FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, THE EXCITEMENT OF THE DAY. REVIEW OF THE SITUATION. Causes for Failure, Speculations in Rail- » Toads and Stocks. ACTION OF THE BANKS Prospects Ahead—Is There Neces- sity for a Fright? THE BANK STATEMENT. Further Reduction in the Bank Reserve. IN A NUTSHELL. THINGS WALL STREET, SaTuRDAY, Sept. 20—6 P. M. On ’Change to-day cotton was quiet, both for spot and future, but prices were not essentially changed. Flour, wheat and corn were lower; values for which were more or less nominal. ‘The events that have transpired to-day in Wall Street ought to be contemplated with the utmost calmness. This is no time for men to lose their Judgment. If the Stock Excnange suspended ts ‘labors it was wisely done in antici- pation of the grander evils that seemed to be surging onward wih the great wave of speculation that has threattned to submerge the street. Men whose names have been honored in every department of trade were going down; firms which had successfully resisted the worst of former crises were being submerged; values were shrinking with a rapidity that could either be controlled nor followed; stocks which but a few days ago were regarded among the ehoicest of mercantile securities lost prestige by fepreciating fifteen, twenty and thirty per cent. ‘Margins’ were being exhausted; customers were either too distant or unable to make good the differences; sales took place at a sacrifice ; money hardened ; the most creditable men in the street were unable to obtain funds even on the best of paper at less than one and one half and two per cent, so that it was almost useless to at- tempt to continue business on a safe basis; the excitement grew apace, runs began on well-known banks—strong inherently, yet victims of the hour; suspensions followed, and rumors filled the air well calculated to demoralize the best regulated minds. It was but natural, therefore, with the ex- perience of tne past before them, that the Govern- ing Committee of the Stock Exchange should de- termine to suspend the business of the Board and create an interval during which values could settle and discretion could recover its equilibrium. This has been done, and we believe that the course of events, both here and elsewhere, will attest the prudence of the policy adopted. second time in the history of Wall street that such an event has taken place; yet, never before has there been such a combination of incidents calcu- fated to bring about this result. The panic started with the failure of one or two parties identified with incomplete railroads. The stock market at the time was in a feverish condition, responsive to slight causes and tremulous in the extreme. Its strength consisted in two or three stocks, GQrmly upheld by great operators. They had come to be regarded as the key-note of the market. Even these, however, could not at last resist the pressure. They ‘broke,’ and in Going so naturally carried with them the entire list of speculative securities. The decline was somewhat in proportion to nominal values, and | #% bence when parties holding other than the dividend paying stocks sought accommodation in banks or trust companies to help them out of the quandary that had been forced, they found only discomfiture. Thus the weakness of a few railroads has extended through the entire network of our local finance. The pulling down of one or two great houses produced distrust. Money, always timid, retreated into private recesses. Depositors commenced to fun upon banks; the banks have been unable to afford their usual accommodations, have refused each other’s checks though certified, and at last, as @ consequence of universal doubt, have been com- pelled in self-defence to arrange with the Clearing House for the issue by the latter of certain joan Certificates based on acceptable assets, which are to be received in the settlement of all Clearing House differences in the place of legal tender notes, Practically this action means the expansion of bank credits and the economizing of legal tenders, It aids the banks, but it is yet to be seen what facilities are thus extended to depositors and busivess men. As regards the savings banks, there is no good reason why, if the officers of the same have rigidly done their duty, there should be any cause of alarm, Theirsecurities are regulated by law, and they are not such as ordinarily fuctuy ate in value. They shoulda not be materially de- preciated now. Hence & run upon them is both injudicious and unwarranted by events. The de- positor should understand that thus far our financial troubles result only from local speculation. Crops are good ; business is first rate; ourmerchants have rarely done better than they are doing this season. They are not suffering from this temporary disturbance, and we cun safely count on a large fall trade and handsome returns. *There may be a temporary panic reaching from New York to Chicago and further West, because there is a necessary relationship between the bank- {ng houses of the respective sections incident to the movement of crops and ordinary commercial transactions; but taking a cheerful view we cannot | see any other in the action of our banks thus far than | purcly precautionary measures, which are as much calculated for the protection of the depositor as for their own. Whatever is weak and unworthy lt is, perhaps, the | willgo down, So let it be, Thunder storms always clear the atmosphere. Whatever is good | will come forth from the trial purified and more thoroughly worthy of public confidence than be- fore. Coming back to the subject of the Stock Exchange, it is to be hoped that no attempt will | ; be made to resume business until after this whirl- wind has passed away. No matter how many firms may be loaded with stocks, no matter how specu- lation may suffer, no matter how many | hundreds may desire to “receive” or “deliver,” there is not a contingency that can be thought of which should induce the Governing Committee of that body to open its doors until this excitement 4g in 9 shape that can be handied and the bankers and brokers have become so subdued as that they can be again trusted on their mental legs. Ali in all, the situation is one of great gravity, and for that very reason it should commana the utmost calmness on the part of the public. In the | midst of the wildest excitement writer of these lines saw a young clerk deposit in a bank, where fifty others had gathered to with- draw money, @ check for $100,000. Let the mer- chants of the country likewise rally, if needs be, to the rescue of these institutions—first, however, satisfying themselves of their integrity, and when satisfied “grapple to them as with hooks of steel,’ for if the banks of America yield to this wave that has started so like a rivulet where can credit atand and what will eventually be the value of an American greenback? Patriotism, commerce, duty, everything appeals to the public at thig juncture to exercise wisdom, resist panic, afford strength, and aid in the restoration of pub- Nec confidence. It is not difficult to analyze the situation in @ nutshell. It results from inflation of credits; the expansion of business on a to-day the | 5 amall capital; the attempt to do too much NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1873—QUADRUPLE SHEET. witnout commensurate means; an ambition to grow rich, individually and nationally, with too much haste; @ disposition to assume debt that another generation is expected to pay, and an extravagance in social life that is calculated to destroy the energies of the best people in the world, The impending ruin may extend. We trust and believe tt will be checked; but, in any event, @ lesson will be taught that is full of | compensations, We shall learn to know the mean- ing of dollars. Institutions will learn the mean- ing of congervatism and 4 proper oversight of their interior concerns, Congress will learn tarecognize the duty it owesto commerce in throwing around it the protection of a banking system that cannot be disturbed by the failure of even a score of millionaires, and the country at large will ac- quire additional strength in avoiding speculations thatare but pictures on paper and frauds on the understanding. The events of the day will be de- tailed in another column, so that it is unnecessary to refer to them here, THE BANK STATEMENT, which is due to-day, has been looked for with the greatest eagerness, but did not make its appear- ance until late this evening. It is important, in- asmuch as it shows & deficit under the legal reserve of $3,211,075. There has been a decrease in loans during the week of $6,114,500; in specie, $1,597,700; ta ley ul tenders, $2,409,300; in deposits, $9,277,400, and an increase in circulation of $30,800.

Race on the Harlem River= Charles Myers, of the Nassau Boat Club, vs. T. R. Keator, of the Har- Jem Rowing Club—Myers the Winner. A single scull’ race, which had been looked for- ward to with considerable interest by the amateur oarsmen of the city, came off on the Harlem River just after sunset last evening, The principals were Mr, Charles Myers, of the Nassau Boat Club, and Mr. T. R. Keator, of the Harlem Rowing Club, the course being three mules straight away, and the prize a gold medal of the value of $100, The many friends of Mr. Keator, a8 he was the victor in the Junior scull race at Saratoga recently, made him a | Slight favorite in the few bets of moderate sums | noticed, The day was not of the pleasantest character, as a fresh northwest wind was blowing, which caused the water to be quite rough, and changed the pro- gtamme in the manner of rowing the race from starting and going up, as originally intended, to that of rowing down theriver. It was agreed that 440 feet above Morris’ Dock to the powder schooner would pe a full three-mile course, The wheezy and | " | East Fourteenth street, crablike steamboat for th@ occasion, and shortly before five o'clock the boats or, the principals were taken on board the Catiin, and, with an agreeablé company of gentlemen, she steamed away to the starting point. In making Morris’ Dock to land the shells a little mishap occurred which might have proved very disastrous, ‘Doc’? Withers, of the Atalantas, in rowing alongside the Catlin, was caught in her starboard wheel, and be fore his shell could be extricated six feet of her bow was knocked off und “Doc” was rescued by a Catlin was chartered jspassing working boat in a sinking condition and with a very wet jacket. Mr. Charles Myers, of the Nassaus, is 25 years old, 6 feet 2 fnches in height and weighed yesterday 143 pounds. His craft, of cedar, was buflt by Thomas | Fearon, is 30 feet long, 114 inches wide, 634 inches deep and weighs 30 pounds. His rowing colors were @ blue suit. Mr. T. R, Keator, of the Hariem Rowing Club, 1s 22 years of age, 5 feet 10 inches high, and weighed esterday 155 pounds, His shell, of cedar, was uilt by Byles & Wallis, is 30 feet 10 inches in length, 11 inches wide and weighs 30 pounds. Mr. Keator rowed in blue and red, THE RACE. It was about slack water when the boats got into position, and at 5:42 P.M, the word was gran Keator had the inside or New York shore. Hoth men caught the water prettily and went away about their business on very even terms. After being away thirty seconds each was rowing thirty-eight strokes to the minute, but Myers’ oars were handled in a cleaner style than his opponent's, and seemed to be in the water all the time. When gone a little over an eighth of a mile Charles was forging slightly ahead of Thomas, and at the end of a quarter of a mile from the start he led fully a length and was doing excellent work. Here Keator met a sad mishap, as, getting too near tbe New York shore, he puiled his trail crait between the rocks that lay in | eld profusion along the banks and betore he could get out of the difficulty Myers was seven lengths ahead. From this time Keator had no chance of winning, but he resolutely stuck to his work, however, and Myers easing to thirty-four strokes tie two came nearer together, but this for an instant only, as going under High Bridge Myers had a lead of ten lengths, and allthe while he was pulling coolly and collected as possible, and not exhaust ing himseif inthe least. Both men were pulling thirty-four to the minute in passing under Mcvomb’s, with Myers fifteen lengths in advance. He then went away for the goal at a pretty pace, and won the race by 150 yards, the time being 22n $500 Sanat enon new fa Niture (insured for $3,0")) and five per cent per month interest, Address Soxvsitant Herai Ustown Branch office. “‘((() 82.000, 86,00) TO_LOAN, IN WESTCHES. $1.00 #3 an ‘and New York. or will pur- chase Mortgage.
