Number of Sharp Advances.

A number of stocks even made sharp ad-
vances, and the declines in the active is
sues were in no instance really active. The
most active movement in any partic-
ular stock took place in Tennessee Coal and
Iron, which advanced to new high record
figures carrying in its wake Sloss Sheffield
and Republic Iron and Steel. The facts with
regard to the situation relating to the prop
critics in the Birmingham district have been
previously set forth in this paper and were
today accorded greater publicity
1t was apparently the case that the syndi-
cate controlling the Tennessee Coal and
Iron Company and It's neighboring concerns
have acquired nearly 90 per cent of the
stock of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Com
pany, although part of their holdings may
be represented by contracts for delivery,
including short contracts.
Generally speaking, detailed comment
upon market movements would appear to
be unnecessary. In the railway list. the
exceptional strength of Kansas City South
ern and Missouri, Kansas and Texas. was
believed to reflect purchases designed to Sc
cure the control of those gulf lines in the
interest of the great grain carrying roads
of the northwest.
