upon the part of either bulls or bears to cause a
movement it was only remarkable that the market

direction is to be accounted for rather by the fact
that the natural tendency Of values is an upward

As, for example, there existed popular belief that
Gould. squrming under pressure of short con
tracts in the Northwestern shares has been busily
exercised to-day in endeavoring to straighten him
self out with the bulls who helped to make them.
At least popular rumor went that way-going far,
in fact. to affirm that protracted and clandestine
meetings had been held to-day. in which the sup
plant bear had gone down upon his marrow bones
before the victorious bulls, and had asked for mercy
snd for shares. Without claiming that this report
Is strictly true it was sufficiently credited to give
fresh tone to the market and to set traders buying
under the belief that Gould had been permitted to
sover his shorts and that he to a considerable
extent identified with the long side of the market.
Under this impression prices advanced, the most
favorable showing being in the grangers. Delaware
and Lackawanna, and Erie.
