NEW PENNSYLVANIA STOCK.
Wall Street Capitalists Take the New
Issue.

New York, June 10.-It was reported
in Wall street Monday and and yester-
day that the underwriting syndicate OF
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company's
new stock issue had secured a PROPOSE
ton from an important group of CAPT
talists - supposedly the Gould Rookie
Teller interests--to buy the entire block
of new stock which the syndicate takes
over and above the amount not sub
scribed for by the shareholders. The
amount OF stock underwr! tten was ST5,-
100000. which, at 120. involves 100000
eco. The price at which ;he new inter-
est was said to be willing to take over
the property was al . slight advance
over 100. The syndicate is allowed a
commission of 2ia per cent on the en-
tire amount of the new stock issues.
No official statement vas forthcom-
ing as to the report from Speyer & Co.
or Kuhn. Loeb e Co. the syndicate
managers, but by a member of the SYM
dictate the statement was made that a
proposition, such as is outlined, had
been made in tentative way. The
names Of those making The offer We're
not disclosed. but the street inferred il
came from interests identified with the
Standard Oil party.
Attention was called to the fact that
IL such a transaction We're consum-
mated it would place in enc control the
largest individual block of Pennsylva-
MIA railroad stock AMI q sufficient
amount to have q powerful voice, IL not
effectually a controlling interest in the
corporation.
During the last few weeks a persist
ent rumor has been in circulation to the
effect that the Gould interests had Sc,
cured a controlling interest. or were
about to obtain such, in railroad line
that would give them an outlet to the
Atlantic coast. AT various times it has
been the Baltimore e Ohio, the Erie
and the Pennsylvania. In well in
formed circles it Is believed there must
be some ground for these rumors that
will not down, and it would be no sur
prise to hear at any time the definite
announcement that the much desired
outlet had been secured.
Members of the syndicate smiled
when questioned in reference to the re-
port. The syndicate 1t was said. could
not in honor entertain such a PROPOSE
ton. as they are operating for and on
behalf of the present Pennsylvania adj
and for the entire body OF

Potatoes Are Scarce.
Special to Times Republican.

Davenport, June 10.-With the old
potatoes pretty well out Of the market,
and with the new potatoes soaring in
price and cut off in supply, potato
famine is threatening. Yesterday the
tubers tokk jump of 25 cents u bushel
ir the Davenport market and the re-
ports indicate that the increase is gem
Hcral According to the commission
houses here the trouble lies in the fact
that communication for freight is prac-
tically cut off between this part of the
country and the southwest. where the
new potatoes on the market at this
time Of year come from. The high wa
ter had the effect OF stopping train4
and preventing raisers from hauling
their potatoes to market Meantime
the demand for the new potatoes has
increased in the usual manner in the
northern market with the result that
the stock on hand is being rapidly con-
sumed. The local dealers are of the
opinion, however, that the scarcity
will be relieved by the arrival of I'M
usally large shipments as soon as the
trains are running regularly again
from Texas and Arkansas.

DEBATE ON GRAIN TAX.
Considerable Interest Manifest in the
Discussion in Commons.

London, June 10.--Debate on the re-
peal of the grain tax was resumed to-
day in the house of commons. Sir
Charles Dixie, an advanced radical,
commended that the house had right to
demand an opportunity for pronouncing
Judgment on this important fiscal ques-
ton. He denied the protectionist coun-
tries were cutting out Great Britain
from the markets of the world.
Former Home Secretary Asquith de-
clared the reason for the abandonment
of the grain tax remained an "unsolved
and inscrutable mystery He described
the situation as politically indecent
and urged an explicit declaration of the
collective judgment of the cabinet in
regard to the larger questions of fiscal
policy.

French PILGRIMS Received.

Paris, June 10.-A dispatch to the
Temps from Rome says that the Pope )
reception to the French pilgrims was
due to the fear of the Vatican authors
ties that his failure to receive them
would cause exaggerated reports of his
i'll health. The correspondent adds that
the pontiff Is certainly weakening, but
he says that the pope continues on
foot, directs the affairs of the church,
with his accustomed clearness of mind,
and Discusses the affairs OF the original
missions with Monagnore SaveNi.
