o. 6 W. SALE RUMOR REVIVED,
New Haven, 1t Is Said, Anxious To Dispose
of Holdings to Central

The TumoT was revived yesterday in dis
patch from Boston: that the New York. New
Haven & Hartford was contemplating the sale
OF its stock control of the New York. Ontario &
Western 10 the New York Central That such
an operation is under discussion there is good
ground for believing. The New Haven bought
the Ontario & Western with the object of MAX
ing itself factor in the coal situation as far
as concerned the entrance of coal into New Eng
land. II has never sought to interfere with the
management of the road by President Fowler
and would be willing. IL is understood, 10 sell
--s Ontario &s Western stock to the New York
Central at 45. the price which il paid. IL it could
obtain also certain concessions. principally from
the Boston & Albany now leased line of the
New York Central system. The trunk lines. il
Is said, have already given assurances that il
the sale to the New York Central should be ar
ranged the New Haven would be amply pro-
tected as TO the coal situation.
The New York CentralS desire TO take over
the control of the Ontario & Western. II Is un-
derstOOd, is based on the fact that the latter
road has trackage rights which do not expire
until 2079, the West Shore road, between
Cornwall and Weehaw1en. This Is the part OF
the West Shore over which the largest passen
ger traffic is handled, many commuters live
along the line, and although the Ontario &
Western would of course be continued in the
enjoyment OF its trackage contract in any case
Il is felt by the New York Central that with
both the West Shore and the Ontario & West
ern controlled by It much OF the friction
existing would be done away with.

AFFAIRS OF THE CUNARD LINE
Arrangements in New York Satisfactory
No Change to Channel Port at Present.

Liverpool. April 1s.-At the annual meeting
OF the CUnard Steamship Company to-day
Chairman Watson said he had no positive an
nouncement to make to whether or not the
company proposed 70 move from Liverpool 20 a
Channel port. He thought the best interests OF
the line would be served by leaving the matter
in abeyance. The new steamers Lusitania and
Mauritania would be running in few months.
and the company had entered into satisfactory
lease with the New York City authorities for
increased dock accommodation
The relations with competitors. the chairman
said. Were much the same as last year. AL
though there were no binding agreements. rates
remained practically unchanged. There had
been runners OF a breach in the understanding.
but it had practically been undisturbed The
chairman hoped that this would continue. as
no company could hope to benefit by change.
Overtures had been made to the Cuuard Line
to ally itself with Continental competitors, but
the terms suggested were such that this could
not be considered The Cunard Line wished to
live in peace with it's competitors. but It must

sold its interests IN the Observation-Disclosures

perfectly loyal to it's agreements. ard the Gu

COPPER PRICES GOING UP.
Metal Exchange Man Says Quotations Are a
Nuisance, Pure and Simple.

Bid prices Of lake and eiectrolytic copper We're
advanced a quarter OF a cent pound at the New
York Metal Exchange yesterday. The offering
prices remained unchanged and so did the price
Of castings. The higher bids were generally at
tributed 20 a further rise In the price OF copper
in London. The quotations were 24l4 bid and
% offered for lake. and 23% bid and 2435 offered
for electroIytic copper.
A member Of the Metal Exchange, who is
large producer of copper. said yesterday that
there was absolutely not a pound of copper
sold on the floor Of the exchange and that the
copper market was not in any way governed
by the quotations emanating from the
change He added, that in his opinion. the
quotations were a nuisance pure and simple,
and that for the last fifteen years he had done
his best 70 put people on the right track re-
garding them.
An officer OF the United Metals Selling Com
pany says that he sees nothing in the situation
calculated TO reduce the price or copper in the
near future. The agency az the moment is
making few sales but that is natural, as con-
sumers are fairly well supplied. while the talk
OF lower prices In many quarters has induced
some manufacturers 20 carry as little copper
as possible

MANY NEW STEEL STOCKHOLDERS.
Large Number of Transfers Made When
Books Are ReOpened.

When the transfer books of the United States
Steel Corporation were opened on April 1G after
having been closed since March 10 it was evi-
dent that the corporation had many thousands
Of new stockholders result of the influx
Of investment buying in the March panic. 1t is
understood that the new stockholders total
10000 in the preferred stock alone and many
thousands more in the common stock.
The total amount has not yet been ascer-
tained, at the close of business last night
the clerical force had been unable TO foot up the
figures. The transfer Office OF the company is
in the basement of the Empire Building. and
at the opening Of the Office on Tuesday there
was almost riot among about six hundred men
and boys who were waiting TO make transfers
OF the stock which had changed ownership
since the closing OF the books. A squad OF po
lice had TO be sent for to keep order. The day
following the same conditions prevailed and IL
is believed TO have been the heaviest transfer
OF stock in the history Of the corporation.
The United States Steel Corporation yesterday
fixed the price of rails for the season Of 1903 at
S2S ton, the same price that has obtained for
several years past.
