collected as ever, wandered around the crowd
looking over men’s shoulders, sayiDg nothing
to any one, and hastening back to their in
struments to resume the ticking which
seems never to cease in the room. A short,
thin man, with a large blue neck tie, gnashed
his teeth and seemed ready to pounce upon
the tall, dark-complexioned man. They ad
vanced toward each other, shaking their fists
and shouting ot the top of their voices. The
bystanders drew near, and all shouted and
raised their hands. They rubbed up against

Fiono the New York Sun. Sept. 18.
Yesterday was one of the most exciting [
days of the season in Wall street. Stocks
fell off suddenly from five to ten per cent.,
and the Stock Exchange was wild with ex
citement.
The fall in stocks was owing not only to the
general feeling of insecurity due to the knowl
edge of the suspension of Jay Cooke k Co.,
in New York, Philadelphia, and Washington,
and later in the day of Robinson, Suydam
k Co., Richard Schell, the First National
Bank of Washington, and E. W. Clarke k Co.
of Philadelphia, but also to the manipula
tions of certain prominent operators. It is
said that several weeks ago JayGoold, Daniel
Drew, and John F. Tracy entered into a com
bination to bear the stock market, Jay
Gould cared for Northwestern, Daniel Drew
looked after Wabash, while Tracy did his
duty by Rock Island. In all of this they
were aided by the suspensions which have
occurred, commencing with that of the New
York Warehouse and Security Companj% fol
lowed by that of Kenyon Cox & Co., and the
Eclectic Insurance Company, all of which
were owing to causes outside of the manipu
lations of the stock gamblers. In fact most,
if not all. of these failures were in conse
quence of an attempt by a single house to
carry through a large railroad operation re
quiring an immense capital.
A GREAT RAILROAD ENDANGERED.
The suspension of Jay Cooke & Co., al
though said to be but temporary, is especially
lamentable from the fact that the failure of no
other American house could have done so
much to lower American credit abroad, or to
depreciate American securities. Jay Cooke
<jfc Co., and more particularly the First Nation
al Bank of Washington, of which Henry
D. Cooke is President, and which occupies
the same building with Jay Cooke & Co.’s
Washington branch, are especially identified
with the Syndicate which has had the placing
of our national bonds and securities. Through
their foreign branch. Jay Cooke, McCulloch
k Co. of London, most of our bonds which
have been sold abroad have been disposed of. [
How much the London house will be affected
by this suspension can only be conjectured.
Jay Cooke's individual interest in the foreign
firm would of course be liable, but beyond
that the firm would not be liable, unless it is
interested more than it pretends in the bonds
of the Northern Pacific Railroad, for it pro
fesses to be simply an agent for their nego
tiation abroad.
An enterprise like that of the Northern Pa
cific Railroad requires an unlimited parse.
While in the end it may and onght to be suc
cessful, for there is a vast country to be devel
oped, yet in its inception the outlays moat be
vastly in excess of the receipts. Perhaps Jay
Cooke’s success in placing the national bonds
and in other large enterprises may have led
him to be over-sanguine in this, but whether
he eventually succeeds or not the Northern
Pacific has certainly received a bad back-set
from his untimely suspension.
HOW ABOUT THE PRESIDENT’S SALARY?
The First National Bank of Washington,
with which Jay Cooke was closely identified,
was the very head of the Syndicate. Through
it Comptroller of the Currency Knox and
Treasurer Spinner conducted all their trans
action! with the public. More than that, it
was the agent through whom the President of
the United States drew his increased salary
amounting to $30,000 per annum. They
were his attorneys, in fact, and as such drew
his stipend, and he checked against it as a
bank account He has, however, probably
THEBE WERE NO KNOCK-DOWNS,
only jottings in the memorandum books.
Young men stood on the railings and behind
it, and shouted until they were hoarse the
name of some one wanted. Uniformed boys
with small pieces of white paper in their
hands strode around with a military air call
ing one whom some one else on the other cir
cle wished to see. Some laughed and others
seemed ready to shed tears as they grasped
each other. There were hurried whispers and
a passing of memoranda, and then a return to
the terrific shouting. “ Yea-hoo” resounded
through the room, followed by a succession of
almost unintelligible words and the babel of
voices; the scrambling about, and the wild
looking countenances, made up a scene that a
stranger never conld forget
The presiding officer sat calmly in his
chair, occasionally scanning the excited
crowd and then pleasantly chatting with seve
ral gentlemen on the rostrum. When the
noise was greatest he seemed most happy,
and when he arose about twelve minutes past
twelve, holding a small piece of white paper
and with a goodly-sized gavel commanded
order, his eyes fairly twinkled. The shouting
ceased for a moment, and the brokers, like a
flock of Bheep, drew near. They were nerv
ous and scarcely able to stand still, but they
were quiet long enough to hear that the great
banking honse of
JAY COOK A CO. HAD SUSPENDED.
Then they turned their backs on the presiding
officer. Some yelled louder than ever, a few
cheered as though they were really glad to
hear it, while many sorrowfully shook their
Deads. A score of brokers went from the
room scarcely believing it possible that Jay
Cooke & Co. had been so unfortunate, and
hastened to the banking Louse of that firm.
The bootblacks and newsboys were there be
fore them and stood leaning over the iron
railing on the sidewalk peering into the win
dows and saying, “She’s busted.”
All kinds of rumors were set afloat in the
Room, nearly every bank and R. R.Company
was said to have gone under. Henry Clews
k Co., George Opdyke, Drexel, Morgan & Co.,
the Pennsylvania Company and others were
mentioned among the rest. The Vanderbilt
party were doing their utmost to keep their
heads above water, but their foes were deter
mined that they should sink, and the fight
became hotter. The cry was, “Who will go
next?” The small fry wandered about ex
claiming that they had chartered a balloon;
that the Street had been knocked out of
shape, and that there was no room for them.
They predicted that every well known firm in
Broad and Wall streets would make a graud
ascension. “This thing will stop to-day,”
said one broker to another confidentially.
“Don’t you believe it,” replied the one ad
dressed; “that is but the beginning. Wait
until to-morrow.”
tense. The rocm was completely filled, and
the uproar was deafening. The number of
spectatois in the gallery was unprecedentedly
large, and the feverish energy with which the
bnsiness was carried on below was watched
with ever increasing interest. In the earlier
part of the forenoon gold was quoted at 11$,
and business was unusually dull. Shortly af
ter half-past 11 o’clock the suspension of Jay
Cooke k Co. was announced. The shock was
electric. Men who a moment before
bad been trying to dispose, in a lazily
indifferent way, of their superabundant
gold, now suddenly became most en
ergetic to secure as much specie as
possible. The price ran up with extra
ordinary rapidity to 12|, and within au
hour of the intimation that the great bank
had failed the qnotation was 12;. But while
the bulls were actively at work the bears were
not idle, and beyond the figure last quoted no
advance could be made; large purchases were
made, and as no further failures were reported,
a quieter feeling began to prevail, and the price
gradually fell off, until shortly before 3 o’clock
it stood 111. Then came the announcement of
the inability of Richard Schell to meet his en
gagements. Instantly the excitement was re
newed, and the scene following the intima
tion of the suspension of Jay Cooke & Co. was
repeated. Men looked anxiously at the
clock, and as it became apparent that but a
few minutes more remained before the clos
ing of the room, the frenzied efforts of those
desirous of buying resembled insanity. As if
by magic the price ran up to 122; b u *
bears were not daunted, and sellers were still
to be found. No advance was made on 12;], I
and the price was steadily declining when the ;
vigorous rap of the President’s mallet warned
the operators that the hour of closing was at ;
hand. A moment afterwards

and even after the noise had ceased men
gathered in groups throughout the room and
endeavored to do still more business before
leaving. It required all the weight of the
President’s influence to clear the room at last.
The price quoted at closing was 12], having '
fluctuated spasmodically throughout the day 1

For one moment only the feverish excite
ment which prevailed during the afternoon
*as allayed, and a hearty laugh ran through
the room. It was caused by the discovery
made by one of the operators that a specta
tor in the gallery, in defiance of the uproar
beneath him, had quietly drawn his hat over
his eyes and suck into a placid slumber. One
brief moment’s badinage and a few jocular in
terchanges of opinion as to whether he was a
bull or a bear, and the tide of speculation
swept on as impetuously as ever.
SCENES IN THE STREETS.
Tho suspension of Jay Cooke k Co., com
ing on the heels of a temporary rally of de
clining stocks created an excitement in Broad
and Wall streets yesterday that has few pre
cedents in the history of the money centre.
All had been going well apparently up to 11
o’clock. In an incredibly short time the Rpread
of the news brought hundreds ot curiosity
seekers in front of the Exchange. The
tumble in stocks attracted all who dab
ble in share uncertainties. For a little
while the messengers and telegraph
boys could scarcely thread their way through
the multitude. All were eagerly asking in-

among which were many elegantly dressed i formation about the failure, or striving to
ladies, manifested profound interest, and
when some enthusiastic broker on the floor
threw up his hat and cheered they could not
control themselves and joined in the shont.
At 1 o’clock Pacific Mail was down to 37;
Lake Shore, 87J; Northwestern, 49J; Rock
Island, 93; Western Union, 781 (ten per cent,
decline since the opening); Central, 97J; St.
Paul, 41; Union Pacific, 21; C., C. and I. G.,
241; Ohio, 34; Wabash, 531. One of the
oldest brokers in the street said there had
been no such panic since 1857, and that it
might be attributed to the bnilding of rail
roads in advance of the sale of bonds, thns
increasing oar liabilities and piling np our
indebtedness.
At about half past two Vice President
Wheelock, who had but a short time before
taken his seat, atthed in his usual faultless
style, arranged his white neck tie, adjusted
his eyeglasses, and arose. He had a small
piece of paper in his left hand. He raised
the gavel and smiled. Then he beat on the
desk for order. The brokers reluctantly
checked their screaming and looked at him.
There was a shuffling of feet, and the Vice
President’s deep bass voice could scarcely be
heard. He regretted to inform the Board
that the firm of Robinson k Suydam, 13
Broad street, bad suspended. Then he sat
down smiling, and the screams of the brokers
again filled the air. They huddled together,
and in a moment forgot that there was one
firm less in the street, so intent were they

forecaste the future of the day’s transactions.
Capt Van Deusen, of the New street police,
put an extra platoon on duty on the principal
corners, in order to keep the sidewalks clear.
Then the crowds of curiosity seekers betook
themselves to the old telegraph building op
posite Jay Cooke k Co.’s offices. They had
no direct interest in thejsaspension, but suck
lings of finance occasionally furnished them
a text for wonder by giving them news of
some other great failure.
As the shares tumbled the excitement grew
wilder, and the streets were filled with bank
clerks hurrying between offices and the Ex
change. As the members rushed out of the
Exchange they were stopped by clients and
acquaintances and made to disgorge whatever
they knew. Although no other facts than the
simple one of their failuro were known, the
whole financial course of Jay Cooke k Co. for
the last ten years was criticised with gravity,
if not wisdom, by the gossippers. In one re
spect all agreed, namely, that the house had
overloaded itself with Northern Pacific Rail
way securities.
BELIEVED TO HAVE BAKEL^THE 8TBEET.
Jay Gould was generally credited with hav
ing reaped a harvest out of the general disas
ter. In the estimation of many he has raked
the street agaia.
The news of the first great disaster had
hardly grown stAle, before a broker with long
legs and streaming hair rushed out of the Ex
change with the intelligence that Robinson
& Suydam had suspended. Although they
were classed as one of the light houses, the
news created a decided sensation, aoy many
persons rushed toward their offices to obtain
confirmation of the report.

THE SPECTACLE IN THE STOCK EXCHANGE.
When the Bolls and Bears reached the
Stock Exchange yesterday morning, they
wore a troubled look and seemed puzzled.
They quietly floated around the great room
for awhile, and awaited the first call. The
opening prices were : Erie 55}, Pacific Mail
Hi, Lake Shore 90}, Northwestern 52}, Rock
Island 1021, Western Union 88}, Central 99}

ipulators of’tbe market stared at each other,
and soon there was a buzzing which denoted
that a storm was coming. Some talked of the
great frauds which have lately been unearthed,
and of the insecurity of investing in all kinds
of stocks. Everyone seemed to mistrust his
neighbor, and stood back waiting for a move.
About 11 o'clock they began to strike out
from the shoulder, and a panic ensued. Tre
mendous excitement prevailed, and sales were
made rapidly.
Brokers rnsbftd to and fro telling each oth-
or that everything was going to smash, and
the floor of the Stock Exchange seemed a
pandemonium. To a stranger it would have

and just about the time an oat-

One broker, s tall, dark-complexioned man,
wearing a white bat, dashed in and, waving
hie memorandum book about as though defy

aqeaking voioe, which sounded far above the
din around trim, to call near him some of the

“We’re all busted,” 3aid a young man, who
ran into the room in such haste that he al

all up I” He was soon in the thickest of the
crowd, pushing and shoving, and helping to
increase the din. A mild mannered man,
with his hands in his pockets, paced np and

some seemingly half-crazed individual, with ]
pencil and memorandum book, placed him- “ *
self in his path and yelled until any one
would have been ready to bet his last cent
that a blood vessel would burst.
At twenty minutes of nine a heavy set man
in gray clothing approached Vice-President
Wheelock, who had been leisurely reading
some letters which he took from his pocket,
aud handed him a piece of paper about four
inches square. The Vice-President smiled
and gracefully bowed. Then ho read the pa
per and opened his mouth. The brokers on
the floor did not notice him, but the persons
in the gallery did, and said,
“hem's anotheb.”
The Vice-President stood up and with un
usual vigor beat on the desk with his gavel.
He held the piece of paper above his head
and beckoned the brokers to come near him.
Then when it was almost still he read with
much hesitation that Richard Schell was una
ble to fulfil his engagements. When ho con
cluded the reading of the note with “Yours
truly, Richard Schell,” there was a scene of
indescribable confusion. It was a tremen
dous blow to the Vanderbilt party, with which
Mr. Schell waa largely interested. At first
there was a stillness which was almost un
bearable in a place where it is nanalto bear
so much noise, and then the fearful shout
ing and screaming almost shook the bnilding.

leave the room, while another line hurriedly
entered. With bated breath they met each

My God, this is rough,” said one, and then
adding in a faint voioe, “Any more gona un

cause ot the failures, but all asked, “Who’s
the next ?” Vice President Whelock did not
cease smiling, and when the gong sounded
for closing, he motioned to the Brokers to de*
C rt The gong sounded again, and, arising,
rapped with his gavel and, bowing to the
brokers, took bis white bat and his delicate
cane and stepped down from the rostrum.
One more sound of the gong cleared the room
of all save a few, whom none but a squad of
police conld have persuaded to go, and penic-
fftrioken brokers hurried to their offices to
ponder over the day’s excitement and wonder
what wonld be done to-day.

THE STBEET AFTER DARK.
A stroll through Wall and Broad streets as
late as 9 o’clock last night revealed a very un
usual state of affairs. The brokers’ and bank
ers’ offices, instead of wearing the usual de
serted appearance, were lighted np, and had
all the appearance of brisk business going on
within. Each desk had a clerk in front of it,
who seemed busy with long rows of figures.
The writer stopped at one of the offices, occu
pied by a firm high in popular estimation.
The janitor stopped him at the door with the
information that there was no admission there
to-night “The firm are all there,” he said,
“and not a few customers. They are mighty
closely engaged, too.”
That explained the nnasnal occurrence.
Accounts were being balanced and assets as
certained, preparing for calls for more mar
gin, and counting the resources for another
day ot doubt.

The Atlanta Herald has very sensibly dis
continued its special train, giving as its rea
son that it supposed when it made the move
it wouldflast only a month, as it was thought
that the mail trains on the Macon A Western
Railroad would change in that time. The
Hxaai.n has more enterprise than any paper
in the Sontb, and if it had the means would
make one of the bost papers on the conti
nent. Its enterprise deserves success, but
dependent npon public patrenage, it esnnot
afford sneh a step. We know nothing of the
Houth Georgia mails, bat wo do know that so
far as this road is concerned, the regular mails
bring the papers early enough.
Corporations are soulless, and they will do
nothing where they can see no dollars and
cents in it for themselves Let the Hebald
■pend its money in adding new featnres to its
already live columns, and it will command
snpport and be a success -Griffin Arts*.
