New York, April 21.-Among the
most interesting stories in Wal

not officially confirmed. but appar-
emily is true, runs to the effect that
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company

Company, all the Norfolk and West
ern stock sold to IL some years ago
by the late President A. j. Cassett
Kuhn, Loeb q Company have tried
several times 90 use this stock in

Crt now is that the Interstate co-h
merce commissioners have signifi ID
their willingness to let the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company continue TO
own the stock. 1t was this report
that gave the backbone to the specn-
aation and of the soft coal shares.

the conclusion that If the Norfoix
and Western is taken by Pennsylva.

other companies sold at that time
Il. II. Hartman has purchased "a
large part OF the Baltimore and Ohio
