Jay Gould's Great Fortune.

Jay Gould has an income equal to a
small fortune every day. The New
York Journal sizes him up" as follows:
In round numbers the permanent invest
ment stocks appearing on Mr.. Gould's
schedule we're $50, 900 shares of West
ern Union telegraph, 10, 00G shares of
Missouri Pacific, 140 900 shares of Wa
bash common and 8 10000 shares of the
preferred, $4,000 shares of Kansas and
Texas, 40, 900 shares of Texas Pacific
and 10000 shares of Erie. There were
a large number of small lots of various
stocks, apparently only incidentally
held. Besides his railroad shares Mr..
Gould holds five and a half millions of
Wabash general bonds. At yesterdays
prices the value of these securities is
$40, 495, 900. Western Union and Mis-
sour Pacific pay dividends; the other
stocks do not. The bonds also bear in
terest. Between them they yield him
$4,140, 900 a year. His interest in the
Union Trust company and his loans are
profitable to him. The World building,
nominally owned by the Western Union
company, was built with his money.
In real estate, loans and mortgages he
has So, 00G, 900, and SO, 200, 900 more in
floating investments. His two resi-
dences represent another 81, 600, 900 and
his yatch $780, 600. His wealth, as
nearly as he can tigureit, is $50, 795, ALB,
and his income 81, $40, oil. Thus his
fortune earns him $12, S8S. 8S every day
and 1896 each minute.

Handsome Increase IN Business Over Indian

1t Will be noticed that nearly every road moved
more cars last week than in the preceding week,
and on several reads there were handsome gains,
yet there were received and forwarded at lndl-

in 1882, 3, 1853 more loaded cars than in the week
ending Aug f6, 1884, SO there Is large room for
Improvement and the indications are that while
there is to be no boom IN traffic it is to improve
from this on until quite satisfactory
tonnage is carried. East bound the in

shipments to the seabeard continuing light.

been marked increase in business the last few
days, it being local in character. Livestock
traffic is on the increase and from this class OF
