A SQUEEZE IN ERIE. i
The Erie stock has been cornered here
by three German banking houses. The
price advanced rapidly TO G4s, with | per
cent per day paid for It's use. hr. Drew
Is said to be the sufferer. The price has
now fallen TO G3t, with T per cent per day
paid for use. 1t is supposed the corner
will bo protrRcted until about Wednesday,
when the arrival OF stock by European
steamer will probably dissipateit. Some
talk Of making the stock worth 6 per
cent per day, but this looks unlikely.
Tho PoG says that Drew, instead ol
being a sufferer by the rise in Erie, really
engineered the corner, and that Jay
Gould has no interest in tho present
movement. The German bankers were
free sellers yesterday, probably expecting
to be able 10 make good their delivery.
Drew, 1t is said,. quietly bought all tle
stock offered, amounting 10 ten thousand
shares. The sellers will not be able to
produce their stock until tho arrival ol
tho Liverpool steamer. g..
NEW York, July 10-EveniDg-Thc
Post in It's latest edition cOntradiCts its
statement madO earlier in the day that
Drew manipulated the corner in Eric, and
SAYS II Is very well understood that nearly
ali the stock is held in Europe, princi-
pallv in London. Since the recent cleo
lion there has been disposition TO cell
stock on the part of English holders, and
they have, the price being higher here
than In London, sent over orders to sell
In this market. Their brokers have exc
cuted the orders, selling in advance Of the
arrival OF stock, trusting 10 their ability to
borrow it for deliveries from day to day.
The result is that these few German bank.
ing firms who held Erie here availed
themselves o. the situation, and reiuBed
to lend their stock or 10 sell II except at
high prices. They have the power, and
probably will keep the corner up until the
steamers arrive having on board the Eric
stock recently shipped here from London.
The Coroner's jury in the case OF the
Deputy United States Marshal rendered a
verdict that he came 10 his death by stab
wounds inflicted by Jacob MeChella, and
the prisoner was remanded TO jail.
