A Corner in Wall Street.
Northwestern Common Is Forced from 95
TO 2OO-The Most Exciting Day Among
Stock Brokers for Many Wears.

NEW YORK, Nov. 22-The Tribune's money
article says that, very UNEXPECTEDLY, the market
opened with quiet and eager demand for money
and gold, the one commanding a fun quarter
per cent bonus per diem, while gold went as high
as II per cent The two corners were doubtless
the direct emanation of one head, though the
scarcity of gold was due to the co operation of
one of the Canada banks The squeeze to-day
is understood by knowing ones, 10 be the re-
suit of the cogitatons of a distinguished operator
who is heavily short of Northwestern common,
but if connected for the purpose of intmidating
the prime movers in Northwestern, it sadly
failed of success. While this stock ruled
practically quiet enough during the forenoon at
9Oa95, the afternoon brought with it such sud-
den jump as might well cause most serious
alarm among the unfortunate shorts, and by
this time the great Methodist reiormer must
"know how it is himself" The price advanced
by rapid strides several points at a
time, until at the close 200 was bid =,
and parties who had been led 10 sell these
shares at 80 on Wednesday found themselves
left out in the cold. So complete has been the
corner that nothing apparently remains undone
to give it greater success, and it stands alone
and unparalleled in the history of TIE street for
the last few years, and wildly recalls the fam
Gus Harlem corner.

is said to have remarked to one of his friends,
an make that little monkey (meanng Could
grind an organ vet for his living" and further
said he would ruin him in a week.
In the meantime Gould, by skilful manipula-
tiOnS managed TO get both Smith and Drew
short on Northwestern, and then run up the
stock as was done to-day 10 5000. 1t is said
that Smith, finding himself short, asked Gould
10 let him have $4,000 shares of that stock,
threatening 10 bring the present suit against
him IN case of refusal. Gould, however, would
not accede TO the demand, and hence the suit
and present arrest
As Gould left his office this afternoon, to give
bail at the sheri's office, he gave orders to his
brokers not 10 sell share of the stock at any
price. Trayers & Duncan, who became sureticS
on the order of arrest, are said 10 be short on
Northwestern to a considerable amount.
1t is asceriained that the Gould clique have q
call" on 10000 shares more than the whole
capital stock of the company, so that the North
western stock is virtually not purchasable at
any price, except with the good will of holders
The expectation is general that the next move
in the game will be an attempt on the part of
Smith ana his allies to obtain from the supreme
court writs of injunction against the stock eX-
change TO prevent buying.
Henry N. Smith is said to be short 10000
shares, and Daniel Drew 900 shares, of North.
western common.
