Securities shares were booming on the

vancing by leaps and bounds ON the
Stock Exchange, the air was full of
rumors, some of them CT an alarming
character.
Dealings in Union Pacific common
aggregated over 40 per cent of the
total outstanding issue. 1t was de-
clared in various quarters that the
Hill Morgan party had for some reason
deemed it necessary to buy heavily in
this stock.
The belief in this rumor was height
ened by the fact that brokers who often
represent Morgan interests in this ex-
change were heavy buyers of Union
Pacific all the way up.
Large amounts of Southern Pacific
shares also changed hands. and sales
Of Great Northern preferred. of which
the floating supply is very small.

Burlington fours were in demand at

Apparently in the best of spirits. Both
declined to make any statement be-
yond saying that perfect understand
ing had been reached all around.
At the banking house of Kuhn, Loeb

Hartman system of railroads, no
statement Of any sort was forthcom-
ing. A report that the firm had as the
Hartman representatives, received a
substantial cash bonus for agreeing to
the distribution plan could not be veri-
fed. The street heard that Hill Nor
gan interests would be given repre-
sentation in the Union Pacific road. in
return for which Union Pacific inter
ests would be asked to take a place
in the Northern Pacific directors.
Sales Of Union Pacific common ae
gregated over 100000 shares at a net
advance Of 81 points. Southern Pa
cific was traded in to the extent of
161 900 shares, gaining net 2sz points.
