The recovery in the stock market disclosed the fact this afternoon that Union Pacific and Missour! Pacific had been oversold and that there waa a dangerously large short Interest In them. The speculators who had been caught took fright and began compet- ing with each other for stocks, with a result that Union Pacific was run up from par to 112, or 22 points over the closing, and Missouri Pacific from below par to 108. To-morrow being a Stock Exchange holiday, the bears were afraid to cary ry short lines over two days. They scented danger and hastened to put themselves in a safe position at any sacrifice.

It ts Impgssible to nay whether the worst Is over, but we are hoping for the best. Everything rests with the holders of Northern Pacific. If advices we have received are true, and the hold- ers have agreed .to allow the shorts to settle for 150, then matters will probably right themselves, The dealings, however, are so unprecedented that It Ia unsafe to hazard a definite prediction. “America does everything on so gigantic a acale that we poor Eng- Iishmen are appalled. It fa known that English houses have not been caught ynder the crash. We held aloof from the wild speculative craze, and while a few speculators have lost some money, in no case was the loss serious. “A matter of nome little anxiety ts the accounting day, which ts next Wednesday. We will then be able to definitely see how matters stand.
