Snutlitrii Pnellle lle:it Dniiiliintps AITnlrs mi Wall Street. NEW VOHK, Feb. 4.-The stock market was tinder the Influence of the news of the purchase of control of the Southern Pa cific by n syndicate In the Interests of the Fnlon Pnclllc. Notwithstanding tho plain corroboration by the topo on Friday of the rumors of the "deal" the speculators were not without doubts nnd the official admis sion after the market had closed on Fri day found tho street In a state of unpro pnrodness, lor while rumors of denlK have been thick for many weeks past this par ticular one had not been formulated, etfen In tho formation of the tipsters. The natural consequence was n large nnd excited ilemnnd for stocks nt the opening louay. as a result or llie accumulation or buying orders In commission olllcrs since Inst Friday there were wide openings In various stocks under the pxrlted bidding of competing brokers. They bought 12,5oo shares of Fnlon Pacific upon the fall of the hammer nt the simultaneous price of SSMiSO1;. compared with S7 on Friday night. The opening prlcp In Southern Pa cific was tho highest, that stock selling at both 47',4 and 47 on the transfer of x,om shares, The demand came from London and tho opening price here wns consider nbly below the parity of that established In London thh morning. Opinion In Wnll street did not conclude that the sale of tho road Is for the benellt of tho stock which remains on tho market, ns It consti tutes it minority of tho road nresumnhlv to bu used for tho bpst Interests of the Fnlon Pacllle. The professional sneeulatorH took an aetlvo part In the market with the nd vnntngi! offered of the lame outside de mand for stocks nttrnctcd by tho Southern I'aciuc iicai. In their manipulation to ndvnnce prices one operator made a demonstrative bid for 10.000 shares of Fnlon Pacific nt 90. U wns quickly supplied In u single block nnd as n consequence Fnlon Pacific ruled below that tor tne rest or the day. Tho completion of the Southern Pacific transaction caused additional credence to rumors of other similar transactions. It is highly probable nlso that the likelihood of runner 'ran.mctloiis is increased by the fruition of this plan. The large demand for Atchison nnd for Hock Island wns at tracted by this probability. Tin? movement In these two stocks was, on the whole, the most conspicuous of the dav. Tho rise In Atchison reached 2V4 nnd in Hock Island 2 on the very large dealings. The'movement In Louisville apparently was based on the fact that it has had no considerable rise since Its dividend hns been Increased. The buoyancy of Chlcnao Orent Western storks gave color to recent rumors that It Is to pass to tho control of some larger road. The common stock advanced l'i, tho preferred 3i4 and the preferred "It" S'i.

STREET RAILWAY COMPANY'S PART City FiiKliierr Itimru liter Advoenten Priiiupt Itriiiuiiil of the Hiuii FliiUen.Wlillt t'oiiiptruller M li tem uu Objection. Should the Omnha Street Railway com pany bo required to rctnovo from tho street me Hiiow iiiiicn is swept from Its tracks? This was the main question under discus sion yestetday morning nt tho meeting of the Hoard of Public Works which wns enllcd to discuss the best means of disposing of tho four Inches of snow which covers tho Oninhu streets. City Comptroller John N. Westberg tirgod that tho f.enns of Bnow which nro thrown front enr tracks by sweepers block tho streets unnecessarily nnd that the com pnny should bo requested to level the piled. City Kiiglncer Hoscwnter suggested that It would bo better to require the company to remove entirely front tho streets the rlilgea produced by sweepers. The discussion ended In tho adoption of tho following reso lution: Resolved. That the utrcct car company Im requested to level tho ridges of biiow thrown ftom Its tracks. AVorU In In Pi'iiarfffs, Several street cleaning gangs have been put to work and tho snow Is being hauled from tho binlness section of the city ns rapidly as possible. Mr. Westberg objected to this motliod of disposing of snow nnd urged that It Is too expensive. Ho sug gested thnt the snow bo removed only from the street Intersections nnd that It bo leveled on tho main streets and allowed to melt. Tho comptroller was not supported In this suggcbllon by tho remulning members ot the board and no chanso will bo nindc In tho method of clcurlng the streets. City En gineer Rosewatcr explained Hint It Im i1:in gcrous to nllow a heavy snow to remain on tho chief huslnesu streets. The snow mclu nnd forms an Icy coating on streets, which must bo removed nt as great n cost ua that of hauling away tho snow. In support of his argument Mr. Rose water showed tlwt the main Btrcets would now be covered with cloven Inches of snow were It scnttcrcd evenly over the uiiHivcpt portion of tho paving. Property owners sweep the snow from sidewalks, which have a width of forty fect on tho business streets. Tho street car company cleans a path twenty feet wide. City employes clear a four-foot path In the gutters. This leaves only thirty-nix foct of tho street upon which snow must ho piled. Snow fell to n depth of four Inches. Limiting tho snow on a street 100 feet wide to a thirty-six-fool space would pile It up to nn nvcrago depth of nbout cloven Inches. .Mi-rrhiint Complain. When snow has been nllowed to melt on tho main streets Mr. Rosewatcr explained tint merchants havo complained and thero has been great dissatisfaction. Tho melting henpu have been transformed Into Ico which temnlned for weeks on portions of thu streetH where the direct ray8 of tho sun do not Btrike. Mr. Rosewatcr estimates that tho cost of removing four inches of snow from n block of 100-foot Rtreot Is about $50. An Inquiry Into tho methods of handll 111? finow ntiinlnvml In other cities tho alzo of Omaha shows mat engineers Invariably recommend that It bo removed entirely from streets where thero Is much trafllc.
