New Yonx, Oct. 16.—The financial outlook is far bottor to-day than on either Mondsy or Tues- day, slthough carly in the dny thero was a heavy fall in values coused by more failures, during which prices fell from 1 to 8 por cont under a pressuroe of socks for cash to realizo money. Thoro was subsequentlya sudden chango for tho botter, prices advancing from 1 to 93¢ per cont. This was, in & largo moasuro, sttributable to manipulation by some of the *bears,” who cov- orod their short contracts on yesterday ab tho low pricos,'snd went long for a time. The prompt paymont of the New York Central divi- dond was aleo & causo of this riso in values, WALL STHEET COMPOSED AND COMFLAGENT. Binco this relapso, Wall streot has not presented an unusual appearanco ontwardly, Tloso denso throngs of excited and disheartened brokors and oporatora that made Wall and Broad streots and other highways in the viciuity of the Btock Exchango almost impassablo during panio weok, have not boon seen. To all extorior appear- ances business has beon gliding along smoothly in its wonted channel, with nothing to mterrupt ita course ; but ot one time there wera disturb- ances under the surface that threatened to croate as disastrous a panio as that of two weoks ago. TIIS DANGER, there is now pretiy good reason for belioving, is practically passed, and Wall stroet operators are, for the time being, free from poril—at least, as for from it as thoue who speoulato in thal orratio and unceriain market ever are. TUE NEASONS FOR THE FLURLY, ‘which an experienced broker characterized yos- terday a6 only tho flashing up of tho smoulder- ing embors of the late dirastrous panio to the surface, aro not casy to state. T'ho low prics of securities was the natural offect of tho position of stock held in blocks on which moneyhad ‘been borrowed in order to carry them. The per- sons loaning mouey woro terrified at the legal procecdings instituted in the Grinnell baulk- Tupley case,—thoy wero afrald that procecd- ings might be brought ngainst them, and, portly from their need of money, they began with " determination and onflrgi to place thewr lat:mku beyoud any injunction before it was too ato, It has been the caso in sll {mnlcs and money stringencles that to roalize large amounts of mouoy was next to impossible, Tho rapid throwing of stocks on the markeb the past_fow dnya has not given time to buyers and real investors to come into the market as purchasere, Tho extensive publication of the recurrence of tho_panio attracted large numbers of visitors to tha Exchangoe, with the object of - ‘! SEEING THE OIIOUS in full blaat. With the beginning of regular irausactions camo a rush to sell stocks, particu- larly those knownas Vanderbilt specialities. Prices, unablo to withstand tho pressurs, fell, and wild excitemont ensued, New York Central dropped from 85 to 82 ; Harlem, from 103 to 100; Erio, from 453¢ to 343§ ; Lake Shore, from 603 to 573 ; Wabash, from 86 to 828 ; North- westorn, from 84 to 82 ; Rock Island, from 82 to 81 ; Ohio, from 22 to 21}6; Union Facific, from 168{ to 15¢ ; Western Union, from b5lto 456; ond Pacific Mail, from 26 to 26, THE FALL IIURTS ONLY TWO FIRME, It was naturally expected that numerous fail- ures would follow on tho heels of suoh & crash a8 this, but, to the general eatonishment, only two wore announced—W. 8. Perry, u small denl- er in Broad stroet; aund Gilmam, Son & Co., bankers, No. 47 Exchango place. EVIDENOES OF RETURNING CONFIUENOE were noticeable at 1 o'clock. Oue reason as- signed for this was that, the decline having been caused by liquidations. on the part of stock brokers oud others, pricos had reached their natural basis or intrinslo valuo, and they must now renot. Theso viows wers aided Dy tho pay- mout of 33,600,000 of New York Central divi- dond. It was nlso nagerted that COMMODORE VANDERBILT bad from neccessity bocomo an active ‘‘hull” oporator in tho markets ond, ns ho would draw dividends on sbout 530.000,000 ‘worth of Now York Central which belongsto him, this money would bo used to clevate the market. It was further stated that ho had disposed of £10,000,~ 0 worth of New York Central & Hudson socurition at 75 to German bankors, and that ho would use this sum as & basia_for builling the market, partioularly Central, Lake Bhore, iflstn orn Union, and othier of his own soouritios ; and that ho would pay the $1,780,000 loan to the Union Trust Company. DISSOLUTION OF THE INJUNOTION. Although these statemonts and rumors hnd their offect, they were of littlo importanco as compared with the subject of the dissolution by Judge Biatchford of tho Grinmell injunction, which was repoatedly aflirmed and denied on the stroot. Whon the truth of this was eventually established, thoro wore fears that the 100,000 shares of stock lhold for tho account of Grionoll would be thrown upon the market in a blook for renlization, and thus create anothor panio but, to the great surprise of all, this did not take placo, Boon it became known that tho Vandorbilt people had mado arrangements with thoso baukoers pud brokors who leld tha stock to carry it over at least for the present, Allthis caused A BEACTION, and, through the skillful managomont of tho bulls," prices which had appeared to bo in di- rect routa for zera recovered, and rose with & rapidily almost as groat as that with which thoy had fallen, The grentest improvenont was in Lnke Bhore, Westorn Union, Harlom, Panama, Delnware, Lackawsnns, Western, Now York Contral, Rook Taland, Wabash, and’ Pacifio Mail, T.oke Bhore, which 'foll off from 613¢ to G734, advenced to 67, and reacled to 658{ ; Wostorn Unlon, which lil deolined from 61 {o 46, rose to 643¢, and {inally eold at 5314 ; Harlem from 100 ronched 106 ; Panamu roso from 80 to 86, and Dolawaro, Lackavanaa & Westorn froms0 to 863¢; Now York Central sold at 8?{@8“%: Rock Infnand at 87@B5@BTIH{@EC) ; Webnsh at 898@305¢ ; and Puclila Mail at BLI{@3034. ANOTHER RUMOR ADOUT LAKE HHORE. In nddition to other storics aLout Vandorbilt stocks, there was a rumor that the Lake Bhoro Tilway wonld pase its noxt dividond,—i, o., fall to pay {t It 14 also reported that, in ordor to taka np the Union Trust Uompany's loan, pay 1is floating indebtedness, oto,, tho Compauy would offcct o new mortgago, Nouo of theso rumors, however, could be traced tos good toundation, 2 .

THE GENERAL SITUATION. The Post snys the situation to-day is as fol- lows: At tho Clearing-Houso roturns of tho Dbauks this morning show au important gmn in legal-tender notes. Thero s no chango in loan cortifieates, and thoro is likely to be no contrac- tion of lhem ot present. Trom up-town mer- chants the advicos to duy are good. THE LARGE DY GOODS FINME, ¢ which, in the genoral unensy feoliug, have not ercaped unfavorable rumor, aro, wo are assurod, strong. 'Their collections are fair, and if they woro not um{ havo the suppoit of tho banks, whose duty it i8 to carry through morcantils firms which aro sound, and whose only embar- rassments arise from tho temporary disuse into which the ordinary methods of basiness aro thrown by the panic, AT THE PRODUCE EXCIANOR business is good, that dono yesterday in bread- stufls baving beon rathor above the averago.

George Bird_Griunoll & Co. to-dsy filed a pe- tition to be adjudicated baukrupts. This pro- ceoding supersedes, sud virtually terminates, the procecding instituted in involuntary bank- ruptoy by Honry Myers. s R VIEWS OF THE FLURRY. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, New Yomk, Oct.16.—John Thompson, Vice- Preeident of the First National Bank, made the following statement yestorday, in answer to tho quostion as to tho cause, length, and probablo offect of the relapse: I believe thatins fow days all eolid stocks will be taken up and an es- sentinl advauce on to-day's prices will bo real- ized, I have confidonco that this panic will Dblow over moro speedily than any other panic of its magoitude, My roason for this belief is based E!lnaipally upon the fact that none of the monoy or curmniy of the conutry has depreciated in value, The $7.500,000 in greenbncks, National Bank notes, and fractional curroncy are all Intact, beside gold that has come, #nd is ocoming, from Europe. In nll former cases the diuastor of tho country was added to tho usual money stringency, and banks were o great doal moro likely to fail whon run upon for the redemplion of their notes than they are now from the demands of dopositors. Itis in this peculiar position of our proeont currency that, o my opinion, lica the foundation for quick and snccessful roenecitation, It I8 hardly possible that we shall not hinve a suporabundnnce of monoy with- in exty days, for one-balf the firmns of the coun- try have, for tho time being, cut down thoir busincss, A very large portion of payments due are doferred, and the curroncy of the na- tion, when it comes out from its hidden places, will bo moro than the business of the country will require. 8till, it would be unressonable to expect prices to uesumeo their former status, The bonks, with Fey fow ‘oxcoptious, are in o sound condition, Their doposits aro remaining staiionsry, and curroncy is flowing into the cen- tral cities fastor ‘thou it is ordered out. The bauks m this it Lave, .In four weeks, liquidated thoir ) doposits from $207,000,:00 to $116,000,000. To do this thoy have parted with ubout £80,000,000 resorve ocwrrency, and contracted on loaus and disconnts something over 380,000,000, This Jiquidation is, I believo, abuut ended, although I Blhould oxpect no oxpsnsion at present, and I beliove that the banks will({trow stronger. ‘The most dircot and legnl relief to thoe monoy markot, and in aid of the movement of the produco of tho ma- tion, would bo afforded by Govenment issuing gold mote currency, based upon gold, which might be deposited in tho Sub-Trensury in small denominntions suitable for circulation in the West. It is ovidont tomy mind that, during the fall and winter, £75,000,000 of such currency would be taken into tho mterior and used in moving the crops. - Seventy-five mill- ions would bo realized from this gold curreroy, in my opinion, ns follows: The imports of gold {rom Europoduring thefalland winter,Testimate, will amount to 60,000,000, The gold notes of Iargo donominntions now outstauding would bo taken in aud oxchanged for !mnfi notos to tho amount of $20,000,000, and $5,000,~ 000 of Joose gold now Leld \ould also flow” into tho Bub-Troasury. Against all theso receipts, small notes could bo Issucd and used as cur- rouoy to move the crops. You may wonder ‘where all the moneyis, I will tell you, The . country banks, city and country eavings banks and trust companies aro locking ug_: great deal of mouey to their own dolriment. In ropeated instances, when dur correspondonts have come to us for ossistance, wa have askiod them how much currency thoy had locked up at home, and we have beon astonikhed to find that many of them havo three times tho amount of curroncy which thoy thought necnuuu? to koep boford the panic. Invariably we told_thom to sond a portion of that ourrency forward, and when thoy really wanted cwrrency, to tolograph to ue and we would sond it to them without fail. If all tho banks in the country would adopt thiese measures, [ beliove §20,000,000 would be tho fruit of the movement. Muchhes beon said about tho savings banks locking up currency. I can't Lolp thinking that the savinga banks, in locking up an uudue amount of curronoy, commit finan- cial suicide ; for, by so doing, they deprive em- ployora of the means of mucdng lflulr pay-rolls, and if labor is not pald those dependent on Inbor must, and will, have their depowits out of the savings baoks, AN ANONYMOUS OFINION, Tho senior partner of ono of tho largesat bank- ing firms in tho oity, who desired his name should not be montioned, oxpressed to-day tho followng views on tho financial relapso: Tho flurry was caused by tho unsettling of all confi- doncoe among operators. Nobody would lond money at 7 per cent “whon thoy might bo sorved with an injunction at any minute restraining them from collecting it. 'Tho action of Griunell & Co. started tha wholo tronble. Man can buy stock to keep at o nominal price just now, and they ara doing to with their monoy instond of lend- ingit, Youdonot find so much wild spocula- tlon in stooks as ono would auppose, Moneyed men are not speculativa; thoy aro buying to keop, The furry is, in fact, & lealthy move- mont; for, while'it may hurt a faw individuals, it bonefits tho gront mass of commorvinl poople by bringing stocks back to hard-pan value, and puttivg thom in tho hands of peoplo who intend to hold them, Professionn! car- riers of stocks should bo compolled o sell out ot the prosont low rates,—all the botter for the great mass of tho poovlo, T'urthor thnn that, thore 18 no reason why Wall stroot should affact tho_solid conunorelal iutorests of tho country, It docs go only through the eort of sympu |IE that nll business mou feol for eaoh other, Dry-goods men, ratuilors, importers, or wmnnnfacturors ought not to be aifectod by every fluery *in - exchangs, When we como to hard- pan values, wo will have su ond of these flurries, and tho Btook Exchange should hasten the time of its arrival, for its own pgoad, No mwmn ean prediet the prospects of to-morrow. The body must purge iteelf until is clennsed, ‘I'ho “fhury will koop up, I think, until every inflated concorn on the Ixchauge List is suspended or brokon, and solid values of stocks agnin reached, Rosumption of spocie - payment will not be likoly to result, ‘Lhereis 4 cent for small lots, and in loss conmneotion betivoen that possibility and the pauic now than at tho fist, JAY GOULD oxprossed thin ovening tho following views as to the cause and offcot of the panic. Tho cause of the troublo in stooks durivg the last fow days, and tho cousoquent revival to some oxtout of tho rocont punic, ia duo to tho salo_of stocks of Goorge Bird Grinnoll & Co. Pricos aoon aftor improved, but not for o period of ton yonrs have stooks bocufsold 8o low e to- day, 1t was golden o‘ppommuy for invostment, and thoso who soized it could not fail to make fortuno. I dou't know nxunll{ who the heavy buyers have been, but think it probable Comi- modoio Vanderbilt may have tnkon n fow shares, 1 hiave mndo a littlo vouturo durivg the day, I bought quite s number of shares of Wostorn Union from 40 to 6/, which Yanderbilt mon said woro oheap at 90, It is tho cliancs of o lifa- timo to buy now, and thora will . be hundreds in sixty anys who will bo calling thomselvos fools that thoy hiave not purchased. Now I goo 1o cause for o poasic. Wo are in o stronger condition to-day than on nny other, Tho crops are immenso, and the railronds aro dolug o very largo busiuess, It is in England, not Americn, that thero is cnuze for alaim, Thevo ia just as much money to-day as over, In Novenibor 812,600,000 inteiost will ba duo ; 87,000,000 alrendy duo are now nalni; paid. Nov, 16 thoro will be $100,000,000 call loans, and thero aro $10,000,000 tu@lb,ol}o,flbflcomin from Europo liero, Tho consequenco is, that in No- vembor at tho Intest, there will bo an abundance of monoy uniess thore should como. a crash in Iurope to eall it homo. Tho unensiness which has for o many dnys boen felt in Wall atrect is unquestionably sproad- ing throughout tho country, and affecting to o gnmtor or less oxtent business of overy kind, The end is not {ut ccoms,though in Wall street, T imagine, the diffoulty is now virtually over, Wall streat, which was the first to yield, will likowise bo the_first to recover, but oven then confidence would not be restored immedintoly. —_— MONEY AND PRODUCE. Special Dispateh to The Chicaao Tribune, New Yong, Oot. 15,—Money was _very irrogu- lar, and closer than on yeeterdny. In some cares ‘brokers accommodated each otlier at 1 per cent, but the bulk of the business was at 4@ per s0mo casos J¢ percent was paid for round Iots, Somotransactions wore rumored at 734 per cont and intereat for sixty days. Qold was moderately active, prico declin- ing from 10934 to 108%{, closing at 108%{. DNEADSTOETS. Owing to vory light arrivals of wheat,the grain markotis botfor, with good inquiry to il Eng- lish ordors. Millers are buying to some oxtont. Tho markot closes irregular, but fairly adtive, with & demand largely for primo qualities to complets cargoes, Wintor Wheat is firm and lesa plonty. Tho flour market is tame and unsottled. The stato of tho monoy market and the depression in exchange upscta values, and thoro is great ir- 1ogularity in prices. Demand for shipping ex- tras is limited; trado and family grades are in moderate demand, At the cluse, the markot was oasier for moat grades under GS‘.OD. FUEIGITS, There was fair movement in borth freights, at casentially unchanged rates. Vessels for charter are loss Bought for. —_———— BOSTON. Spectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Bosrox, Oct. 15,—There were rumors and ro- ports on the atreet to-day of the failuroof oue of the largest money lenders and real estate owners in the city, not through lack of property to equsl and far surpass all his linbilitics, but through his inability to get curroncy without submitting to an oxorbitant shave for it. TUE SPECULATION IN GREENDACKS continucs, "The banks still hand the certifieatos over their countors to many of their callers in- stead of tho ourroncy, and tho tightness in monoy does not lessen. Theroe is no disguising the fact that all classen of busineus are fooling the efect of tho money aquooze, and somo vory seriously.
