ANOTHER EXCITING DAY AMONG STOCKS Southern Merger Plan Has At- tracted Much Attention  OPERATIONS CONGESTED Speculation Yesterday In Trunk Lines and Pacific Railroad Stocks Was
 vloIent-pisposltlon to
 Take Profits.
OPERATIONS CoNGESTED

New York. February 25.-The stock market was thrown Into excitement again foday by the violent speculation in the trunk lines and Pacific railroad stocks, and there was a full revival of the speculative enthusiasm of the earlier part of the week, which was chilled by the break of Thursday, consequent upon the feverish movement in the southern iron stocks.
 A glance at today's sales list will dis close how highly congested were the op- erations in the few speculative leaders of the day, and a study of the day s net changes reveals that emotional phase of the trading was not so overwhelming as to preclude a thrifty disposition to take profits on a very large scale in numerous stocks, while the advantage offered and of the sustaining effect of the dominant movement.
 Rumors and intimations save circulated for many weeks in Wall street that the control of New York Central, Chicago and Northwestern and Union Pacific was being worked out to condition of per feet harmony, if not of identity. The belief in the substantial basis for the Central project, pointed to by this cloud of rumors was the professed basis for the excited buying today of the stocks concerned. The new variation of the story was the inclusion of Pennsylvania in Me benefits of the project by an agree ment with New York Central for the division of spheres of operations. It will be seen that in its general line the report follows existing relations amongst the properties concerned.
 The consequence of the movement was a price during todays trading of 1601a for New York Central, 144% for Pennsyl- vania 137R for Union Pacific, and 249 for Chicago & Northwestern. There are gains elsewhere in the list reaching a point in some cases, but there are also small declines as the result of the heavy realizing of the day and Union Pacihc itself closed unchanged from last night.
 The bank statement was regarded as favorable and rallied the market from it's considerable reaction, but the closing was irregular The decrease fin the loan item of the banks is attributed to the taking over of loans by the trust com panies, and to transfers due to the lend- ing of foreign banking houses. The ac- tual volume of credits has expanded un- occasionally during the week on account of the large operations in the bond mar ket Total sales of bonds. par value, s3,410,O00
 The speculative spirit has run high during the week, notwithstanding the in- terruption of the midweek holiday. The buoyant closing on Tuesday was taken up on Thursday morning and the market showed many signs of the growing share fin the trading by the outside public. Hopes were lifted of speculative boom,

such as Is brought about by widespread craze amongst the population at large, infected with an enthusiasm to buy. The cumulative effect of such spirit at the rare intervals when 1t Is thoroughly aroused, is many fold greater than the most skilfull operations of small or ganized parties of great wealth and ex- perience, and is the only condition that can be looked to to produce what is called runaway market
 It is the condition which has been hoped for by the organized operators who have been responsible for the greater part of the dealings in stocks for a long time past. Ordinary considerations of in- trinsic values and calculations of rela- tive values, or technical conditions based on preceding rise in prices make for little when such a spirit is thoroughly aroused. The violence and extravaganza of some of the movements reached such proportions to beget suspicion and uneasiness,. and the result was a check and setback on Thursday.
 Attention has centered largely on the group of southern iron and steel stocks. The convulsive movements in these stocks have been caused by the working of a plan to secure control of the properties and to merge them. The actual details of this plan and the steps toward it's accomplishment have been obscure and subject to much conflicting rumor. The counter claims put out from time to time led to the fear that they were based on purchases from sellers who were not in possession of holdings to deliyer-in other words, that a corner Lad resulted with large uncovered short interest in the stocks. With the vivid recollections of the effects on the market of the Northern Pacific corner in mind, 1t was natural that this fear should weigh on the market Other centers of special attention were Union Pacific and On- tario and Western, both of which stocks were subjects of vague rumors of im- portant developments to come.

Lovenan ( Co.'S Market Letter.

by II. o D. Beer.
 The market closed about the lowest of the week. 7.26. with May. compared with 7,64 last Saturday. The more, favorable weather in the belt during the past few days changed sentiment somewhat, and receipts assumed much larger proportions. Liverpool transacted an exceptionally good business during the last six days, selling 6S0o0 bales of American against a,0OO last year. but as they have the stock to spare, 8f5,000 American, compared with 53i,000 one year ago. and afoat at sea of 10000 against 114O00, the large local demand there had but little influence upon the market.
 Quitting Liverpoors statement the weekly statistical reports favored short side of accounts. For the first time in a long while the movement for the week run larger than last year. 10000 against 1900 and although English spinners' takings were s4.00O compared with 72.0oO one year ago, spinners Of other parts of the world only accepted 165,000 against 225. 900 last year; New England's takings amounted only to 26,000. compared with 6,000 for same week last year.
