 Up But None Selling,

Hartford, Jan 24.-Thcrc is 20. ViVai Of talk about the purchase of the local trolley company by the Con. solldated Railway Co, the hoIdiny company owned by the New York New Haven X Hartford. It is no so, vret that the big road wants to huv tue Hartford company. It occupies o s,rateslcal position on the railroad map, is in q fine district. has snlen. oid pus'ness and. according to com. mon opihlon. could earn more money With the same amount of coal and Ia. DOT. The story has broken ont again .nat purchase is at hand It is true ''''t TOT several weeks there has been an a tive demand for the stock. but nose ln position to know say there nave been no sales. It is stock that IS seldom sold. There are transfers occasionally in settlement of estates but nobody who owns the stock do. sires to Sell out.
 The demand has not been mot Inv any corresponding sale. An ofTicio, of me company said yesterday that Ira Was absolutely ignorant of any reason TOT me demand except the general be- ,'et mat some time the property would be sold; presumably when that was uohe It would he at better figure man al present is quoted. The prices HolliInallv attached to Hartford Streot railroad stock have been sav from oIO to 22I. -"
 report went about when tbe Iorye road began buying to the effect Una. me manasers of the local road want. cd d'N for their stock: it was also r,,. ported that this was re"arded as pro. llllltory. X director of the steam road was quoted n while ago as saving. they would buy at 200 any time: hern- | ahmhts II was assumed that bc was ,hikihg throil"h his hat. The p,.,y,iJ- m" notion is that when an acreeman, IS reached it will Inc at oJ0 to 3oO p"vablc in Consolidated debanturos "I"s or Is as may he dctarmined. II would ba idle for the local peopie to | deny that they know the steam peopi, want their Droperrv. and it is saf., fu say that tiIe steam neople have 2 pr.t- [" d"'nit' idea of how tbo l,ooks of ih" H"rtfor'' eoInDanv look.
