WALL STREET WORRIES, RUMORS AFFECTING GOULD, New Yok, May 10.--Inquiries were directed from Chicago to this city to-day in regard to tho financial condition of Jay Gould. As nothing had been heard in New York to excite much inquiries, Gould wrs sought, and an_explanation requested. Gonld said: *‘This question is not tie onlyono of the kind asked here to-day. A Wall street news agency yes. torday set afloat an_entirely unfouned statement that the Union Pacific would pass the July dividend. This was done for the purpose of influencing Union Pa- cific stock. There was not even a moet- ing of Union Pacific directors. This morning it was openly announced on thé street that there would be an attack on ‘Western Union and Missouri Pacific. In pursuanc of this laudable purpose, tho information on which your inquiry was based was telegraphed broadcast over the country, 1 have received pumercus dis- patches inquiring into the truth of the statement that [ wasin financial difliculty. It is needless to say that there is NOT A WORD OF TRUTH in it. 'I'ne whole purpose of the rumor was to create a demoralization in the market so purchases could be made by heavy buyers at reduced fignres. I am iuclined to think,” said Mr. Gould, with a twinkle of the eye, and glancing toward the indicator, “‘that they weredisappoint- ed. Bovh stocks aimed at are firm, and my information is that the buyers are strong men.” An intimate friend of Gould intormed a reporter that he (Gould) had recently given substantial aid to many who where crippled by the last troubles in Wall street, and he has been a large buyer to-day. He pro- nouncsd the story of his financial diffi- culty a ridiculous invention. GRANT AND WARD. There was a slight renewal of excite- ment about the Grant & Ward failure this morning. The feeling against Ward has not lessened Up to noon no new facts have transpired. The examiner will probably finish examination of the Marine bank to-day. Itis reported that Jay Gould and others have started a relief movement for Grant. C.nkling was in consultation with Grant to-day. Examiner Scriba was at work all day in the Marine bank. In the forenoon he send for Ferdinand Ward. Ward walked down Wall street followed by two men, said to be detectives, and he had three- quarters of an hour interview with Scriba, after which he returned to his office. Scriba said his report would not be ready until Monday, and that he sent it to tht comptroller of currercy at Wash- ington, At Grant & Ward's office it is said no report or statement of the condition of the fizm will be given before Tuesday or Wednesday. The receiver of the firm of Grant & Ward has been given permission by the supreme court to surrender to claimants such securities as are in his possession and which, without dispute, are shown to hava been pledged with the fiem as security for loans, upon his receiv- ing the money loaned, A MINNESOTA FATLURE, Sz, Pavt, May 10.—The Northwest- ern Manufacturing and Car Company, of Stillwater, Minn,, of which Senator D M.

It is understood that A. H. Brown, of Her zog, Bean & Brown, Stillwater, has been selected receiver of the Northwestern Car company. ‘The company had a great backset in the Stillwater penitentiary fire last winter.

Dunuque, May 111t is estimated that ten per cent.less wheat land has been sown in Towa this year than usual, The early sown wheat is looking healthy. the rains in the later part of April bring ingit on rapidly. Later sown is more uneven, but has plenty of time to come on. Taken altogether the presont out- look for the wheat crop is good. Most of the fields were sown early. There has been a fair increase in the acreage of oatsall along the line, amounting prob- ably to ten per cent. The.ncrease is about m_proportion to the increase of land under cultivation. Oats put in early are in excellont shape, and promise an abundant harvesé. Those put in later are coming along fairly, thouch thin on the gronnd, and corn seeding in this sec- tion is well along. The last estimates show the acreage to be considerable larger than last year. ——— The Inter-State Drill.

PRESIDENT ARTHUR, 1S CONFIDENC ngton 8 pecial to the agn Tribune, Wasnisaron, D, C, M ). Frienda of President Avthur say that from this timo ho may boe expocted to devote him- solf carnestly to securing delogates among the unpledged, and that he has already a partial organization and will soon perfect it so as to reach all the dele- wates in all the states who are committed against him. His visit to New York has for its chiof purpose this end, Ho is now in frequent communication with his friends in all parts of the country, and he is confident that his efforts will be successful, One part of his policy will be to solidify the South so that it cannot be stampeded or taken from him in any way. ‘“The President,” said a goentlo- man who is in frequent consultation with him, “‘is mere confident that he will be nominated than he ever has been. He feels now that the delegations of every state havo adopted resolutions commend- ing his Administration, that he is endor- sed by the party, and that ho is entitled to cordial support. Mo is not going to hunt ducks with a brass band, but he knows something of politics and he will put his knowledge to the best possible use.” One of Arthur's strongost suppor- ters in the South, and one of the shrewd- et politicians among the delegates to Chicago, says: “The theory that the Ar- thue steength in the South is to be atampuded from Lim ina great mistake, The southsrn delegates are more disposed to deliberation this year thanever betore, and they are not to be easily driven from their purpose.” THE PRESIDENOCY.

They claim to believe that if onco Ko is in nomination he will get the sup- port of those republicans who most stronuously oppose his nomination, They wholly misapprehend the spirit and char- acter of the opposition to him. Independ- ont voters and conservative republicans are opposed to Blaine for reasons which attach to his character as a public man. They do not believe he would bo in any senso a WISE OR SAFE PRESIDENT, It is utterly senseloss to talk about his carrying the state of New York, under any. circumstances whatever, and it is wild desperation to_claim that he could bo elected without the vote of this state, If the republican party wero to ehooso puch & candidato it would only prove that the gods had do wded to destroy it, A PYRAMIDAL TOF, Spocial dispatch to Tue B, Wasmizaroy, May 11.—Arrangments aro boing wado for the task of construct- ing » pyramidal top to Washington's monumont, The construction of this pyramid will bo a far from easy task at this giddy height, and one of the groatest of engindering fonts, GENERAL SWAD, court of inquiry to-day, Mr.Chandler an- nounced that, with the exception of ono he was ready to rest Bateman The testimony of this witness witness the case, wa such that he might argue upon tho facts without calling the waster Caroy was called by the judgo advocate.
