A HILL RAILWAY DEAL.
The FinaBcier Said to he Seeking

ST. PAUL. Mimi, April 26.-J. J. Hill
is credited with buying Wisconsin Central
for control to secure n St. Paul-Chicago
connection. Local spectators were very
active here today, getting Wisconsin Cen
trail ON tips that are said to have come
from the Hin circle Is is said that Mr..
Hill has long intended to take in the Wis
cousin Central, and only deferred the
transaction until the Burlington deal was
consummated. fearing that its acquisition
by him might hamper negotiations or
arouse strong opposition from ether
Chicago-St. Paul lines.
Wisconsin Central earnings have shown
great decrease during the last few
months and the seeming rush to buy this
stock is accounted for from supposed
knowledge of Mr.. Hill's intention to take
the property. which will need very little
effort. 1t is known that large interests
in Wisconsin Central have been in con-
ference with Mr.. Hill recently.

London is selling American securities
all the time. It is an argument of the
lie that London is buying but no one
that knows the facts pays any attention
to the higher prices that are quoted at

to purchase and put up prices have been

and there is no sufficient reason for be-

consideration. There are people fully
aware of the stupendous character of the
buying of the stock recently that never
theless assert their confident belief that
the only deal is a manipulative one to get
the price of the stock up and help the
