+ ON A SE OS FINANCIAL AND CQMMEACIAL. TUESDAY, Sept. 28-6 P. M. ‘The extraordinary complication of affairs in Wall mtreet ig stil! the absorbing centre of interest with ‘Whe business community, and the financial situation Ms only a repetition of itself from day to day. The regular dealings in gold are as yet suspended, and the marketable prices of all kinds of goods con- * tinue nominal. The Gold Exchange Assembled this morning, and a gleam of light was shed upon the con- fusion reigning in that department of the street by the adoption of resolutions placing the work of Making clearances with the Bank of New York, When the proposition was laid before that institu- Mion, however, it was declined, and the Gold Ex- thavge reassembled to further consider the matter, when it was decided to attempt the clearances them- selves, and a comumittee was uccordingly appointed who have been in session ever since, but have made little progress toward a@ conipiction of the work. One Incident of the meeting this morning particu- larly deserves narration as showing the terrible con- wequences which might have followed the culmina- Uon of the gold |speculation. A resolution to go on with the dealings in gold had almost passed when the danger which would arise therefrom was istantly pointed out and averted. Had the Gold Board gone Into regular session it would have been pecessary to foreclose Lhe outstanding accounts of every member in default, From fifty to sixty mil- Hions of gold would thus have been brought under the hammer, and the singular spectacie would have been witnessed of gold selling down (o par if not below t, This would haye been the indubitable result of the forcible sale of 80 much gold, The mistake was discovered in ume and pre- vented. Lyery member of the Uxchange would have been bankrupted, for the heaviest capital gould not have withstood the pressure of such hmmense saics, As itis the members of the board are compelicd to keep the market closed, for the resumption cf transactions would open a sluice wate that would sweep all away. As a matter of mutual protection this procedure is all requisite, he meeung decided, however, to allow the borrow- ‘ng and lending of gold as the condition to the pre- parauon of statements in connection with lriday’s elearances, and this was the only kind of business done in the once animated Gold Room, The details of these several sessions and of the general proceed- Ings in Wall street to-day are given at length else- where in this paper. The price of gold was nominal and ranged from 129 to 133, The government sold $897,000 out of the milion offered, that being the total of the bids at and above the figure to which sales were limited, The merchants who have so keenly felt the dead- Jock in the gold market were prominent as buyers, in order to make their payments of customs as well as to purchase bills of exchange, Although the rates for exchange are firmer for this rea- gon, they are yet nominal, the range to-day being as follows:—Sterling, sixty days, commercial, 107 a 108; good to prime bankers’, 108 a 10814; short Bight, 1083¢ 4109; Paris, sixty days, 5.2754 @ 5.20; Bhort sight, 5.20 a 5.1734; Antwerp, 5.271, a 5.20; Bwitzeriand, 5.273¢ a 5. Hamburg, 3434 a 9534; Amsterdam, 39% a 4034; Frankfort, 39% a 4034; Bre- men, 77)4 & 78!4; Prussian thalers, 70 a 70%. The National Stock Exchange adopted a resolu: tion to authorize dealings in gold at their sessions, and the board will meet for that purpose to-morrow @t ten o’clock, alter which hour there will be a market rate. The Gold Exchange Bank was stili in a state of fog, and thetmost sagacious could not fathom its future. It stood debtor at the Clearing House to- day for nearly two and a half millions of dollars, but deposited suficient securities, which will allow it to remain until to-morrow, when it Is intimated it will stand acreditor, The clearances of Thurs- @ay, which are 80 confused by the fooa of checks gent in to make good the differences created by the sharp advance in gold on Friday, are yet without settlement, and the suspicton was quite general to-day that the institution is in a hope- Tess state of embarrassment. The public will better ‘understand its position when it is explained that the Gold Bank 18 the stakeholder in the game of specu- lation, and thatin making awards before the game ‘was entirely decided it has plunged itself into the utmost confusion, particularly as the wagers of the clique were paper, which is as yet unhonored, and aslegal injunctions have clogged other wheeis in the intricate mechanism of the clearing department. It is for this reason the members of the Gold Ex- change havo withheld the statement of Friday, and, alter a fruitless attempt to obtain the assistance of the Bank of New York, have resolved to make their Own Clearances by personal comparison and trans- fer, just as they did before the Gold Exchange Bank ‘Was started, and just as stoek houses still continue to do. The evil effects of the delay in the clearances Would not be so marked couid the currency which 4s locked up in the banks be distributed to the vari- ous firms who were so unfortunate as to be con- eerncd in the great gold movement. The with- @rawal of eight or ten millions of money from the market is @ serious affair, and the secret of the second panic which followed the great break in the glock market, It is to be hoped that there is truth in a rumor prevailing on the street this afternoon that Secretary Boutweli will authorize the purchase of all bonds offered at the Sub-‘Treasury to-morrow, not exceeding four millions. The advertisement is for the purchase of two millons only, But if Secre- tary Boutwell will eo increase the nurchase he will confer a boon on the public which may go far to compensate for his late saux pas ia the gold market. The situation of affairs here is certainly a most critical one, It needs the interposition of such Power as Secretary Boutwell possesses to prevent @ still further aggravation of the derangement of business, Promptness 15 needed in the application of aremedy, or ihe present unhappy state of things in Wail street may precipitate a general disaster, The money market is extremely stringent. The Jenders are the few and the borrowers the many. Yo indicate the exireme character of this stringency it will sufice to say that money, since the crisis of Friday, has been worth rates of interest ranging all the way from seven per cent, coin, to seven hundred per cent, currency, per annum, the loans in such Instances being fiom day to day. Ayain, Wall sirect has its bad passions, like society in general. There are cliques and combinations formed to break and ruin others, One house prominent in tie street has been sonstantly an object of attack for a long time past. Reamor has from day to day in the present crisis printed its prospective collapse, War has been Made against it from various sources, In the ver- macular of the Long Room certam parties have gone “gunning” for the stocks which they are feputed to be saregig Now, all goncerned im any eifort whose object fs the baakraptey of such a firm, are guilty of a great mora! wrong, which in the long run will only revert against themselves. The bituation is such that every mun should do his best to prevent the furthor complication of matters, Private Jealousy should be forgotten, and every effort made to turn the tide in the other divection, ‘The markets were all feverish and unsettled. The State bonds were extremely duil and weak. The following were the quotatious late im tie day for the leading Southern bhonds:—Tennessees, ex coupon, 60 a 02; do. new, 53 a 5344; Virginlas, ex coupon, North Carolinas, ex coupon, 48 a 4844; do., 4544; do., special tax, 43 @ 48}4; Missouri mixes, 85 0 8514; Louisiana sixes, 67 @ 71; do, levee wixes, 62 a 64; do, do. eights, §2 a 85; Alabama eights, 90 a 93; South Carolina sixes, 67.4 70; do, ew, 62 0 65. Even the government market was heavy under the general demoralization, and prices broke down to the following figures at the close:—United States currency sixes, 106!4 a 10634; do. sixes, 1851, regis- new, 46 * tered 1189¢ a 11914; do, do., coupon, 119 a 11044; do. Gve-twenties, registered, May aud November, 118% 8119; do. do., coupon, 1862, do., 1194 & 1204; Ao, W0,, Coupon, 1864, do,, 119 a 119'4; do. do., coupon, 1865, 119/4011994; do. do, registered, January and July, 116% 0117; do. do., coupon, 1565, d0., 116% a 117; do. do., coupon, 1867, do., 1167, a 117; do do, coupon 1868, do., 116% a 117; do, ten-forties, regis- tered, 108 9 1083¢; do, do., coupon, 10854 & 108%. There was a panic in the stock market, such as at @ny other time would have produced the wildest excitoment; bat losers have become #0 accustomed to losing that they now lose with a much better graco and part with thelr stocks at @ frightful Gecline with less compunction than they would a few weeks ago have taken @ loss of one or two por MAD A “breag’’ of Ave or ton per cont is regarded with comparative unconcern, An analysis of the situation in the gold and stock markets reveals a curious transposition of the relations of speculators. In gold the “bears,” through the failure of the “balls” to whom they sold, are now “long” of gold at prices away above the present nominal market. In stocks the ‘bears’? who sold for the great decline of last Wednesday, when New York Central tumbled from 200 to 176, are also “long” of stocks, not through the failure of the ulls” to whom they sold, but from buying twice the amount at the decline, in expectation of a reac- tion and an upward movement. They were right in their calculations on the general principles gov- erning stock fiuctuations, but after making these “ong” purchases at the bottom of the market, as they thought, the ;deadlock in the Gold Bank tight- ened money and defeated their attempts at a “bull”? movement. For instance, they sold Central at 200 bought for delivery at 180, and also at the same price for a recovery. Were they were overtaken by the activity in money, under the screws of which they eventuatly let go of their jatter purchases at 160, losing all they had gaincd by going “short”? at 200, The market, in fact, got beyond the control of the professional ope- rators, and that class constitutes many of the heaviest losers. For once the course of events in Wall street shows that speculative movements are not always capabie of successful management by the professional cliques who have 80 often been their authors. Of the market to-day It is sufficient to say that New York Central fell to 151 as against 201 this day week, The “break”, in the rest of the Jist was in proportion, and is shown in the following comparative table of the highest and lowest prices for tie leading stocks:— Lowest, New York Central 161 Hue... 20% Hariem.. 125 Hudson & 137 Reading. 89¢ Michigan 34 16% Pittsburg. . 90% 1836 Nortiwesteri 08 6236 Nortuwestern preferred. 6 104 Rock Island... 100% Milwaukee and Si 6234 Milwaukee and St. vt Ohio and Nississippi ee 27 244 Western Union Telegraph. 3636 354 Pacific Matl.. + 08% 63)4 ‘The market, Jate in the afternoon, rallied: some- what from the lowest prices under freer purchasing, supposed to be induced by the report that the gov- ernment will to-morrow buy four milltons of bonds and thus afford the money market the relief of the currency equivalent, amounting to nearly five mil- lions of dollars.

NEC EICUL. Linbilities Over a Quarter of a Million— Widews ond Orphans the Sefferers. {From the Hartford Courant, Sept. 23.] The ‘inancial irregularities’ of Clark Holt, of Rockville, lave already been referred to in several papers, but as yet no complete and trustworthy account has been given to the public. In order to show the precise situation of arfairs 15 wiil be neces- sary to notice somewhat the business career of Mr Holt, who first came in a public way before the peo- ple of Tolland couaty as secretary of ti roland County Mutual Fire msurance Company. He was the first secretary of the company, aud served iu that capacity with so much acceptability for a few years that he was, ten or twelve years ago, elected preat+ dent and treasurer, Soon after he engaged in the manulacture of thread in Rockville, berinuing In asmall way, and gradually worked up a large and apparently profitable business. Meantime he Tetatned his position as the responsible otiicer of the fire insurance company. He was not aman who boasted 11 any manner of his success in life, and his quict, unassuming way of managing his affairs, remy was one reason why people generally gave hin the credit of doing a prosperous business, At alleyents, he had the unbounded confidence of all classes. No man in Tolland county has stood higher. Ifa poor woman had funds to be cared for she natu- rally applied to Clark iloit to have lim serve as her banker. Nothing whatéver appeared tn any of his transactions to warrant the slightest breath of sus- picion that he was not tully worthy of this great contidence, until a veryrecent date, when tae rapid extension of his business operations led some of his most intimate acquaintances to fear that he might not jong be able keep his credit; yet barely a whisper of thig was beard. These men now say that they suspected trouble was coming, though said nothing about it, thus confessing to serious doubts ag to their suspicions being well lounded. "3 OF THE INSURANCE COMPANY, The annual meeting of the fire surance company was heid in June last, and a littie mistrust bezan to come to the surface among the directors at that uuine concerning the wisdom of longer continuing Mr. Holt in office. One director, at least, heid out to the last, and finally cast ins vote against re-electing him, When the auditors came to examine the accounts of the treasurer—which they had alwaya done with the caution of prudent mes—the securi- thes of the company, which were kept in a small tin trunk, were not opened in the business ofilce, but in another room. Those securities amounted to between $15,000 and $80,000, and some $20,000 were m governinent bonds, which were exhibited, connted aud found correct. Not the slightest evidence of anything being wrong was discovered, ABOU? THE BONDS, It has since transpired that these bonds were bor- rewed for the occasion by Mr. Molt to cover up uis defaication. He came to Hartford just prior to the annual meeting of the company, aud winie here endeavored to secure the loan of bonds from dif- lerent parties, going, In one instance, to a well known dry goods merchant, and in auother to the cashier of @ bank, but in bota cases the accommo- dation was refused. He succeeded, however, eise- Where in geting the amount required to make up the securities for the time being. itis Known that he had in ii8 possession, as trusts, a iarge amount of money placed in his hands by various parties, and a portion of this fund, as will hereatter appear, was In United States bonds, which he cou!d use as a “blind” in his frand upon the auditors. Possibly only afew thousand more would be necessary to cover the Whole auiount needed in that transaction. BUSINS3 IN NEW YORK. Mr. Holt estabiished a business dizm in New York, under the name of C. Holt & Co., his brother being the sileut partner and the gencral manager. Duriag the illness of the latter the business became coasta- erably mixed and suspension foliowed, which pre- cipitated the developments bere athome. it 1s satd that Mr. Loit turned over the $30,000 in bonds to the firm and took poles ulerefor, so that in ease the deep game he was playing should become exposed and he should appear im the light of a criminal he could produce tuese notes, allegiag a fatr business transaction under the plea that as the custodian of the funds of the surance company he had a right to reinvest its securities tn such a mauner us he saw it, EXTENT OF HIS OPERATIONS. Those who hive examined into the extent of his operations believe that his liabilities exceed a quar- ter of a million of dollars, and may go as high a3 $400,000, In taking a sudden departare tt 1s not supposed that he has gone penniless, as nothing ‘appears Lo siow where he could have disposed of all the money in his hands, His property ts ail heavily Mortgaged, ana all of it put together would net divide ten per cent among the general creditors, CASBS OF HARDS LIP. The worst feature about his transactions ts the heavy loss which falls upon a large class of people in morerate circumstances, In many respects his operations have been simtiar to those which preceded the failure of Curtia L, North in Meriden many years ago—a falinre whien brought ruin to hundreds and caused a pro- found seusation througboutttie State, Innumeradle instances almogt might be cited to show the inhumanity of the may Mf it shail finally turn out that he fad not sense of honor euough to provide for those who were entirely dependent upon us honesty. One case is reported of a family oi maiden ladies, who had $4,000 tn government bonds, and about $2,000 in other securtiies—all that they possessed, except @ liltie homestead—which were laced in his keeping. A young man who had ac- cumuiated about $2,500 let Mr. Holt have it because he believed, ax nearly everybody did, that he was as good, ti not betier, than the bank. Since the de- faication cawe to light uothing can be found of these trust fands, ‘The absconder has eviilently clean sweep of everything, thongh he may some ie horeafter, As the matter now stands, however, the hardship &ntailed 13 of the se- yorest character, and is widespread througout the Inmits of Tolland county, qgecting old ‘and young, widows and shop giria, The business commuutty also suffers largely, as ono individual alone is on his paper to an amount exceeding $50,000, DISTINCTION WITHOUT A DIFFRRENUE, The Logisiature of Conaecticut, tn its wisdom, has declared that 1f a man shall appropriate tie funds of @ bank or an Insurance gompany he shall suffer for his offence bo aterm of imprisonment iu the State Prison. But if he accepts as a sacred trust the hard carvings of the poor and absconds he is only guilty of a breach of trust aud the iaw cannot touch kim, Mr. Holvs worst offence ts his ropbiag of the poor, who can haye no satisfaction; corporations robbed may—uniess disposed to compound felony, 48 is loo often the case—employ detectives aud bring the criminal to justice. So far Mr. Holt has pursued ais travels wamoiested, and if he returns wil! do #0 vol uytarily. SECURITY OF THR COMPANY. It should be stated here that Lie loss io the insure ance company does not affect its soundness in the jeast. ‘There still remain assets amounting to $50,009 or over, and its policy holders need not give themselves any wneasiness whatever. A fire broke out in the depot of the Whitneyville and Machtasport Railroad Company at Wiitneyvilic, Me,, at one o'ciock Friday afiernoon, and in one hour the depot, the machine sliops, woodsheis aud office of the company were entirely destroyed, Loss $10,000; no insurance, Fire Wok irom sparks flow the epging, NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1869.—TRIPLE SHEET, CUBA.
