A new system of differential equations which is at the same time gradient and locally Hamiltonian is obtained by just replacing the factor \(i\) by \(i^2=-1\) in the equations of interaction for \(N\) point vortices and it is interpreted as an interaction of \(N\) point sources. Because of the local Hamiltonian structure and the symmetries it obeys, it does possess some of the first integrals that appear in the \(N\) vortex problem.
