The weakness of Manhattan during the
last week has been a matter of interest
to many people VINO are fond of specu-
lating in the stock of the Elevated"
Seemingly the stock has no friends Its
downward path has been an uninterrupt-
ed one. Manhattan has many enemies.
and is regarded by them as a stock that
it is very much the better part of vaIor
not to speculate in. 1t is so entirely con-
trolled by its clique that the outward
seeming of the situation very often bears
no relation to its movements. Just at
present there is talk of the clique in this
decline, and ii may be that there will be
rally of sensational character before
many days. On the other hand there is
quite much probability that nothing
of the kind will occur. 1t is very GER
tain that the preparations of the Metro
politan Street Railroad to handle its traf-
fic by electric power is having a depress-
ing effect on Manhattan. It is thought
that President Gould will take up the
question of an electrical equipment for
Manhattan next month, immediately up-
on his return from Europe. 1t is posi-
Bile that this will have a good effect on
the stock. Some of his directors shrink
at the expense, but he usually has his
way in everything pertaining3to the road
and ii is generally believed that he is con-
vinced that the electricaIequipmen is an
absolute necessity.
