THE MODNING HoOURS, New Yonw, Sopt, 24—8:10 p. m,~The depression which scitled down on tho city last evening continued this morning at tho opening of businces, It was gon- erally recognized that the deprossion was unwarranted, and that the exciloment consequont on the failuro of 80 promincnt a house 58 that of Heury Olews & Co. Diad caused tho actual disustors to bo e3aggerated and augmonted, and tho panio unnecessarily superficial; and panic-strioken thinkors had gone 5 bed domorale 1zed, whilo wubstantial snd conservative financiers had retired serious and a littlo approhenaive, but still strong n tho bollef that the panic waa practically end- ed,and {hat the banke could sustaln themsolves, Doth parties rose in the ssmo humor, and, with the samo impulse guiding both, thoy crowded into Wall atreot at an early hour this morning,—the first, exclted and nolsy ; the second, serious and dispoaced to be gruft. THE OROWD ON THE sTREET was ot g0 largo as on previous days, but it was moro fmpressive. In front of the Stock Exchange, in Broad street, there was gatharod, carllest of all, a largo group of brokers, who discussed tho probabllities of & re- oponing of the Exchange, _For a time they blockadod tho ntreet, and thefr nolsy discuasion on the advisabil- ity of opening the Excliangeso diaturbed the peace, that tho polico, apprehensivo of o tumult, caused large trucks to bo repoatedly driven through tha trest, in ordor to dimperso the crowd, This plan, how- ever, proved futfle, As soon ns the wagons bad passed, the gaps which they had made in the crowd rapldly closed up, and the nolse, confusion, snd discusslon continued unabated, Finally, whea it was announced that THE BTOCK RXXOMANGE WOULD XOT OPEN during the day, this group of regular brokers gave way to an oqually large gathering of oporators, whoy by thelr loud vaciferation and gesticulations, mnds the atreot moro hideous than their predecessors hd done, On tho sidewalks were thoussnds of men who carod nothing for the Btock Board or for stack speculations, but who were anzious sbout thelr bank balances ond who dreaded fo loam—what thoy expoct: ed overy moment to hear—that thelr private banks had succumbed {o that prossuro which has ruinod only private Lankers or rotten bsnks, The fallowing Ja llst of correapondents of tho susponded firm of TIOWES & MAOY 1n the varions Western Statea Illinojs—Allon & Pinero, Grafton; Dailey Thomas Cawmp Yolnt; Burgesser & Crano, Glayton; Crane, MManson & Co,, leurlyi Ferrls DBrothers, Princeton A.

It started » runon Yermilyo & Oo,, renewod that on George Opdyke & Co,, and thero waa & show of depositors clamorous for their money at tho windows of Dolmont & Co,, but nous of thoso hiousey showed the slighteat indications of weakucss, Howes & Macy's failurs, ff, indeed, it moy be called 80, & mot looked upom as serlous, The clief foar s that tho temporary suspeusion will affect the Company’s corronpondents In other oltles, and 30 help to keep up the exoltement ‘which all aro anxious to allsy, Upon tho heels of this suspension came tho nowa that Olews & Co, had swamped their LONDON HOUSE OF OLEWS, HABIONT & 00, ‘The over-drafts on the Londan houss are sslimated a4 $1,200,000, or about the amount which Clews & Co, ald out provioun to their suspension, Tho {nforme- tion to-dny leads to the aupposition that Clows & Co.'s falluro fa comploto,—cortainly a8 complote as that of Jay Gooke & Co, Howes & Macy may resumo shortly, ‘when malters aro qulsted down, but fow hopo for such good luck for Clows & Co, Bouthern socurities and raflway bonda havo finally boon tholr ruin, Theaetwo ovents are really tho only dissatrous oncs of the day and yot tho actiona by tha BTOOK-DROKENH AND DANK-PRESIDENTS aro misconatrued by the genoral public, and holp to fn- oroaso, for thotime boing, the gencral doprossion, In tho firat place, a numbor of ownera of varioua siocks ‘which could not bo hypothocated wers forced to placo thom in the handa of auctionoora at tho Real Estata Ex- chunge, and thoy wers old {o tho highost bidder, o procodure unknown herotoforo in New York finances, 1t was looked upon ot first sa an indication of tho ‘worthleasness of securitics, But it waa moon found thiat stocka sold at oxeellent prices, and brought thair current valuo on tha streot, It wan also scon that tho Luyers wroro fortunate man, with plonty of groenbacks to inveat, who wero LOADING UP WITII BTOOKS attho presont low rates, with tho design of taking thom out of the market entiroly. As, of course, thoy loft thelr grecnbagks In tho morket, thls unuaual pro- coss of solling stocks was practically o rollef, Yot it sorved to excitaand dopress tho loss obsorving and logical, Bales on tho sireot, which began immedie ately on the announcement that tho BStock-Ex- ciange would not open, wero at fair rates, compared with thoso that rnled at tho closo on Satur- day laat, so that, altogethor, thero 1a reason to be ou- | couraged rathor than deprossed by theso sales, TOE NEXT EVENT to influonce the atreot was the sunouncement that res- olutions had boon passed by the Oloaring-Houss Com- mitteo ropresonting thie various banks, The firat resolu- Hon, {asuing an additional $10,000,000 for loan certifie cates, had beon undisputed, and caused good feclings and was encouraging. Ths propoaition to obtain $10-, 000,000 of Governmont bonds, to be sold. to tho Treas- ury by the banks, wasalso sccepted a8 sn indication that the banks wero laboring wiscly and well; but tho Inst propoeilion, resolving thet banks should not cash heavy checks for currency, but should certify such chocks as good only whon pnesed through the Clearing-House, was at once {rans- Iatod to boa practical susponsion of the banks of the Olearing-Tlouss Assoclation, Thoro was a good deal of fecling on tho snnouncement of tho sdoption of this resolution. But the discussions which followed havo proved that the resclution waa a wiso provision. In the first place, it provents panfo-strickon dopoaitors from drawing out thelr monsy and hoarding it, thus taking greenbacks out of the strect and from business, In the noxt placo # facilitates business by makipg moro -liberal tho cortification of checka through the bsnks, thus bal, sucing accounts without tho employment of much monoy. It ia understood that tho banks will Liverally provida for all legitimato busincss and msnufacturing firms who need money to pay emplosos snd to con- tinue thoir oxports and {mports, The action is now looked upon as {dentical with and os bonoficial as the suspenslon of business on the Stock Exchango, as it helpa to allay excitoment everywhero in the city, THE BAVINGS BAWRS have been perfectly quist, In fact thers has been no time during the panfo when tho officors of these fnstie tutlons were doubtful of thelr ability to mect all de- mands made upon them, and the confidence of de- positors has been most remarksbly displayed. The cntire PAYMENTE FOR DONDS for the day are nearly $3,000,000. Tho total purchascs amount to very nearly $12,000,000. Loan cortificates dlnposed of, thus fur, foot up a total of $19,500,000. Gen, Hillhouss, Bub-Troasurer, on finding that the purchaso of bonds had aggrogated $11,800,000, refused to make a further purchass of $200,000, stating that he was authorized to purchase only $13,000,000, TIE DEY GOODS TRADE. The ponia has not apparently meriously affected mercantile houses ond the principal trades. The principal dry goods men report no lack of confi- denco among buyers, no marked declino in prices, and little excessivo appiélienston for the future, Ship- ments havo follen off a little, and purchasers are can- tious about making large {nvestments, but this, dealers look on, as & °good fault, Claflin & Co, calculate tho curtailment in purchases of dry goods at about 20 per cent of what they had dono befora tho panc began, Peske, Opdyko & Qo, say tho heavy Western buyers of dry goods have como and gone, Trade fs still active for tho time of year. Country buyers look on tho panic o8 o Wall street flurry, ‘Trade is in o healthy condition, a8 merchants taok warning o year ago and have put business on a sounder basls aud kopt collac- tions close, THE NIOWES 4 MAOY FAILURE, TMowes & Macy attribute their suspension to the tightuess of the money market, which mado such a step advisable, They add: “Wa have uulimited securities, but cannot turn them fnto cash at present, Our suspension s only temporary, As soon 8 mat- teraon the street take their courso, wo shall resumo business, Yo can pay dollar for doliar, and more, if nocessary, None of our dopositors will lose a cent, Infact, we havo been compellod to do thia to socure thelr interoata," Falss reports of (he firmvs fallure, cir- culated on the streot on Tuesday afternoon, had pro- cipitated tho run upon thom this morning, for which they weve not prepared. This run was the im- ‘medinto cause of tho suspension.
