BURLINGTON DEAL AFFECTED

BURLINGTON DEAL AFFECTED
NEW YORK. May s.-Dealing with
the relations OF things in the turmoil
of Wall street today, a financial writer
Of the Evening Post in news leader
saws:
THE Fundamental fact In the North
ern Pacific situation today was that the
Burlington deal Is placed in jeopardy
as matters stand at present. The Un-
lon Pacific interests. which We're alarm
ed at the danger to their property ly-
ing in Burlington control by the north
ern transcontinental line. have bought
enough Northern Pacific stock 10 pre-
vent the ratification OF the Burlington
purchase by ;he Northern Pacific share
holders unless some agreement Is made
with them which will protect their In
terests sufficiently.
THE corner resulted. II is said. from
Mr.. Keene's clever appreciation Of the
situation in the stock. the legitimate
demand for which had heavily reduced
the floating surplus. The corners sec
ondary aspect. though more spectacu-
lar to the public, is a movement of
ar-reaching consequences. possibly put
ting a stop to the plans for the great
est Of railroad mergers, upsetting Pres
ident Hill's ambitious plan to have the
Northern Pacific control the Burling-
toms operations.
The policy Of Kuhn. Loeb & Com
pany has been essentially one CT self
protection. There probably will now be
made a triangular agreement. with the
Union Pacific sharing control as we'll
as the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern under a modification Of the
burden Of guarantee.
Increases are attributed to Mr.
Keene, who. comprehending what was
actually going on and understanding
the large shortage, went into the mar
ke. and effected corner.
Hill, 1t was authoritatively stated
today, has not sold any OF his Northern
Pacific stock. His large interest was
acquired last summer. He said today:
I have not bought a share OF the
Northern Pacific in six months.
In reference to the reported differ
enees between the Hartman syndicate
