MARKET VERY FEvERIsH.

In spite Of the better tone, however,
the market was very feverish and price
changes after the first squirt became
wide and erratlc There was much
doubt in the street as 20 whether the
decision Of the holders Of Northern Pa
ciiic to be easy with the shorts meant
more than temporary truce between
the conflicting interests. Many securi-
ties have sold at their high record
figures recently on the belief that they
would enjoy much benefit from one
or the other of the vast consolidation
schemes for which different railroad
managers were working and some hest
tation 10 buy was caused by fear that
the hostllitles developed during the
Northern Pacific contest might delay
indefinitely or prevent altogether the
plans for extensive combinations of
railroad capital under closely central
lied management.
