HERALD reporter, yesterday while the North

Gould in Broad street. and the following delightful
conversation ensued:-

"Mr. Could am an xi0us to ask you some Ques-

"well, do not care about being interviewed
and have no time now, but you can come up to

HERALD representative left the speculating region
and in the evening paid visit to Mr. Gould at his
residence on Fifth avenue. He found the success

he. however, Immediately laid aside and the fol-
lowing conversation ensued:-

the stock market during the past few days.

not donc anything myself to make IL lively. 1t is
simply bear panic.

low prices made on the Monday morning. They

AT THE FIFTH AVENUE HOTEL.
Scenes and Spec ula tlons Regarding the
Upshot OF Gould's Coup d'Etat.

Scenes and Spec ul1 tlOns Regarding the
Upshot OF Gould's Coup d'Etat.
The halls and corridors OF the Fifth Avenue HOTEL
which, as q rule. are comparatively quiet after
business hours, wore an animated aspect last
evening. A great number OF gentlemen congre-
gated in groups, discussing the latest sensation
and all-absorbing topic OF the day-the corner in
Northwestern. The assemblage was. however,
much smaller and less demonstrative than ON
the previous evening. as II in the usual course Of
nature q reaction had set in after the terrible
excitement Of the last two days. 1t seemed either
the wearness after q hard-fought battle or the
lull before another storm. To Judge from the sur
face OF things, there Is an armistce between the
two high ~ belligerent parties-one being appar-
emily engaged In counting the loss and saving "a
much as possible from the wreck, and the other In
realizing what gain there IL to be had.
But few OF those bearing prominent
part In the fray we're visible at the
Fifth Avenue Hotellast evening Five or six Of them
dropped in for Q few minutes and were immedi-
ately surrounded by c0ngratulating or compassion
