TIGHT MONEY
CAUSES SEVERAL BUSINESS DISATEBS TUES¬
DAY AND WEDNESDAY.
A New York dispatch of Wednesday
says: William Nelson Cromwell, assignee
of Decker, Howell & Co., who went to
the wall Tuesday, makes the following
statement: “Liabilities ai-e between $10,
000,009 and $15,000,000, most of which
is due to banks and bankers on loans.
Assets arc largely in excess of the liabili¬
ties, and nearly every loan is well secured
by collaterals. The failure was due to
the extreme money stringency which pre¬
vented it from completing its daily
amount of borrowing.
The North River bank, at the corner
of Dev and Greenwich streets, closed its
doors Wednesday afternoon, the state
bank examiner taking charge of its af¬
fairs. The bank is a member of the

River bank as having a capital of $240,
000, surplus of $11.8,500, loans, $2,0(10,
018; deposits, $1,975,000, cash ou hand,
aud $270,000. It loaned too much
money, according to the statement of the
cashier, and the cause of the present
difficulties is simply Whitney, tight money. M. Larchav
Charles M. Frank
and Edwin L. Larchar, three members of
tbe brokerage firm of C, M. Whitney &
Co., at 90 Broadway, which assigned
Tuesday, filed separate assignments
Wednesday forenoon to George H.

at the behavior sullenness of the In¬
dians, who arc coming north well armed

During the day a number of Indians,
armed with two guns each and plenty of
ammunition, passed through
this town, presumably en route
to stir up the Indians on
reservations north. People are coming
in from the south and begging the citi¬
zens to stir up the authorities at Wash¬
ington to action. Enough Indians are
now traveling about tbe section to ruu off
all the cattle and kill half the settlers in
the country. A frijndly Sioux Indian brings a
warning from the reservation. He
says there is the greatest dinger
here, and that the Indians propose to
attack Fort Abraham Lincoln, knowing
that there are but fifty soldiers there.

and massacre the citizens and burn the
town. The greatest alarm prevails among
the people.

TRACS 1 REVIEW.
REPORT OF THE CONDITION OF TRADE FOB
LAST WEEK.
R. G. Dtiu & Co.’s irade review says:
Those who have long expected a severe
reaction in the stock market have now
se> ii the average of prices thrown hack to
a lower point than has been touched at
any other time for more than four years.
The check now sustained may not im¬
probably produce and diminution some shrinkage iu
transactions a of profits,
but industrial and commercial conditions
have been so favorable that speculative
disturbances are less likely to affect the
general business seriously. Reports from
other cities i-how that at most points
events in Wall street have had lit¬
tle or no effect as yet. At Philadel
■phia money is tight, and little com¬
mercial paper offered or selling.
"Wool manufacturers are buying more
liberally, with a slight advance in some
guides. Leather is strong and the shoe
trade larger than last year, though less
bri-k than of late. Building is larger
than in any previous year and operators
in real estate are sanguine, New Or.cans
finds money active, cotton and receipts liberal, be¬
low last year’s, but sugar rice
witli a good demand for all. Atlanta
reports easy money and a good trade,anil
Savannah reports money tight, but trade
active. At Jacksonville, earlier northern
travel than usual causes activity. encouraging These
accounts show r. remarkably
condition of business, but a move than
usual scarcity of money in spite of good
collections.
