NEW YORK. March 3o.-There was practi-
cally no limit TO the surmise and conjecture with
which professional Wall street INDUCED itself
to-day the hidden significance of the ac-
emulation of Union Pacific stock. which has
been the mystery in the market now for many
days.
The favorite hypothesis the outset to-day
that the accumulation was in the interests
of the st. Paul interests. and it was asserted
with every appearance of conviction that
statement would shortly be forthcoming from the
st. Paul authorities that they had secured 100000
shares of Union Pacific.
What gave plausibility to this rumor was the
admitted anxiety felt by St. Paul interests at
the time of the Burlington purchase the
comparative isolation in which the st. Paul
system would be left. The making of surveys
looking to extension of the Union Pacific and the
proposition for the of s25.OoO.0O0 additional
st. Paul stock matters of public record.
1t is a matter of commoh notoriety also that
relations between ST. Paul and Union Pacific
in the interchange of traffic and of common own
ership of stock are already close. But the as
action by st. Paul presumes a similar necessity
on the part OF all the Pacific and transcontl-
mental railroad systems for a control of through
facilities from trunk line terminus on the

for such an interchange of ownership did not

Other factors had only small influence on the

Speculative confidence over the reliability Of
some of the stories current to account for the
rise was decidedly impaired as the day pro-
gressed and during the final hour the level of
prices touched represented cancellation Of
the best part of the earlier gains.
The persistent pressure upon Union Pacific
