GOULD A BEAR.
His Attack Oh Stocks VictOriuOsly
Repulsed.
He Is Said to be Short and Will Cover In-He
May Follow His Tactics 1879 Of
and Turn Bull

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch. |
New YORK, Sept. 26.-The opening of the
market and the course of prices on. the
stock exchange yesterday demonstrated that
the desperate attack by Jay Gould, father
and son, and their associates on the public
confidence in higher prices had been vic
toriously repulsed. AS a prominent Wall
street man remarked, the Gould proceed
ings concerning the Missouri Pacific divi-
dend had not taken bushel of corn from
the farmers and had not affected the scare
ity of crops on the other side. The prices,
after wavering for moment at the start,
went right forward, and when o. m came
Mr.. Gould, TO judge from the appearance of
the battlefield, had been routed. 1t is be-
lieVed that he will carry on the fight for
lower prices. Both Jay Gould and his son
will cover in their shorts on the most ad-
Vantageous terms they can secure. It is
even predicted Gould will turn around, as
he did in 1879, and take hand in the bull
market that he cannot check. with the idea
Of recovering some of his losses. In 1879 he
fought advancing prices until they were
twenty-five points beyond him. A pool
in which ]. R. Kesne was inter
ested, squeezed him in what was known
as northwest corner, and he was COM
PEELED TO pay out very considerable
quantity of Union Pacific stock to settle.
Then he jumped in and swan with the tide.
and in the end about squared his trans
actions. This time it looks as though he
were going to get out of his trouble before
prices get as far beyond him as before.
How great the short interest of the
Gould contingent in the market is cannot
be exactly told, though all sorts of guesses
are current. One is that the shortage is
100000 shares OF stock. This is probably
an exaggeration, because if the market
were against this per cent it would mean
a loss of 50, O00.0 The market is against
the interest more than 5 per cent, but the
number of shares of stock involved is con-
siderably smaller than 100000 1t may
be said without hesitation, however, that
the Could losses will be enormous
