Heavy Shipments of Gold to the United Btates—The Rate of Discount Likely To Be Advanced. TELECEANS 10 THE NEW YORK HERALD. Lonpon, Sept, 26—5:30 P. M. Four hundred and twenty-eight thousand pounds Sterling, in sovereigns, and £51,000 in gold bars, were drawn from the Bank of England to-day ior shipment to America, It is believed that the heavy shipments of gold to America, already reported, are not made in consequence of the low nominal rate of exchange, but to settle the liabilities of bankers here, in- curred before the financial troubles in New York began. BFFECT OF THR BULLION OUTFLOW CRISIS. The market for all American accurities is fat, and prices have (4:45 P. M.) declined heavily. The immense withdrawals of bullion from the Bank of England, in consequence of unfavorable rumors from New York, is apparently the cause of the depression in the market for American secur- ities.

JAY COOKE & CO.'S STATEMENT. ee PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 26, 1873, A statement of the assets and liabilities of the firm of Jay Cooke & Co., of Philadelphia, New York and Washington, has been prepared by them, which is to be submitted to their creditors. The following is asummary :— Liabilities . ++ $7,989,409 26 Assets—Hills receivable, bank, ir ance and other stocks, bonds and Teal C8tBtO..........0 06 +. 7,867,640 12 Loans to Northern Pacific Railroad Company on $3,750,000 of stock ofthe Oregon Steam Navigation Company, 1,500,000 00 Loan to the Northern Pacitic Ratiroad Company, on bonds ofthe company. 4,068,215 09 Secon: Mortgage railroad bonds, stocks, &C...... srreeeeees 2,630,856 96 ET a RS icy oi edhe sr eeeeese es + $15,966,212 17 The above exhibit of liabilities is exclusive of $1,701,140 99, loans of the firm which are fully se- cured by good collaterals, The excess of collaterals upon these loans has been estimated and included in the assets, The firm expects soon to submit a proposit.on tor a settiement with its creditors, which, it believes, will be acceptable to the latter. Although it will of course require time in the con- version of its assets, the handsome showing made leaves no doubt of its ability to pay every dollar of its indebtedness with interest, and still to have a surplus of several million dollars. A gratifying feature in the above exhibit is the fact that, although some embarrassment of the firm has been occsshtoned by its large advances to the Northern Pacific und connecting roads which it was. carrying during a period of unprecedented monetary stringency, its resources outside of these advances are amply sufficient to secure all its crediiors from ultimate loss, UNION TRUST COMPANY : A Statement at Last—Cariton’s Alleged Defaication—What the Examining Committee Say. The following is the report of the Examining Committee of the Trust Company. It has been conourred in by the receiver, Mr, KE, B. Wesley. ‘The report was made at hall-past ten o'clock last night :— The undersigned, 8 committee appointed of the trustees of the Union Trust Vompany, leld on the 22d inst., have, in conjunction with tne Receiver (who unitesin this statement), examined the as- sets, accounts and books of the company, with all the thoroughness and care which time and the large amount of labor involved have permitted. The absence of the President of the company and of tue late Secretary, Charles T. Cariton, who absconded on the 19th inst., made it impossible to determine many difficult and doubtful questions which arose during the examination, and which must be the subject of patient and laborious in- vestigation hereafter. The results which have been reached under these circumstances are briefly as follows :— Firsi—The trust securities in the trust of the company, received under order of the courts, and those deposited by individuals, amounting, in all, to $434,265 43, it is satisfactory to state were found to correspond with the accounts in the books, and the committee have no reason to question the cor- rectness of this department of the company's affairs. Second—The amount of debts due to the Com- pany is, according wo the books, $6,300,528 01, Of this amount $1,500,000 is a demand debt against the Lake Snore and Michigan Southern Railroad Company. For $577,000 of the resiaue of these loans no securities can be iound in their proper places, and it is believed they have been ab- stracted, except as to $173,000, the gross amount of several securities found in the vaults of the com- pany, which are treated as appiicable to this account, aud the present value of which is estim- ated at $148,590. This deducted trom above amount Of $577,000 leaves $428,500, This leaves asses of $6,381,028 O1, The property of the late secretary, who, no doubt, is the party responsible for the late ab- stractions, has been attached by a receiver, and, it ts hoped, that the proceeds will, in time, reduce this loss, Third—The committee have devoted a large por- tion o! their time to an investigation of his ac- counts aid transactions with the company, which will be continued by the receiver until all the facts can be ascertained, Assets froM ADOVE,....6. 666660000006. $6,981,028 OL Other assets :— Overdrat(t of Michigan Southern and Lake Shore Railroad Company.....

The debt iver las reason to believe, will be any, the re- justed at an e ay, day. The amount is such that its prompt setsiement is a matter of great importance to the Trust Comp: On an eXamination and approxi- mate estimate from the best data that the commit- tee has been able to obtain as to the value of the collateral securities held by the company (other than tose held for the Lake Shore Ri Com- pany). and assuming values as they stood on the 8th inst. the joss on their sale, should it be forced, would not exceed $250,000, or less than five per ey for which the debtors would remain respon- sible. No doubt arrangements will be made in most cases to avoid a sale, and the eventual toss will, it is believed, be ‘y much velow the above esti- mate. Third—The amount of the company’s liabilities for deposits and credit balances on the 20th inst., woen the receiver was "tomo as appears from its books, was $6,273,518 52. ‘The committee have no reason to question the correctness of this amount. Fourth—Vhe sollowing is a summary of the con- dition of the company when it passed into the hands of the recetver:— Debts due to the company and tte cash on hand, as above sees United States five-twenty gold boi lodged with the Bank Department Albany (at par $100,000), estimated teseeeeee + 116,000 00 re en and Hartford Ratiraad stock (at par $20,000), estimated to be worth at least...

Another Suspens in Baltimore. Ba.timors, Sept. 26, 1873, The financial situation here to-day remained un changed until the announcement of the suspension of the house of William Fisher & Sons startied the community, This firm was the most extensive brokers and bankers in gold and stocks in Balti- more and have always enjoyed the fullest confi- dence, It is understood that their suspension is owing to their being involved in carrying largeflines of stocks for their customers which have suffered a heavy depreciation in the panic and thetr inability to realize upon their securities suMcient funds to meet the demand upon them, They state that they only require a itmited tndul- gence, and will pay upin full, When the doors of the house were closed an intense excitement was created, and many rumors of other failures were circulated, all of which turned out to be unfounded, and before the day closed a feeling of reaction set in. Fisher & Sons carried Targe amounts of gold for houses in the South American and West India trade, and their suspension will cause some trouble, especially among the sugar refiners and importers, although no serious loss will ensue. Other branches of business remain quiet, and nothing ts doing There have been as yet no failures in mercantile houses, which may ‘be regarded as a tavorable feature in our situation. The banks continue to pay currency in small amounts, sufictent to meet the current expenses of business, and to-day they recefved irom Washington $285,000 in small notes, which will be used for mercantile acoommodation. The Secretary of the Treasury to-day came to the relief of the Central National Bank. which is a government depositary, by directing that deposits made by internal revenue officers shall be per- mitted to remain for a while, instead of being im- mediately drawn upon from Washington. It 1s Said to-night that oue or two of the State banks must inevitably close up to-morrow; but they are all comparatively small concerns, Mobile Trusting to New York. MOBILE, Ala., Sept. 26, 1873. The Nationai Park Bank of New York will pay all checks drawn by the Mobile Savings Bank on Howes & Macy, of New York. Meeting of Montgomery Merchants. MONTGOMERY, Ala., Sept. 26, 1873, At a large mecting of merchants held here to-day it was resolved to pay ali maturing obligations as promptly as the deranged financial situation would permit, and the banks and bankers holding paper Were requested to obtain an extension, if it should become necessary, and a similar request 1s made of all parties abroad who hold their paper. Resolutions of full faith and confidence in the local banks and institutions were adopted. Cotton has been coming in Jreely, but not a bale has been sold for want of currency, and hence these resolutions. No Pantie in Columbia, §. C. CoLumata, S. C., Sept. 26, 1873.

During the existing dearth ofcurrency the banks will not in future pay out any more currency, ex- cept what ts actually needed for the payment of wages. This resolve was made at the meeting of the Clearing House Association to-day. It was alao resolved that the banks will aid each other under necessary circumstances, and that all will sustain the mercantile, manufacturing and business interests of the city. Currency for the puyment of wages, &c., when called for by an establishment having @n account in more than one bank, will be (urnished in equal proportion by such banks, Aspect of Affairs in Cincinnati. Crnemnatt, Ohio, Sept. 26, 1873, The new bank arrangement acts satisfactorily, as shown at a meeting of the Clearing House As- sociation this afternoon after bank hours, The general opinion appeared to be that matters were working favorably, The bankers all seemed thoroughly in sympathy with the plan adopted, and there 13 manifest a@ cheerful acquiescence in the expressed wish of the majority in relation to all the details of the movemenf. The Association at this meeting adopted a resolution the nature of which was foresnadowed in last night's despatches, This provides that all cur- rency deposited hereafter may be drawn upon at the will of the depositors. This makes for future deposits a different rule trom that applying to old ones, and wiil invite currency from many juarters where it is now lying unused. All securi- ties thus far demanded by the committee In charge of the matter have been forthcoming. The general feeling here to-day is one of satisiaction in rela- tion to the action of the banks, The news from Chicago had a depressing effect on ‘Change, but did uot produce a panicky feeling. There has been but little doing in the neral markets. Things are largely at a standstill. It is almost impossible to negotiate drafts at present, and as a consequence the movement of home prod- ucts is almost suspended. Buyers are indisposed to make purchases and holders have no inclination to throw the stock on the market, which is unpre- pared to receive them. Business men are as Mie ard as possible adapting themselves to the changed circumstances, and the whole slg of the people is to grin and bear the inch anti! confidence shall be restored and tue lockade on commerce relieved. A False Report. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Sept. 26, 1373. The report published by a New York paper stating that the heirs of the late Chief Justice Chase will lose ali of their personal estate by the failure ol Jay Cooke & Co. is pronounced untrue. The bal- ance sheet of the Washington firm is exhibited and a that the estate has been settled and nothing is due. Recommending Relief for Aagusta, Ga. Avausta, Sept. 26, 1873, There is a better feeling here to-day, but strin- gency still continues. There was nothing doing tn the cotton market, The First National Bank will not suspend, Their deposits to-day were nearly equal to the amount checked out. No commer- cial paper was discounted to-day. The suspended banks are perfectly solvent. The Freedmen’s Savings Bank enforced the sixty days’ notice on account of the run on it yesterday. Messrs. John J. Cohen & Sons have partially resumed. They are paying checks of $100. The committee of mer- chants appointed to confer with the directors of the Georgia Railroad and Banking Com- pany recommend the issue of $400,000 in short date bonds tp sums of $100 and $60, In form similar to the seven-thirty $100 notes or bonds at one time Is- sued by" tie government, but bearing only half that rate of interest. When not presented for re- Fd Ap until the expiration of six months, said bonds to be convertibie, at the option of the holder, into greenbacks or national bank notes, upon thirty days’ notice; but when so converted before the expiration of six hg to be converted only at the face. mit The com- a the railroad and bank, and convertible iuto the above-named bonds whenever presented in sums 04 $60.

Sr. Louts, Mo., Sept, 26, 1873. ‘The action of the banks in this city last night seems to be generally approved by the mercantile community, and an improved and comparatively buoyant feeling was manifested this morning; but when the news came that several Chicago banks had closed their doors deep anxtety and apprehen- sion immediately sprang up and business on *Ohange almost eatirely stopped, Many of the regular banks have so far done their ustial bust- ness, paying all checks presented, while others have conformed to the adopted last aignt and paid only small amounts, Iowa Merchants Approve the Action of the Chicago Banks. Curcaco, IL, Sept. 26, 1873, Despatches from the best informed sources, re- ceived at the oilice of the Associated Pross in this clty from most of the principal cities in [linois and lowa, in reference to the present financial troubles in the East, concur in saying that the action of the Chicago banks in following the course vf the New York banks, in suspending payment of large sums of currency. is almost universally sus- tained and commended by bankers and business men as wise and timely and calculated to arrest the panic and pave the way to relief from the present diticuities. The following is a cerrect list of the banks which have suspended in this city :— Unton National Bank, Cooke County National Bank. Second National Bank. Manulacturers' National Bank, National Bank of Commerce. The Excitement in Little Rock. Lirtrs RooK, Ark., Sept 26, 1873, ‘The excitement over the city money and the re- ported suspension of banks at St, Louis and other cities continues here. Everything is at a stand- still.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Sept. 26, 1873, The financial excitement continues, but in a much milder form than heretofore. The Indiana- polis Clearing House, at their meeting this morn- ing, resolved to adopt for two days substantially the same ‘a4 adopted in New York, Chicago and Cincinnati. It is hoped that by that time confidence will be fully restored, The ran still continues on Ritzioger’s Bank by a class of depositors, mostly Germans, and their claims are betng paid in full as fast as presented. No doubt exists as to the ability of the bank to promptly meet all the demands, The Panic in Buffalo Subsiding. Burva.o, N. Y., Sept. 26, 1873, Everything in financial and commercial circles wears a cheerful aspect here to-day. Business men and the citizens generally acted during the monetary panic with the most commendable for- bearance. There was no run on the banks, and the latter accommodated the wants of trade moderate- ly, but suficiently to keep the wheels of business moving. Buifalo can boast of what no other city in the Union of 175,000 inhabitants can—namely, that there was but one single bank failure, and that all the business houses are in good commercial standing; this, too, in one of the greatest grain marts in the world. HAVANA FINANCES. (PPA At ast A New Move to Raise Money for the Spanish Army—Fifty Per Cent of Import Duties to be Paid in Geld— Despatch from Vice Consul General Hall—What is Thought at the Trea- sury Department About It—Condition ef the Bank of Havana. WASHINGTON, Sept, 26, 1873, The following-important decree of the Captain General of Cuba has been received at the state Department trom the United States Vice Consul General at Havana :— First—From the istof October next there shall be collected in Coin the fifty per cent of tue duties payable on all articies of luxury imported into the ports of this territory. Second—The customs administrations of the Eastern Department, which are already collecting the full amount of duties in gold, are excepted irom the foregoing order. Third—The sums in gold collected in this manner shall be assigned to the payment of the army in ‘The Intendency shall dictate the oppor- tune orders for the immediate enforcement of the present measure. ANDIDO PIELTAIN, Dated Havana, Sept, 3, 1873, LEITER FROM VICE CONSUL GBNERAL HALL. Accompanying this decree is the following letter from Henry ©. Hail, Vice Consul General :— UNITED States CONSULATK GENERAL, Havana, Sept. 15, 1873. Hon. J. C. B. Davis, Assistant Secretary of State :— Sin—I have the nonor to transmit herewith a decree of the Captain General of Cuba directing that the import duties on all articles of luxury shall be collected one-half in gold coin on and after the ist of October next. It appears that in the custome ministration of the Eastern Department the full duties on importa are being collected in gold, amounting practi- cally to an increase Of thirty per cent and up- wards over the rates now being collected at Havana and other ports of the Western Depart- ment. No official notification of this measure, that 1 am aware of, has been published. It is to be hoped that the articles of luxury which are to pay this additional duty will be designated before the decree is entorced, thus avoiaing the reclamations that are likely to grow out of it if left uudefined or to the discretion of the customs officials. HENRY ©. HALL, Vice Consul General. WHAT I8 THOUGHT AT THE TREASURY, The Treasury officials are at a loss to know how the discrimination proposed can be carried out without making very much trouble to those ship- ping goods to Cuba. It is construed as a desperate efyort to sustain the army operating against the in- surgents, while at the same time it indicates the de- preciation of paper money. The latest statistics of the business of the Spanish bank of Havana, with acapital of $8,000,000, shows that the emission of bank notes has been at the rate of over $2,000,000 a year since the 30th of June, 1869, when the amount outstanding was $18,663,510, On the 30th of June it was $60,026,365. THE PREMIUM ON GOLD has increased in that time from 101 7-18, the quota- tion of June 30, 1870, to 152, the quotation of June 30, 1873, Exchange on London (sixty days) has aiso increased in premium from twelve per cent, June 30, 1869, to seventy per cent, June 30, 1873.

The dis ease attacks strangers and those acclimated with equal violence. Both members of the firm of Sutherland & Page died yesterday, and both the partners of Munday & Collingd a few days betore. Many of the leading merchants have died, and the whole business character of the community will be changed. James L. Ashton, formerly District Attorney and one of the most popular and brilliant young men in the State, is now dying. Several other promi- nent citizens died last night. The destitution is as fearfl as the disease, Even little children are left without @ friend on earth, and women also, An orphan asylum was opened to-day by the Howard Association, which is providing for the destitute as far as possible, ‘The same ratio of deaths to the population in New Orleans would be 1,000 per day.
