A RUMOR AS TO SOUTHERN.
Speaking of Southern Railway, the fol-
lowing WAS sent over the ticker yester-
day:
The activity and compare tive strength
of Southern hallway shares is significant.
1t is highly, probable t;sat before the close
of the present year Il combination will
be made that will have decidedly bene-
fetal influence not only on Southern
Railway but likewise on Chesapeake and
Ohio and Pennsylvania. 1t viii be well
we think for You to give something more
than mere passing attention to these
properties.
The prediction may be thought extrav-
agant, but people who stand very close
to Mr.. ]. P. Morgan aver that little
Southern" will sell at Is within a year
and at par within two years
:INDUSTRIALS HIGHER.
The activity yesterday extended even to
the industrials and some of them We're
higher. notably United States Steel. COM
mon and preferred, and American Can.
Can common sold at IS IA and the pre-
ferred at &c. Locomotive preferred was
also strong and sold at 81 ga. There
seemed to be a better demand, for To
bacco As the last sale being made at
6+ rs 1t should also be mentioned that
Atchisoni common, was ona OF the favor
! ties among the railroads and had a-stiIl
further advance" There was some reac-
ton in the market, however. toward the
close, due doubtless to rroit taking.

Oil Company have declared their regular
per cent. dividend "a .ln preferred
