MISSOURI PACIFIC ISSUES MADE SHARP ADVANCES AT CLOSE Reported Taking Over of Gould Interests By Kuhn, Loeb & Co. Sent Prices Upward. NEW YORK, Jan. U.-Overstdowlns verythlnjt elne In tlio iRts tradlnc on the stock vcchnnife today was a nhnrp tlss In Missouri Pacific Issues. Tho stock, ,ln n very few minutes, roso 314 points to 10V4- At the c!oe It reacted to 9?. Tlie company's 6 per cent, bonds rose 2U to 40Vti the 4s jumped 34 to tCil and tho collateral 6s of 1917 Rallied 1 over the closing; yesterday bv coins to 93. Accompanying tho rise Ih tho company's stocks and bonds wrs the report that Kuhn, Loeb Co. had boiiKht out tho Gould interests nt tho recent low price at Which the stock so'd on the Kxchnmre, and that tho banking firm would reor ganize tho property. Tho report n so bad It that Kuhn. !,ocb & Co, would take euro of the Interest falling duo on July 1 on the per cent, notes, which It had been thought would b defaulted and that tho road would be placed In tho hands ot receivers. Helped by tho rise of "Mop," the mar ket closed stronir, with many Issues touching lit slier points. l.olig Island n Uj. "t at 31 ' Vnrsln buying Is stilt mlsslnu fiom ' stock market transaction-!, but n biontl- i enlncr of speculative Interest was shown In tho Increased demand for many of the low-priced specialties which could be paid for In full with less than the amount re quired for marglrkon stocks la the usually active list. There was besides a good basis for bullish activities In some of these Issues. United States Steel common reflected tho shifting' of position by some of tho room traders, who put out small amounts cf short stock because fit the published torles of sale of Canadian steel rails at 526 a ton, .against $23 a ton, the price adhered to by the steel rnll makers He o So far as can bo learned, exaggerated Importance has been attached to theso tiles, and It is asserted that they aio ulmply due to n halt in buying of Cana dian product bv the rallwnvs In tin Dominion and will have no permanent Influence on tho trade situation here. Steel schedules are being marked up on numerous classes, and tho necessities of railroads can only be supplied by tho large corporations like United States Steel, as the Canadian output Is too small to be considered In the placing of large orders. . The. most Important of such new busi ness Is tho order for new steel cars sub mitted to the Pressed Steel Car and Standard Car Company, amounting to about $10,000,000. This order calls for comparatively prompt delivery, and ability to supply the order quickly, In order to comply with the demands of the Publlo Service Commission and new State offi cials. Is of more consequence than conces sions In prices that might be obtained. There was quiet absorption of Ujjlted States Steel common. The copper atocks continue to be supplied by brokers Upposed to be actlnfe for T. F. Ryan, a.nd prices nf those stockB were fraction ally lower. Western Union was up fractionally on the good showing made In the company's report for the year. Both gross and net earnings were larger. It Is held In the treet that "Western Union, selling around K, la too low for a 4 pep cent, dividend payer. Covering of shorts in "Western Mary land put the price of that stock Up1 1 to 16, j United Railways Investment Stocks, both the common and preferred. Were oft from the closing yesterday.
