CANADIAN PACIFIC
HILLS, IS RuM0R
Foreign Cables Have the Great
Northern President in Con-
troll Of Rival.
Journal Special Service.

Journal Special Service.
New York, Nov. 7.-,Coincident with
the departure of j. J. Hill for London,
cable messages have been received from
abroad to the effect that III. Hill and
j. P. Morgan have bought control Of
Canadian Pacific. The rumors may be
taken to account, in part, for. the
strength Of the stock, altho they prob
ably emanate from speculative pools.
If 1t were possible for Mr.. Hill to
secure control Of Canadian Pacific he
would thereby come to dominate the
railroad situation on this continent to
a degree never before dreamed of. He
traffic for. the northwest, Alaska and
Columbia. Col He would Practically s sive have
a double line across the continent and
would control trans Pacific traffic and
export traffic from the northwest, both
! toward the gulf and thru Boston and
northern ports. The 500 line, controlled
by. Canadian Pacific, is the greatest ex-
isting menace to the Hill lines.
Impossible to aainac Control.
In railroad circles, and more espe-
cially in Canadian Pacific circles, it is
believed to be impossible for either Mr..
Hill or any other American interest to
secure control Of Canadian Pacific.
| Inc TeSolutlOnS that under1e THIS be-
lief may be outlined as follows:
In addition to about $101, 100000 of
common stock there are outstanding
over $37,Oo0,oo0 of preferred stock
which may be increased to $50, 100000
at the will Of the directors. It would
be absolutely impossible to buy even a
livery small proportion Of this preferred
stock in the London market, which is
the only market where it is traded in.
i To buy control thru the common
stock 1t would be necessary to secure
over $70,OOO,000 of this stock.
i 1t is doubtful If any syndicate of
Il American bankers or railroads would
undertake to control the great Canadian

Bull Leader Is Silent.
Former Congressman Jefferson Levy
who lis generally credited with being
the leader Of the bullish forces in Can
: adian Pacific stock, declines to say a
; word when asked about a report thai

property had passed to the Morgan-Hil
interests.
