Ke York, September 13,1873. Members of the firm of Kenyon A Co. decline to make any farther explanation than that they are pay ing all their amall bills. The statement that Dan Drew la in Europe is incorrect, he being at present in hia residence in this city, where he is confined by a alight illness. Specie shipment to Europe for the week $510,000. New York, September 13, 1873* Only thirty-aix hundred shares were sold out under the rule to-day for tka aecountfof Kenyscn, Cox k Co. Tne cause of their fsilore has been large advances to Canada Southern Railroad, some of which is now be ginning to fall due. Xenyson, Cox, Daniel Drew and others, bave loaned their paper to assist in completing the road, trusting to further the negotiation of bonds in London. Last Mondsy advices were received from London stating that it was impossible at present to negotiate bonds, and at a consultation held of parties in the interest of the Canada Southern, some were willing to contribute tbeir quota, others wtra absent from the city ; consequently, no unity of action could be had, and Kenyon, Cox k Co finally resolved to suspend. The parties connected with the Canada Southern R R are among some of the richest and moa 1 influential railroad men of the country, including Jno F Tracey. Milton Cartwright, Sidney Dillon, Wm L Scott and others. These names are a guarantee against permanent embarrassment. The general im pression is that this affair can only be temporary. In regard to the immediate effect in Wall street, many supposed the suspension of the firm would cause Urge amounts of stock to be precipitated on tho mar ket. and acting on this theory, there was a rnah to sell. There were 578 deaths the past week—a decrease of G7 from the previous week. Counterfeits of last issue of 50 cent stamps are said to be in circulation. The counterfeits are said to be •o skilfully executed as to almost defy detection by experts. John A Parker, ex-Preaident of the Great Western Insurance Company, saya Kenyon Cox said this after noon that the Canada Southern Railway owes $2,250,000 and haa $3,250,000, of first mortgage bonds of its own, and connecting roads as late as Monday favorable advices were re ceived by cable in regard to placing bonds abroad. The difficulty had occurred very suddenly and occa sioned as much surprise to Drew as to any one. Cox denied the rumor that Drew permitted the suspension of the firm for some ulterior object. He said that Drew had thus far acted honorably, and would, could he have foreseen the complications three weeks ago,have prevented the sus pension by converting some of his assets into cash Cox said that notec of the Canada Southern Railroad to the amount of one million five hundred thousand do), lars, l>earing the indorsement of himself and Drew.wi 1 mature within thirty days, beginnlrg to-day. Although these could not be met immediately, he bel eved that every creditor would obtain one hundred cents on the dollar. The project would eventually be successful, and holders of bonds should not sacrifice them. The Evening Post says there is no doubt of Drew’s ability to pay in full every dollar he owes and still have a fortune left. At the session of the Senate Committee on Transpor tation to-day, Mr. Haya, General Manager of the Bine Line Freight Company, made a supplementary state ment. explaining the difference between the line cars and the local cars, and the general system ci manage- ment of the Blue Line ears, mod the reason why ele vator* are built out west instead of New fork. Mr Worceeter. of the New York Central Railroad, spoke on the same subject. It is supposed that the commit tee will conclude this evening.
