mystery as to it's direct cause.-the
governors Of the exchange met and
perfected plans for a rigorous investi-

The governors appointed as spe-

labors at once to run down the men
who "cornered" Rock Island. and gave
Wall street a brief chill.

since the famous Northern Pacific cpl

caused sharp reaction In the rest OF
the market, which had opened gen

losses were soon recovered.
Reasons Are Varied.
There were all sorts OF reasons
given to account for the rise, but the
one which was generally accepted as
true was to the effect that a group Of
Londoners had been caught mapping
and 100000 taken away from. them
to line the pockets Of the Rock Island
insiders. Last week, 1t seems the
Rock Island crowd, when the stock
was at 46. bought calls on 100000
