Union Pacific az the leader ana cnor-
nous transactions, this stock advanced
4 points and held it's gain. Renewed eff
forts were current of the launching OF a

were predicted for the stock. Amalga-
mated Copper and Southern Pacific were
also specially strong features, and the
entire market responded better than 1t

Union Pacific and advances were general
through the entire list. Around o'clock
there was some hesitancy and OH heavy
profit taking. and Union Pacific sold off

and activity developed, which carried it
up to the highest price of the day. The

At Chicago the market was reported as

steps in the formation of n holding COM

subsidiary corporations, with consequent

merely manipulation, under Mr.. Keene's
adroit hand. for the purpose of the bene-

to force the shorts in Union Pacific to
cover 1t hardly seems probable to us

the substantial gain of II points In TIL
