A report was circulated freely to-day Mat the Between the two factions. ‘No official confirmeticn could be obtained. All et forts to ste George J. members of the Rockefellet crowd were treless, and on one the Pennsylvania Offices could say anything about the re- port. One man who in in close touch With bowh interests sald that the story was circulated for stock purposes, There fa no doubt but that the report was in ® certain measure responstble in part for the strength of trading. Pennsylvania did not profit as much ‘by it as some other stocks. It opened 114 3-4. sold down a fraction and then advanced to 115 14, where it held even fier the report of the settlement. he Gould stocks were among the strongest on the list.

Apart from the report of the Gould- Cassatt settlement and the changed position of the Standard O!l crowd on thé market. there was the announcement @f the engagement of $1,460,000 more of gold for import. Bouthern Railway preferred was very’ trong. J. M. Noyes was the principal buyer and was aided by A. A. House- man, who paki 79 for the preferred and who took 5,000 shares in all. There is Feason to believe that this buying was for the account of Southern planters, who have made large sums on cotton ‘orop. The same ‘interests were heavy buyers of Louisville & Nashville, which is almost certain to receive a higher wate of dividend next year. : ens ‘The report by an expert that the steel and iron trade is now 50 per cent, bet- ter than it was two weeks ago, helped the Stee] issues and Steel preferred, which was weak at the opening, recov- ered its loss and sold up to 52 3-8. Republic Stee was weak all day and ‘after opening a point off fell another 11-4, but regained part of this loss in the general advance. ‘The Tractions were stilt strong and Metropolitan, on excellent buying, ad- vanced to 1181-4, an Cabra of 18-8, os ue Fegeenetiy if panier in et 1+ er, a kn that the eae feliers Bb it is known chat now almost control Brooklyn Rapid ‘Traneit, that, they own, more stock, in famhattan than the Goulds, and thet they are heavily interested in Mero- politan. “ht H, Rogers they control the traction situation on Staten Ishand and are dominant in the New Jersey a The strength of the Tractions suse many conservative men to be- fleve that there is something in the re- ort that the traction interest of Brook- fyn and Manhattan are to be merged, Gugar was one of the few stocks on the list that did not show. strength. ‘The declaration of the usual 138-4 per ent. on both of the common and the preferred did not help the Issue and Pennsylvania-Rockefeller was had ended and that peace now reigned |f Gould br any |r there was the absence of the waying from Washington. “JGREENE COPPER STIRS THE CURB Stock Drops to New Low Rec- ord and Brokers.
