George Gould Says Conditions
are Better Than Ever Before.
Pittsburg, Jan. 3.—George J. Gould, who is here on a tour of
inspection of his railroad properties, said of a recent statement
by Stuyvesant Fish, regarding the gloomy outlook for the
finances of the country. “The fact that the statement was made
by Mr. Fish that New York Stock Exchange is no longer a free
market, but a play thing of cliques and pools and that Europe
distusts our financial methods is given little thought by the
railroad magnates.”
He refused to discuss the story at length, but he said that
the financial institutions and industrial conditions are in better
shape than at any previous period in American history.
