Fascination of Manipulation

THIS subject Of manipulating the market seems to
possess strange fascination for many people.
They want to be told all about it. Evidently they
think that it contains the of successful stock
speculation They forget that even expert manipu-
1ators sometimes come to grief. Goulds great for
tune for instance was made by manipulating rail-
roads, not by manipulating the market, much as he
was engaged in the latter. The nsider has of
great advantage over the outside, and yet it is
the experience of Wall Street that there is often
nothing more dangerous than piece of inside in
formation.
1t would seem as if nobody had better oppor-
tunity for making big money in the stock market
is supposed to have shot himself recently, and yet
with all his inside information he became involved
in stock-market losses. Manipulation is, in fact,
forces, and utterly collapses under some such
sudden calamity as the San Francisco fire. 1t
works best when acting in unison with economic

of new securities as to a simple
deal by some expert professional.
This may be accompanied by
methods of trickery that amount
to criminality, or by nothing more
than the simple art of forcing the
card SO cleverly practised by pres
tidigitateurs in their card tricks.
The public thinks it is making it's
own choice, but in reality it is buy

Some twenty years SO ago the West
Shore bonds drug in the market. No
body wanted them. They represented prac-
tically only strike the New York Central

~ but Vanderbilt wouldn't buy.

took them when offered with the persistent reckless
ness often displayed by men whose brains in
famed by alcohol. 1t regarded almost
joke to sell the bonds to him. He became in fact
convenient dumping ground for holders of the
despised bonds who were eager to sell.
This went for sometime until one day Wall
Street was startled by the announcement that Van
derbit had bought the West Shore, and that it
would become part of the New York Central
system. Then it became evident that this despised
broker had been the agent of clever manipulation
in the purchase of these bonds. If a bigger
reputable broker had been employed, suspicion
would have been excited that he representing
responsible interests, and the price would have
advanced rapidly. But instead of regarding the
transactions in the bonds as a process of absorp-
ton the street had got the idea that it was good

Oil people, as the case may
be, are buying, when the truth
is that some skilful manipulation
is covering his tracks.
At one time Gould was in a
tight place in the market, and
in order to save himself went to
his enemy, the noted bear
WOerrishoffer, who generously
took fifty thousand shares of
Western Union off his hands.
When Woerrishoffer sold the
stock, it was called "short sell
ing" or "a bear raid" when in
reality it was the marketing of
long stock. Such an operator
as Gould, by employing a num-
Der of brokers lin the gold corner
he had as many as fifty acting
for him), is able to mix up his
transactions SO completely as to
conceal his position, and make
the street think that he is bull,
when perhaps he is really selling,
or that he is a bear, when he is
really buying,

laws. In the long run, prices
are controlled by the basic
facts of the earning power of
the country. For long periods
manipulation may delay the
operation OF natural influences.
1t may defy tight money or
short crops or failing business,
but eventually these influences
will hold sway.
1t is one of the tricks of the
manipulation to disguise his
operations under the mask of
plausible reason why there
should be an advance or a
decline in prices. For instance,
when Gould was manipulating
the market and incidentally
wrecking the Erie Railroad, he
was posing as an antimonopo-
list, a public. benefactor, and
thus an agent of prosperity.
Charles Francis Adams de-
scribed this as "unspeakable
effrontery." So distrustfu1is the

advanced the theory that every man was an actor.
Gould certainly had splendid talent for dramatic
effect. He was small man, with mild, inoffensve
manner and weak voice, SO that to the casual
observer he gave sign of intellectual power. 1t
actually seemed at times as if Gould desired to con-
vey that impression. Nevertheless, he was one of
the most brilliant of his day. Russell Sage once
said of him: " He is the chief among us ALL a most
wonderful thinker and leader
Charles w. Dow, the founder of 1.-The Wall Street
Journal was gifted with a mathematical mind
of remarkable depth, and a wonderful memory
of unfailing accuracy. He was for years a student
of stock-market strategy and the inventor of the
only satisfactory system by which speculative
movements may be measured. At time Dow
had business with Gould that required him to be
in the atters office for upward of four hours. During
all this time Gould, although engaged in almost
continuous consultation with Dow, was giving
orders to his brokers to buy or sell stocks. Here
was manipulation in plain view, with the manipu-
latOr to speak, occupying the center of the stage
1t was evidently important operation in which
the celebrated Spectator engaged for the orders
We're large and frequent. Yet there nothing
in his manner that displayed anxiety, excitement,
even ordinary concern, and he made no attempt
to conceal what he was doing from Dow.
Trying to Ana1yze Gould
THE editor, of course, took notes, but with his
marvellous memory he stored up a complete re-
cord OF Gouds transactions so that when he reached
his own office he was able to put down upon paper
in regular rotation the orders Gould had given and
the amounts of stock bought sold and the prices
Then, with this before him, Dow brought his anav-

ability and knowledge, this student of strategy was
unable to determine whether Gould was a bull or a
bear whether he was accommodating stocks for rise
or selling them for a fall
No better illustration of the art by which the skill
full manipulation may conceal what he is doing could
be given than that. There are as many infinite
variations in manipulation as there are combinations
in pack of tytwo cards, but the purpose of it all
is to conceal ones own game and at the same time
to place ones orders in such way as shall create
market in which to sell at profit or else to de-
press prices to be able to buy with advantage
This applies equally to grand operation involving
the marketing of a mighty syndicate's holdings
