“WALL STREET WILD. Tight Squeeze in the Money Market, “Bears” Get tho “Bulls” in the Horn of a Dilemma—Another Memorable Fri- day—Excitement in the Sireet— The Upshot of a “Clique” Conspiracy, “Who's got any money” Now, it 18 generally supposed, at least In Wall treet circles, that when » man has got so low 4m the world that he finds himself obliged to Sry out such a question as the above he isn’t ‘worth plucking; but Wall street, fortunately for he rest of mankind, does not always nave it in its Power to regulate everything in this mundano Bphere. It is, of course, a well recognized fact that the “bulls” and ‘bears’ have often so arranged the ‘affairs of their own little world to their advantage ‘that the unsophisticated portion ef outsiders who ‘think they can pull the wool over the eyes of any- ody who cannot poast of as many slips up in the Dankruptcy line as they can have come to sudden ‘aud uncontrollavle grief; but it has happened more once notwithstanding that money has been just the power that Wall street men have not always jon hand to lay tagir pians with. , “wil0’s GOT ANY MONEY?" How many men on the verge of ruin have not Hed out this question in their despair; and cer- fears ifone of the unsophisticated crowd of ‘out siders” had tumbled into Wall street yesterday ex- ‘pecting advice as to how he should make money he would have been thunderstruck on ascertaining that WALL STREET ITSELF WAS IN AGONIES }to get hold of enough of the precious stuff to pay its way through tweuty-four hours without falling by the wayside. In fact, since that terri. ble “black Friday,” wpen “the street,” the members of the board and everybody else Smagined himself securely fixed in some Block or another which he had got hold of “on points” that couldn’t be kuocked in the head, Wall treet never Witnessed such a Friday as yesterday, far as the actual money market was concerned, On Thursday it became evident on the street that jthe clique had Leen working with a will for many "weeks to gccure a rich harvest at the expense of hose who were not able to keep posted as to the ‘Away the financial winds were destined to blow pear Broad strect yesterday.

Broad stree, a tew days ago, cailed a meeting at office, where the LEADERS OF 11K CONSPIRACY ASSEMBLED id concocted the p.aus which proved so disastrous esterday. It is aleged in some circles that certain fn dignitaries of tie city were inieague with the lique 1m Uke matter, DUE as this suspicion Was given to only by the siumpic fact of the withdrawal of he city funds by the authorities, without due notice elorehand, it remains but a matter of simpie coa- jecture, ‘Lhe fact was patent, however, tuat at least ‘two-thirds of the moncy brokers were yesterday THROWN ON THEIR BAM ENDS, could not ior the life of them procure a fow jousands for thelr own or thelr customers’ use ithout paying the most exorbitant interest for it. gue stock market felt the influence of the rumpus @ Way that many a speculator had reason to re- ‘gret, fora decline of prices set in during the alter- fous thatat one me threatened quite a panic. (Late in the day, however, wien the plans of the ao- alled consp.rators had become pretty well venti- ated, things began to wear a more steady look on fhe street, although Northwestern, Kock Island, Western Union and St. Paul had a tittle tumbie of it tore the day’s Lusiness closed, Northwestern g ing the heaviest full oi ail, trom which, however, it oR recovered by the usual docioring process so ell Known to cliques in general. ‘The neighborhoud of tue Siock Exchange all the Way long preseated { A BCENE OF THE MOST INTENSE EXCITEMENT. e sireeis and sidewalk leading tuto the huilding ere packed during Cue afternoon by the half-crazed prokers, who wanted to get money on easy termes, or ‘ather, on terms Which Would not swamp them eur ye I want to sell a few Lake Shore,” cried one, ia Ihis agony, attempting to divert the attention o1 the growd irom the money quesiio: “Whavll you give.” “Pl pay cash und sell regniar.’?

In connection with the panic, hich, though t lived, created a great deal of joss in various quarters, it may be said that there jas a rumor ducing the day that THE CANADIAN BANKS played into the hands of the bear clique and hoarded up all the gold they could lay their iands ipon, and had deposited their acconnts in tals city. 8 they have no right to bank here in the way they alleged to have done, it is given out that the strict Attorney will be calied upon to take action od laaeeta und prosecute all the parties con- rn QUEENS COUNTY TAXEZS. @he Towns of Queens County Emolating Brooklyn—Heavy Taxation aud Charges of Fraud—How to Rob Neighbors to Pay One’s Debts. { The final mecting of the Queens County Board of jupervisors fas extended through a number of reeks and is not yet ended. At yesterday's sessions number of important matters were considered, nong them the charge that the Assessers of New- wn had fraudulently made up the assessments, d that a large number of names had been leit en- ly off the lists and that money had veen paid em for so doing. Other charges were made that B large part of the amount, returned as uncollected faxes from Newtown,§$47,000, had been collected pa receipts given. ‘The Assessors’ isis of very town in the county show a large icrease, xcept the town of Newtown, the asses ment lists Yor which are more than $00,000 less than last rear ($553,490).

The stringency in the money market was again the feature of the day—the key to Mnancial move- ments in Wall street, The “squeeze” of Thursday had produced so strong an impression on the minds of borrowers that the in- quiry for money commenced at an early hour, and many engagements were made long before noon, In these first transactions the rate was generally an eighth toa quarter per cent, bor- Towers consenting to, pay these extravagant terms rather than take the chances of having to pay more later in the day, While lenders who were apprehen- sive that the strinzeny ras only temporary thought themselves torvunate te Jrocure them, At the usual hour for making loans in the afternoon the offerings of money became more abundant and the rate de- clined to une-sixteenth, one thirty-second ana to ®even per centin gold. Borrowers on government collaterals were freely supplied at seven percent, While some of the first class houses obtained loans at six per cent, but these instances were excep- tional, The stock houses operating on the ‘bull’? side came upon the street toward three o’cleck and lent large amounts at seven, currency, enabling a general making up of accounts at the usual hour for closing the banks, Somo dilatory berrowers appeared after tnis time, and had to pay as high as one-sixteenth for accommodation, but they were suspected to be emissaries from the camp of the “bears,” who were determined not to let the market wind up at the relaxation to seven cur- rency. It was evident, however, that the stringency had greatly abated, if it has not entirely gone by, for the supply of money was larger than on the preceding day, a3 showa by the greater facility with which bank accounts were made up. As anti- cipated one of the leading down town banks—the Mechanics’—was creditor at the Clearing House this morning for @ large amount—nearly $2,590,000— which had been locked up by the “bear’’ cliques by the process of certified checks. The officers of this in- stitution, waich has always borne the best reputation for fair dealings, expressea themselves as highly in- dignaat at baving been made a tool in the con- ‘piracy to derange the money market, and were urgent tm protesting that they were innocent of any wilful participation in the scheme, thelr complicity having been brought about by the certification of checks which were drawn by parties belonging, it is alleged, to the “pool,” and were certified in the usual routine of business. The conspi- racy to reader mouey stringent is said to number sev- eral prominent capitalists, who began their operations by contributing their quotas to a “pool” of $5,000,000, Which sum was immediately taken out of circulation, and with the withdrawal of nearly $4,000,000 by tho city treasury and the payment of $1,100,009 into the United States Sub-Treasury on Thursday occ sioned a suaden hiatus of about $10,000,000 in the available money of the city banks. Most of the mouey wich went into the city trea- sury and United States Sub-Treasury has found its way back again into the street, and heuce the re- laxation of to-day. Otherwise the supply of money is almost as great as ever, for the sh.pments of cur- reacy are material only in the direction of the South- West, Which 13 seading cotion more Ireely. A FURTHER DECLINE IN STOCKS. The bears,” who know that the law of the statute book, if not the Jaw of supply and demand, will speedily terminate the strin ency in money, followed up their victory of Tharsday with another terrific attack on the stock market this morning, which they threw into disorder by the boldness and celerity of thelr sales. They delivered their blows with such rapidity as to check ail reactionary tendency on the part of the market and keep prices on a steady decline during the whole forenoon. As money grew easier, however, the market eluded their grasp and at vhe last board prices improved, and when, at three o’clock, money was offered at seven per cent, a sharp upward move- ment setin, Tue tumble in the forenoon was as Touch as four per cent lor one swes, wuicn sccumca to receive the brant or tueir attack, while the de- cline ranged generally from a half to three per cent. The recovery in the afternoon was as great the other way, and one security, supported by the friends of Mr. Vanderbilt, advanced beyond even the price from which it had declined, This demonstration gave great encouragement to the “bulls,” who tel- lewed up their triumph until late in the afternoon, when the “bears” again entered the fieid ana made greater havoc than ever by forcing prices for some of the railways to the lowest of the day, the whole market closing excited, unseitied and feverish, THE PARTIES TO THE FIGHT. According to street ramor the operators on the “peur? side incinde Dantel Drew, whose reputed proclivities are always in favor ot lower prices. On the other side the prominent leader 1s Commodore Vanderbilt, who 18 @ constitutional “bull.” lines of the opposing houses in the street are not go Well drawa; but the “bulls” rally around William Woodward, John Ul. Tracy and Marvin Bros., who are kuown as the Exchange place party. Tie “pears” make their headquarters in Broad street, at the office of Rufus Hatch, A dozen smailer houses follow in the wake, respectively, of these leaders, GOLD AND GOVERNMENTS. ‘The speculative interest of the street being wholly absorbed tn the exciting events, at the Stock Ex- change the business in oiher departments has been almost nominal. Gold was quiet between the extremes of 1105; and 110%, the changes following the slight variations 1m the foreign quotations of five-twenties, and being modified to some extent by the scarcity of currency with which to “carry” gold, The etleot of this latter influence was very slight, however. The Gold Bank returns show a larger figure in clearances, due not to in- creased business, but to the changing of loans inci- dental to the more active demand for currency. Governinent bonds were somewhat sympathetic early in the day with the higher rates for money, but when later it was discovered that borrowers could readily obtalu money upon them at seven per cent the depression passed off and the market recovered its slight decline and closed steady. Foreign exchange was strong at the recent ad- vance in quotations. CLOSING PRICES AT THE STOCK EXCHANGE.
