GOLD LOWER. Money Stringent—The Foreign Situation Doubtful—Signs and Symptoms. WALL BrEaet 1 Monpay, Nov. 3—6 P. M.§ There have been few pages since the opening ehapters of the panic on which were written more gloom and distrust tnan were observable to-day. Tne prices of stocks were well maintained and no attempt was made by either bulls or bears to dis- turb the quiet of the situation; yet there was everywhere evident a feeling of depression which 4m its power and universality might be almost ignified by the name of instinct, Speculation was limited to transactions between brokers, and to Bhose who have little {aith in the future. Cash Dusiness was done on @ smaller scale than usual Men seemed inclined to weigh PACTS AND PROBABILITIES more than mere rumors, as they usually do. The foreign situation was’ a subject of serious dis- cussion. The advance of Continental rates of dis- count gave rise to doubts and provoked feverish suggestiveness, A report that the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, being unable to draw on Lon- on for more money, had passed its dividend also added to fears which were not aliayed by the sub- sequent announcement that the corporation had e@ucceeded in raising money to make their pay- ments on Wednesday. it was likewise currently reported that the committee of merchants and bankers who went to Boston on Saturday for the purpose of negotiating a settlement with THE OREDITORS OF CLAFLIN & CO., and to make @ pool contributory to the relief of the the firm had not met with the prompt response that was anticipated and that the propositions were still pending; that financial gloom enshrouded the “Athens of America,” and the suspension of ‘work in the mills and factories were adding to the entanglement of the hour and augmenting strin- @ency. Later in the day it was announced that the committee had returned without effecting their object, and an interview witha member of the firm, elsewhere published, would seem to in- dicate the utmost satisfaction with the result. It is reiterated that the firm can “take care of them- welves and if necessary the New York banks will ‘help them.” We trust that it may prove true, yet MN seems A TRIFLE SINGULAR that a “committee” should lave ‘gone to Boston to obtain help and have returned with empty hands, especially in the face of a despatch indited from the house itself to the effect that—We are all rigtt, A pool has been sormed in Boston, Provi- dence and New York to put us through to tne AMOUNt Of $5,000,000." be made on sucha situation that will not come spontaneously to the mind of every reader, But what the country now demands is truth. Financ- fers and capitalists, merchants and manufacturers may indulge in as much dalliance with the pos- sibilities of the hour as they please, but it suould not be forgotton that there are other thousands sepresenting smail MORSELS OF WEALTH who are interested in honest statements, The cou: try desires to know something of the strength of New York banks, but the information is denied. We all want a statement o/ the dduciary capacity | of the metropolis, but there seems to be a timidity in making it public. notin a presentable condition. The fester is running and the new skin not yet formed, T eruption is confined within a singie bandage, and it is not until the Clearing House Association takes ‘eff its clouts that the poor depositor will know the extent of the disease from which he bas suffered or may be recovering. corporation business, tis unwillinguess to tace unfinchingly, like honest men, the broad facts of the hour—to let the weak go to the wall as they @eserve to do—to uphola mere skeletons, around whieh hang RAGS OF FORMER FLESH and strength, that has caused so much of public doubt, and not until we have a lair and honest exhibit of the condition of our banking institutions can we expect anything like a return of public | confidence. While asking for revelations let us also ask forinformation concerning oup ratlway corporations, The public are tired of trand; they have had enough of fancy figures. The earnings of a company are in 4 measure an Indication of the value ofits property. Heretofore the latter has been purely speculative, because its president and directors, living in New York, behind the golden signs of Wall stre With the property they assumed wo control. Fi one weeks in the year they spend on ‘Change, ma- nipalating stocks on AN INFLATED CAPITAL. The other seven days they give to Chicago, Cin- cinnati or Albany and the wheeding of country | stockholders. But there is a chance now to change all this—a chance to get rid of autocracy, tyranoy of cliques and the power of corporations. Af the Stoc! hange will do ite duty, a law may be passed during the week that will compel every railroad, steamship, expresa, mining and telegraph company on its list to render a monthly statement of earnings for the benetit both of members of the Board and of the public at jarge. And in so doing it will establish a basis for more legitimate speculation, Men will then know what they are buying. Men ‘Will Know whether revenues have been absorbed by robbery, or tresh stock put out as collateral for loans to pay interest. Lake Shore and a half dozen of other stocks might not show such @ pleasant face if this rule were applied, nor would the country be | agitated by the artificial rise or deciine of prices ‘hat Is daily wituessed on Wall street as the result Of ignorance a8 to real vaines. The penaity tor re- fusing to make such regular report to a committee Of examination should be dismissal and cxpung- Ang from the cail, THE MONEY MAnupr (was strong to-day, with rates on call ioans ran ing from 1-16 to { per cent per diem. The discount market was duil in cousequence of the uncertainty still attached to the mercantile situation. The Joreign exchanges were in @ demoralized condi- tion, with actual business at a juriher ¢ Prime bankers’ sixty days sterling sold at 1064; 1q 106, and sight 107% to 107%. Commercial vills are dull at 1045 to 105, ne banks are said to have targely gained on legal tenders. THE FORBIGN SITUATION Was contemplated with much interest to-day, be- eause much was expected from it, The public news, however, was pot disturbing. despatches irom Frank/ort and Am&terdam tndi- ated serious complications in the nancial world and. the possibility of @ stringent condition of afairs, resulting from the advance of Continental Dank rates. The measure may be only precaution- ary and responsive to the action of the Bank of England, Consols are reported varely steady and Atwerican securities weaker, the quotations, as compared with Friday last, being M @ 3% per cent jower.

THE GOLD MARKET. Gold was heavier and lower to-day, not, how- ever, in response to any known direct cause. The merchants are not buying any exchange, and, coa- sequently, are not buying any gold. It is said that not a few members of the Board, as welt as outside speculators, are locking up gold at the present low rates, believing that before long there will be a demand for shipment. The price to- day declined from 108% to 10744, but subsequently rallied to 107%, and closed at 1075 The rates for | per cent until Wednesday. | which arrived yescerday, brought $20,000 gold.

A day or two @go deceased arrived at this port from Liverpool on board the steamship Batavia, and being seasick nearly af the way from Liverpool, Mrs. Malach was unable at all times to y ‘ocure or take her rations, and ‘consequently she became very weak and ex- hausted, While being removed from the steamer to Castle Garden Mrs. Malsch died on board the transfer steamer, Dr. Marsh is of the opinion that she died irom heart disease; but the body was re- moved to the Morgue, where he’ will make an ‘autopsy, after which Coroner Young will hotd an inquest.

And to cap the cljmax of the situation a report was industri- 8~—5:30 | Ously circulated late in the day that A. T. Stewart was dead, which was, however, generally received. as the dernier ressort of those who would much Tather have “suspended” him, but finding the. great dry goods King quite too lively a subject to be thus disposed of, were compelled to kill him off en- tirely. So much tor rumors, The Director of the Mint, in his report to the Secretary of the Treasury, brings to light soime facts that may be mentioned bere in connection with the monetary situation, According to the Director of the Mint THE GOLD COINAGE OF THE WORLD is less by $300,000,000 than tne tables accepted as reliable set forth. This mistake, it is explained, has arisen in consequence of the manner in which our Mint reports have heretofore been made, the value of the bars having been counted twice, once as coin actually turned out and once as the actual gold value. There is a point here for the Cconstd- eration of those bullionists who insist that there is no value but a gold vaine. Is the property of the world to suffer a shrinkage of $300,000,000 because of this error, without other reason than the mere discovery of this tact? Mf not, and with the law of | supply and demand antouched in respect to ex- change itis absurd that it should, then where is the sense of the po,:wiar cry, 80 often repeated, of “getting down to tiard pan” as the only solid foundation? And how are we going to do it? Another remark of the Director merits attention in connection with Secretary Richardson's efforts at silyer resumption :— “THE TRADE DOLLAR * of silver authorized by the coinage act is designed especially forexport, and has no fixed value as compared with gold. It may eventually, if the price of silver relatively to goid falls suMicient, to some extent enter into home circulation, but its export valne will always be in excess of the sub sidiary dollar.” Respecting a FINAL RESUMPTION Of specie payments the Director's observations are equally valuable, especially the closing sentence :-— “The increase to the stock of coin in this country has been at a very fair rate since the 1st of April last, and the indications are Uthat although there may be occasional exportations it will gradually goon until an aimount suiiicient to enable the Country to resume specie payment is reached. ‘This much-desired result will depend upon con- ditions which cannot bere be discussed.” THE IMPORTS OF SPECIE at this port during the past week have been as follows :— Oct. 27—Steamer Qce Liverpool—Gold $5,326 Oct vot.
