Traders Take Fright and Cover
Freely When Jersey Central Ad-
vances Thirty-fve Points.
BY THOMAS c. sHoTwELL.

New York, Feb. 6-The professional
short interest in the stock market was
50 large to-day that when Jersey Central
suddenly advanced thirty-five points
traders took fright and began covering
freely in all departments. Reading. the
owner of Jersey Central naturally was
most active and there was quick ad-
vance of over three points in this issue.
Southern Railroad preferred went up
easily on a rumor that 1t was to get a
per cent dividend. Then Steel and all
the Coppers swung into line with Union
Pacific, moving up in an impressive man
ner.
The covering movement thus forced was
cue very largely 10 a belief among pro-
fcssionsls that the conservative wing Of
the Democratic party would prevent in
Nestigation OF. the money trust" The
short interest has been outstanding for
the account OF small traders. The big
interests have sold some stock for turn
but have not gone short Numerous
traders who ought to be handling shares
have become so bold TO go short Of a
thousand shares and more. It was the
covering of this class of traders that
caused the rally.
The advance OF Jersey Central has not
explained the mystery in which the stock
has been involved for several weeks. 1t
Is evident, however, that there must
be something important in view, else
the stock could not hold its own as il
has done. Several things could happen.
It has expended many millions on water
front improvements in New York Har-
Dor that could be capitalized. Because
Of control Of more than 800 miles of
trackage in the State of Pennsylvania
ownership OF the Jersey Central by the
Reading is illegal under the Shermans
antitrust law. To bring the property
within the law. Reading might either
distribute Jersey Central stock to the
Reading shareholders as a special divi-
dend, or a coal company might be or
ganized to take over the subsidiary cor
pOratiOn through which Jersey Central
owns the Pennsylvania trackage.
Reason for the strength of Union Pa
ciic every time il is under pressure is
easy to find. OF course, there are wide
differences of opinion regarding the level
of stocks in general, but If II be ad-
mitted that the general level of the
market is reasonable then Union Pacific
stock is unreasonably low. The strike
situation has hurt the road, and until
an American army establishes peace in
the republic Of Mexico the Southern
Pacific end Of the Union Pacific system
will be subject 10 possible damage. But
ii is only a question of time when the
Mexican affair is settled and then Union
Pacific will be found domina ting the
Pacific seaboard.

Explains Railway stock Rise.

Explaining the so-point rise in Wash
ington Railway and Electric common
stock yesterday afternoon, William b.
Hibbs, who has been principally interested
in all tranactions. statea tnat the present
price Of s41s is the result Of the earnings
OF the company, and the prevalent be-
lief that under the new management II
will become more valuable than ever be-
fore. The holdings at this time, he de-
clared. did not represent speculation, but
solid investment. The purchasers in this
city, Philadelphia, and New York; were
buying the stock and putting It away
TO await the advance that is coming
within the next few months.
''Rumors OF consolidation with the Cap
ital Traction Company, and the like. "
said Mr.. Hibbs. have played no part In
the recent advance. The Washington
Railway and Electric stock is selling to-
day for only one-half what Capital Trac-
tion is selling and its earnings at this
time show IL TO be as valuable as the
older corporation"
