William A. Mearns, representing a

The purchase was made in the interest

control is once and for all settled in
mergers with one and all institutions is
ended; save where the National Metro
politan management may dictate.
At the same time, the syndicate au-
thorizes Mr.. Mearns to make a substan-
tial offer for the holdings of the late
Frances Riggs, a matter Of 1.50o shares,
now in charge Of the National Savings

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-There was but
one really active stock on change and
one sensational advance. This was in
Missouri Pacific, where the stories told
varied from the control by James ].
Hill to the purchase of a large block by
Reid, of the Rock Island crowd, for the
benefit of the latter road. The rise in
Street liked, for the Street is bearish
IN temper just now, and doesn't want
any bull arguments to Tefute its theo-
ries. Therefore they jumped on the
advancing market through Missouri
Pacific and wiped out the bulk of the
advance before the session was two
hours advanced. But this came after
the scattered short interest chad COW
cred on the advance Of over points,
point of which was held.
The commission houses also affected
10 be greatly concerned about the ad-
vance in Missouri Pacific, and unpleaS
ant talk was INDUCED in concerning a
possible change in control of the old
Gould road, which they declared boded
no good to the general market Many
of the leading houses advised their Gus
toners to get out of the market, but
the advice was not followed to any eX-
opinion.
