that it may be indicative OF impending
changes. That may or may not be so.
but. nevertheless. the future OF New
York Central and its allied lines is a
very interesting topic.
There are those who profess 10 see
something peculiarly significant in the
change In the directorate Of the Mis-
souri, Pacific, as effected at the annual
meeting held yesterday at St Louis.
The election Of John d. Rockefeller, jT.,
and z. Parmelee Prentice, is. of course.
the special point referred to. and the
inference seems to be that II presages
greater activity and personal interest in
railroad affairs in the future by the
Rockefeller interests. There is nothing
particularly surprising in the election
Of Mr.. Rockefeller to the directorate of
Missouri Pacific, inasmuch as il has
been known for a long time that the
Rockefeller holdings OF Missouri Pacific
were very large. The significance of T.
seems TO be in the fact that the election
means nothing more than an open an
nouncement Of the alliance. which has
been heretofore theoretically at least.
a secret. Some assert very poBitiycIy
that tho entrance OF the Rockefeller in
terests into active participation in rail
road affairs will make for peace. The
situation now IS peculiarly interesting.
in view of the rumOred antagonism be-
tween some OF the big interests west of
the Mississippi TO the expansion of the
Rock Island system.
In the first hour the market showed
almost no tendency to advance and IL
was merely a question Of holding the
firm early prices. There was a consist
ent and steady supply Of long stocks
but of moderate amounts and apparently
well taken care Of. The principal
strength was shown by Southern Pacific
where enough short covering developed
TO advance prices rs per cent in all.
On the other hand. there was a steady
supply of Missouri Pacific. coming
from scattering sellers The speeula-
ton in Amalgamated Copper hardly held
its own on account OF the enormous
offerings.
The fluctuations Of Metropolitan Street
Railway were remarkably narrow in
view Of sinister reports concerning the
company's finances. Its whole range was
less than 1 per cent and the price most
OF the time was a shade above the pre-
vious close. The Steel stocks were fat
The bond business during the morning
was rather fat. with low-priced specula-
tive issues In greater demand than sup
ply. London was a consistent buyer and
took in all fully 50. 900 shares.
This buying offset from the beginning
the current Liquidation. and apparently
was the element which toward noon
turned the course OF the market. Com
mission house business was still poor
but pool orders had been placed so ex-
tensively through the market that bro
kers were kept extremely busy up to the
noon hour. Southern Pacific was the
leader in this upward movement There
was a TumOr that the pool had reached
some agreement with the Union Pacific,
but this was not generally credited

VREELAND MAKES
INDIGNANT DENIAL
Charges Against Metropolitan lis
sue of FalSehood.

NEW YORK. March 11-John c.
Heitte. the expert accountant. when
seen today with reference TO a published
report that he had examined the books
Of the Metropolitan Street Railway Com
pany and had found many irregularities
and Inconsistencies. refused to verify or
deny the published account.
President VreeIand, OF the Metropoli-
tan Street Railway, makes the follow
ing statement:
The officers and directors OF the Met
ropolitan Street Railway Company have
for several weeks known all about the
so-called charges which were published
in the World this morning and the
efforts which have been made in many
quarters 70 secure their publication. The
charges originated with one William n.
Amory. a notorious character who was
secretary of the Third Avenue Railroad
Company when II went into the hands
Of receiver. Amory was discharged by
the receiver. and was refused employ
ment by the Metropolitan Company.
Ever since that time Amory has devoted
himself to malicious attacks upon my
company. Recently he has been the
willing instrument Of certain specula-
tors In Wall Street in their effort to
bear the stock Of the Metropolitan
Company and to extort large sums of
money as a condition to Withdrawing
their attacks.
I'VE have known all about the SOCIAL
ed charges filed in the office of the dis
trict attorney. 1 have furnished a state
ment 10 the district attorney which
shows that the charges are a tissue OF
falsehoods from beginning to end
The stockholders Of the Metropolitan
Company need have no anxiety regard
ing these charges. and they may be sure
that no effort will be spared to bring to
justice the authors Of the malicious and
criminal attacks which have recently
been made upon the Metropolitan Com
pany and its officers and directors"

The general market has shown a
steadier undertone since the opening
mostly on covering of shorts. and trad
ers inclined to anticipate some recov-
cry in anticipation of some news from
Washington in the course Of the day of
Treasury relief to the money market.
General sentiment is that the market
should have some rally, but no extensive
Improvement is looked for. and the gen
eral opinion on the board is that stocks
viii prove a sale again on any such ad-
vance.
The market cannot be expected to
show any material Improvement until
this money stringency is very material
ly relieved
Sentiment continues to be upset. The
money situation is not at all liked by
spectators. Some. however. believe the
pear market is nearing an end. Judging
by precedent, the elimination will be
accompanied by a sharp slump. follow
ed by occasional speciality drives to ia
cilitate short covering.
The apparent Indifference OF people
who are supposed to be in favor OF high

mean that they feel sure. IL sufficient
rope is given. the bears will eventually
hang themselves. as there is always a
reckless class of spectators who trail
after the leaders in every market move
