CAUSE FOR RISE II TIE STOCK
Advises From New York Are to the
Effect That Negotiations Are Direct
Iy Underway and That Charles s.
Mellen is Representing Morgan.

Much interest has been manifested
here during the past few days in the
remarkable upward jumps in the
price of Chesapeake K Ohio stock. A
few months ago. e. < o. common
stock was going begging at 3; cents.
and even few days ago 1t was at
SO. Friday ii started upward, and
since that time ii has been as high
as 49, Yesterday it dropped from 46
to 43k. but it is thought That it will
go up again today.
Various rumors nave been aflOat
concerning the cause of t..e rise in
the price of the stock One was tC
the effect tina; Hartman was after
the C. 4 o. to use it as an outlet to
the Atlantic AS ii is generally
known that Hartman secured an out.
let at Savannah some time ago. the
report that Morgan has use for the
property and is engaged in an attempt
70 secure control of it is more gener
ally credited.
Advices received here Yesterday
from New York say that il is report
ed in financial circles in that city that
negotiations are at last definitely
underway for the purchase of con
troll of the Chesapeake 4 Ohio Rail
way Company for the purpose Of link
ing that system with the Cincinnati
Hamilton 4 Dayton Railway.
1t is pointed out that the Chesa
peake & Ohio has long been in urgen,
need of line by means Of which
it can distribute its bituminOus coal
throughout the Middle states and the
lake regions. The railway is now
under ferry service across the Ohio
river, J. p Morgan & Company
about two years ago bought the Ken
lucky 4 Ohio bridge property from
the Detroit. Toledo & Ironton Rail
road interests This purchase, which
was made for the Cincinnati. Hamil
ton & Dayton. is regarded as an ex
cellent connecting link between the
Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton and
the Chesapeake & Ohio.
Secrecy Observed.
As the negotiations are on in a
tentative way there is considerable
secrecy regarding the persons identi
fed with them. Charles S. Mellen
l. mentioned as the negOtiator for
the Morgan interests.
The Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton
Is still in the hands of receiver and
so far as has been reported no action
has vet been taken 10 present a re
organization plan TO the various Sc
cur!ty holders. While a former mpr
ger OF the road with Western roads
as failure. the Morgan interests
still believe that the line would BE-
benefited by a consolidation with q
railway transacting an extensive coal
business
Reported Twp Years Ago.
Nearly two years ago II was report
ed that these two properties would
ultimately be linked together. and
railroad interests regard the comtina
tion ~ an ideal one. The Chess
pcake & Ohio has q mileage Of 2.ls2
miles. while the Cincinnati. Hamilton
& DAYTON is LOIS miles in extent. the
proposed combination thus represent
ing 2.Iss miles.
The majority o. the stock Of tho
rhesspeake 4 Ohio is controlled by
the Kuhn. Loeb 4 Company. who took
