NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE board of
managers OF the Consolidated Stock Ex-
change yesterday denied the application
of the brokerage firm of Ennis & Stop

TO SELL HALF OF

NEW YORK. Oct. 15.-A division Of
the control of the Western Pacific, the
new Gould line to the Pacific coast, be-
tween the Denver and Rio Grande.
which now owns the road, and another
important Western system. has been
under negotiations, it was learned, for
some time. although so far no definite
conclusion has been arrived at. The
plan is said to be looked upon. with
favor by the Blair G. Co. interests. as
well as by an important element in the
directorate of the Western Pacific.
There lisa fair chance, 1t is said, that
TINS line. which was built as an exclu-
siveiy Gould road, Will become the
Joint property Of the Goulds and an
other system. A member Of he West
ern Pacific executive committee said
when questioned about this plan for al
vision Of control:
Some such plan as that may be
worked out, but nothing along thai line
is likely to be done just now"

FREIGHT TRAFFIC BIGGEST
EVER, SAYS r. r. HEAD.


NEW YORK, Oct. 1~5.-According to
Julius Kruttschnitt. director Of opera
ton and maintenance of the Union Pa
cifc-Southern Pacific lines, and the al
lied Hartman interests, the freight
movement of the country is now greater
than ever before. A.
"our reports" said Mr.. Kruttschnitt,
"show hat the traffic of the railroads
for October, this year, will considerably
exceed thai of October, 1907. when it
had reached it's high water mark. We
have not yet reduced it to terms of per-
centage. but sufficient data are now
in hand to s~ubstantiate my statement.
This is an indisputable sign that the
country has fully recovered from the
industrial and financial depression that
followed the disastrous panic Of two
years ago."

S. TO BUILD CHINESE R. R.;

WALL STREET NOTES.

The dearth in the money market has
been relegated to the real at least for
the moment, and the bull movement,
led by Steel, seems to be under head
way again. In he market yesterday
brokers noticed that the real buying
power came from the shorts, who
found that stocks We're not coming out.
In addition, the old group in Steel were
adroitly moving it upward. The rail-
road deals in which Mr.. Hawley and
his new associates in the City Bank
have joined hands have stimulated
public interest, and rumors of other
deals are now becoming rife. 1t looks
as If the market were in for another
upward swing of prices. 1t will not be
sustained, however, because Of condi-
tons prevailing in the money market.
Brokers look for a rise of from 8 to 5
points within the next week.
Yesterdays recovery movement in the
stock market has already created a
more cheerful sentiment in speculative
ranks. The pronounced bearishness ex-
listing in some of the active circles was
not so manifest after the close, and the
general impression was that the
liquidation movement had run its
course, and that the resumption of bull
ish activity is again at hand. Advan-
tage should be taken of all moderate
reactions to buy stocks for quick turns.
A gradual improvement in prices may
