Jay Gould is a Retired Man.

New York Letter. Jay Gould, it is understood, will start to-morrow or next day for a trip through the Southwest. In a talk to-day Mr. Gould said. “I know very little of the markets now. lam a retired man.” Asked about crop reports from the West, he said: “My advices show the wheat crop in Missouri and Kansas to be very promising. The wheat section of the United States is moving Westward. Illinois and other Eastern States are becoming played out w»~wheat-pro-ducing centers. The wheat crops that have been raised there have used up a a certain ingredient of the toil that must be replaced before the land will be fertile. I well remember how the Genesee vsiley used to-be the great wheatproducing section; now it is not heard

of in thia connection.” Mr. George Gould has leased a cottage fcr the sommer at Mamaroneck, where he can step almost from his own door to the deck of his yacht, Hildegard. Mr. Jay Gould’s family will summer at Irvington. A tree is like the man in a hurry. When he leaves he makes good use of his limbs.
