8 NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-After a
Week of inactivity, the Harrimans
again took the lead of the market,
and up to noon were the centers
of attraction. RumOr is busy with
the conditions Of the separation of
the Union Pacific stockholdings
from the railroad company. The
street gossip is that a melon
would be cut equal to $4,000 per
share on Union Pacific common,
and if the company is compelled
to sell off it's holdings in other
railroads and distribute the profits
it may equal nearly this amount.
This is going to be dangled before
the spectators eyes for the next
month at least, and is likely to
create a demand for the Hartman
issues. The holding company that
is being framed up to take over
the Gould issues will probably be
dominated by ]. p. Morgan & Co.
Lack of capital in the Wabash,
Denver & Rio Grande and the Mis-
souri, Pacific is largely responsible
for the low prices of these stocks,
and under a leadership like Har-
rimans, Missouri Pacific would
sell up, to 1925, while now it is
kicking around under $40.
This market since election has
been a surprise to all professional
traders. They were delighted
when they were able to unload
holdings taken on prior to election
at good profit, but when ad-
vances continued they were puz-
zled, and large numbers of them
have jumped into the market on
the long side again. While a

and the steady improving condi-

always attempts to discourage the

these stocks can sell off much

that digging sewers in tho center
of the streets, thus defying the
peoples health and endangering
the lives Of little children, is not
living strictly up to the agree
