NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-The stock
market was thrown into excitement
again today by the violent speculation
in the trunk lines and Pacific railroad
stocks and there was full revival of
the speculative enthusiasm of the ear
llerpart Of the week, which was chilled
by the break of Thursday consequent
upon the feveriSh movement in the
southern iron stocks.
A glance at todays sale list will dis
close how highly congested were these
operations in the few speculative Lead
ers of the day and study of the days
net changes reveals that emotional
phase of the trading was not so over
whelming as to preclude a thrifty dis
position to take profits on a very large
scale in numerous stocks.
Rumors and intimations have circu-
lated for many weeks in Wall street
that the control of the New York Cen
trail, Chicago & Northwestern and
Union Pacific was being worked to a
condition of perfect harmony, If not of
identity. The belief in the substantial
base Of the Central project pointed to
by this cloud Of rumors was the pro-
fessed basis for the excited buying to-
day of the stocks concerned. The new
variation of the story was the inclusion
