WALL STREET! NOMINALLY 131 TO 135. MUTUAL SUSPENSION OF HOSTILITIES, GOLD A Chaos in the Affairs of the Gold Gamblers. Glorious Harvest Prospect for ' the Zawyers. DOINGS IN THE GOLD ROOM. The storm has not abated, The dark ship of uncertai.ty rolls heavily on the financial sea of Wall street. Yor the time the course is lost, no sun liguts ‘up the way, and a feeling of distrust prevails. How long the tempest may rage t3 yet unknown, There are sunken rocks tn all directions, and that there will be many wrecks 18 beyond a doubt. Some already overboard have grasped the s raws upon the tide, and thoagh Noating to destruction struggle madly to drive away the thought of their pending fate. Meanwhile doubt is the characteristic featare of the aifalr, which, by the way, is generally regarded with great suspicion, Aside from the gold dabblers, with whom, if unfortunate, nohody will sympathize, the effect has been disastrous. Owing to the continued deadlock in the Gold Exchange Bank business has been seized with par- 13, and the moving of foreign exchanges has been eked, while it has effected a temporary pante in ange. Moreover, the evil influences of this embarrassment are spreading over the entire country, and confidence is completely shaken. Great iudignation has been felt at the delay exht- bited in clearing up accounts. It should be men- tioued that the brokers’ statements for Thursday's business were due at ihe bank on Friday. It appears that at that time the statement of William Belden & Co., whose pransactions in the speculation are looked forward to with interest, it was most desirable thar the complication of their proceedings showd be guickly unravelicd, It is contended by & great many parties that the Gold Exchange Bank should have at once iseued a notification to Belden & Co, to have their statement furnished, and one of the grounds of complaint is that the bank failed to make any oMcial notice in reference to the matt The bank was yesterday employed paying di ences due on Thursday's business im the Gold Room, The bitterest feelings were unreservedly given expreasion to. Anxiety and‘rage kept alive the flame of indignation which burned furiously the entire day, To be sure there was not that wild excitement which prevailed on Friday last. The Speculation was reaching ils mighty climax, but the crash was then unknown, Gradually the fever toned down, to be followed, however, by a realiza- tion of the event. What the exact result was nobody could weil divine. The most conflicting fecllugs stirred up the lalent fuel. A distressing sonsation spread in all directions, and nervousness supplied ‘the piace of the great delirium. There was a craving for knowledge, a buraing th! for something, an awlal susp g for the verdict ould ctermine their wealth or pauperism, As early as nine o'clock this hum began. New street beran to assume a “lively appearance,” and here and th anxtous human beings, some bald with care, th ads being visible, since not a few were hatless, reised their pede: sults. The Gold to be the magnet fot Tesuiis of the spec and tu the course of many canada debates the bank came in for hard knocis generally. The great point of interest seemed to be the Belden & Co.'s state- ment, which all wished lo get a gil Pleasure, however, that was unfortunately de There wag, nevertheless, manifested a storm det mination to get liold of it, the Gold Room. Gold Room at ten o'clock, for at that hour the members of the institution held amecting to consider what course should be pur- sued to hasten the settlement of Thursday's and Friday's business. Had the gates of paradise been throwa open to the eager throng the plunge for places could not have been more devermiacd. The furies revelled with dolight, for music wes at hand. Upon being called to erder the following circa’ ‘was read by the President: — New York Gop Ex Boarp,) Sept. 27, 1809, Drar Sirs—I hand you enclosed your corrected statement, The rollowing statements of « have been rejected from the movement for failure to comply with the rules:—Albert meee ied Dornin & Babcock, Galway, Hunter & Co., Willlam Belden & Co, Zerega & Grav Chase, McClure & Co., Williams, Jr. & C aries W.

Upon the conclusion of the reading of the above Mr. Brown, of the firm of James Brown & Co., made @ statement to the effect that, acting under tho advice of friends, his firm had determined not to wend any statement to the Gold Exchange Paak, but had aéjasted all their accounts with brokers them- selves without the interposition of the bank, He stigmatized the statement in President Benedict's letter as far as regarded hig firm as a gross Inac- curacy, The beard then wont into executive session, when the following report was read:— The committee appointed at a meeting at the New York Gold Oxchange Bank on Sarurde ornoon, September 25, 169, to inquire into the asfatrs of said bank, report "that ‘thoy have been so far abie to sim- pliuy ‘the statements that the hereinafter mentioned names (these names are given above here.—Hy, HERALD) are the only ones that, in thelr opinion, Buould be stricken ont m accordance with the above.

The sellers. were of course largely in the majority, the buyers being extremely few. Tn One, the protracted difficulties in the Gold Room completely demoralized the sk market. More- , the stringency was not littie aggravated on aunt of anumber of the banks calling in loans and requiriug a heavy addition to the margins. There was, however, a steadier fecling towards the close. The Supposed Suspensions. The rumors of the several suspensions wore in many instances unfounded. A note from Ward & Co. is to the effect that the report of their suspension is entirely unfounded; while it appears that Drexel, Winthrop & Co. had no interest tu the gold specu- lation, not having berrowed or owed any money but, on the contrary, loaning largely to their friends. It has never been stated in these columns that any firm bad actually suspended in consequence of the crash, though it has been stated bata av iany labored under temporary embarrass in the Clearing House.

ADJOURN MEN’ There was comparatively a small attendance and little or no excitement when the Gold Board reas- sembled at three o'clock. The committee whigh had been appointed to ascertain the condition of Belden é& Co. with the Gold Exchange Bank said they were unable yet to make any report, as the bank had not coneluded sday's business, Jt was contended, however, that as e member, was numpered in the accounts of the bank the commitico should be able to ascertain the account of Belden & Co. by seeing what stood opposite their number. A motion was then made to take @ recess until four o'clock, It was subse. qventiy moved, however, to adjourn till ten o'clock this morning. The latter was carried by a vote of 58 to 13, and the mecting accordingly separated, there being just as miuch business trangacted as when the proceedings Commenced at tea o'cMek, The Injunctions.
