stock |" corner, which hos created 80 much
excitement 81 The city OF New York ana
elsewhere this week, eliminated Tnesday
AFTERNOON. when the stock declined. and WA
offered at 100, with s5s bid. tt Is stated That
all the settlements We're nrmonio,isly per.
tected. The New York Eceaiag Post saws
| The corner in the Northwest is now O
thing OF the past, all the settlements possible
| 10 make having been made, and privately, so
! sfat the terms cannot be obtained for pnbli-
ct,on. Inc stock, which has been held at
Log 90 1Ue since saturday, was offered late
TINS afternoon at loo, with no bidders. A
oetter feeling now prevails in Wall street,
anu money Is easier. The policy of the
northwest clique has been to squeeze its VIC
ttins as much as possible without breaking
thcm. Where man could afford to pay
only 100 in settlementthis was accented. but
where he was rich and could stand it 200 was
eNacted, and in some cases more. This pol-
Icy explains why there have been no failures.
1t Is good deal gllcss-work in regard to the
profits Of the clique, but Stock Exchange
people estimate that the clique has taken in
in cash between S3,500,000 and $4,000, 900,
and that one to two millions difference re-
man TO be adjusted By the courts of law.
Inc Northwest corner now passes from Wall
street INTO The courts, where, with the Erie
suit against Gould, it will divide the atten-
ton heretofore bestowed on the city ring

The following is Commodore Fandcrbits
card rcpudiating any connection with JAY
Gould:
"The recent corner in Northwestern ,
has caused some considerable excitement in
Wall street and has called forth much COM
Wcnt from the press. My name has been
associated with that Of Mr., Jay Gould and
others III connection with the speculation,
and gross Injustice has been done me there
by. be- leave. therefore. to say (once tor
aiD that have not had, either directly or in
directly, the slightest connection with or in.
terc>t i'll the matter.
" have had but one business transaction
with Mr., Gould in my life. In July, 1865.
sold him lot OF stock, for which he paid
me, and tho privilege of call for further
lot, which he also settled. Since then have
had nothing TO do with him in any way
whatever, nor do | mean ever to have, unless
it be to defend myself | have, besides, al
ways advised all my friends to have nothing
10 do with him in any business transaction.
l came to this conclusion after taking particu
lar notice of his countenance. The almost
constant parade, therefore, of my name in
association with his seems very much like All
attempt to m!Slcad the public to my injury,
and after the publication Ct this, ignorance
or transformation can no longer be urged us
| IN excise for continuing in this course.
"As for Wall-Strcct sicculations, know
nothing about them. do not even see the
street three times in Il year, and no person
there has any authority to use my name or
to include me in any speculative operation
whatever. G. FANDERBlLT."
A reporter Of the New York Sun, who
photographed Henry \. Smith, the bear, who
has been creating such sensation in North
western, thus draws his brush as between
Smith and JAY Gould:
"Phy,cily Mr.. Smith is no larger than
Jay Gould. In every other respect he is the
direct opposite. He is light compleyioned.
while Gould is dark. His eyes are of keen
gray; Gould'S are inky black. lie wears III
enormous red nluStiche and red mutton
| chop whiSkcrS. GOuld's beard runs around
his chin, and both wbiSkcrS and mustachc
are closely trimmed and black. Smith wore
no hat, and his straight light hair was primiy
parted in the middle. Gould invariably
wears a beaver hat, and his hair is rs dark as
4 ravens wing and Inclined TO curl. Smith
has Il long nose, GEsSivcly defined fora small
man. Guu!d's nose is Of Jewish cast, and
delcltcly cut. Smith is quick Of motion,
and his words chase each other out of his
mouth like pigeons pouring out Of Il dove
cote. Gould is extremely passive, and
talks rs though ne was talking under pro-
to~I -"
