FACTS ABOUT MANHATTAN.

At the recent annual meeting OF the Manhattan
Railway Company the books showed that the
Gould holdings of the stock were larger than ever
before and that the number OF stockholders had
been reduced by the passing Of the stock from
weak to strong hands This statement comes from
official Sources. Regarding Manhattan and its re-
Iatons with the Tammany administration there
appears little reason for uneasness on the part OF
Manhattan stockholders. the company recently
lent the city according 10 the authority OF a well
Informed banker. 100000. The Manhattan com
pany's balance sheet for the September quarter
shows that II has outstanding loans OF $4,000 600
representing a part Of the income received from
Tho recent sale Of SIS 100000 of stock As the banks
have been asking all kinds OF rates for money II is
likely that the city has borrowed from the Man
haitian company the amount reported. Stockholders
OF Manhattan need not worry about its relations
with the city but they may well feel gloomy over
the report OF earnings for the last quarter.

a belief that the market had been sofa 10 d

rnents in the financial situation. further extern
slve liouidation would not develop. Bear liter
ature sent out on Sunday expressed the senu-
ment that the money market would require
further liouidation in stocks before the supply
Of lendable capital at this centre would increase
sufficiently to permit higher values for securi-
,ies This idea was EXPRESSED in the hope that
renewed liquidation would take place. but from
the money and stock market point Of view there
IS no actual necessity for further sales Of stocks
There Is enough money for all legitimate mar
ket requirements and there is no warrant Tor a
rate in excess Of 6 per cent. The movement OF
the foreign exchange market suggests the posi-
bty Of gold imports while interior exchanges
should soon begin to move in favor OF this city
As to gold imports the situation is complicated

creasing pressure of cotton bills now coming on
the market. are indications that gold will move
this way within a short time. II gold should
come to this country in any volume, it would be
a sorry day for the shorts in the stock market.
Stock market shorts are banking on continued
stringency in money and further manipulation
of money rates AS the market has already
been sold on these influences. and as weak hold
ings have been pretty thoroughly eliminated,

reason to believe that of the more i'm

fight out the bear campaign. Big bears do not
stay short Of stocks when the bear campaign is
being entered into enthusiastically by the small
traders. who never sell short until prices have
about touched bottom. The same kind OF small
traders seldom buy until bull movement has
grown old and shaky. 1t now looks as II the
people who sell short at this time would find
themselves the followers of lost cause.
