Pacific Leads Gould Shares Rise Amid Strong Market

The Washington Post reports May 18 that Pacific stocks powered gains with Missouri Pacific rallying on large short interest and forced covering. Union Pacific and Southern Pacific led early modest advances, while other Gould issues such as Denver and Rio Grande and Western Union Telegraph rose. The session saw widespread strength in rail plays, with key industrials higher later and calls for gold demand noted amid broader market anxieties. A Tidewater notes sale to a syndicate sought to retire debt and fund construction, against a backdrop of tax and regulatory developments shaping railroad financing and corporate capitalization.
