ROADS, BONDS, STOCKS, ETC.
NEW YORK, Nov. 22.--Jay Gould
talked this afternoon about the fDan1
cial situation. He thought better
times were at hand for Wall street.
Mr.. Gould has been credited with
large purchases of stocks during the
past few days. "The financial aituaI
ton is improving" said Mr.. Could
Money that has been hidden away
in old stockings is being brought out
to take advantage of the bargains in
stock. The effect of these purchased
must soon be felt. Not only is money
brought into Wall street by them, but
stocks are at the same time taken out
of the streets. Confidence is being re-
stored and securities are beginning to +
see that it is foolish to sacrifice them
at the existing prices.
''ls there a prospect of the estab-
lishIneat of permanent peace among)
the Western railroads." N
"The disturbances among Western
railroads have been so serious in their
consequences that they have brought
the stockholders to the front and they|
demand settlement of the troubles.
hardly look for permanent peace
among the railroads until the mill
lenium. But if peace were secured
for only year that would be great
deal. 1t would afford a good breath
ing spell"

again acquired control of the Union
Pacific Railroadr

among the Western and transconti-
mental lines"
