M. ‘On 'Change to-day wheat and flour were steady. “Wotton was weak and lower. THB EXCITEMENT IN WALL STREET fas undergone considerable abatement, and the @earket this forenoon was even dull, although in its tene quite feverish. This earlier inactivity was the result of a general suspension of operations pend- ‘ing the action of the Treasury Department as re- gards the sale of gold advertised for midday. Meantime the feeling was unsettled by the an- mouncement of the failure of another broker and the suspension of one or two houses in the grocery trade. The impression gained ground as the day @dvanced that the cliques and the “corners” were certain to meet with all the obstruction tnat THE SECRETARY OF THR TREASURY ‘could throw in their way. The action of Mr. Bout- ‘weillin coming tothe relief of the money market ‘was the subject of a great deal of sharp criticism, ecause it could be regarded as the interference of ‘the United States Treasury Department in behalf f one of the contensling sides to the speculative contest in Wall street. The power to disburse the government money so arbitrarily would give 4 dis- honest Treasury Secretary an opportunity for stock and gold gambling, which should not be per- mitted. It is easier to point out the evilin this ease than to suggest the remedy. Mr. Boutwell ACTED PATBIOTICALLY, of course; but the government should be above in- terference tn a stock-gambling crisis and allow the markets to adjust themselves, as they would by ‘the operation of natural laws under a healthy and mormal financial system. The earlier good feeling tmspired bythe action of Mr. Boutwell on Wedne @ay was encouraged by the further report from London by the cable this morning that the Direc- tors of the Bank of Engiand bad done nothing fur- ther with the discount rate, their contentment ‘with the minimum of four per cent causing a smart fise in our government Sonds in the foreign mar- ket. Meantime the gold market had opened at 413% and had, gone of to 112% on the facts just stated, THR, DEPRESSING TENDENCY of which is readily perceived, especially as they ‘were aided by arciaxation in the rates for cash gold. At noon, however, the market suddenly ‘strengthened with the discovery thas the bids atthe ‘Bub-Treasury were thirty-five i nuger, calling for @ total of $10,610,000, gold, at prices ranging from 112,25 to 114.01, the clique bidding 114/or $4,000,000. ‘When it thus became evident that the govern ment geld must go to the clique, a8 the sales could mot, with propriety,.exceed the bogd purchases of the previous day, exasperating aa was the ne- cessity, and when sybsequentiy a single million ‘was awarded 80 as to give the clique $950,000 at 114 nd $50,000 to the man svho bid 114.01, GULD ADVANCED fraction by fraction until it touched 114%. Here it halted and remained quiet until within a few minutes of ihe close, when a broker of the clique ‘catered the room and gave one of the attorneys an order to put the market up 10 116*;—a command that was faithtnlly executed—the last sales being made at that price and the quotation cloatng 1154¢ @ 116%, the general scramble to cover short sales being accelerated by a calle despatch from London ‘that our bonds there nad fallen o again late in the day, in.consequence of the depression in the gene- ral market caused by another heavy commercial jailure. And so enged the operations of the pool in the gold market. Meantime oo MONEY hhad opened at plain 7 per cent, currency to gold interest, but py the time the ascendancy of the clique looked like being restored the rate on call | had hardened to 4 per cent commission in addition | to legal interest, equivalent to about 50 per cent per anaum, Naturally the stock market drooped at | ‘this time, particularly as Jt was kmown that the Olique brokers had again gowe around 40 the banks and collected greenbacks for the face value of the certified checks which they had withheld from their own banks and the Clearing Howse. But their high- handed career in this procedure was doomed to meet a most unexpected obstacie in the DOWNRIGHT REFUSAL of two of the banks to pay greenbacks for the checks 20 presented. The institutions are the ity Bank and the Bank of Commerce, two of the soundest and most reputable in the city, if not in the United States, Mr. Moses Taylor, of the City Bank, defied the clique to their teeth and wilfully NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20,° 1872.-TRIPLE SHEET. Bank of Commerce, "ir, Henry F. ¥alh, refused also to pay legal tende’,s for checks for $131,000, and, per- sisting in the T*:fusal, was waited upon by a notary, who PROTESTED TH® CHECKS in the uf,na) formal manner, Subsequently he was serve?, with @ summons and complaint by Mr. Dav’.d Dudley Field, on behalf of Mesars. Smith & Gejnid, who have commenced @ civil sult for the fmoncy. Tothe notary'’s demand he returned the following answer on behalt of the bunk :— + iw we are aware that tiese checks are presented the pur of withdrawing from use legal ten- pee notes, we decline paying them over our counter or otherwise than tavough the regular exchanges from the Clearing House, as customary. Tn ths answer Mr. Vail raises & novel and tugeni- ous defence, As for the implied bankruptcy in the refusal te pay legal tenders; the ten millions capl- ‘talof the bank 1s an‘eMctent offset to any discredit ‘of the institution in the public mind, The condudt ‘of the two banks, while certainly against THE SPIRIT AND LETYER of the Jaw as to banking operations, will doubtless ‘be warmly applauded by business men. The only penalty will be the costs of judgment, which result can be staved off for twenty, forty or perhaps sixty ‘@ays, and meantime the clique has been utterly vanquished, This last feature of the Wall street excitement is one of the most remarkable develop- ments of the occasion. It is said that the action of the two banks was wholly devoid of collusion and was A SPONTANEOUS IDEA with each. If ratified by the Clearing House As- sociation, as It doubtless will be, for that body must be consistent with the rule expelling banks having ‘@nything to do with “locking-up” operations, and if the law courts do not declare the banks bank- rupt, aa they can hardly do without stultification, the extraordinary course of the City Bank and the Bank of Commerce thia afternoon opens up a way of checking and repressing clique operations in the money market for the future. As for the moral and legal points involved they will be a curious study for everybody. The public will discuss the former and the lawyers the latter. The views of the most interested parties, the clique leaders themselves, are given helow as they were communicated to one of our reporters this afternoon, and they enter very naturally into the history of this most curious com- bination of Wall street EVENTS AND INCIDENTS. When the defeat of the clique, temporary or otherwise as it may prove, became known, the money market relaxed instantly and the rate on call fell to 5 per cent before the close of banking hours, the final quotation being 4 a 6 per cent, figures strongly suggestive of the quict and calm of last week, before the clique began their ‘‘sad, eventful history.” In the stock market the chief fluctuation was in Erie, which sold at 55 cash against 64 regular, the rate for cash stock ranging up to 14¢ per cent and down to 4 per cent. The general market closed quiet and about at the open- ing figures, 0. ©. and I. C. being exceptionally lower. Panama declined to 125, The suspensions referred to in the preceding column are George D. Munroe & Co., stock brokers, and Philip Slater & Co., wholesale grocers, GOVERNMENTS HIGHER AND STRONG. ‘The government list was strong throughout the day and closed at a further advance of % a 34 per cent forthe gold bearing issues—a direct conse- quence of the relaxation in money and the advance in gold. The currency sixes were exceptionally heavy and lower. The following were the closing quotations:—United States currency sixes, 111% a 11234; do. do., 1881, registered, 11344 a 113%; do. do. do., coupon, 116% a 11534; do. five-twenties, regis- tered, May and November, 114% a 114%; do. do., 1862, coupon, do., 1144 8 11434 ; do. do., 1864, do, do., 114% 911434 ; do. do., 1865, do. do., 11434 @ 114%; do. do., 1867, registered, January and July, 1134 @ 11334; do. do,, 1865, coupon, do., 11844 @ 1181¢; do. do., 1867, do, do., 11834 @ 1185; do, do., 1863, do. do., 113%; a 11846; do. ten-forties, registered, 10774 a 1083; do. do., coupon, 108 a 108%¢ ; do. fives of 1881, registered, 110% @ 111%; do. do. do., coupon, 110% a 111%.

The pecuniary wire puilings of the “bull” end “bear” cliques ia Wall street yesterday were as imcessant as on the two days previous, and, judging from present indications, THE “CORNER” excitemext will prolong itself a few days further. A HEgALD Commissioner, who was busily engaged during the day watching the movements of the cliques, paid @ visit to the “leaders” to ascertain as far as posaible What toundation there was for the many stories afloat in the street as to their dia- mond-cnt-diamond manwuvres, The first party cailed upon was “OLD MAN DREW," better known 26 Danie) Drew. He was found in a cosey little ofice in Exehange place, the entrance to whiah was made formidable to the ordinary visitor by the warping in big letters of “Strictiy Mevepted the conseguences, Tho cashier of the Private.” Thanks to pie courtesy of & gentieman connected with the firm, Walch dccnples the front Portion, of the basement in which the old gentie- man usually holds D's daily business confabs, the HERALD represenYative was enabled to pass the formidable dooryvay unchallenged, Mr, Drew was seated at an ordinary writing desk, looking as calm and collected as though Wall street was twenty miles away. He was. | SMOXING A CIGAR a8 the HERALD man entered, and as the latter an- nounged himse}f he greeted him cordially and bade him be seated. Daniel/pashed his chair a few fect from his desk as his visiter sat down opposite bim, crossed one leg over the other and. exclaimed, in & good-natured tone of voice, “Well, sir, what can I dotor your’ The HeRauD Commissioner at once dived into the “corner” subject. and expressed a wish to be informed asto what Mr. Drew knew about the matter personally. Of course he KNEW NOTHING at the start, go the Commissioner came to the con+ clusion that he had a task ahead of no small pro- portiona, “L would like to know, Mr. Drew,” said he fin- ally, ‘whether you are instrumental in getting up @ ‘corner’ in Erie?’? ‘The old man looked rather taken aback at the abruptness of the question and for a moment or two eyed his visitor from head to foot, and finally re- marked, quictly, “No, sir.” He ventured no farther, and inguiringly looked at the HERALD man as much as to say, “WHAT NEXT f”” Nothing daunted, hia visitor innocently remarked, “4 don’t know much about the matter myself but Thear it said on the street. that you have a good deal of Erie on hand.”’ ‘This stirred the old man up, although it was ap- parent that he was trying to play ‘“‘smart’—to use a slang phrase—with his interlocutor, Twirling his cigar about In his hand for a minute or two he said, eyeing his visitor keenly all the while, who, by the way, professed to be very ignorant as to the ways and SCHEMINGS OF WALL STREET, “Well, Phave a few ‘sheers’ of Erie. But I ain’t a any pool nohow. I never go into a pool with saypuar. If { lose money I’ve igh fl ot Inyself to jor it, and if I make any, why I keep it; that's all.” “Hut there are those who cha! you with having attempted to make a ‘corner’ in Evie.” “Tain’t in any ‘corner,’ I tell you,” was bd reply; “you can say that for certain. “I wouldn’ GET UP A ‘CORNER? in Erle or any other stock if 1 thought I could make a million Gollars. Now, mind you, you can use those very words.’? pra have a few shares of Erie, though, have you not “Oh, yes; I have a few ‘sheers,’ but I ain’t in any ‘corner’ for all that. I never go into ‘corners’ with. anybody, I work for myseif and take my chances. What Erte I’ve got ‘the boys’ can have whenever they want ’em. I’ve got no objection.”? “Of course they will have to give you your own price if they want any of the shares you have?” THE OLD MAN looked rather astonished at this question, which plainly showed that his visitor had not been thrown off his guard entirely by the wily specu- Jator’s first denial of being engaged in a “corner,” and contented himself by knowingly shaking ins oe ein! giving utterance to the monosyllable— “Well. “Tunderatand,” remarked the HERALD Commis- sioner, “that you and HENRY SMITH are pulling against one another at present.” {don’t know,” was the reply, “what Smith 1s doing. I don’t know whether he is long or short of stock, although’ --and the old man’s eyes twinkled as he said the words—‘‘l believe he is @ little short of Erie, But,” he continued, “‘Henry and I are good friends. ‘There's no difficulty between us as I know. What he’s doing I don’t know and 1 don’t suppose he knows what I am doing;” andthe old man leered in a knowing way, although he tried. to ap- pear OUTWARDLY INDIFFERENT. “1 understand,” suggested the HERALD repre- sentative, “that you are fighting Smith in this way. You believe he is shor and you are ‘ong! of it. You've locked up all you've got. ‘the cash stock ts scarce. He is, therelere, compelled to poy, a heavy rate for borrowing his short rant and in order to get even he is doing all he can to TIGHTEN THE MONEY MARKET.”? “] don’t know anything about it,” said the wily old man; “what ‘sheerces’ I’ve got the boys are welcome to if they want them.” “At what price, Mr. Drew ?)? This question the old gentleman pretended not to hear, and after a few general remarks about tie pecuniary situation in the street the HeRALp re| resentative left the office and soon afterwar came across Mr. Henry N. Smith. He happened to he in an office in New street when the reporter en- tered, and alter finding out who his visitor was he came into a private room and quite pleasantly Joined in A GENIAL CHAT about the ‘corners’ and the excitement. “Why,” said he, during the conversation, don’t see that I am particularly Drew or endeavoring in any way to make a ‘“‘cor- ner’ inanything. I really have no idea what he is doing. Iassure you Ido not know whetlier he is long or short-of stocks. “But do you know that, he 18 particularly inter- ested in Eile just now do not. He may be: Thave heard it said that he is long of Erie, but you know one can’t put faith in everything one hears nowadays on the street. I will say, however,” aud the cunuing Wall streeter SMILED A GIIM SMILE as he spoke, “I am short a few shares of Erie, but it dosen’t amount to anything. Iam not uneasy, You see money is scarce, and the banks are just now all poor, You can easily see that by their last reports. Figures in the reports don’t always tell the true story, for you know phe have a way of cooking up tuelr tables and coun ing old checks, There's been quite a fallin stocks since last Octo- ber. Then many bought as an investment aud have since unloaded, desiring to make use of thelr money. “y ulling against THE CONSEQUENCE is that all the stock of the country, I might say, has been dumped in Wall street. THe stock is here, but the money is not. The market is tight in con- sequence. How could it be otherwise 7” “But isn’t it a pull and haul between you and Mr. Drew to see which will get the better of the other—or, rather, isn’t it @ tug between the ‘cor- ner’ in Erie and the ‘corner’ in money ?” “Not at all, As I said before, I do not know what Mr. Drew is doing; but, at any rate, THE PRESENT STRINGENCY will cease in a iew days—I mean as far as the “shorts” in Erie stock are concerned. You see it only takes ten days for stock to cross the Atlantic, You must have noticed that there has been lately a difference of between three to five per cent in tie price of stocks on either side of the water. That ‘ind of thing can’t last, and in a day or two every- thing will be allrignt.’? “1 learned on the street to-day that THE BANK OF COMMEROB had refused to pay you money on its certified checks ?”" It was only for & small amount—a mat- ter of $131,000. But f had the checks protested, andIand Dudley Field called in person and de- manded payment. The checks were drawn by the bank’s own depositors, and were duly certified be- fore I presented them. They were drawn on the 1ith, and presented only two days afterwards. ‘They were REFUSED PAYMENT onthe absurd ground that they had not passed through the Clearing House, Now, I want to know what a man could do ifhe had to depend upon his checks ing through the Clearing House before he could draw the money on them. He could be sent about from bank to bank, and in the lot 403 wouldn't get his money until itauited the where his deposit was. The action of the Bank of Commerce to-day is a virtual ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF BANKRUPTCY, and, I think, a violation of itscharter, At ‘any rate I will sue it, and it will have to suffer the conse- quences."” “You deny, Mr. Smith, that you are engaged in al ogy corner?” “Ldo, What littie money I control I don’t think can futerfeze with the market in any way. As I said before, money is scarce, the banks are com- jainiug Of it, aud what L do with money can have ho material influence on the market.” “ifso, what do you think was THB REAL REASON of the bank refusing to honor their endorsed checks ?” “Lean | given by ‘ive no other reason than that already themselves." ‘| “Don't you believe the managers liad an idea that you were beat op locking np greenbacks to as great an extent as you could 7” Mr, Smith laughed at did not like the way it was put—and said :— “I don’t know what tkey may have thought. All I know Is that they confessed themselves unable to meet their obligations. That is enough for me.”’ JAY GOULD ha) ed to come into the room at this juncture, and he abruptiy exclaimed as he saw Mr. Smith:— “Ol! 1 say, you had those checks protested, n't you?” “Yeos,’? was the reply. “Thats right," replied Gould; “why, I've known banks to kick against waiting ;0 pay ohecks until alter oni got through the Clearing Hause, ‘They have ¢« confessed themselves bankrupt,’ As Mr, Gould seemed to be very anxious to talk with Mr. Bmith, the HeKALD representative thanked the latter for his } courtesy and withdrew. A, T. STEWART'S OPINION. The Injury to Trade from Wall Street Speculation, and the Remedy Against It. In conversation with & Iera.p reporter yester- day Mr. Alexander 1. Stewart, the merevant prinee, spoke very deprecatingly of the system which permits such yeckless disturbance of legiti- mato commerce aud trade, and expressed the opinion that it would be well for the people at large if the schemes of, Wall street gamblers were more amenable to the lawa than theyat present are, Said the great merchant+—These men actu- ally gamble upon their own ability to upset the operations of men having less capital than them- selves, but invested in more honorable aud a ty farrea lp uch t stock opera themselves ond those engaged in similar purpuite it would be of iess consequenee. As it is [ghey paralyze trade and very sertously injure a de: ers who rely upon moderate Sepltel, Hoc one in is bobbing up and down’ Gr pas: although the flush of the Fi ane i woe upon them.

Another gentleman, whose interests are close); agected by any pulsation of the old Inatcator, ve it I HO that the policy of the gov- gay as sopilon tha fs y natin ernment in tional treasury ry low an ebb ‘as has been the case win the past two or three years was a great mistake, Said he:—The govern- ment should alw: in my opinion, keep such a or gold on tiind: as would bé @ perpetual reserve of chen io: the ye conspiracies ‘of cry taney. operators.
