A SUGGESTION TO THE GOVERNMENT. The N.Y. Times, of to-day, says: ‘rhe gov- ernment must know that the crops have been suddenly checked in their progress to sea. board; that the grain already here cannot be shipped; that foreign exehange is almost en- tirely extinct, and that we are gradually Betting back to the primitive system of berter;” the Times suggests to the Secretary of the Treasury the propriety of considering the pay- ment ot 1874 bonds due next January, which will release eight milliofl greenbacks, and the purchase of sterling exchange to the amount of five millions, and says, if the government does not like to adopt either of these exped eats it will be well ty ask the sanction of Congress with as little delay as possible. HOWES AND MACY are out in a circular, in which they propose to continue business as usual, receiving special deposits in trust to new accounts to be used only in payment of the respective checks of depositors, and to pay off their present indebted- ness as fastas they can collect on their loans ‘and securijics. The firm state that they have not pledged any of their collaterals, and owe no borrowed money. Their resumption is recog- nized asan encoursging sigu of the financial situation, and meets with favor from their ous- tomers. THE NEW YORK BANKS. The presidentsof the New York savings ban! report that a oy hel ard who gave noti on Tuesday and Wednesday of their intention to draw their money have siuce withcrawn their notices. The banks in the clearing-bouse asso- ciation are pooling their greenbacks, as agreed on W jay. Une or two which stood excep- donally strong refused at first to put in their legal tenders, but tinally concluded to do so rather than be expelled from the association. The loan comrvittee of the clearing-house issued, up to last night, seventeen millions in certificates. PROPOSITION TO OPEN THE STOCK RXCHANGE. The proposition advanced to open the Stock Exchange for the settlement of last Friday and Saturday’s business and sales under the rule is in abeyance. It is claimed that this would give investors a chance to buy stocks and bring money into the street. The government com- mittce of the Stock Exchange this evening ap- = & sub-committee of seven to arrange a plan. PANIC NOTES, It is estimated that two millions gold have been shipped from New York to England since the pamic began. The actual disbursement of greenbacks for the purchase of bonds by the sub-Treasury siuce Saturday was $13,300,000. A newsboy was ar yesterday for libelously crying out ‘the suspension of the First Nationa! Bank,” but was released on fipistane that he meant the First National Bank of Stemphis. No cases of bankruptcy against suspendin, bankers or brokers have been brought forwar on account of the non-lapsing of the fourtesn days required by law acter paper has gone to protest. THE SOUTHERN SUSPENSIONS. The banks at Danville, Virginia, have sus- pended; also the Planters’ bank and the Com- mercial bank at Townville. The English and American bank at Townville is still payin Lancaster & Co., of Kictmond, have suspende: n consequence of the suspension of Brown, Lancaster & Co., of Baltimore. The Tredegar iron works have discharged between six and seven hundred workmen employed in building cars. Ata meeting yesterday of all the New Orleans bank presidents. except two, it was re- solved to pay no checks for more than $100. All large checks are to be certified. ‘This arrange- ment is to continue thirty days, and is taken to prevent adrain. The merchants generally ap- prove this course. ‘The suspension of the First National bank of Memphis yesterday, was follo d: all the banks, which caused De Soto bank withia an hour. other fatlures, though it was feered that there would be to-day. collection and business of the two banks that feiled were turned over to the State National b nk, which suffered no ran, and it is believed to be solvent. The run on the Union and Planters’ bank :ceased at one v’clock, after which it received deposits which amounted to neatly two-thirds of the sum that — out. Business is almost entirely sus- nded. Posies at Atlanta, Georgia, is blocked, and the cotton market is without operation, there veing no currency to buy cotton. The First National bank paid out as’ usual yesterday, bat there appeared to be no serious Tun on it, and shere was confidence that it would weather the storm. The suspended banks have ample as- sets,and will meet every dollar of liabilities when the pressure eases off. Commercial cir- cles are hopetal, and no suspensions of brsiness men are reported. Tne Selma, Alabama, Say- ngs bank suspended yesterday on account of veing no sale for cotton. Its assets are believed co be ample. THE GOVERNMENT DEPOSITS WITH HENRY oLEws & co. A Washin, dispatch says the loss to the vernment by the suspension of Clews, Habicht Co. will not be large even if the suspension prove afailure. The only relation which this firm held to the governinent is that of fiscal nts for the State tee ee poet pep The disbursements of this firm as agents of the State department are not made through advances direct trom the Treasury. Under the newicon- sular law, consuls are required to deposit all fees with the agent, designated by the govern- ment, anG are not permitted even to retain their salaries. These fees are deposited with Clews, Habicht & Co., and at the end of each quarter consuls and diplomatic officers draw inst them for their salaries and expenses. ‘he general a average of these fees is pot equivalent to the salaries and expenses of the consular and diplomatic officers, and it usually far npc med at the end of the quarter, the balance is in favor of Clews, Habicht & Co. This suspension having occurred before the close of the quarter, it is probable that a con- siderable amount of fees have been deposited with the firm, Rory? which drafts have not been made, and the government may con- uently suffer some loss. It is considered that this loss will not exceed $200,000. The books ot the Treasury now show a very small balance in- deed due from the firm. Several gov ernment officers here have deposited with Cle wa & Co., in New Yt NO EXPANSION. ‘The New York Herald, noticing the fact that the purchase of bonds at the sub-treasury in that city is to cease for the presont, says: “This action can fy yes! prove any serious embar- ragsment, as the crisis appears to be syficiently tided over to render more currency unneces- MERCANTILE BUSINESS UNDISTURBED. The same moves on without jar or commotion. The great dry goods houses and the mercantile firms gen- po have been marvellously exempt trom the r ‘hey report them- able that tl is failure will be good fortune to the ren it it gets back the land with the loss of THY DEMAND FOR CURRENCY. The New York Sun of yesterday sa; ‘There is no doubt that the currency now here is ample to ¢: on all legitimate business, if, indeed, there is not much more than would be needed under ordi —— Ces. vent bo pod ts that every! who owns securities any kind, or has ’® deposit in bank, wants currency for it, and will not wait. To convert the vast amount of securities owned in New York into erage depos banks alone of this city is nearly 2300,009.000, which represents almost half the circulating medium of the entire country. These figures show that at no time and under no circum- stances coald the conversion now demanded by the panic be accomplished. It is simply ridie- ulous to expec: or demand it. The currency, if secured, would be useless in the hands of the holder. As already shown, there is more cur- rency here now than there is ordinarily, and much more than is needed for legitimate busi- ness purposes. Were the panic ended now and ordinary confidence restored, the trouble would be to absorb this surplus money, which, had the government loaned it rather than sold it, could then have been withdrawn again from circula- tion; but now it must seek investment, and wil! necessarily occasion undue speculation. But as the panic is not ended, and ordinary confidence nfortunately not yet fally restored, the banks and bankers are apprehensive because of the oppage of the supply of currency from the treasury, and consider that the announcement of its cessation will prolong the run upon them. THE EFFECT ON TRADE. The same paper says: Another trouble was devel yesterday growing out of the same ralcause. The movement of the produce the country is impeded at the very time the crops are being harvested and should be moved away. The surplus crops naturally seek the seaboard for shipment to forei, countries. Ee loop mcd hag p ora whi —— ere by shippers, w aw again on the port to whlch they are exported. Because of the unaccountable and u»reasonable desire of ev- ‘body to convert all their securities into cur- rency at once and hold the currency in their pockets the negotiation of bills drawn against these outgrowing crops is impossible, thas stop- ping the shipment and iyzing this import- ant branch of trade. The extent of this trouble will be seen by a single illustration. At the dock of the Anchor Line of steamers in this city there are now six vessels awaiting cargo, while two more are overdue here, all of which could be loaded at once with in were the currency available to cash bills drawn ainst such shipments. The evil is so exten- sive and imminent that the leading members of the Produce Exchange have united in a petition to the Secretary of the Treasury asking relief.” IN WASHINGTON TO-DAY. Suspension of Fant, Washington & Co. This morning, the following notice appeared on the doors of Fant, Washington & Co.'s pri- vate banking house,on Pennsylyant avenue, between 6th and 7th streets : “Banking House of Fant, Washington & Co., Wasurncton, D. ©., Sept. 26, 1573. To our Depositors We ate compelled to sus- pend payment for the present. Fant, Wasuinotow & Co.” The reporter of Tax Stax called on Mr. Fant, whom he found suttering with a headache, and considerably depres-ed by his misfortune. He stated that he did not anticipate suspension until after the close of banking hours yesterday, when he found that he had been almost en- tirely drained of currency, and that it was im- possible for the bank to realize on their assets. it was therefore deemed expedient to suspend nary “y= . “The trouble is,” said Mr. Fant, ‘that de- positors ‘n almost évery bank want their money, owing to the prevailing excitement. They may have great faith in the depositories, but still they like to handie the currency, and there is no bank in the United States that can afford to pay off every depositor in currency, for they havn't gotit. If the bankers ana brokers of Washington would only follow the example of bankers and brokers cisewhero, and give cer- tified checks instead of currency, there would be no trouble.”” Reporter of Tae Stan.— Why is not such an arrangement made?” Mr. F.—“Because certain banks would refuse to corsent to such #n arrangement.” R.—‘What is the nature of your ass°ts; have you any amount of government bonds?” Mr. F.—*No; our assets are mainly bills and sotes, on which it is impossible to realize at long do you think you will remain am confident that as soon as the over we shall be able to resume busi- nese, and faithfully meet every obligation.”” This banking-house was established by Mr. Fant and others in 1852, During the panic of 151 it sustained @ heavy ran, and again in 1861, when there wes a heavy run’on all the banks throughout the country for specie. this house sustained itself, and promptly met every de- mand. The house received deposits” and did a gencral banking business, under special contract with depositors, paying interes: and requiring flve days’ notice of withdrawal. In no Instance, however, bas this notice been exacted. While there has not been what might strictly be called ‘a run” on this bank, a large number of heavy depositors have recently drawn their money, which reduced the cur- rency in the bank to so low a figure that it was compelled to suspend, “Let us have Peace.” A prominent bank official said this morning that he was of the opinion that if the newspa- pers would only stop publishing so mach about the panic, the trouble would soon be over, and that, he said, was also the opinion of Secretary Richardson. ’ “Why, a few years ago,” said he, ‘‘when a panic occurred, it was over in a day or two, because the newspapers didn’t make so much of it; they were not so enterprising then as now. Pray don’t mention the name of this bank at all. We have had no run, and don’t fear any; but don’t say so, for the mere mention of the name ot a bank, even in a favorable con- nection, adds to the excitement. ‘Let us have pea Ne More Aid from the Government. About 8 o’clock last night Secretary Richard- son called upon the President, and after a con- sultation of more than an hour they came to the conclusion, and it is announced as their de- cision, that all the relief necessary to be afforded had been aiforded by the Treasury for the le- timate business of the country, and that the ury will payout no more currency than may be required in its ordinary disbursements; that is, it will buy no more bonds at present, nor sterling exchange. The Government will mot Again In- terfere, No formal session of the Cabinet was held to- ay, although Secretary Ricnardson and Attor- ney General Williams wefe closeted with the President. The furmer stated in conversation vith a STAR reporter, that the position of the government was Dow as firm asa rock, and that it would rot again interfere to relieve the strin- ney of the money market, having gone in that direction as far ‘as it proposed to do.

Since Saturday last buigoing moneys through Adams express have been about $1,590,000 daily, while that coming In, exclusive of what went to the ‘Treasury, amounted to about $600,000. The United States company have been sending out from £700,000 to $300,000 a day for several days past, while the receipts through that mediam are very small. The Natioual express company ship an amount about three times as large as usual at this season of the year, and the Ameri- can express company is doing nearly likewise. HOWES AND Macy, in their circular sent their correspondents the day they suspeuded, say: “We shall proceed to coluvert our assets into cash as fast as possible, and apply the same to the liquidation of our debts. In the meantime we have to ask for- bearance of those to whom we are indebted. Ali moneys received on and after this date wil! be held subject to the order of the owners thereof.” CLEARING STOCK The committee of seven, appointed by the governing committee, for the purpose of pre- paring a plan for clearing stocks, submitted a report to-day. No action was taken in connec- tion with the report. STILL CLOSED. The stock exchange remains closed.

A dispatch from Philadelphia says that the report published by the Sun, stating that the heirs of the late Chief Justice Chase will lose all their personal estate by the failure of Jay Cooke 1s pronounced false. The balance-sheet of the Washington firm is exhibited, showing that the estate has been settled and nothing is due. A HITCH IN TRE GOLD CLEARANCES. Several parties are short of gold and refuse to pay per cent. for borrowing, consequently there is a hitch in the clearance of gold at the Gold Exchange bank. ‘ New York, Sept. 26, 2 p. m.—Gold is now 13x.

Foreign exe change has been reduced by bankers to 1054 and 16 for long and short sterling, with ac- tual business as low as 104 and 1054.
