il seems probable that such board as
the Cne suggested might lie allowed or
requested to take up the entire situation,
with a view to bringing about the big
harmony plan that the important inter
ests are supposed TO have at heart as Il
final cOnsummation. Yesterday the rumor
was that Union Pacific. Northwestern,
st. Paul and Southern Pacific will all be
grouped on the one side in negotiations
for d deal. and Northern Pacific, Great
Northern and Burlington on the other
side. This story had nothing to do with
the arbitration rumor, but might be true
at the same time nevertheless. Union
Pacific, St Paul Southern Pacific and
Northwestern were the most buoyant Sc
curities on the list yesterday afternoon
whatever the truth as to the deal sit
uation may be st. Paul jumped up to
above 10. Southern Pacific to above 81.
and Union Pacific to above 102. These
prices are the best of recent weeks. The
buying was very large and either for in
side interests or for a very strong and
very confident pool.
Chicago and Great Western was one
of the features of the market, selling UP

whispered that party of important rail-
way people have been making an inspec-
tion of the property preparatory to MAX
ing bid for it for one of the biggest IN
terests already established in the Western
railway field, and that their bid is likely
to he accepted. The buying of the stock
was large. 1t is quite possible that the
movement may have been due to pool
manipulation. as it is certain that this
stock must be active always when there
is talk of an adjustment of the Western
railway situation. The Great Western oc-
cupies such an important position that
1t cannot be ignored.
