rumors of deals and operations OF all

the old story that the Pennsylvania had

banking syndicate. provided the action
OF the stock lent a certain degree of
c~orroboration Failing in this c%orrobor-
alton. the story fell "A little fat with the
speculative element. There is no doubt
that II would v been chlld's play for
my determined interests to put South
ern Pacific through par II It had been
wished. The whole Street was ON the
qui vive for significant activity above
ssle. Therefore the failure OF Southern
Pacific to furnish a demonstration was
taken rs indicative OF a desire on the
part OF important interests that the
price should not be pushed up at this
time. The report OF the alleged sale
OF the Pennsylvania holdings says that
the price paid by the syndicate was not
far below par. II this were true Il
would not. OF course. be at all bearish

at Eric,

There were signs OF speculation going
into Erie again. People were nibbling
at 1t all day and there was a resumption
OF buying OF the same sort that occurred
below 80. Erie was extremely firm all
day. especially at the close, when things
looked a little weak generally. The
roads September gross was about So
100000. The full statement will appear
around the end OF the month and will
make a very favorable showing. Gross
during the present month is said to be
running very heavy. An objection raised
TO Erie Is that too many people are bull
ish on it and that consequently a weak
technical position has been created. Since
the recent squirt Of activity in tho rails
no stock has given a better account OF
itself than Erie.
