RuMoR PUT TO SLEEP.

Pipe Dreams OF ST. Louis Dalies Dis
PEELED by the Cold Clammy Facts.
Chicago special states that there Is in
tense rivalry between great financial In
terests for the control OF the Chicago and
Alton, and -thnt the Gates.M Moore clique is
beginning a campaign for the control of
that road. The motive for this midsummer
campaign Is the alleged unfair treatment
Of the Chicago, Rock island and Pacific
by the Southern Pacific In traffic agree
ments. The story goes on TO say that If
the Gates crowd secures control of the
property they will be In a position to die
tate terms to the Southern Pacific ami
secure for the Rock Island all desired con
cessions-in other words that Gates Will
have the southern Pacific where he had
the Louisville and Nashville some time ago,
and that he planned the capture of the
Alton ms a quicker way of bringing the
Hartman interests to time than by build
Ing road to the coast, all OF which must
be received with several large grains of
salt.
A representative of The Post interviewed
a number of well Informed railroad men
in Houston yesterday and can state upon
the best authority that the story is unre
liable. 1t seemed to be the consensus of
opinion In Interested circles yesterday that
uIe author of the statement frequently dips
his fountain pen In the red fires Of the
aurora and carlcatures the news OF the
day. The Alton ana the Southern Pacific
are said to be ON the best OF terms. If the
impossible situation thus described was
true, the Alton is not the only road avail
able. So far rs that is concerned the South
ern Pacific might connect wl,I the Chicago,
burlington and Quincy, or the Frisco and
its numerous connections and get in with
out trouble either through 81. Louis or
New Orleans. 1his was apparently the
first intimation of friction between the
Southern Pacific and the Rock Island. To
all appearances they are working as har-
enormously MS possible.
General Passenger Agent Firth of the
Rock Island was In Houston the other
day and WAS delighted with existing condi
lions as relating to the passenger traffic
of the two roads. There Is no friction
short line to California. The Rock island
uses the Southern Pacific depot at III Phso
and the two roads are apparently as init
mate as friends can be.

there is a scarcity of holdings in the in

relatively the highest of any market.
The values prevalent should certainly be
an incentive for holders to ship cotton

will do so if the present differences exist
much longer. Sentiment continues bull
ish. but outsiders are not eager to follow
the advance for the moment. However,
the chances are that any new or favor

attract them to receipts and the spot de-
mand will continue to be the principal
factor in regulating prices.
