STOCKS CLOSE FIRM
Southern Pacific Financial Plan
AbSOrbS all Interest

The stock market yesterday was cen
tered in the announcement made WedneS-
day by the Southern Pacific. Room trad
erS We're inclined to censure the Harri-
man crowd for their plan to finance the
cOmpanyS Indebtedness Stocks sold off
at the opening. but the close was firm
and dull.
O'Connor & Van Bergens New York
correspondents say of the market:
Watson & CO.-The principal and only
topic in the various Wall street houses
posed plan offered by Southern Pacific to
finance its Indebtedness. Although no
official announcement has yet been made,
the street has evidently taken II for grant
ed on about the lines already given. There
IS a great diversity of opinion as to the
ultimate results of the plan to holders of
Southern Pacific around present prices,
the general run of commission house hab-
itueS referring in not very complimentary
terms to those responsible for the propo-
Sition on grounds given earlier. Others
advise waiting before passing iudg-
ment until the officials announcement
statement, being in view of the high
standing of the parties controlling the Sit
uation, they would not propose a scheme
prejudicial to the interests of the mi
nority holders, whose money has been eX-
pended in the vast Improvements now
nearly completed. The activity created
Wednesday by the announcement of the
above relapsed into a firm dullneSs. kind
of waiting for further news attitude. The
Lake Shore statement and cutting of
temporary disturbing effect. The trad
ing for foreign account was perhaps a lit
tie more active, principally sales of
Van Emburg & Atterbury-Our open
ing market was irregular and unsettled.
with interest centered chiefly in Union
Pacific and Southern Pacific stocks The
latter was under. pressure, being freely
sold by London and room traders, but
supporting orders rallied the price after
an initial decline of about / per cent.
Elsewhere the market was quiet, with an
improving tendency, though without espe-
ciaI feature, except in Consolidated Gas.
which advanced on limited buying for
both accounts. The Southern Pacific plan
as unofficially announced Wednesday,
monopoIzed the discussion and was very
freely criticized pending official investiga- :
! ton In the last hour the feature was
found in scarcity of stocks for sale, but
demand was in too small volume to ad-
+ vance prices materially, and the close
was dull and firm. with price changes in
general fractiOnally above Wednesday
night.

NEW YORK. June 16.-Speculative sem
timent continued much unsettled today by
the proposed preferred stock issue by
Southern Pacific. The feverish tone of
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific in the
early dealings kept traders out of the
general market, and those two stocks al
most monopolized the trading. When
they settled down to about last nights
level the rest of the market took on a
better tone and was inclined to advance
slowly on light transactions. Opinions
We're greatly mixed over the relative ben
efits of burdens to Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific of the preferred stock
issue Union Pacific's double role
of stockholder and creditor of South
ern Pacific is the principal cause of con-
fusion. AS creditor, it's advances to the
subsidiary company are to be paid off by
portion of the new preferred stock and
by the proceeds of the subscription AS
stockholder the claims of Southern Pa
-cific stock upon earnings are to be super
seded by the per cent rights of the new
preferred stock.
Union Pacific was somewhat erratic in
the early dealings in accordance with
these uncertainties regarding benefits to
accrue. The stock sold B under last night
of opinion over the effect of the plan upon
Southern Pacific, and traders We're in
clined to sell that stock. The buying was
attributed to supporting measures by in
