By T. c. SHOTWELL.

NEW YORK. Jan. l6.-Great activ'
ity developed this morning IN Nall-st'
I'm The stocks OF all independent rall-
road companies. Wisconsin Central
continued active and firm because OF
the admission by President Shaugh'
messy, OF the Canadian Pacific, that
500 Intended 10 take control. Al
though there have been many false
statements made by Canadian Pacific
officials III connection with this pur-
chase. IL is considered an advantageous
one. As IL lets the company into Chi
cago over It's own lines and means de-
yelopment OF the Duluth. South Shore
d Atlantic railroad as part OF the main
line OF the Canadian Pacific. The
deal is OF tremendous Importance TO
the city OF Duluth. Chesapeake 4
Ohio was very active on account or
the forthcoming increase OF the diyi'
dend TO four per cent. Numerous
deals involving the Chesapeake a
Ohio. the Cincinnati. Hamilton and
Dayton and other small roads were
rumored and the general belief is that
they will all be put through.
Hartman stocks showed strength,
both Southern Pacific and Union Pa.
citic advancing Copper stocks were
surprisingly strong. considering the
weak condition the trade conditions
give them in the market.
An increase in the number of idle
freight ears OF more than 100000 was
reported.
On the curb market no movement
OF Importance was made in the lead
ers. but all were fairly active Ut
around the closing prices of the pre-
yious day.
In London the American department
was very irregular.

Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1909-08-12

Dick Smith. of Springfield came the
closest to accomplishing the feat pyl
a high fly which dropped out
side of. the Inner fence but whics
failed to go entirely out OF the lot.
Every member of the team received
a pair of socks from the firm of M. &
X. as a reward for winning yester-
days game in such handy manner.
The firm had promised pair of socks
for every hit poled by the locals, but
they opened their hearts even further
when the result of the game was an
nounced.
Rock Island has seen only one other
drive to compare with that of yester-
day and that was made by Harry Tate,
manager of the local team in 1901. it
was in the old park, of course, and
was one of two homers over the back
fence made by Tate i'm a single game
There was a brisk northwest wind and
the long drive. aided by the wind,
sailed over the back fence near the
southeast corner.
Bet I.akaff is not popular in Davea-
port since the last two times he has
worked against them. Both times he
made them bite the dust and each time
he knocked the stitches out of a ball
and made home runs. 1t was an awful
thing to do, Frank. and we wouldn't
blame Davenporters if they passed you
on the street without even giving you
a glance, but don't you care, We will
give you something besides glances.
BY the way. have you noticed that
Eddie Wise hits the ball on the nose
NOW about three out of four times and
they have been going safe a good.y
share of the time, also. He looks
mighty good when there are men on
the bases as he has been getting hits
in the pinches right along He is not
as handy fielder at Otto VOgel, but
none of his errors have proven costly
as yet and here's hoping that none #
them will. You are all right. Eddie
Keep up your good work.
