The New York Stock Market
Opens BuOyantIy.
Union Pacific Shows a Gain of
$47 Over Low Point.
PRICES ARE HIGHER
Throughout the List Than They
We're Friday.
Development in Northern Pacific
Anxiously Awaited.

New York, May 13.-Under reassuring
news from London to the effect that a
basis of settlement with the Northern
Pacific shorts had been agreed upon and
that J. P. Morgan was lending the stock
fiat for delivery in that market, the
New York stock exchange began bust
ness today strong.
The first trading was well distributed
throughout the list, and was at prices
generally higher than the close on Fri
day. Union Pacific sold at 116 few
minutes after 10 o'clock, showing a gain
of $40 a share as compared with Thurs
days low point.
Developments in Northern Pacific are
awaited with the keenest interest, but it
was the general opinion in Wall street
today that it would be sometime before
the question of control would be defin-
itely settled. 1t is believed that one
party to the controversy holds control
through the preferred stock and that
several intricate legal points are involV-
ed concerning the right of the directors
of the company to retire the preferred
stock at par and thus deprive it of its
voting power.
The heavy buying of Union Pacific
which up to the present has not been
explained was continued today and dur
ing the first half hour of trading the
price rose on large transactions to 1913
The rise in Union Pacific was accom-
panied by a similar but not as extensive
a movement in Anal lgamated Copper
which after opening at 116sz, sold up
1909, an advance Of 5%, as compared
with Fridays close. 1t subsequently de-
clined to 11S1s
There were selling orders in Union
Pacific above 120 and the stock fell back
to 1161z, but an immediate rally fol-
lowed Toward noon the market be-
came quieter and weaker and generally
declined on small transactions. There
was no sale of Northern Pacific COM
mon until 11:3o when a sale of 100
shares was made at 16O, an advance of
10 points from fridays last sale
