DUNCAN, SHERMAN & CO. Sreaial Inavateh to The Chirago Tribns, New Yonx, Aug. 11.—Cerinin ficancial and legal circles woro considerably sgitated to-day by ® rumor, which provailed during businees hours, relative to some of tho traukactions of the Iate firm of Duncan, Bherman & Co, The story wasof anch s romarkable character that fow merchants and bankers accopted it aa true, and it was with difficulty that it could Lo fully cor- roborated. Finnlly, application to the partioes immedintely concerned waa made, and tho tery was contirmed, although it will bo seen that the firm and their agonts look upon the transactions in & dilfercot light from that in which bankers gonerally rogard it. Fer o loog titne the cond:- tion of Duncan, herwan & Co. han been eo Involved thot tho lirm haa been forcod to raise lurgo loany on “‘accommodation paper,” rome of which was apparently of the flitosiest character, Tho torm * accommodation paper” in usually applicd to papor i the tlinpe of drafts drawn Ly ous repulablo house upon avother for tho Lene- fit of eltber, though ita acceptor is usually lcoked upon an the oue wha I8 finally to pav it. But, instoad of making such paper through tho nid of friendly Louees, Duucan, Sherwan & Co. resorted to the simpler expedient of liaving the drafts mado upon them by ove of their confi- dential elerky, which thioy accepted, and soid through third partics. The clork who wan thus employed was A. L. Burgess, and he in Ktiil b the omploy of tho houe, or, rather, of the ftecoiver. It was roported that tho drafs woro drawn undor various dates, as frum Bouth- e citios, and were, in all cases, dated in Now Yori. No confirmation of this report conld ba ottnined, and it ia probably uutrne, sinco Mr. Duncan and Mr, Burgers Loth ciaim that thero was o deception practiced in the matter, Tho note-brokers through whbom the acceptances were negotiated at the varioun hanka were re- ported to be O, If. Bogart & Co., of N0.3 HNassaun stroot, ond, on inquuy, this wan flso found to be correct. Thd ofllcers of eeveral hankn which held this paper decliued to admit that tho rumors wero true. It was qecentained, however, that the Faurth Nationsl beld about 250,000 of tho paper,but it s known that it bas becn necured along with the Bank of the State of New Yoric. It was generally underatood, though thoreia no praof, that cither Duncan, Bherman & Co. or 0. M. Dogort & Co, ropresented that these drafts wero drawn agaiust consignments of cotton, and in buying tho paper the banka labored under thie delusion. The President of the Fourth Nao. tional Lauk maid thoy Lad bod no direct transactions with tho firm of Duncan, Sherwan & Co., and that they were not holding £50,009 of the rm's papor, as had boen stated, but be dechined to say what amount tha bauk did hold, Wtilo he had no positive information ujon tho subject of Duucay, Sherman & Cou's linbilities, ho soid ho though! the paper held by their oreditors in this eity wonld amount to sbout #1,000,000. 1o had no knwwledo of their over having issard acecptances Janafactured in thoir oftico by their clorks, ard could not realize that such was the facl, Judgo Blupman, tho Recaiver, oxpreased surpriso, and snid Lio know nothing of any such paper. Ilo eaid he would see Mr. Duucan about it, and retired for that purpose. 1lo subsequently stated that tho paper had boen fesued in o rogular, logitimato way, Mr. Duncan eaid that eroditors held the * neconmaodztion papor,” and seewed to be e prised that the logality of tho operativar rhonld bo questionod. He said that the axing of such papor bad been the common practico of the Louso, It was a form which thoy proferred to the more common method of making au ordmary note, He clumed that the plan of making * sccommodation was ono which is practicad ovory dsy in thiscity. Iie added that it was a mattor of no consequence, as the paper was sold ou tho credit of tue tirm scoepting it, and not upon that of the drawer of tho bill. His firm had {ssued moro or less paper 11 this way for twenty yoars paet. Ar.
