4 BIG DEAL EXPECTED YET.
THE RUMORs ABOUT METROPOLITAN AND
BROOKLYN RAPID TRANSIT.

While there were no developments yesterday
affecting Metropolitan and Brooklyn Rapid
Transit both stocks continued notably strong
and active. although yielding to some extent
late in the day in common with the list in
general. Brooklyn Rapid Transit. which closed
on Tuesday at 6SA.. opened yesterday at 50 and
sold steadily up to a. The close was at b91s,
n net gain for the day of = per cent Metro
politan opened :. of a point up, at 16i, ad-
vanced to 1851 and closed at 1866, net decline
of !. per cent. This stock has had a II point
rise in the last week, and its steadiness at the
present level Is regarded by Wall Street as
pretty good corroboration of the reports that 1t
Is soon to figure In important deal of some
nature The concurrent activity and stability
OF Brooklyn Rapid Transit is taken by the most
competent observers in the Street to be some
thing more than a mere coincidence. being be-
leved to foreFhadow an announcement at
not distant day of the leasing of that property
to the Metropolitan Street Railway Company.
Expressions OF admiration heard in the
party in putting forward President Vreeland
10 voice their satisfaction with the new city
administration. The prospects OF the Metropoi-
tan company generally conceded to be all
that Mr.. Vreeland describes them. but Wall
Street finds cultivation of the memory
sary factor In the conduct of its business and,
in weighing President Vreeand's declaration
that there - nothing In the current rumors
OF an alliance between the Metropolitan and the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit or the Mania ttan. the
memory goes back without effort his
declaration less than two years ago about Third
Avenue, and what happened fortnight
later.
