NEW YORK STOCK GOSSIP-Report-
ed by Fl. Holbert & Son-The Northern
Pacific matter still hangs fire, and we do
not advise the general purchase of stock
until the interests concerned have ad-
Justed their differences. The bond mar
ket continues strong, and if anyone is
determined to take an interest in this
market and not to wait the purchase of
Baltimore & Ohio convertible 4 per cent
bonds and of Union Pacific convertible is
should carry but little risk, for while
at present prices they make a reasonable
return upon the money invested they
will also enable the purchaser to partic-
ipate in an advance in shares of either
of the companies mentioned. As to
American Can securities, while we are
not in position to advise you definitely
as to the companys earnings and future
prospects, at the same time from our
knowledge of those in a position to
know, we do not hesitate to recommend
you to hold your stock, and believe both
the common and preferred shares will
within short time see much higncr
