YORK, March 30.—There was prac- no limit to the surmise and conjecture | al Wall street indulged itself | the hidden significance of the smul of Union Paclfic stock, which s been the mystery in the market now for y days. Tbe favorite hypothesis at the ay was that the accumulation was ¢ the St. Paul Interests, and ith every appearance of con- official statements would | from the $t. Paul | had secured NEW lation s asserted that a ¥ be iorthcoming authorities that they sh: f Union Pacific. ib! telt by intercsts at the time of the | hase over the comparative the St. Paul system would The making of surveys looking to 1o the Pacific and the proposition r the issue of $25,000,000 additional St. Paul sck are matters of public record. It is a | ter of common notoriety also that relations between St. Paul and Unlon Pacific in the i terchange of traffic and of common ownershij stock n ac sity on the vart of all the Pacific and tran: continental railroa stems for a control of the through facilities from a trunk line termi- nus to the Pacific Coast. Hence, the rise in St. Paul was logically accompanied by st h in Atchison, Misscurl Pacific and others situated in like manner, and floods of new rumors extended the principle Illustrated in St. Paul's.supposed purchases of Union Pacific. One variation of the rumor was that the buying was for the Gould interests rather | than for St. Paul. The enormous capital re- quired for such an interchange of ownership did rot seem to affect the credence given to rumors, althouzh it will be remembered that the avowed purpcse of the Northern Securities device was to make less onerous the enormous holdings of Northern Pacific which had been accuriulated in the contest for the control of that system. Other factors had only a smal infivence on the rise i@ prices. Those who s0ld U'nited States Steel preferred on the fear that the dividend is to be reduced seemed to feel reassured to-day, and that stock recove its yesterday's decline and held bett the average. Speculative tonfidence over the | reliability of some of the stories current to ace for the was decidedly impalred as the day progressed and during the final hour the level of prices touched represented a cancelifition of the best part of the earller gains. Thesrnersistent pressure cific and Southern Pacific, which was ignored during the forenoon, gained additional impres. stveness. terday’s The market closed frregular and near the lowest.
