Rock Island to
Control Lehigh

q NEW YORK, Jan 1S.-With the
election of William H Moore, his son
r. S Moore, and ID. G. Reid to the di-
rectbrate of the Lehigh Valley Railroad
company at it's annual meeting today,
Wall street men believe that the Rock
Island party will hereafter have con-
siderable influence on the destines of
the Lehigh. While officials of the road
refuse to discuss the significance of
the change in, management, dispatches
from Philadelphia say that the i'm
preston prevails that the road will be
used under the traffic agreement as
the Rock Islands Atlantic Coast con-
nection. The present management, it
is said. is in entire harmony with the
Moore Reid interests
Fer a number of years William H.
Moore has been a large holder OF
",ackawanna and a director of that
vfmpany. He was quoted as saying
that his purchase of Lehigh Valley
stock was in the nature of an invest
ment and was in no way connected
with the Rock Island
IL well Informed Wall street circles,
however. the opinion prevailed that
thu Reid Moore interests would obtain
representation in the Wabash in the
near future, and that that road, as We'll
as the Lehigh Valley. would exchange
through freight with the Rock Island
railway system.
1t had been known for some time
that Messrs Moore and Reid had been
heavy purchasers of the Lehigh VAL
ley stock
In 1901, joint control of the Lehigh
Valley was acquired by the Lacka-
wanna, the Erie, the Central of New
Jersey, the Reading and the Wander
bilt roads. 1t is believed that with
the exception of the Lackawanna, all
of those roads have sold their inter
ests in Lehigh Valley. Just where
contro, of the Lehigh Valley rests to-
day. therefore. is an open question in

SPECULATIVE TREND
BLOWS HOT AND COLD
DEMAND FOR STOCKS so I'M
PRESSIVE THAT TRADERS
GAIN IN CONFIDENCE.
Think Demand Comes From InfIuen-
tiaI Sources and Hopeful Feel
ino Is Manifested,


NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-Speculative
sentiment blew hot and cold in the
stock market today and the sudden
transpositions offered some violent
contrasts
Demand for stocks early in the day
was so impressive and seemed to be
coming from such influential sources
that the tone of the speculation be-
came hopeful. One or two items in
the news were construed in the same
spirit. That stocks should stream
into the market in urgent liquidation
and in overwhelming volume in the
presence of this hopeful feeling ar
gued Of a weight of offerings over
hanging the market that dampened the
cheerfulness and set conjecture to
work again to fathom the motives and
the sources of the selling
The retrospect of the market would
have to go back many months to
find prices at which stocks could have
been acquired to offer any profit on
the sales made at today's prices This
fact accentuated the conviction of
thoroughness of the liquidating move
ment and prevented unloading on the
had come into the market at an early
stage of last years advance. The be-
lief was thus created in a closing up
of market campaign of long duration
and widespread extent
There was nothing in the immediate
situation to explain the pressure of
the market. The money. position
worked easier and the weekly bank
statement of Saturday gave warrant
for confidence in the security of the
money market from further string
ency. There was an engagement of
gold for South America, but the for
eign exchange market was easier, in
sympathy of the decline in money
rates. This movement might reflect
renewal of foreign buying of cotton
invited by the severe decline in that
commodity.
The acute weakness of the trans
continental railroad stocks today in
dicates misgivings on the score of de-
creased traffic, as we'll as a possible
redistribution of traffic growing out
0f the opening of new Pacific coast
extensions. This was a factor in the
weakness of the Hill stocks and of
ST. Paul. The further postponement
of the suit to dissolve the Union Pa
cific merger was made the occasion
of some early strength in that stock
but it was among the weakest in the
later selling.
The satisfaction of the demand to
cover the shorts on the part of the
bears about exhausted the buying at
the recovered price level. and the sub
sequent collapse placed prices lower
than the low prices of Saturday
morning. The rallying power was
feeble and the closing tone was weak.
