The buoyancy of Union. Pacific was
presumptiye evidence of the safe
guarding of the advantage secured to
that company by its controlling inter-
est in Northern Pacific before the
merger. There were some alarmist
rumors circulated at one time that the
contest for control In the transconti-
mental field was being reopened by the
dissolution of Northern Securities. The
market closed without any announce
ment to clear away the days mystery,

ally believed that it would be made

ket was purely sympathetic and ran
from a fraction to 2 points, the last
named figure being slightly exceeded in

unchanged. Until the enormous buy
ing of Union Pacific developed, the
market was inclined to extend yester-

DIRECTORS FORMALLY
ADOPTTHE PLAN

The new plan was formally adopted
at meeting of the directors which be-
gan in the morning and lasted until
we'll into the afternoon There were
present at this meeting President Hill,
George F. Baker, William P. Clough,
Edward H. Hartman, D. Willis James,
Daniel S. Lamont, John S. Kennedy.
George w. Perkins, N. Terhune and
one or more other directors.
Throughout the day, when Northern
Securities shares were booming on the
curb and its affiliated stocks and the
Pacifies, chiefly Union Pacific, were
advancing by leaps and bounds on the
Stock Exchange, the air was full Of
rumors, some of them of an alarming
character.
Dealings in Union Pacific common
aggregated over .49sp per cent Of the to-
tai outstanding issue. 1t was declared
in various quarters that the Hill-Mor-
gan party had for some reason deemed
it necessary to buy heavily into this
stock. The belief in this rumor was
heightened by the fact that brokers,
who often represent Morgan interests
on the exchange, We're heavy buyers Of
Union Pacific all the way up
Large amounts of Southern Pacific
shares also changed hands. and sales
of Great Northern preferred, while the
floating. supply is yeryssmaal, amounted
to 1000 shares. In the bond division,
Oregon Short Line As Union Pacific
convertible As and Burlington As were
in demand at substantial advances.
After the close of the market a long
conference was held lat the Office of

PLAN. Mr.. Morgan and his partners had
mo comment to make, but Mr.. Morgan
seemed pleased with the days events.
AT the banking house of Kuhn Loeb
& Co., the chief financial hackers Of
the 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
verified. The street heard that Hill
Morgan interests would be given rep
resentation in the Union Pacific road
in return for which Union Pacific in
terests would be asked to take place
in the Northern Pacific directory.
Sales of Union Pacific common ag-
gregated over forty thousand shares at
a net advance of 81 points, Southern
Pacific was traded in to the extent of
over $4,000 shares, gaining net ~
points. The advance in the 1000 shares
of Great Northern preferred was 7A
points. All the Pacif1cs, in fact the
general market, went higher with the
boom in the Northern Securities stock.
On the curb Northern Securities made
a net gain of points on sales of about
% 900 shares. The stock touched SO Is

process of its dissolution. All the Sc
curities related to that company and
it's interests made free price move
ments. But as Union Pacific is the
only one of them in liberal supply in
the market, the bulk of the activity
was in that stock and it was furious
ly active on dealings in 1000 to 5000
share blocks.
The source of the buying as well as
it's motive was kept obscure. Bankers
associated with the finances of the
company emphatically disclaimed any
part in the buying or any knowledge
of it's cause, and were, in fact, sellers
with some Ostentation of the stock at
it's higher price levels. Great North
ern preferred and on the curb North
ern Securities were In eager demand
on rapidly rising price scale. Other
stocks concerned in the Northern Sc
curities merger have disappeared from
the market, but the Oregon Short line
participating As, which are secured by
the Union Pacif1c's Northern Securities
stock as collateral and the Burlington
joint As, which were exchanged for
Burlington stock, were active and
higher.
The fact that lawyers representing
the various interests We're IN constant
consultation to work out the method
for distribution Of the Northern Secu-
rites holdings under the decree of the
court pointed to that as the coming
event. Todays price movement SEEM
ed to point clearly to an arrival at
some conclusion on this point, but the
news did not disclose what it was. The
principal question in public discussion
of this problem has been whether
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
stock should be redistributed to the
holders from whom the Northern Sc
curities received 1t or to present hold
ers of Northern Securities in proper

At the present time when sleeves are
such an important part Of gown,
much time and thought must be de-
voted to their design if one desires to
have a truly smart costume.
There are so many models of all de-
scriptions, ranging from quite simple
affairs to most elaborate ones, that
the selection of an appropriate sleeve
is no easy matter, and naturally unless
the sleeve is suited to the gown the
effect of the whole is spoiled.
Cloth walking suits are made gener-
ally with rather plain sleeves of me-
dunn size and of a bishop or haring
bell model, and if the gown Is at all
dressy there are undersleeves or wrist
ruffies of lace or chiffon.

GOSSIP FROM GOTHAM.

Why is it that on the infrequent oc-
casions when fashionable awomen clap
their hands at a play or concert they
do it in such fashion that one feels sor-
ry for the feeble effort? The common
supposition is they are afraid of injur-
ing their gloves, but a less generous
observer says, "a woman either thinks
applause is vulgar or is too envious to
bestow such commentator" What
ever the truth of that view, it is GER
tain that hearty hand-clapping, given
as the outcome of genuine appreciation

she uses only the index finger to APP
