present
resources of the banks are likely to prove
sufficient to meet the further requirements
of the interior for currency. The movement
by express this week fell off over $3,OC,OOO
from that of last week. This feeling was
an influence on the strength OF the market.
| The railroad bond market was active and
showed an increasing strength. Total sales
fves, coupon, advanced a per cent. on the
last call.
| Following are the days share sales and
the recorded price changes:

Northwestern Merger seems Assured.

GGranger Farwel & Co.'S telegram
NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE market to-
day on very large transactions was buoyant
and closed at very near the best prices of
the day. There was an exceptional adj
vantage of nearly 9 points in st. Paul, In
which there was supposed to be very large
buying by Standard Oil interests. Union
Pacific, Rock Island and Southern Pacific
were next in Importance and in the ex-
tent Of their advance. Money was some
what easier and a favorable bank state
ment was predicted. There was no definite
news Of Importance, but there were various
rumors OF large combinations and consol-
idations. The steel stocks were conspicu-
ously quiet and showed some small changes
for the day. The short interest in the mar
ket was very largely reduced, and it is an
open question whether the advance Of the
past two days has not been too rapid. In
formation is at hand from what is regard
ed as very reliable authority that the
Northern-Union Pacific deal is sure to 90
through now, unless something unforeseen
occurs; that st. Paul will go into the deal
at 200, Union Pacific at 120 and Northern
Pacific at 125, both Northern Pacific pre-
ferred and Great Northern preferred to be
retired.

Easier Monetary Situation.
Meyer & Kiser's TeIegram.l

NEW YORK, Oct. u.-Under the leader
shipof st. Paul, which was extremely
strong and active, closing over 10 points
above the lowest price of yesterday, the
whole market had a sharp advance. In
spite of Mr.. Hills denial the street is firmly
convinced that some important develop
ments in regard TO the Northwestern Rail-
road situation are pending, and this con-
fdence was further strengthened to-day,
more by the character OF buying of St.
Paul than it's activity. The buying was
through some of the best houses in the
street, and led to the conclusion that all
interests were working tremendously
There was some realizing during the first
by the heavy purchases made through GER
tain prominent commission houses. Apart
from St. Paul, Union Pacific, Atchison and
Southern Pacific showed notable strength.
The traders at first were inclined to sell
AtchiSon owing to the unfaVOrable nature
of the government crop report, but they
soon realized that their sales were taken
by good people, and when they changed
their position and started to cover, the
stock advanced easily. Amalgamated Cop
per, which was strong at the opening, be-
came rathey heavy and dull during the
afternoon on what looked like liquidation.
Any anxiety over the money situation has
practically disappeared. Lenders are will
ing to make time loans rather freely,
whereas for the last month time loans were
scarce. The reason for the changed sit
uation is to some extent that the ship
ments of currency are now showing a fall
ing off.

DIED IN THE HARNESS.
Dramatic Phase of the Death of Jere
NJ. Wilson.
Washington Star.

Perhaps the most dramatic moment of all
the circumstances about the recent death
of Mr.. JCre NJ. Wilson, who died in the
midst of the activities Of a busy life. oc-
Cured in connection with his duties as
president of the Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Company. He had been occu-
pied the day before his death in preparing
some matters that were to come before the
meeting Of the board Of directors. which
was to be held the next day. Early that
morning a telephone message was received
at the office of the company from Mr.. VIII
son stating that he had been sick during
the night, and that he did not feel strong
enough to attend the meeting. When the
other members OF the board reached the
office and learned OF the message from the
president it was decided to go to the rooms
OF Mr.. Wilson and hold the meeting there.
This was accordingly done. and after q
session of about fifteen minutes the board
adjourned 10 meet again in the office of
the company. The members went at once
to the office and resumed the meeting. but
before it was cOncluded-and ii did not last
t~hree-quarters of an hour-a message was
received announcing the death of the man
from whom they had just parted.
The shock was a severe one TO all. and
before the board finally adjourned apDro-
pirate resolutions We're adopted. In this
way IS illustrated graphically the sudden
ness of the event. Before the meeting
over which Mr.. Wilson presided had adj
Journed action was taken relative to his
death.

UNION STOCKYARDS. INDIANAPO-
LIS, Oct. MISUNDERSTANDING, 100; ship
ments, 500. The receipts of cattle thus far
this week show an increase OF nearly COO
over the same time last week and 300 over
the corresponding time q year ago. The
receipts to-day were comparatively liberal,
showing an increase OF about 200 over the
same time last week and 200 over a year
ago. AS usual for some time past a very
large proportion Of the arrivals were IN
desirable cattle-that is, they were hardly
fat enough to meet the requirements OF
butchers and the quality was not such as
to attract the attention Of feeders. The
market opened with most regular buyers
in the field. but there was rather an in
different demand from all sources. and
early it was evident that there would be a
dull trade. 1t is possible, that there was
more discrimination against the better class
of stock than heretofore this week and
there were very few instances that sales
men believed they got steady prices. The
decline was uneven, but generally con-
sidered at least 10c to 15c on good stock and
as much as &c on others. Sales included
cattle averaging 1900 to 1850 pounds at $3.50
@5.75. There were no heifers reported
above 81, and the top for COWS was also 81.
but there were no fancy female cattle here.
