Wisconsin Central - strategic Position

Since the admission of J.P. Morgan that the purchase of control of the Wisconsin Central was considered by him at the time of the Northern Pacific-Burlington deal, Wall Street has given considerable attention to the strategic position of the road.  At the same time there have appeared in the market some large buying orders for Wisconsin Central stocks, these orders being understood to come from Chicago and St. Louis interests.  The talk now is of an alliance of some sort between Wisconsin Central and Illinois Central.
