The meeting this afternoon is preliminary, however, and wiil determine what action, if any, is advisable under the circumstances. Mr. Mattingly, who is hard at work at the bank, says he is Progressing lowly, owing to the ill ness of Mr. Ruff and Mr. Zimmerman, but tha as they are better, he hopes to have their assist ‘morrow, in which case he will be pre pared with a statement of the condition of the bank by Wednesday. He cannot, of course official opinion as to the resu ion, but is inclined te the bell lose httle or nothing. NG CONMITTER nks met at 11 o'clock thi morning, but beyond informally discussing the situation transacted no business. They mee again at 4 o'clock this afternoon to certify bal auces. Their duty is tu judge of the value o the assets of the banks of the ass. tha: certificates amoun cent. of these securities between the banks, and to act generally the same as the New York clearing- tee. They receive government securities at par, and all other certilicates at fifty per cent. of their face value. OF TEE PRACTICAL VALUE OF THESE CERTI- FIED CHECKS there does rot seem to be any well detined idea among business men. Some say they are ready to receive them in trade, but will not give cur- rency for differences, ‘but another certitied check. One merchant on the avenue says that he will accept any check offered at its face value, giving certified checks for ditferences in return, and besides will, on large trades, throw off ten per tent. of the price of his goods. An- other says he will gladly accept ali checks of- fered in return for goods, and where the difter- ence is small will pay in’ currency. Some are undecided as to what they will do, as the checks are not in general circulation yet, but say they are willing to accept them if the same system vo Prevail here as was adopted in New ork. It is generally conceded that public conti- dence is being rapidly restore ighat ina few days the money now stowed awaytn bureau drawers and old stocking legs will find its way into the banks again. Good News from the North! Secretary Richardson to-day received the fol- lowing dispatch from Assistant Treasurer Hill- honse:—‘The feeling this morning is quiet and hopeful, and the impression is that the worst is over, and that the sitaation will begin to mend.” A prominent New York banker also telegraphed: “President's attitude approved Everything looks more cheerful.”” THE SITUATION ELSEWHERE. Summary of Last Nights News by Mail and Telegraph. SUNDAY SCENES IN NEW YORK. The scenes in New York yesterday were in marked contrast with those of the previous Sabbath, and there was no excitement visible anywhere. Last night at the Avenue hotel there was a conspicaous absense of the bankers and brokers who throt i its vestibule and parlors the Sunday evening before. The general sentiment was that the financial trou- bles will be fully overcome the present week. and that the fal business will be resamed upou a sarer and more satisfactory basis. RESUMPTION OF SPECIE PAYMENTS URGED. The president of the First National Bank in New York urges the immediate resumption of specie payments, on the ground that such action will immediately add $50,000,000 of positive re- lief to the currency of the country. RESUMPTION OF BUSINESS IN CHICAGO. Ata meeting of the Clearing-house associa- tion of Chicago, Saturday night, two plans for transacting business by means’ of certificates were proposed, but rejected, and it was voted inexpedient to issue certificates at all. This result, although a surprise, is generally com. mended, and it is thought the improved condi- tion of ‘affairs justifies the banks in keeping open doors for the transaction of business, and that sufticient currency iscoming in for the purchase of grain to make up for that drawn out of the banks by country customers. The officers of the Union National Bank announce that they will resume business to-day, MEN DISCHARGED FROM EMPLOYMENT. ‘The Ohio Falls car and iocomotive company, Jefiersonville, Indiana, employing nine hun- dred men, have stopped work in all their shops except the foundry, thus throwing about four hundred men out of employment.” The South- western car company have also reduced their force, owing to inability to obtain currency to pay their men. The ship-yard of Dawes, How- ard & Co., employing a beavy force of men, succeeded’ in securing a limited amount of cur! rency, and paid two-thirds of their wages. A reduction of force has been made, but the boats on the stocks will be finished, notwithstanding the scarcity of currency. ‘ PAYING HA GES. Some of the large employers in Philadelphia could pay only one-half of the wages due Sat- urday, on account of the stringency in money If the panic is not soon ended the danger is that this will become general; or what is worsa, lead to a stopping of work, as in the case of tue loco- motive works in Patterson. THE GENERAL LOOK. The suspension of the Unton bank at Chicago was not expected. It ts the bank of the city, and in a city which covered a vast business holding the same relation to the west that New York does to the wholefcountry. The break there, it is feared, will take a wide circuit and bring’ more suspensions. ‘The stringency and discontent m New York city now leads to a revivaiof the taik of an extra session of Con; and also a pétition, numerously signed, for the reopenin, Stock Exchange, which will take place to- morrow. DRY GOODS TRADE. ‘The Economist notes with pleasure the action of the dry s houses in keeping up their de- posits and in drawing sparingly, and adds that “similar reports come from otuer lines of busi- i aes produce, which is decidedly slow and flat.’’ Svicipg or A WALL Street Mercaant.— Samuel C. Sheppard, a Wall street merchant, committed suicide yesterday at his residence, No. 66 West 35th street, vy shooting himself in the head with a pistol. From what could be ascertained from the coroner it appears that Mr hg org who isa partner in the firm of Jas. E. Ward & Co., merchants, of No. 113 Wall street, has for some time past been saffering trom melancholia. Yesterday afternoon, about 4o’clock, the servants in the house heard a re- port of a’pistol proceeding from his bedroom. and on going in were horrified at seeing Mr. Sheppard Iving on the bed with the upper part of his head blown away. Doctors were sent for, but the unfortunate man rapidly sank and died afew minutes later.

Extensive Wool Philadciphia, in the West. as made it necessary e is city to discharge many of their hands and to give the others only three or four days work a week. One large mauufac turing firta has closed up altogether. ¥ GOULD SAID YESTERDAY: the panic isover. I have every faith now in an advance in prices, and believe that the market will be more buoyant than for a long time past. Wail street has been cleared out of a great deal of worthless stocks and so- called securities by the purging process of the panic, and comparatively tew stocks are now juoted except those of real value. In all cases the prices are now too low, and in that of good dividend paying stocks a’ large advance is ne- cessary to bring thea to their actual worth The reasons for an advance are that the money warket will become easy as soon asthe Stock Exchange is opened, owing to the very large quantities of greenbacks witch have been dis- barsed by the government in its late land pur- chases; that an immense amount of capital has been put into circulation by the action of the banks in issuing clearing-house certiticates, which displace @ corresponding quantity of currency; that England, is sending over mil- lions of gold, which will'come into activ \mmediately ‘on arrival, and that spect has had such a long sleep that it will be all the more lively when it wakes up again.” AMfairs More Settled im Wall Street New York, Sept. 23, noom—Attairs are be- coming more settled on the street.
