HEAVY GAIN IN ROCK ISLAND

New York. August s.-Efforts were
made today to shift speculative inter-
ests to new quarters of the market. The
opening dealings allowed the glamour of
the supposed plan for merger Of South
ern trunk line railroads had taken hold
upon the Imagination of the speculative
world and most of the stocks which
were violently affected yesterday started
off on a fresh upward movement today.
But 1t also became very evident that the
movement was over running itself. Either
the desire to take profits or the BELIEF
that prices had been lifted to above the
intrinsic value of stocks led to prompt
reactions in Louisville and Nashville, I'LL
nois Central and conspicuously In Hook
ing Valley. The last named stock not only
lost its opening rise of this morning but
all of yesterdays sensational gain as
we'll The reaction was not so violent In
other stocks, although Rock Island de-
veloped a heavy tone and Colorado Fuel
became weak with considerable senti-
ment upon the general list.
It cannot be said that the reaction In
the southern group materially altered
the general conviction of the street that
important developments are impending
regarding the group. The difficulty en-
countered by Louisville and Nashville IN
its advance above $50 was attributed to
the fact that that is the figure at which
the option is supposed to be held by j..
Pierpont Morgan & Co, to buy the con-
troll of the road Some Of the largest
selling of the Southern trunk lines was
by brokers usually employed by the spec
,tIa xzyhn n
ed 'bullishness" was forerunner Of
yesterdays violent advances.
Probably some disappointment was felt
because the official announcement of the
acquisition of the Chicago and Eastern
Illinois by the st. Louis and San Francis
co contained no reference to the further
projects which are supposed to lie back
of that operation.
In fact no official countenance could be
secured from any source of yesterdays
many rumors. The belief was held that
this and other important projects may
have to await the return of j. P. Nor
gan, now on his way here from Europe.
Amongst the new points OF Strength the
most conspicuous and influential was
that in the Erie stocks No reason was
forthcoming for their advance beyond a
revival of the old rumors of large hold
ings in the property of ]. ]. Hill and
plans for it's improvement by that CAPT
talist. The rise In amalgamated copper
seemed to be purely speculative IN Its
origin. Other points of strength were the
Colorado and Southern stocks, Texas and
Pacific and number of minor stocks.
The banks have not gained enough from
the interior to Offset the drain to the
sub treasury, and a poor bank return is
indicated. This and the holiday prompted
to realizing late in the day and the clos
ing WAS dull and irregular.
