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.
Call money loaned at 2 per cent. The
foreign exchange market was steady.
