CURRENT NEWS AND GOSSIP
OF INTEREST TO INVESTORS

London comes dull and heavy with
most OF our stocks fractionaIly lower. A
further sharp break OF a in eonsols on
renewed liquidation in anticipation OF an
early issue OF new London council
loan approximating $40 OOO. 600. and con-
tinued tight money has had a bad in
fuence on general market sentiment.
General sentiment is still inclined TO
be bullish aud most traders are dispos-
ed 20 look for further rise in prices on
slightly easier money conditions and
gradual subsistence OF labor troubles and
belief that the largest market interests
are anxious to see the market improve
and outsiders again come in.
II looks as though there may be con-
tinued good trading market this week.
but IL will continue narrow on the whole
and still mostly professional. and trad
ers should be satisfied with small
profits. as most of the short interest has
been covered, and that really furnished
the principal impetus to the recent ad-
vance.
There was little borrowing demand for
stocks in the loan crowd Saturday out
side a fair inquiry for Pennsylvania.
New York Central and Metropolitan.
Southern Pacific alone continued in good
demand and it's IOaning rate was at 2
per cent. while any quantity of the other
stocks could be borrowed at the prevail
ing call money rate or renewed on. that
basis.
The subtreasury statement this morn
| ing shows the banks lost Saturday $144.-
900 in cash. in operations through IT,;
since Friday. 1891. 900.
Professional traders are inclined to
look for higher prices. but the two
drawbacks to a higher market are Sc
rious conditions in lasor circles. and
scarcity of money.
The announcement Of the Frisco deal
| is expected tomorrow or Wednesday.
Rumors of a Mexican Central Rock ISL
and deal are denied.
The report is revived that the Unit
ed States Steel Company Will get the
Jones & Laughlin works. Then Steel
and Tennessee Coal and Iron will go
higher
| Reactionist sentiment In the room is
growing more pronounced on account
OF the absence OF any outside buy
/ ing and because the covering OF
the short interest is regarded as having
removed one OF the strongest supports
from the market. The selling pressure
has not been very heavy. and there has
been enough pool support and scat
tered buying TO absorb the offerings
with only fractional decline.
| Although what may be termed Of
fetal information is still lacking. dis
patches from Salt Lake City announce
! that the Hartman interests had turned
over to Senator Clark aad the San Pedro
Road that portion OF the Oregon Short
Line system south and west Of Salt
/ Lake. 1t may be remembered IL has

Ing his new line, the San Pedro. Los
Angeles and Salt Lake from San Pedro
and Los Angeles to Salt Lake. but by
the acquisition of that part or the Ore
gon Short Line mentioned he will need
10 build only to about UYada. near the
southwestern corner OF Utah and near
the Nevada line. The part of the Ore
gon Short Line acquired begins at Salt
Lake City, runs south to SpringvilIe,
some distance east OF Utah Lake. paral-
lei and very close to the Rio Grande
Western and then swings in south
west direction to Uvada. The line really
extends TO Calientes. Nevada. and this
may be the connect ting point with the
San Pedro.
The most interesting point in the
whole affair. however is the assertion
that the Gould interests will control
the combined line hereafter Although
this is asserted positively, and as
matter Of course apparently it is not
easy TO see the foundation for it. The
Gould interests do not control the San
Pedro and certainly they have no say
In the disposition of the Oregon Short
Line. Another question that arises is
whether the Union Pacific interests
would transfer a part of, the Oregon
Short Line to the San Pedro, knowing
that the combination was TO be made
