New York. September 26.-(Speeial.l-
There were few important developments III
the course of the short session OF the
stock market today but the most con-
spicuous of these clearly confirmed the
statement made in this column today that
Important developments are pending IN
the financing, if not the actual control Oh
the Rock Island and the st. Louis ana
San Francisco railroads. All of the stock
and bond issues of these two systems
were exceptionally strong at the opening
and held a good part of their recent sharp
advance throughout the general decline
that set in during the last hour of the
session, and which was to be fully ex-
pected after the sharp advance that the
market enjoyed in the last week.
While there was no definite announce
ment regarding the financing of the Rock
Island and St. Louis and San Francisco,
1T was universally accepted in the street
that the two roads will not in the future
he in need of money to take care or their
small pressing obligations. 1t is not SO
much the amount of the financing thal
has been arranged for, 1t is the fact that
possible receivership proceedings nave
been eliminated from the situation that
cheers the Wall street district.
In spite of the small reaction that took
place in the latter part of the session
caused by the desire to take profits, there
was a general, If not almost universal,
feeling of optimism in the financial dis
trict At no time did the volume of trad
ing reach large proportions, and at no
time during the decline did there appear
to be anything like serious pressure to
sell stocks.
There was an interesting report In the
street to the effect that an important Dull
pool has been organized by group of
prominent operators, headed by Daniel q.
Reid, for the purpose of acquiring a line
of low-prieed railroad and Industrial
stocks. A house that would naturally be
employed in the operation of such pool
was a conspicuous buyer OF several OF the
1ow-prieed issues, such as Rock Island,
Erie and Southern railway, in the de-
cline of the latter part of the session.
The report of the formation of such
