George J. Gould spoke on leaving for Europe aboard the steamer Krow Printest on Tuesday. He said he was moderately optimistic about business, cited Western Union Telegraph as a key indicator, noted fewer declines than last year, and discussed railroad agitation in the southwest affecting Missouri Pacific earnings by 4 to 5 million dollars. He attributed Wheeling and Lake Erie receivership to the Wabash Pittsburgh Terminal, called the terminal overcapitalized, and doubted further involvement. He asserted the Wabash is capable of handling its affairs and will not be embarrassed by $6 million notes due in August.
