Market turmoil and railroad plan debates in New York
The New York market yesterday ran ragged as Southwestern roads delayed clearing house plans. Bearish talk dominated with long stock selling and rising short interest, while a rally of about five points was anticipated.

News touched on the Union Pacific backing Jay Gould’s clearing house scheme, Nicaragua Canal Construction Company fundraising, and Silver King Mining seeking a New York transfer office with a December 15 subscription deadline.
