GOULD AF TER TWO
RAILROADS
Blu, ing Heavily of Southern
Pacific and Union Pa
CifiC Stocks

New York, March 23.-Nearly half
a million shares of Union and South
ern Pacific were dealt in on the street
today, amid tremendous excitement
The movement recalled the deal in
Northern Pacific prior to the forma-
ton of the great merger. recently de-
clared illegal by the sup. eme court.
The movement at first was decidedly
bullish, prices holding slightly above
the quotations of yesterday. which
marked an advance OF eight dollars a
share. Under heavy profit taking the
prices fell off a little at the close and
the session ended with p ices unset
tied and feverish. The dealings in
other railway shares were heavy.
The great excitement is causing
much comment in the street. BY some
the movement is regarded as being en-
ginee ed by the Gould interests seek
ing heavy holdings in the Southern
and Union Pacific lines. to secure
through service from the Atlantic to
the Pacific.
That Gould is determined to secure
a California outlet for his lines is
known absolutely hefe. During his
recent trip west the great railway
magnate was more than ever i'm
pressed with the boundless possibil-
ties of the far western country and re-
turned here with the dese-mir ation to
no longer delay in forcing his great
system into that territory. Gould has
become an enthusiast on the que-tion
of irrigation. especially in the country
between Salt Lake and the Sierras,
and 1t is along this line that his name
is linked with the present heavy deal
ings in Southern and Union Pacific.
