Notch an Heavy Itnylng
Now York May 3 The scnsntlonnl
interest in the stock market yesterday
shifted from the recent favorites to
Atchison About the middle of the
session the movement became wild In
much the sumo wny ns that of Union
Pacillc Wednesday mid Atchison was
forced up by wide strides Hiul by the
taking of long strings of 1000 shnre
lots up to 0000 share lots to about 88
a rise of nearly i2 points over Wednes
day night There was no news to ac
count for the rise but buyers of the
etock professed n belief that the road
was to bo Included In n transconti
nental project to offset the Burlington
The Mall nnd Express says
From the current tremendous prlco
movements in Union Pacific and At
chison stocks big ndvances occurring
in each day It became clear that a
light Is going on between great money
powers over the establishment of trans
continental systems It now appears
that this tight centers around the
plans of Georgo J Gould nnd E H
Hnrrlmnn to estnbllsh n vast network
of roads from the Atlnntlc to the Pa
cific ocean nnd William K Vandcrbilt
nnd the Pennsylvania realroad people
seeing what is up have made up their
minds to frustrate them
Following the discovery that
Messrs Gould nnd Hnrrlmnn wanted
to control the Union Pncllic carrying
with it the Southern Pacific it be
came plain that the Missouri Pacific
and Illinois Central might bo substi
tuted for the Chicago nnd Northwest
ern ns the eastern connection of the
Union Pacific thereby greatly injur
ing the Vandcrbilt position In the
west In order to protect the North
western and New York Central Will
lam K Vanderbllt started to accumu
late a large amount of Union Pacific
nnd Messrs Gould nnd Harrlman
learning this also bought enormous
quantities of this stock
If the enormous buying of Union
Pacific has secured control of that
property in the Interests of the North
western New York Central and per
haps St Paul there Is no necessity for
controlling the Atchison but If the
Union Pacific has been lost to Gould
and Harriman the heavy accumulation
of Atchison yesterdny would indicate
that that company is needed as an out
let of the Pacific for both the Pennsyl
vania and Vanderbllt lines
Mr Gould hns further irritated Will
iam K Vandobilt by planning an ex
tension of the Wheeling road to the
vicinity of Clevelnnd Mr Goulds
plans are furthered by the backing of
Mr Hurrimnn nnd Stuyvesnnt Fish
who are the lending factors In the Illi
nois Central The Illinois Central
has a direct lino from Chicago to
Sioux City and Omnhn furnishing n
connection with the Union Pacific at
the latter point
