Interest In Union Pneltles Tnken ATrny oy AlOlllHOIIH, NEW YORK. May 2.-TI10 Atchison stocks took tho leadership awny from Union Pnclllc. both in point df strength and activity. During the most of tho day tho ,,iuiiiu in 11 iiiipiiciiun in tin) i wo common stocks ran a close race, but tho denltnxs 111 Atchison common nnd nreferreil ,.uallv outstripped those In tho two Union Pacific stocks. A heavy preponderance of tho total irnnsacuous in 1110 wnole market cantered In theso stocks. Thero have been conlldent predictions that tho llrst dividend on Atchl son for 11 half year would bo 2 per cent and II Is likely that largo short Interest wus accumulated In tho stock by those who had hotter In format Ion In tho expectation that yesterday's IV, per cent dividend would bring out heavy offerings. As 11 matter of fact tho offerings were very model ate. Tho character of today's buying could by no menus be safely attributed either to a demand from shorts or to purely specula tive manipulation. Tho movement whs sup posed to bo duo to 11 new phase of the struggle among the granger trunk lines to secure for themselves compensatory ad vantages to offset the llurllngton deal. Oftl cluls of the St. Paul railroad were quoted anonymously tills niornlnit as breathing lurill nil rn ieiiiiin ui lilllllllllf; h new line to tho Pacific unless they were accorded a share In the advantages of the supposed Union Paclllo absorption. This corroborates tho ciinent supposition that the great granger trunk lines feel themselves at n practical disadvantage If they have not an assured Paelllo roust nutlet as well as an eastern trunk line connection and that nil of them will sooner or later tako measures to securn theso advantages. Tho movement or prices today wns cited as giving evidence that tho buying of Atchison was for the beneilt of Ht. Paul and probably also of Hock Inland. There was a disposition lo attribute the lato strngth of Baltimore & Ohio to plans for making thai road tho eabtcm outlet and the late spurt In Norfolk & Western and Chesapeake & Ohio were supposed to ndlcute tilteinatlvo possibilities. Tho dec laratlon of the llrst dividend on Norfolk & Western of 1 per cent was, however, the more plausible explanation of tho strength of the lust named. Tim feverish and erratic lluetuations In Union Paclllo we "?npy ex. plained by the new uncertainty surrounding Its control, 'I hero were various rumors both to he effect that tho Vanderbllt Inter cst3 had perfected their control and that tho Harrlmati Interest had secured the maintenance of their control. Everv move ment In the stock, and every rumor regard ing me coniroi were looked upon with sus picion by the uneosv snectilnlor.4 as 11 de vice to further tho contest, and underlying 1111 was meir iireun inai wnen once the actual control Is decided the high price will not be maintained. The extreme ratine of the stock was 6 points and the net loss IS. Atchison advanced an extreme U'j und closed within 11 fraction of the best. St, Paul Is 2', hlcher on the ilnv. nhevnnenkn A Ohio 314 and Norfolk & Western 1U. The siockb included in the llurllngton deal, the Eric stocks not excluded, were all notably heavy. The heavy jirollt taking and weak ness of the I'nlted Stntes Steel stocks had 11 large sentimental Inlluence on the whole market. New York Central wus quite severely handled and loses 3TS on the day. Except for the few special points of strengtn tno market was, on the whole, re actionary. Tho money rate was distinctly llrmer. The closing of the mnrket was kmsv and almost weak, except for tho Ilnal spurt in Atchison. Union Pacific convertible bonds continued active and the bond market otherwise was irregular. Total shares par value, 17.1G3,Oti. United Slates registered coupons declined s on the last call.
