Such a report Is in the highest degree
sensational. and 1t seems to have fairly
good backing. During the acute period Of
the March panic a 200, 0,000-share block Of
Union Pacific passed into the control Of a
syndicate centered in the First National
Bank. which is a Morgan Rock Island in
stitution. Since then large amounts Of this
stock have come on the market under the
hammer. and 1T has clearly gone somewhere
Short selling has been encouraged at every
stage. and 1t has always been easy to bor-
row the stock for deliveries. One Of the
best inside tips afoat is that there is 20 to
30 points In purchases Of Union Pacific
under 1870. This tip was heard quite while
ago. and 125 was named as the bed rock
The price afterward went to 121 or there
abouts. Accumulation went right along.
People Of Importance are getting back to
town. Very few Of the active leaders Of

Conferences are in continuous progress and
affairs seem to be growing more encourag-

Logistilla has shown grand form at the

Proper gets in with weight that he

DR.. Leggo has been handed a stiff
package, in spite of his poor showing

bandages are blamed in some quar-

doubtless Will be without the boots
and bandages. as it is noticeable that
he runs his best races without such
membranes.
Nealon has been treated leniently. in
spite of his fame. and if the horse lives
up to his Eastern reputation nc ought
to be able to cut considerable figure

In the case of Borghesi it is still an
open question how good horse he

Rapid Water may not like the dis
tance, and looks to have all that is
coming to him with III pounds.
Sir Edward appears to have a royal
chance with III pounds. if he can go
the route. He has been one of the
most consistent performers of the
meeting. and his running in the Lissak
besides being revelation, shows that
he is right on edge.
Rubric appears to have only a chance
of the outside sort.
