FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL Btocks Feverish and Lower—‘“A Noiseless Panic” in Fancy Securities. GOLD FIRM AT 116 7-8. Government and Investment Bonds Steady— Money on Call Loans Stiffening. 7B FOREIGN MARKET IN ERIE EXCITED. Want Strerrt, Wepwxspay, Sept. 15—6 P. M. The stock market to-day was excited and active, fairly illustrating what might be properly termed ‘a Roiseless panic’’ in fancy securities. Lake Shore broke from 53% to 51}<, but improved during the last hour ynd closed at 52%%. Pacifle Mail was next in point of ‘weakness, receding from 36% to 33%, ending at 34. Michigan Central, on small dealings, fell off from 58% to 35%. Northwest common declined from 35% to 4 but recovered to 3834. The preferred sold at 53% a Bb2%. Rock Island went down from 107% to 106\ a 106%. St Paal common sold at 344 a Sha 34. St. Paul preferred at 62 a 62% a GIX a 61%. Ohio and Mississippi fell off from 17% to 16%, closing at the last named price. Western ‘Union was steadily held at 795, a78\ a 78\. Union Pacific sold at 73a 72g; Atlantic and Pacific Tele- graph at 2044. The exceptionally firm stock was Erie, which opened at 18%, advanced to 19, obedient to higher prices in London, subsequently receded to 17%, ‘and closed at 18%;. The cause of this sudden strength is not definitely known, but it is probably due toa Proposition of an anonymous character which has been cabled to President Jewett from certain “bond and Bhare holders,” and will be found published elsewhere. American stockholders in Erie, however, are some- what familiar with paper schemes, and until specific action is taken by the proper authorities they are not Jikely to be misled by this curious and unofficial pro- gramme, which follows so closely the visit and ‘in Bpection” of Sir Eaward Watkin and party. Tho re- ceiver's report will be furnished to-morrow. It will be seen that near the close pf the market there was a general rally in prices. Whether it will continue is a question, but there are Yhose who believe that some stocks have reached bottom and area purchase. It is not a question, how- ever, that the rotten securities which have been the tootballs of the street are fast reaching their proper level, and eventually will suffer the fate of others that are now mere obituary notices of ruined men and dead capital. The news from California is encouraging, but outside of the gold market it is regarded as of little account. Business improves, and the prospects of a resumption of banking business without further draw- back are good. THE SALES TO-DAY amounted to 325,000, which, among active stocks, were flistributed as follows:—New York Central and Hud- yon, 315; Erie, 45,100; Lake Shore, 88,300; North- western, 30,450; do. preferred, 3,300; Rock Island, 2,950; Pacific Mail, 71,400; St, Paul, 5,200; do. pro- Terred, 2,700; Obios, 8,400; Western Union, °48,000; Wabash, 200; Union Pacific, 1,400; C., C. and I.

Money loaned exceptionally at 4 per cent on call, but At the close it was easy at 2% and 3 per cent. Paper is more carefully scrutinized than usual. Concerning the reported failure of a well known sugar firm, the infor- mation at band is not positive, but the indications are Buch as to leave little doubt that unless the house is speedily relieved it will go down. The representatives pf the concern are exceedingly unwilling to afford in- formation, and that which is given by the bank officials with whom they do business ts equally unentertain. ing.

Yesterday there was an excited, and at one timea panicky, feeling on the Stock Exchange, Lake Shore and Pacific Mail suffered most. The fluctuations are recorded elsewhere, It was observable, however, in the late dealings that some strong parties were supporting the market, and it closed considerably higher than the lowest prices. Erie was an exception to the general declining impetus of prices and did not suer from the raid mado onthe other stocks. It it supposed a healthy short interest has been created by the late decline, and it would not be surprising if the controlling spirits induced the little operators to coyer by bidding up their favorites, but the inherent weak- ness of the market is shown by the serious decline in prices under a not extraordinary pressure. President Jewett, of Erie, yesterday received a propo sition from London—which will be found in extensa elsewhere—referring to a plan of reorganization of the company which presents many attractive features, An assessment on the shares, however, will not be as popa- Jar with the holders on this side of the Atlantic as with the solid and practical men who propose a businoss- like solution of Erie difficulties. THE SUGAR HOUSE PATLURE was the general topic of conversation in business circles yesterday. Although the Hxraup reporter refrained from mentioning the firm of William Moller & Sons as being the house involved, their names were on almost every lip in Wall and Broad streets on the opening of business, Their strange denial of trouble when it was known that two pieces of their business paper were under protest in a certain city bank was incomprehen- sible folly. It was openly stated that the City Banw held $47,000 of the discredited paper, but that it was somehow secured. The firm, also, during the day, sent the following note to one of the banks in which they kept an account saying: —“I{ inquiry is made in regard to our house, you may say with all justice that we have met and are meeting all obligations as they ma+ ture,”? NG Giaeand ie all these statements, Messrs, George and William Moller admitted tho firm’s embar- rassment late intheday. A meeting, it was understood, ot the creditors of the: firm was to be held at the office of Grinnell, Minturn & Co., in Wall street, at half-past four o'clock P. M. Attendance at the above place failed to elicit any information. It was rumoy that Mr. Peter Moller, a very wealthy relative of the firm, would come forward and arrange a settloment, and also that the paper heid by the lai igar_ importers would not be pressed to protest, and thus only the small bills and tloating debts would have to be immodiately provided for. Of course no definite facts can be gleaned from this chaotic mass of report, information and contra- diction, and it is left for the intelligent reader to draw conclusions as to the truth and fiction. TOLEDO AND WABASH MEETING. It is officially stated that a meeting of the above com- pany willtake place in Toledo, on October 6, It is stated that some plan of reorganization is also on foot in this unfortunate company, THE QUAKER BROKERS AND NEW YORK STOCKS. As one of the humors of stockbroking in these grave times, the Philadelphians, having only a few hundred milhons of their own fancy securities to take care of, placed on their stock list last. Monday the following speculative fancies of the New York Exchange:—Lake Shore, Erie, Pacific Mail and Western Union. Wo have the Philadelphia stock list of yesterday before us, and 100 shares of Western Union’ was dealt in—the price being 7934—and this sale took place at the same moment it was selling at 79 in this market! THE DIRECT CABLE, B= FLEET-FOOTED MERCURYS IN WALL STREET. Yesterday Wall street, Broad street, Exchange place and the adjacent busy thoroughfares were enlivenod by the advent of probably 100 busy boys in uniform, who were delivering messages from the Direct Cable Com- pany to the merchants, bankers and brokers, These agile messengers were distinguished from their rivals of the Western Union and American District Telegraph messengers by having their caps bound with cloth ofa lemon color, and epaulets of the same distinguishing tint, on which, in black letters, were embroidered the words “Direct United States Cable Company.”” ‘The opposition to the Anglo-American cable is there- fore a factaccomplished, and the new company deserves the thanks of the whole business community, inasmuch as it has already forced ocean telegraph rates down toa point where the cable may be used for family or bust- ness purposes at prices which are not ruinous, The fol- Jowing is the general tariff promulgated :— The name of the place where the message originates is sent free, On messages from Maryland, District of Columbia, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York and all points in New England twenty-five cents, gold, per word. On all messages from pointe other than those above indicated the local telegraph rates will be charged in addition to the above rates. The following cablegram from the company’s office in London was received at their office in this city at one minuto past twelve o'clock yesterday morning Cate Orrice, Loxpox, To Aut Orricen Sept. 15, 187: open Jor traffic, Immediately upon the receipt from London of the announcement of the opening for business of the Direct Cable Company the despatch was sent all over the At Jantic, Pacific and Franklin Telegraph lines in the United States, and the lines of the Dominion Telegraph Company, in’ Canada, The telegram was sent from London at five A. M., Wednesday (Greenwich time), was received in New York at one minute past twelve A. M. (Wednesday), and the receipt of the announcement in San Francisco by the Psi of the Atlantic and Pa- citi office was acknowledged at three minutes past twelve A. M., New York t Tho company business has been inaugurated in a manner that shows a public confidence in the enterprise and augurs well for its fature suc The wires since the opening of business at midnight in this city have been kept in service in the transmission and receipt of business messages.
