EXCITEMENT ON WALL STREET.
Sensational Buying of Reading Starts
All Sorts of Rumors.

New York.-Sensational buying Of
the shares of the Reading company
on Wednesday gave Wall street its
most exciting experience since the
Northern Pacific contest of six years
ago. Reading had been strong in
the face of a generally weak market
all through the morning session Of
the stock exchange, when shortly az
ter l o'clock there developed an enor-
nous buying movement in the shares
which carried the price up more than
s points in half an hour.
Up to the close Of the market there
was nothing to show the source Of the
purchasing orders, but a persistent
rumor was in circulation that E. H.
Hartman was buying the stocks with
the object of acquiring control of the
property, and that Mr.. Hartman was
taking all that was offered in the
open market in addition to the hold
ings of H. c. Prick, which he was
said to have purchased privately.
