NEW YOUK , Alay 10. Inquiries were
directed from Chicago to this eity to-day
in regard to the financial condition of Jay
Gould. As nothing had boon hoard in
Now York to excite much inquiries ,
Gould wr.s sought , and an explanation
requested. Gould said : "This question
is not tlio only ono of the kind asked hero
to-day. A Wall street nowa agency yes
terday aet afloat an entirely unfounded
statement that the Union Pacific would
pass the July dividend. Thia was done
for the purpose of influencing Union Pa
cific stock. There was not oven a moot
ing of Union Pacific directors. This
morning it was openly announced on the
street that there would bo an attack on
Western Union and Missouri Pacific. In
pursuance of thia laudable purpose , the
information on which your inquiry was
based was telegraphed broadcast over the
country , I have received numerous dis
patches inquiring into the truth of the
statement that I was in financial difficulty.
It is needless to say that there is
NOT \V01U ) OF TUUT1I
in it. Tno whole purpose of the rumor
was to create a demoralization in the
market so purchases could bo made by
heavy buyers at reduced fignrea. "I am
iiiolined to think , " said Mr. Gould , with
a twinkle of tho'oyo , and glancing toward
the indicator , "that they were disappoint
ed. Boih stocks aimed at are firm , and
my information is that the buyers are
strong men. " An intimate friend of
Gould intormod a reporter that ho
( Gould ) had recently given substantial
aid to many who where crippled by the
last troubles in Wall atroot , and ho has
been a large buyer to-day. Ho pro-
nouncsd the atory of his financial diffi
culty a ridiculous invention.
GRANT AND WAIII ) .
There was a slight renewal of excitement -
mont about the Grant & Ward failure
this morning. The feeling agAinst Ward
has not lessened Up to unon no now
facts have transpired. The examiner
will probably finish examination of the
Marino bank to-day.
It h reported that Jay Gould and
others have started a relief : movement for
Grant. C < .nkling waa in consultation
with Grant to-day.
Examiner Scriba waa at work all day
in the Marine bank. In the forenoon ho
send for Ferdinand Ward. Ward walked
down Wall street followed by two mon ,
said to bo detectives , and ho had three-
quarters of an hour interview with
.Scriba , after which ho returned to hia
oflieo. Scriba said his report would not
be ready until Monday , and that ho sent
it to tht comptroller of currency at Wash
ington ,
At Grant & Ward's oflieo it is said no
report or statement of the condition of
the firm will bo 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 a < are in his
possession and which , without dispute ,
are shown to havfi been pledged with the
firm as security for loans , upon his receiv
ing the inonoy loaned.

orn Manufacturing and Car Company , of
Stillwater , Minn. , of which Senator D
M. Sabin ia president , C D. Gillillian
vice-president , ] [ and C. B. Stiucnuu second

Director Seymour , Iho former head of
Seymour , Sabin &Co.which\roH merged
into the Northwestern Cur Company ,
stated to-night that the liabilities of the
company wcro $1,000,000 and the assets
§ 4,500.00 ; that the company was baing
pressed by a number of creditors on obli
gations which they had expected to moot
on money secured from the east ; that the
suspension of the Marino bank and the
failure of Grant & Ward had BO shaken
confidcncs in credits that they had found
it impossible to secure the expected ad-
vanca. To prevent attachments and the
tying up of their property the company
had resolved to have
A I1ECEIVKU Al'l'OINTKI ) ,
expecting to discharge all their obliga
tions , and after temporary ombraMss-
ment reaiimo business as a corporation. II
ia understood that A. II , Brown , of Her
zog , Bean & Brown , Stillwutor , has beer
selected receiver of the North western Cai
company. The company litid a greai
backset in the Stillwater penitentiary fire
last winter. For some time past tht
atock has boon offered freely in large
quantities.
Late reports confirm the appointment
of Brown aa receiver of the Northweatort
Car company. Commodore N. W , Kit
son , also a director , when seen to-nighf
said the company's affairs have been wol
managed. The assets , ho thought , wouli
moro than three times pay the liabilities
that the paid-up capital wa $3,000,000
S'f. PAUL , May 11. E. S. Brown wil
to morrow take charge of the Northwest
ern Car Company aa receiver and tin
