CHICAGO, Nov. GA better feeling has
prevailed in all the markets to-day. Wheat
is stronger tonight, oats frmer, corn up
again, and even provisions appear to have
ceased their dowoward march. November

The former is badly cornered both here
and in New York, and is bound TO come up

GOULD AND KEENE.

NAw YORK, Nov. 22.-Jay Gould, in
talk with reporter to-day said, he thought
tho decline in stocks had gone further than
any element in the situation would war
rant. An uneasy feeling as to what the
policy of the government might be with
regard to the management of the public
treasury has arisen, and this unsasiness
had resulted in calling loans TO large ex-
tent, which neesssitAtsd extensive liquida-
ton. For his own part he had not been
purchasing stocks until within the past
week, butwss now buying and should con-
time to buy stocks TO hold, - they were
cheap enough TO pay Z coed return fer
those Who soald take care Of them. Gould
said, the product of the southwest this year
was very large, and the bust
ness situation highly encouraging. The
cotton crop Of Texas would reach $4,000
bales, and that state had produced N i'm
nsnss crop of corn and vheat. Texas was
new exporting more eattls and wool than
ever before. Kansas has big crop, and
the sane IL true Of the middle section
the intermediate states. In tho southwest
railroad rates are being maintained, and
the reads are doing good business. There
il heavy immigration. and large num-
Dor of people are going in BY New Or
leans and Galveston. Speaking of the
troubles, Gould said ths chief difficulty
was in regard 10 the Bssssmer steel
industry, which had q sspso;ty for nxch
greater supply than the present
railroad building of the country demanded.
The iron interest was net depressed, and
10 understood it TO be doing fairly well.
The Vulcan Steel works of st. Louis would
probably shat down partially uatil they
could adjust thsir differences with labor
ers, but there was demand that vesld
keep the mills running, II net full time,
partially n least. Speaking generally Of
the railroad situation, Gould said The reads
were never In 50 good condition - de the
business of the country - at present. as
they had all taken advantage Of tl,s pros
ysrity Of the last few years - perfess
their equipments and pat then in nrst-
class order.
He said that On the Wabash system, the
average for flsl tho last meath had
only bssa $1.25 per ton, IN engine, which
was surprisingly lev for IN article that
entered 20 largely int The sost Of sPerat-
ing the read. Gould said there was little

About ffSesn million dollars wsrtA OF

street this afternoon is the rumor that Mr..
Gould has in contemplation new scheme
now in the shape of consolidation or
leases for bringing the Missouri Pacific,
Hannibal, st. Joe & Wabash, under
such control as will tend to the reduction
of expenses and rebound to the peculiar
benefit of each.
The short interest Western Union is sup
posed to be the largest ever known. There
are only 10000 shares on the market, and
the short interest is estimated at 10000,
one house alone being short Is, 900, another
$4,000 and another $4,000 shares. The
vigorous efforts of Mr.. Gould and Mr.. Van
derbilt, who are both working in accord,
stemmed the fierce current of the bears,
and while they could not dissipate the un-
settled tendency, seemed well satisfied that
no heavy break occurred.
One of the devices of the
bears was the dealing out
of score or more small lots of stock
in tens. ffteens, mines, twenties, twenty
fves. and fifteens. to give the impression,
no doubt, that small investors were scared,
and were running out of the market. All
these lines piled out one after another, and
uselessly consumed about yard of tape.
Another device was to borrow large sums
of money and leave them at the bank to
force up the rate, money loaned at 20
per cent. That is, the bulls say these
were bear devices.
The bulls keep up their courage. They
report cheerily that the suspension of the
temporary, and will be of
inestimable benefit to the scores
of railroads who have been waiting
for just such an opportunity to shake off
their old iron rails and indulge in the lux
ury of steel rails. Several roads are now
making heavy contracts with the mills for
steel rails at $40 ton. The Joliet mills
are said to have old contracts at $3.50 Sc
on hand tina: will keep them busy until
spring.
The Northwest situation presents no new
features of importance. The general
;opinion is that the fight is too hot to last.
Representatives of the roads engaged
Atk as if long contest was to be ap-
efrehended, but the indications are the
tr way. As far az can be learned
theGQ has been no making
of large contracts at low rates. Unless
,thx&War is speedily checked fresh eompli-
cations may arise that will prove ruinous.
Already are heard matterings from the di
visions between Chicago and Omaha, be-
tween Chicago and Kansas City, and from
the southwestern system.
The cast bound freight agents, in an at
