ERIE
The rumors about Erie continue to mu
tipy. Among the New York broker
some are of the opinion that the late brea
in Erie in London was the result of Am,
rican tactics introduced on the London L,
change, 1t will be remembered that d
soon as the news of the failure of Kimbc
x Co. was made known here, Mr.. Chapi
of Osborn x Chaplin, one of the confder
tial agents of Jay Gould, took the fir,
steamer for Europe, and has been there fc
some days. Knowing that his principi
was short of Eric to very large amour
and possibly seeing a weak point in I'll
market, Chaplin may have gone f,
"scalps," and after all the break of yeste
day and to-day may be the indirect resu
of his manipulations in the London f.
change.
