NEW YORK. Sept. 13.---The hotel and club
gossip last night was not bullish and the
brokers mournod the absence of recent out
side business. The big traders, including
Gould, Sage, and others, continued bullish,
but Woerishoefer, Smith, and Travers, with
the room traders and some street people, are
bears. Smith says now he was convinced
Aug. 90 that the corn crop would only amount
to a nubbin harvest. Ed Willard says his
Chicago kilograms declare that Now York
tickets sold in Chicago yesterday for $l6, and
this occasioned the attack on Lake Shore by
bears yesterday afternoon. The Vanderbilt
people say IL is not true that the trunk lines
have cut these rates, and If tickets are sold
lower it is by scalpers, who pay full rates
and sell below cost in interest of bear
ish stock iobbors. Vanderbilt's friends
say he is entirely Indifferent to the
bearish raids of room traders and he has no
stocks for sale. William Heath & Co. are
large borrowers Of Eric, and some think it is
for Gould TO control the next election, but
more likely it is for d. o. Mills David Dows
says corn along Rock Island lines was not in
iured by frost, and he reckons the crop at
1,S00,0O0,00O, allowing per cent. damages.
In connection with the election of Bald
win, of the Louisville and Nashville, to the
Western Union directory yesterday, 1T is said
he bought large block of the stock u few
days ago, and THAI Gould invested largely in
Louisville and Nashville. Mr.. Connor,
Gould's broker, would say nothing more yos-
terday than that Gould and Sage would enter
the directory of the Louisville and Nashville
at the next meeting.
