to tho repression of the specie current toward the

MONEY EASIER.
The money market, while stringent np to within
a few minutes or three o'clock, was perceptibly
easier, an l the real quotation for the day was 7
j>er cent gold a 1-3-' per cent, although as high us
l-ia was paid at one period In the afternoon. At
live minutes to three o'clock the quotation was 7
a 7 gold, aud the last dealings were at plain 7 per
celt, with a good deal more offering on the same
terms. The domestic exchanges are turning in
favor of this city, so that there Is a diminishing
apprehension or a continuance of the present
activity in the money market. Thus

mium, although money in that city is really scarce

little or no relaxation In the terms for mercantile
paper, wliljh is dliilcult or negotiation at less than
1 a ly per cent a month even for the class of

to say why this discrimination is so marked this
year, unless on tho hypothesis that the capital
which habitually deals iu p:ipcr does not increase
as last as the mercantile business of the country.
With all the high rates referred to. there Is no lees
contldeuce in the average paper of the market than
there was a year or two ago. But, as must be evi
dent, the growth of the capital which makes a

STOCKS BUOYANT AND HtUQEIl.
The better news from London and the easier dis
position of the money market, aided by the prestige
given the "bulls'' by the extraordinary success of
the "corner" in Northwestern, all combined to im
part a strong and buoyaut tone to the speculation
at the Stock Exchange, with a resulting considera
ble advance in prices. At the outset of the up
ward movement there was some scepticism of its
outlasting rlie day, for the reason that the first im
pulse was believed to have been communicated by
the "bears" themselves in their ctrorts to close
their interest, a theory initially confirmed by
heavy purchases of
NOKTU WESTERN PREFERRED
and Lake Shore, to cover speculative sales out
standing for the account of Ilenry N. smith and
the numerous party who generally side with him
in his operations at the Stock Exchange. The ad
vance in Northwestern preferred was, next to and
after the continued sensation in the common
stock, the chief feature of the day, the price open
ing at 60% and rising to 102, with a reaction to92ju'
and a closing rally to 68 a 97, the buying among
parlies outside the "snorts" being stimulated by a
rumor that some provision of the contract under
which the preferred stock was created had been
discovered allowing its conversion into the now
very
DESIRABLE COMMON STOCK.
The sharp-witted German brokers saw the chance
for a handsome margin or profit between the New
York and Amsterdam markets, and sold millions
of the Btock here, and Immediately cabled
across for the low-priced stock, which the
slumbeious burghers of the Netherlands were
quite willing to sell at an equivalent of
87 a 83. It is said that Mynheer Von
Koopfmannschoopf, who bought so much North
western preferred a year or so since, as duly re
corded in the IIkhali) at the time, was frantic
with Joy at the extraordinary demand for his
patiently held investment. The next feature was
Pacific Mail, which, under a fresh move of the lever
by
THE 8TOCKWBLL PARTY,
was run up from 87 to 01?;. The rest of the list
advanced l a a per cent, Lake Shore, on the rumor
above mentioned that Henry Smith was heavily
short of It, rising to 82Ji. Northwestern common
was too high-priced a luxury to tempt a geueral
indulgence In it, and it was left accordingly to
those who were compelled to have dealings in it.
The price was fixed for a time at 150, as If for a
basis of settlement again, but varied subsequently
from 140 to 200, with a lew sales of "odd" lots at as
low as 130. The relations of Gould and Smith were
discussed as much as ever, only that the
MTbTKRY OK THEIR POSITION
was somewhat cleared up by a transaction "under
the rule" at the Board this afternoon, whereat
4,obo shares of Northwestern were bought in lor
account of Drake Brothers, at the instance of Gar
land, Martin a Co. From the statement given In
explanation by Drake Brothers it appears that the
stock in dispute had been sold "short" by Smith
In the ofl'ieo of Garland, Martiu A Co., of which
Smith and Gould arc ihe special partners and
"Co." The transaction had, of course, to be con
cealed from the knowledge oi Gould, and Drake
Brothers were asked as a favor to borrow and
clear the Ktock for Garland, Martin & Co.
Ct'RIOfSI.Y ENOtOJT,
the stock was borrowed from the flvm of Joslyn,
Bach & Co., of which Smith and Gould arc also
special partners. The interchange or the stock
and of the equivalent check was made through the
house of Drake Brothers, and the transaction ended
there fo fir as the latter are concerned, the sub
sequent renewals of the loan being made by the
principals themselves. Now, Smiih in the
one firm nsed Gould's stock in the other,
so that when Gould wanted his stock back Smith
was sorely distraught to get It. The Drake
Brothers, as an intermediary, were called upon
for the stock, but very f aturally disclaimed their
responsibility. The stock was bought in for their
account, and under their protest and appeal the
whole transaction goes up to the Arbitration Com
mittee for adjudication. As a revelation of the
DUMONO-C't."M>!AJIONI?
strategy of the great "bull" ond the great
"bear" in the Northwestern speculation-ana
in their two firms, tne developments this
afternoon arc very interesting. Hannibal and
St. Joseph advanced to 36V? and some
parties fancy that this means another trap of
Could to catch smith. Notice was given to the
Board tills morning of the Intended con version of
I'enlnsula liatlroad mortgjgo bonds into common
and preferred Northwestern *tvvk? under the privi
lege retained in the consolidation of the two lines;
but the Board rule J that the bonds having been
convertible all along no such preliminary notifica
tion of conversion was neccssary. The amount
stated was only $445,000.

THE EXCITEMENT SUBSIDING.
The Settling Up Still Going On?The
"Corner" Yet Unbroken?Scenes and
Gossip In the Hive of Stock Gamblers.
The corner in Northwest continued again yester.
day on the part of the victorious leaders of the
movement with unabated cruolty. Of course, for
the preseut, speculation In the stock has been
completely suspended, and, therefore, the quota
tions on the tape, while they wcro not very numer
ous, represeuted an unbroken and melancholy
array of losses. As on Saturday, the nnfortunate
victims of tho corner amusod themselves In the
pleasant duty of "making a settlement." It
was really very good fun watching tho long string
of operators or agents of operators who stood in
line at Osborn A Chapin's oftlcc. In Broad street,
waiting for a chance to stop into the private omco
and close out "that little uccount." Most of thorn
were
THE SMALLER I'K V
of tho market, who had been caught on small
"flyers" of a hundred to Ave hundred shares.
They had gone in, perhaps, for the sake of a "short
turn," selling on tho chance of making one or two
per cent profit. And now they were very much
In tho position or some antediluvians who had been
engaged iu draining their back gardens when they
were overtaken by the great flood. The profits of
the lucky bulls who have engineered the corner
must have been enormous. Twelve thousand dol
lars or thereabouts will have to bo paid on every
hundred sharea of the oversold stock. An
AMOUNT LIEU TUAT
on even a small lot is enough to make a man grind
his teeth with rage and despair. But the leaders
of tho corner behaved through yesterday with a
moderation and forbearance that would have been
highly laudable If It had only been actuated by an
unselfish motive. Once they let the stock drop
down to as low as 130. This was at the second
board, tho price sinking steadily from somewhere
in the sixties. Until Northwest was called tlio
brok6rs were scattered all over the room, but the
Vice President enforced the attention of the Board
by a half a dozen or so of stout raps with his gavel,
uitd there was at once
a met hush
to the table in the front of tho desk. Every man
In the room joined this mob of frantic creatures,
and tho hail resounded with shouts that, would
liavo appalled the hearts of even the dwellers at
BloomIngdale. Tho stock seemed to travel
steadily down, so far an an outsider could detect,
and at each ten per cent milestone on its descend
ing career there was a
YELL OF GLEEFUL
satisfaction. Most of 1 ho men present would have
been delighted to see it sink utterly out of exist
ence, and If it could further have become a minus
quantity, which, alas! Is only possible ofalgebraic
problems, and the accounts or the treasurers of
charities, they would have cheerfully surrendered
a year of their life, or one of their index lingers.
Kevenge at any price was, indeed, tho
POPULAR SENTIMENT
or the hour, and when at last the bidding closed at
130 hopes wera Indulged In that by sonic circum
stance as yet unknown to the general public the
corner had collapsed. These expectations were,
however, doomed to disappointment, and later In
the day, when, to meet the necessities of "settling
up," heavy blocks of the slock had to bo sold out
under the rule, Jay (.'ould and his partners, who
ever they are, vindicated anew their power and
struck terror into the souls of their foes bv push
ing up the quotations to the old, melancholy, ruin
ous figure of 200.
Humors were rife during the day, and perhaps
tho most amusing was one to the clt'ect that a new
issue of 440,000 shares was tb be made. This was a
canard of the purest and most unmitigated de
scription. Its foundation was simply that a gentle
man wiio held some convertible bonds had the right
to claim on them about two thousand shares of
common stock. _Jh]s was nt the beat but a
'drop in the "bucketT
flpd even this was subsequently announced to b<5
without foundation. White it lusted, however, it
again served to demonstrate tho bitter feeling tliat
is consuming the entrails of the vanquished vic
tims of the eugineers 01 the corner. ICvery 0110
who heard tho story was wild with ecstatic exulta
tion and rubbed tiis hands with glee at the pros
pect. And correspondingly long were the faces
and ruetul and profane the liionosUlabie ejacula
tions when this thirst lor revenge was disap
pointed.
tiie excitement,
however, was plainly less than on Saturday. Most
of the smaller victims have parted with the pound
of flesh claimed from them and only a few 01 the
bigger operators remain to swell the cotrers 01 tho
victims. When these will seitle up is as yet un
decided, and perhaps they will find It impossible to
do so. The interest of the operators who were not
entangled In tho matter, however, Is already
played out, and even this hugest of comers?for. In
its llnanclal results, it is the most, serious undoubt
edly that Wall street has ever known?will fail to
be a lull-fledged nine days' wonder. By the way,
that proverb had better for the Tnture be some
what curtailed; It did very well for the da.vs betove
the deluge, but iu an era of the locomotive and tlie
telegraph wire it Is not a very forcible expression.
INTEEVIEW WITH HENHY N.
SMITH.
Yesterday afternoon, when tlie Stock Exchange
hacl closed, the writer had an Interview with Henry
N. Smith ill regard to his portion in the North
west stock matter. In company with Mr. Smith
were Mr. Vanderpoel, one of his counsel, of the
firm of Brown, Ilall A Vanderpoel, and Mr. Joslyn,
of the Arm of Joslyn, Bach A Co., a house in which
loth Gould and Smith are special partners. In re
gard to a very pointed question as to what Mr.
Smith Intended to do in regard to settling his lia
bilities in his transactions iu Northwestern ho and
ids counsel, Mr. Vanderpoel, made statements
which were in substance as follows:?
? TUE INTENTIONS OF HENRY N. SMITH.
Mr. Smith said"On consultation with my coun
sel, Judge rorter, we came to the conclusion that
Northwestern preierred stock was a good legal
tender for Northwestern common, and that a man
who received Northwestern preferred stock for
Northwestern common would receive in addition
all ihe privileges of the preferred stock, for by the
provision under which the stock Is Issued the pre
ierred stock is entitled to seven per ccnt divl
dend, and then, if there be any surplus over
fourteen per cent, the preferred stock is entitled to
, be paid three per cent, just as the preferred stock
is ten while the common Is only seven percent.
After the preferred receive* this ten per cent then
any earnings are divided equally between the pre
ferred and common."
In reply to the question as to how the Hoard
would regard anv attempt to settle his (Mr.
Smith's) liabilities in tins manner, Mr. Vanderpoel
and he replied In one i?r. ath, and glancing at each
other, that the Hoard ol Brokers had nothing to do
with Mr. Smith's individual action. Inasmuch
as Mr. Smith Is not a member or that
Board. "I," said Mr. Smith, "having occasion to
pay to Garland, Martin A Company the firm In
which Gonld and myself are each special partners?
4,000 shares, I tendered them in place of 4,000
shares of common 4,000 shares of preferred stock.
Garland. Martin A Co. were 'Ion#' of stocks lor
Jav Gould. Tliey were his brokers and borrowed
from me upon this stock, giving me the right to
use of It und not obliging me to return 1 ho same
' certiiicstes. When I was called upon tor the stock
I returned to them 4,000 shares of tlio preferred
stock, and they said they were not authorized by
their principals to recolvo it.''
IIOW BAItJ.OW COMES IN.
Mr. Smith explained Mow he happened to be
drawn into the difficulty. It was not through
stockiobblng. (Hi. no! certainly not! .Mr. Barlow
sont for linn about two weeks ago. At.Mr. Har
I low's residence lie, (Henry N. Smith) met Mr. Bar
| low and J. II. Watson, President of the Kri? Kail
road. He (Mr. Smith) was then Informed by Mr.
AVatson that the books of the Erie Hailroad com
pany snowed that there wove some tliteen
millions of dollars which Mr. Gould had mis
appropriated, and that the suspicion was
universal that he (Mr. Smith) had Just as much
to do with the fraud In this affair as Mr. Gould
!m<J. "J," said Mr. Smith, "assured Harlow and
Watson that the firm of Smith, Gould A Martin
were slniplv i>sokers lor the Krlc Itailroad Com
pany; thai'Iliad never secured a dollar of mouoy
belonging to the Krlc Hailroad Company except, in
the legitimate way of business, and that 1 diu not
bea<;ve that Mr. Martlu him."
"142i 401-ij to coutasi tuu iiut\g m the wurtSi"
naid Mr. Smith, "and I'll bet any amount of money
that I win."

predecessor. There was scarcely so much activity
as there was last week, but there was a good deal
of looking around and a promise of a good aggre
gate business (or the week. There was less dis
turbance in the mouey market, but there will
naturally be more or less uneasiness until the
stock market shall have once more returned to
its normal condition, or course, this disturb
ance in tho money market exerts some
iniluence upon commercial matters, but tho mer
chandise markets have not been affected to any
appreciable degree. On 'Change tliero were few
radical changes. The Hour market was exceed
ingly dull, but prices underwent no material
change. Wheal was dull, lower and nominal, ex
cept for very choice, which was held firm. Corn
was dull and lower, closing with still a downward
tendency. Tho pork market remained quiet, but
Arm for lots on the spot, which sold to some ex
tent at full prices. Lard was dull and heavy.
There was a scarcity of freight room, in view of
which rates were decidedly liighor. Cotton was in
i'utr demand at Mcady prices for lots on the spot, but
bettor prices were realized for future deliveries. Gro
ceries continue 1 vory quiet, but there was no essential
changc in prlcos noticeable. Petroleum remained dud,
but nominally unchanged. There was a fair demand
for spirits of turpentine at steady prices, but rosin re
mained neglected. Whiskey sold moderately, but at a
decline of Me. a Ic. per gallon.
Corraic.?The market w?i quiet to-dny for all descrip
tions, but considerable Amine;# was manifested, owing to
favorable advices trom Hio. A sale of 3,300 bags Itio ex
