IN. Y. SUM-
Wall street is famous for getting up all
sorts of queer stories, and one of the
latest is that Jay Gould's new deal In the
ex-Villard stocks was the result of tacit
understanding between him and Mr.. I. J..
Coolidge and Mr.. w. Endicott, Jr. The
former gentleman is now President of the
Oregon Navigation Company, and the lat
ter President of the Oregon Transconti-
mental. They are also both of them di.
rectors Of the Chicago, Burlington G. Quin-
cy Railroad Company, which Is the great
rate-fghter of the Northwest. Mr.. Gould
knew that he could not possibly sustain
market in the face of a Western railroad
war, and the two above-named Yankee
gentlemen knew that he knewi.. So when
the Oregon Transcontinental came last
week to the point Of being declared q
bankrupt, they went to Mr.. Gould and
asked his assistance in exchange for their
efforts to settle the Northwestern Difficult.
ties amicably.
Gould, Of course, Immediately grasped
the situation, and with the assistance OF
Russell Sage and a few other friends, who
keep heavy banking accounts for just such
emergencies, went boldly into the new
combination. He has no use for the stock
of the Oregon Navigation, Oregon Trans.
continental or. Northern Pacific, but he
bought these stocks for the sake of
preventing collapse in the general
market, which would have been sure to
take place had the loans of the o. I. not
been made good on Saturday last, and the
collaterals thrown upon the market.
Apart from that he saw a chance to
squeeze the shorts in these stocks, and TO
make turn which was likely at leass par
TALLY to refund him for the outlay. He
has SO far fully succeeded in this new en-
terprisc, and a number Of bears, mostly
alternating on Exchange Place, seem to
have got severely hurt.
The story goes that Mr.. Woerishoffer,
among them, was heavily short Of the va
rious ex-Villard stocks, especially Of tho
Oregon Navigation. Upon hearing on Sat
urday of the difficulties the Oregon Trans.
continental was placed in he sent a Mr..
Knobloch to bid for large amount of
stock, and offered rather higher figures
than Mr.. Gould did. But his offer was re-
fused, and the stocks were sold to Mr..
Gould's syndicate. On Monday, so the
story continues, the same Mr.. Woerish-
offer offered 100000 TO be let out OF his
short contracts, but he received the an

things was on tho floor of the Stock Ex.
