Wheeling & Lake Erie went up 10 points on the opening transaction on the market today, 500 shares selling at 105. The preferred stock was also in urgent demand, opening tip 4 points at 83%.

By 11:15 a. m. the price had leached 130, up 35, from yesterday’s close. One thousand shares sold at that figure. That meant soiye one was paying $130,000 for a thousand shares of stock which he could have bought early in January for $27,500. The Dow-Jones financial news service put out an analysis of the stock, whigh estimated that in view nf the announced purchases by the New York Central, Baltimore & Ohio and Nickel Plate interests, there probably* remained less than shares of the stock available trading.
