THE AMERICAN MONEY CRISIS. Reports from New York Improve the Condition of American Securities in London TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Lonpon, Sept. 23—12:30 P, M. ‘The news just received from America relative to the condition of financial affairs in New York city causes a better feeling in the market for American securities, THE CRASH IN THE COUNTRY. The Reception of the News of Henry Clews’ Suspension in Washington— idence of Excitement=The Run on the Freedman’s Bank. WASHINGTON, Sept. 23, 1878, The announcement of the failure of Henry Clews & Co. had a depressing influence this afternoon in financial circles, and an explanation of the cause Was eagerly waited for, One of the leading bankers said, on reading the explanatory de- spatch, that he feared a general revulsion more now than at any time during the excitement last week. The house of Clows, Habicht & Co., in Lon- don, the financiai agents o/ the State Department, have in their possession at this season of the year @ large balance, as the quarterly salaries of Ministers and Consuls fall due on the 50th inst, The news did not reach the Treasury Department before the Secretary left. Though the wonder has been frequentiy ex- pressed during the crisis that this house was able to stand the crash, it is hoped here that their sus- Pension will not affect their European branch, as the coin belonging to the government in London is Probably not less than £309,000, The excitement in Washington bas completely subsided, The savings banks were exempt from runs to-day, and deposit- ors are returning their money. The run on the Freedman’s Savings Bank has entirely ceased, aud comparatively few depositors were at the door of the Washington City Savings Bank to-day, awaiting their tura, Suspension in Petersburg—Four Banks and Two Commercial Houses Yicid to the Pressure=No Serious Embarress- ment Expected=The People Calm and Hopetut, PETERSBURG, Va., Sept. 23, 1873, It was known as early as Saturday last by afew of the initiated, and confidentially anticipated much earlier by others who knew the “ropes,” that the affairs of the Merchants’ National Bank of this city, of which Mr. T. F, Broocks is president, were in a most critical condition. Yesterday, owing to @ note of the .bank for $60,000 going to protest in New York in consequence of recent financial troupies there, the Merchants’ bank’s matters were brought toa focus, and to- day fits suspension, of payment was announced. Similltancously the Plafiters and Mechanics’ bank, of which Mr. 8, A. Pl ummier is president, suspended, and the Citizens’ Bank, of which Mr. William Re Mallory is president, though its suspension is not announced, is not paying depositors’ checks except in small amounts. ‘ihe People’s Savings Bank and the First National Bank have also closed doors and suspended payments, At first there seemed to be 9 disposition to at- tribute the crash to the result of iarger sums of money being borrowed out of the banks by their Oficers, Who owned large quantities oi stock im the Petersburg Railroad. While this circumstauce un- doubtedly. helped to complicate tie situation there were other CAUSES WHICH LED TO THR CATASTROPHE. Chief of these ts the fact that the commission mer- chants bad been making turge advances to farmers whose crops are barely beginning to come into market. The banks have advanced these sums to the merchants, the loans being secured by ne- gotiable notes on which nothing could be tmine- diately reaiized, ana hence the collapse. One house alone of the city had advanced between $200,000 and $300,000 to North Carolina farmers for Jertilizers, machinery, &c., and, us their cotton will not be in market for se 1 we their notes will go to protestin the meantime. t the large sums foaved by the banks jor the Pete: burg Raiiroad management nor the going to pro- test of $60,000 of notes due in New York by tne Merchants’ National Bank should have justified THE SUSPENSIONS AND THE CRISIS, The storm could have been weathered had people kept their heads cool. Within five or six weeks over $600,000, secured by liens on crops and farms in North Carolina, would have come in and suf- iced to raise the pressure. There is no danger that the depositors in the National Banks wil! loose anything, as the stockholders in the Merchants’ are for the most part wealthy Northern capitaiusts. The failures of Messis. Plummer, Young & Co, and of R. A. Young & Co. have so far been the only ones announced. Plummer, Young & Co., went to rotest for $63,000, The insurance business of roung & Co, is not involved. It is stated posi- tively that Mcllwaine & Co., one of the oldest and soundest houses, will suspend for the present, though their assets will prove ample to pay out. There are OTHER MOUSES REPORTED AS PATLED, but aby statement in regard to them now would be premature, The amouutof paper of vhe Peters- burg Railroad Company in the banks ts believed to be comparatively small, but it is thought there are large ainounts borrowed by the gentlemen associ- ated in the management Of the company. it is stated that Mr. Ragiand, the President, has lost noting, and that tne stock of the company pur- chased by him from the city and from private parties still stands in his name and Is secure. THE DEPOSITORS IN THE VROPLE'S SAVINGS BANK aremainly negroes and other republicans, Con- ressman Platt being President. The Citizens’ ank did not receive $10,000 irom the North, witch is stated to have been expected. It is given out that tue Planters and Mechanics’ and the Citizens’ Bank will be abie to resume in a short time. I give the facts aa nearly a8 they can be ascer- tained unofictally and the opinions that are cur- renton the streets, This evening the feeling is calmer, and the situation ia discussed, tf not hope- fuily, at least with fortitude and reason, Unshaken Confidence in Richmond. RicHMonD, Va., Sept. 25, 1873, The feeling here this afternoon has been one of nervousness, cansed principally by the news from Petersburg. There were no runs on any of the | banks, in fact some of them claim to Lave done more busin in receiving deposits than usual. The Directors of the Dollar Savings Bank have de- cided upon suspending to-morrow. The President States that the assets are more than enough to pay ail the depositors; but, in collaterals they are not immediately availavie. Ata meeting of the oficers of the four Natio Banks and of the State Bank of Virginia and the Merchants’ Banking and = Insurance Company this evening, it was resoived that they shall sustain each other. They expect to have sutiicient funds to-morrow to stand any run that may be made. Public contidence in the banks appears to be generaily unshakea, Precautionary Measures of the Balti- more Bank: Batttmong, Sept. 28, 1873, The situation was extremely quiet in Snancial circles here to-day, and the drat ¢ecided sock was givenit by the announcesi¢nt of the failure of Clews & Co. and ary goods houses & Noy York, The news came too late to have much visivle effect, but the financial and mercantile community Wore much alarmed at this evidence of increased danger. There is nothing, however, in our local situation to cause a panic, but banks and banking houses are anxiously awaiting the next news from New York, The banks ae, for the tirst time resorted to précautionary measures, meeting of the associated banks was held this afternoon, and it was resolved to adopt the same course in alding each other as the New York banks took on Saturday. A committee was appointed, and 4 bank requiring a loan will, on (epositing approve Assets with the committee, receive Clearing House certificates at the rate of seveuly-tive per cent, which willbe used in cancelling thetr tndebted- ness in the Clearing House. Although tho Baitt- more banks are still firm, and there has been no sign of a run on any of them, this step is taken as @ precautionary measure of relief to the comma- nity. There has been a considerable call npon our banks for currency from other cities, and it is said that the banks will to-morrow refuse to pay out currency in any large amounts, especially if there is danger of a lock-up. 4 An Easy Feeling in Philadeiphia. PHILADELPHIA, P4., Sept, 23, 1973. The panic in Philadelphia is now a thing of the past and, with the exception of the Union Bank- ing Company and Citizens’ Bank, all our monied institations carried on regular business to-day. The Citizens’ Bank {8 solvent, but the present course has been adopted as the most pruaent, the directors not wishing to continue until plenty of currency can be had. Jt will, most probably, com- mence business to-morrow. There has been no run on any bank or banking institution to-day, and the excitement ou the street has completely died out.
