REPORT OF SALE
WAS PREMATURE
But Negotiations for Sale of
Mobile and Ohio are On
READING is AFFECTED
Wall Street Is Full of Rumors and
Wall Street Is Full of Rumors and
Speculation on Railroad Changes
and DeveIopments-Many
Are Puzzled.

New York, September 1S.-The principal
factor in the stock market today was the
admission by the banking house having
the transaction in hand that negotiations
were in progress for the sale to the Union
Pacific of the stock of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad recently sold by the PENN
sylvania railroad to the bankers. While
the sensation in the days market was in
the Reading movement, the Baltimore and
Ohio transaction was none the less the
impelling cause. This was so for the
reason that the division of control of the
Reading among the trunk line railroads
was managed in the case of the Pennsyl-
vania by placing holdings of Reading
stock in the Baltimore and Ohio treasury
as the New York Central on its part
placed Reading holdings in the Lake
Shore treasury.
With passing of control of Baltimore
and Ohio to other hands than the Penn
sylvania its share of influnece in the Read
Ing control would be affected also. Wall
street was mystifled as to the full bearing
OF the new arrangement and as to the ex-
tent to which the negotiation had actual
ly gone. Kuhn. Loeb & Co. asserted that
the report of the sale to the Union Pa
cifc was premature, while admitting that
It was under negotiation. Various prob
lens were thus presented for the consd-
Grafton Of the investor and the speculator.
1t was assumed that the Pennsylvania
would insure itself against harmful use
OF the control of the Baltimore and Ohio
before parting with 1t. But less certainty
was felt as to the possible attitude of
other trunk lines to the new arrangement,
especially in its bearing on the Reading
management The violent advance in
Reading aroused some apprehension that
a scramble might be going on amongst
the railroad powers to achieve a belated
readjustment of the balance in Reading
holdings.
It was held to be plausible also that in
fixing the destination for its holdings of
Baltimore and Ohio the Pennsylvania
might have been actuated by a policy of
hostility to the Gould project for thor
ough line from ocean to ocean as was
shown in the opposition to the Wabash
efforts to secure entry into Pittsburg. The
lurking possibilities of resentments and
harmful contests thus suggested, made
the Reading movement a damper rather
than a stimulus to the speculative con.
fdence.
The continued strength of the money
market also was a cause of dissatisfaction
in speculative circles and disappointed the
belief that the thrush of gold last week
and the continued arrivals by steamers
this week. had oeffec tually relaxed sthe
money stringency. Some further tighten
ing was looked for as the first of October
approached, but in the meantime easier
conditions were looked for. Not only was
the call money market hard today, with a
high rate of per cent, but the premium
on time loans was again advanced. The
