Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. January 1I.-That the spec
ulative appetite would be whetted by a few
big deals is Indicated by the variety of deal
rumors and conjeetures in circulation and
the interest with which they are discussed.
One such mooted deal is said to involve the
retirement Of the Burlington joint per cent
bonds with new Great Northern and North
ern Pacific stock, valuable rights accruing
in the process. There is still the prospect of
increased disbursements in Great Northern
stock as a result of the lease of the rail-
roads ore lands.
Assertions are confidently made by certain
outsiders that the next dividend on Atchison
common will be at the rate of :, per cent
for the year. The road is probably earning
ABOUT twice the amount necessary to make
disbursements at that rate.
Ihere is not the least likelihood that the
pennsylvania railroad will part with it's
contfoi of the Cambria and PENNSYLVANIA
steer companies. The directors of the rail-
p Sau regard these properties among the
Aei'iissiNahla best Investments
ihere are some good bulls left Bartlett
FRAZIER & Darlington say: Our position
on the market has been comma ratiyely
clear. but We desire to make it absolutely
oennlte. We are bullish without oualifi-
cation for the long pull and we believe that
with stocks at their present level an op-
poFtutnty Is presented to secure good is
sues at prices that will bring big prof1ts
1here is some uneasiness felt concerning
possible gold exports, but we are advised
py the best posted financial interests in
ports they will be relatively small and will
nave very little effect on the monetary sit
uation
Good stocks will sell at very much higher
prices and we distinctly builish on
Union Pacific. New York Central, Pennsyl-
yania and Atchison, in the railroad list and
Amalgamated Copper, in the Industrial list
Will In our opinion also score substantial
advances. The Moroccan crisis is practi-
cally thing of the past and the prosperity
of the country is SUCH that its effect will
be felt with tremendous force in the stock
market. We know that much pessimism Is
being voiced because of the apparent high
prices for stocks, but taking the prices as
they are and measuring them with the
possibilities, we are supremacy optimistic"
The Lake Superior corporations, for the
first four months of the current fiscal year
as reflected in dividends and interest, re-
ceived from the subsidiary companies, ac-
cording to reports from Philadelphia, more
than 100000, which would be at the rate
of about 81 .0000 900 a year, or considerably
more than enough to pay the entire fixed
charges and full interest on the 100000
income bonds for the year, aggregating
$500, ITO of interest. 1t is said that the cor
poration expects to pay interest on the in
come bonds next autumn. but there is little
hope of a dividend upon the $40, coo 600 COM
mon stock, some of which has been out
standing for many years.

Interest in so-Called Hill Road


The course of these issues steadily tends
to corroborate the Impressions that are en-
tertained in important quarters that mat
tiers of great interest affecting the so-called
Hill roads will soon take place. or are al
ready in process.
st. Paul and Chicago and Northwestern
were firm, and Southern Pacific manifested
advancing tendencies on an accumulation of
stock that has been going on lately for
weli-informed account and continued today.
Eastern railroad stocks We're not to any
degree conspicuous in the dealings. but it
seems likely that western properties will
furnish enough developments in the coming
months to justify the speculative interest
that is being shown in them. The minor in
duStrtal shares were rather more conspicu-
Gus than those of greater Importance. but
the industrial quarter of the market, except
for the continued strength of Amalgamated
Copper, was rather overshadowed by the
movements in important railroad issues.
The Bank of England.
About the only item of intelligence that
could be cited as in part at least explana-
tory of the rather better temper of the
speculative community was the fact that
the Bank of England governors did not
raise the minimum rate of discount today,
although rather Strong limitations had
been afforded here in the last few days that
an advance in the rate was quite prob
able.
In leading financial circles the construc-
ton placed on the decision of the gov
errors was that it was wholly favorable to
our market indicating desire not to de-
range the international credit situation for
the sake of forcing. an Improvement in the
Bank of England position, which would
doubtless occur in time anyway and by the
natural course of events.
Had the discount rate been put up it
could hardly be doubted that gold exports
would begin promptly, but as it is now a
hood.

UNION PACIFIC WAS A LEADER

NEW YORK, January 11.-For. the first
time this week the stock market today had
a definite tendency for more than a few
minutes together In general the market
gave evidence that the heavy selling move
ment that began after the turn of the year
and was continued in such large volume
during the first half of this week, had about
spent it's force. This is not to say that
there is no stock offering for sale. What is
meant is that the special reason which in
duced the bulk of liquidation that has TAX
en- place in the last ten days have appar-
emily had about all the effect of which they
are capable.
The general tone today was confident, al
though not particularly aggressive. Traders
found it easy to bid prices up without get
ting much stock and in several quarters
there was a resumption of bullish opera
lions that were attended with more than
a fair degree of success.
Union Pacific was an influential leader,
and the rapid advance which took place in
it was rather widely shared in. The
most interesting fact about the move was
that it was well advertised in advance, yet
the speculative fraternity had sufficient
courage to follow it. Undoubtedly the most
important stock market developments were
in Great Northern preferred especially. and
to lesser degree in Northern Pacific.
