FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL PANIC REPORTED IN VIENNA. An Expected Advance in the Rate of the Bank of England. Is This a Tidal Wave from America ? The Stock Market Quiet and a Trifle Lower— Operators Waiting on Events. THE MONEY MARKET STEADY. Railroad Bonds, Government and State Securities. GOLD FIRM. WALL STREET, } WEDNESDAY, Oct. 29—6 P, M, If reports from Europe were not so discouraging ‘we might fairly expect a more settled and sub- etantial market here. We cannot, however, ignore commercial disturbances abroad and the tender- ess shown by money in all the great financial centres, There has been a@ decline of American securities at London, Amsterdam and Frankfort— that is, If we may believe the cable--and a panic is now raging in Vienna so grave that the govern- ment is represented to have interfered for the pur- Pose of effecting a settlement, In the absence of details it is scarcely worth while to comment on Probabilities, yet we may recall the statements made in the HERALD weeks ago with relerence to the condition in Austria, and the certainty that, sooner or later, the TREMENDOUS INTLATION there existing must eventually find its level in Jiquidation and a farther disruption of the arti- fictal arrangements on which settlements had been for the moment effected, Possibly, the decline of American securities has had something to do with the weakness of the situation there, but as yet ‘We have no evidence of the fact; yet it is never- ‘theless evident, ifthe various telegraphic reports be true, that American securities must suffer, The @ame rule which has been applied here will be applied there. Our government bonds and our old railroad bonds will doubtless be able to STEM THE TIDE of depression; but as soon as it becomes known that in ordinary speculation we have cut down values from ten to forty per cent, reduced watered stock to something like its real worth, sent probes into the heart of all our great corporations, and Ascertained the difference between air and blood, there is not a foreign investor who will not begin to feel as suspicious as his American brother, ana apply the same rule of contraction. It is a natural result. It might have been expected before. Vienna Jeads off, and Vienna with her bank com- Plications may affect every Bourse in Europe, Whatever American security is substantial will stand the test. Whatever is false, inflated or un- naturally sustained, must retire from the front and take A BACK SEAT. The Bank of England may advance its rate to- morrow. Ifso it will be because of signs from the Continent, not from America. There ts not enough of detail by telegraph to indicate what is the exist- ing situation abroad, but it is not diMcult to under- stand that the same rule which applies to the depreciation of every foreign bond, by whatever name it may be known, will embrace our securi- ties, and po-sibly, because of the travail through which we are passing, compel even a greater fall than would otherwise occur. The situation is @ssuming new gravity. When Europe thus responds to America, and the mere locking up of paper currency produces effects that are felt throughout financial Christendom, and we suffer additional losses in gold values abroad—a shrink- age that touches the very soul of our corporation— We may, as a people, well pause and contemplate our folly and our shame. SPRAGUE & CO, Many reports have been in circulation during the day concerning the Rhode Island firm known by theabove name. Their connections are large and their failure would be a calamity, Atabank meet- ing this afternoon in Providence it was stated that “the joint assets of Hoyt, Sprague & Co., and the A, & W. Sprague Manufacturing Compuny were two dollars of assets for every dollar of liabilities, and the fact was confirmed from the books of the concern.” On the other hand, a private telegram atates “the firm have arranged for to-morrow, but Gre still in @ precarjous condition, with a little more hope of going through,” THE MONEY MARKET. The rate which prevailed to-day ranged from 7 percent to 1-32, and closed at the lesser rate, For long sterling, foreign exchange has been weak, but was Ormer for sight. We quote actual Dusiness at 10614 a 10634 for prime bankers’ 60 day sterling and 108 a 10844 for sight, THE UNITED STATES TREASURY, We learn from Washington that $11,000,000 of called bonds now past due remain outstand- ing. The Sub-Treasurer paid out $340,000 today on account of November interest, Making the total paid to date, $1,799,000, The internal revenue receipts to-day were $231,318, The amount of specie received at the Assay Office to-day was $60,000, making a total since October 6 of $1,703,000. The balances in the Treasury Department at the close of business to- day at Washington were as foilows:—Curren- Cy, $2,500,000; coin, $81,500,000; certificates, $27,500,000; outstanding legal tenders, $360,238,000— Qn increase of $288,000 since yesterday. It is said that the debt statement for October will Bot show a considerable reduction, THE GOLD MARKET. The gold market presented no novel features, opening at 108%, declining to 108%, advancing at ® later hour to 108%, and closing at 10834. The rates paid for carrying to-day were 7, 6, 1-32, 264, 1-16 and 7 per cent, gold, the final rate being 3-64 Ber cents su FOREION MARKER, Late cablegrams state that the rate for money at the London Stock Exchange is7 per ceat on government securities, which is the same as the Bank of England rate. Hence tt is expected that the directors of the bank will advance the rate of Miscount at an early day. One hundred and twenty-five thousand doilars in specie was sbipped from Liverpool for New York yester- day by the steamship Calabria, The following are late quotations:—Consols for money, 92% M02; do. for account, 9234 a 92% ; five-twenty bonds of 1865 (ld), 93 a 9334; do, of 1867, 064/ a 06%; ten- forty bonds, 01 a 9134; now fives, 00% a 90% ; Erie Railway shares, 90 930%; New York Central, 73% @ 74 Paris despatches quote rentes at Su, dic, In Frankfort United States _ five- twenties, of 1862, are 07%. In Amsterdam securl, ties are quoted:—Union Pacific first mortgage bonds, 6344; Union Pacific stock, 164; Northwest Preferred, 67%; St. Paul preferred, 48; Erie Batlway shares, 42. RAILROAD BONDS, 4f it were not for outside influences there is no class of securities which would more quickly re- spond ¢o the encouraging phases of the financiai ‘eituation than railroad bonds, They do preserve & atrength, however, that demands the most considerate attention, Capital seeks that which 48 substantial, and in the strength exhibited throughout our past crisis by the old railroad Ponds a confidence has been established which in. vites Investment, Hence the comparatively active business that is recorded {rom day to day.

It exhibited the same irregularity that has been observable for several days, and throughout was weak, variable and with a tendency to lower prices. The report from Vi- enna, the possible complication of Sprague & Co., in Providence, R. I., and the consequent influence upon the dry goods trade of New York, made the market feverish, and at the close the latter pre- sented no mending quality. While in the abstract the bright side of the situation 1s hopeful and suggestive, certain incidents may occur which for the moment will lend to it additional gloom and distrust. And when reports from various sources convey such intelligence as was published this morning it is but natural that tne market in its present tender condition should yleld and be disturbed, It 1s unpleasant to con- template the precarious attitude of any great firm, especially where millions are involved, but at a time like this even rumors are not to be ignored, and we must learn to accept and anticipate the gravest situations. As usual, the chief transac- tions to-day were in Western Union, Lake Shore, New York Central, Rock Island and Wabash. Western Union opened at 5334, a deeline of % per cent as compared with the closing quotation last evening, and recovered to 64%. In the afternoon the price touched 5214, and final sales were at 623%. Lake Shore declined from 64 to 633, rose to 6434, receded to 623g, and closed at 62% a 62%. New York Central sold at 86% a 85% a 8644 a 853% a 85%, and St. Paul common at 28 a 2534.

[ON OF PARTNERSIIIP.—THE COPART. rea uniy Reretocore Known under jhe firm name of Yor! $$ ry THE WORKINGMEN'S DANCER, Reductions in the Rate of Wages by the Railway Companies in New York and Jersey City— Hundreds of Men ODischarged— Where Is This to End “Hundreds of Men Wil! Have to Work for Their Board This Winter.” “A very hard winter’—“‘hundreda of 1a! discharged,” These are expressions which heard everywhere. The fear has become general that thousands of poor workmen will be out of employment just when the severe cold sets im, A HERALD reporter visited yesterday several of the largest railway machine shops, &c., in the oi and in Jersey City, in order to ascertain the state of affairs. ‘The firat shops visited were the Erie workshops, Jersey City. Mr. V. Blackburn, the master me chanic, said that he had received no orders to dis- charge any men, but that his force of work- men would be put on three-quarters time from the ist of November. The Isborera who received only $1 36 a day will not be put Gn three-quarters time, but the men who were paid at the rate of $1 48 per day and over will Men who have thus far been paid the enormous sum of $8 88 per week will only receive $6 66 in the future, and, added Mr. Blackburn, will be glad to get that. They will only work seven hours and a-half—from eight to twelve and from one to half- past four. There are about 1,000 workmen em- ployed in the various machine shops of the Erie Ratlway in Jersey City, 300 in the general machine shop, 400 in the car shop and 250 in the transpore tation department, The new order will affect the majority of the workmen in every department, but the last mechanics are, of course, better paid than the laborers; they get from $2 to $2 88 a day. “How can the laborers live on $1 48 a day, or $8 83 a Week?” the reporter asked. “How can they live on a quarter less?” was Mr. Biackburn’s answer, ‘Hundreds of men will be GLAD TO WORK FOR THEIR BOARD this winter.” “Do you know why the wages have been cut down?! “Well, it’s on account of the panic, of course, bé- cause they lock up the money in New York. There are several other important considerations. By reducing the hours of work the company saves a good deal of gas, which is a very heavy expense indeed. I have heard of the discussion in New York whether @ man can live on $1,200a year. Well, they ought to come over here and live on $6 66a week, The wages, thus far, have been from $6 15 to $17 28 a week; very few got more than that,’” The reporter next visited the ofiice of the Morris and Essex Division of the Delaware and Lacka- wanna Railroad, in Hoboken. Mr, Reasoner, the Superintendent, was not in, but Mr. Bray, the chief clerk, said that 500 men had been dischatged all over the road within the last month, and about 200 in Hoboken alone. ‘At this season of the year,” he said, “we always discharge a great many men, as we cannot do very much on improvements or repairs. I have no doubt that the panic has had @ good deal to do with it.’” “Will the company discharge any more men?’? “No, they won’t discharge any more. We have now just enough men to keep the road ‘above water.’ The wages of the machinists were OUT DOWY TEN PER CENT on the 15th of October, and those of the track laborers were reduced from $1 50 to $1 25 a day.” “How many men are now employed in the com- pany’s shops in Hoboken?’ “About 300. There are about 120 in the car and machine shops and about 180 in the coal docks yet. The track laborers were paid about $40 a imonth, and the machinists from $55 to $90 a month, All these amounts are now reduced ten per cent.’? The reporter conversed with some of the work- men. They said it was very hard, indeed, to live upon such low wages; but money was very scarce, and they supposed that the company would return to the old rates as soon as the effects of the last panic were over. “I hope only that my rent and my 1ood will be cheaper, too,’’ one of them said. lamater’s Iron Works, at the foot of Thirteenth street, North River, EMPLOY SEVEN RUNDRED MEN, Mr. James Miller, the Superintendent, gave 9 statement that was certainly rose-colored under the circumstances, When asked whetuer he had reduced the number of workmen or cat down their Wages, he said, “We have neither discharged any men nor reduced their wages,”’ Mr. Miller stated subsequently that he had heard of no reduction in the wages of machinists in New York city. There had been, how- ever, a reductioi in the number of men employed in some of the machine shops, but not to a very greatextent. He thought this would probably be @ very hard winter for machinists, and that there would probably be a reduction in their wages of from ten to filteen per cent. They themselves did not think of cutting down wages at resent, but it was hard to say what they might do in the future. The eee, was the cause of all this, and he hoped that it would prove only a temporary disturbance.” “Are there many men out of employment?” the reporter asked. “Yes, a great many, and some who have not been out of employment in ten years, There are about 25,000 machinists iu the clty and 6,000 of them are out of work, In the country it is even bpons ae Papas ee half of ha the machinists are out of work. certainly a very glooi state off affairs.’’ yee Mr. James Dart, treasurer of the Glenham Mahu- facturing Company, Glenham, Dutchess county, who was present at the interview, corroborated the statements of Mr. Miller, and in speaking of the suspension of labor in tbe country, said Shai they had to discharge 600 hands since the 1st of October. One hundred and fifty of them went to Binghamton, there to seek employment, but so indignant were the Binghamtonians, who them- selves had no work, that they chased the 150 igno- miniously out of the town. This showed what the panic had done in the country! The Harlem Railroad CY, reduced the rate of wages ten per cent on the 20th of October. The Superintendent said that they employed about 300 men in their shops in Morrisania and other places, The pay ranged from $150 to $350 a eer The company will discharge about 100 men tn Novem. ber. “This reduction,” the Superintendent said, ‘4s in anticipation of hard times this winter.” Mr. Towns Superintendent of the New York Central, said they had also reduced the rate of wages ten per cent and discharged about five per cent of their workmen. They would not dischar; more than 100 men under any circumstances, "It will all depend on the traffic of the road,” he said. “The trafic has thus far not been materially affected by the panic, but if many mills on our road shut up we shall naturally be compelled to dis- charge many of our men."’ The Cigarmakers’ Strike. The strike of the cigarmakers continued yester- day. It is probable that more men will be dise charged on Saturaay by several of the Cuban mane ufacturers. But very few of the men who refused to work for Mora & Co. at the reduced rates have found SUlnoymeae Kae most of them will be sent to other places, The union will hold @ meeting on Saturday to make Ce aA for their depar- ture, One of the manufacturers complained yes- terday of the great scarcity of Havana “wrappers,’? which, he said, was an additional source of embar- Tassment to the trade. It is a significant fact that all the free labor bu- reaus and employment agencies are overrun with applications for work, and they all join in the dole- ful chorus, ‘No work |’? ‘WOMEN’S WRONGS, ———. The Stagnation in Trade—The Working- ‘women’s Wages Cut Down—Sharp Practice by Employers—A Weary Wins ter and Worse Wages, A deputation of umbrella and parasol makers called at the HERALD office last evening to make known the fact that their wages had been re- duced twenty per cent. They stated that the firm of Heiter & Gans, No. 86 Leonard street, had been paying them forty-eight cents per dozen for cotton sun umbrellas, and they tow propose to take twenty per cent. off this small compensation, The women and girls employed in the manufactory ree fused to work on suck terms, and pd ad sixty of the petticoated employées left in y.
