Some excitement was created in Wall street yester- day by the circulation of a rumor to the effect that the Delaware, Lackawanna aod Western Company would probably default on the guaranteed imterest and dividend of tho Morris and Essex road, Under tho influence of this rumor tho stock of both corporations suflored a sharp decline, the Morris and Essex stock, however, belug most affected, falling rapidly from 76 to 66%. The Delaware and Lackawanna stock de- clined from 51104733. Inquiry ot she office of Mr. Samuel Sloan respecting the floating rumors resulted ip obt ng from him an emphatic denial of their truth, Such a report, he said, did not evon have about it the semblance of probability, Tbis contradiction waa communicated to tho sirect shortly aiter noon, and there was w sudden recovery in the attacked stocks, which closed at a considerable advance on their lowest figures, Mr. Sloan also authorized the statement yesterday that only 45,000 tons of coal, instead of the 100,000 tons heretolore announced, would be offered at the coming sale of Wednesday next, The only otber event ol any particular interest w: the reported preparations of Messrs, Kennedy to beg: »rly an effort to resume on a basis of doliar jor dol. ¥ soy thatil their stock held as collateral in some of the banks is not forced on tbe markot they can start with payments of thirty-three aud one-third per cent, and give four, six and twelve months’ notes for the remainder, In the Gold Room it was announced that Mr, Rus- sell A.

Dickie, who died at Bellevue ou Tuesday, seems to have given rise to some doubts as to the cause of death. It is be- lieved that he died trom fear, ior many of the symp- toms of hydrophobia were wanting. Samuel Richard- son, who was bitten by the same cat as Vickie, on the samo day died of tright also, it and not of hydropbobia, Still the fact of the death of the borse bitten by the game cat would indicate that tne bite could pred ce hydropbobia, It appears that the ter the cat bit it was seized with spasms, mus- cular contractions and tropzy. It tore the sides of its stall and died in convulsions. MARRIAGES AND. DEATHS. BIRTH. Martowe.—On March 30, at Homedale, Tho Avenue, Gypsie Hill, Loudon, 8 E., Engiand, the wile of Gorge F.

Watt Street, Waowespay, Aprlisee FM | The breath of war comes steaming bot again from the land of Cossack and Turk, and tho indices are that ‘these nations, after blowing hot and cold for many a day, will como to blows at last. At least this is the interpretation put upon tho telegram which announces the reoall of tho Russian Chargé d’ANaires from Con- staptinople and sketches the purport of Prince Gorts- chokoff’s circular to the Powers. Curiously, the Gold Room was only moderately affected by tho nows, the price of the commodity rising from 1061¢ to 106% and closing up at 106%, Onthe contrary the share mar- ket, particularly in Inter dealings, was strong and ex. cited, with considerable eagerness exhibited to get on tho long sido of the speculation. Whether tho mag- ‘nates of the market have at last wakened up to the belief that a foreign war will conduce to our own prosperity, or whether thoy are aiming solely at one of those periodical and stereotyped ‘twists which Yeavo things at tho end more depressed than ever, it will take a day or two to demonstrate, At tho begin- ning of the day affairs bad anything but a favorable look, Those kill Joys, the coat fancies, like tho firo patrol, were on hand with wet blankets to put out any spark of animation or improvement, Delaware and Lackawanna sold down from 50% to 47%; Delaware and Hudson from 403; to 331;, and Morris and Essex from 76 to 66%. Matters looked black aa Erebus or one of their own coal miners, It shortly camo out that someboay (in doflance of statutes made and enacted against spreading false reports) bad set a story afoot that the mterest and dividends guaranteed to the Morris and Essex rond by Delaware and Lacka- ‘wanna would not bo met by the latter company. The rumor was a plausible one, for jt 1s well known that the lease of the Morris and Essox concern has proved anything but a prize package to tho Delawaro lessee. If we remember rightly something over a million of money has been the cost of last year’s experiment, and the outlook certainly does not promise better results. To be sure Morris ana Hesex can fall back upon Delaware and Lacka- wanna, but the question arises, What has Delawaro ‘and Lackawanna to fall back upon? While tho Board was endeavoring to solve this riddle Mr. President Sloane camo out with a manifesto, emphatically deny- ing the likelihood or probability of any default boing made, as reported, and with it came an immediate change of temper and a steady improvement, whién added six pofhts to the market value of Morris atid Essex and worked the Delawares up to the best figures of the day. The further announcement on the part of the Lackawanna Company that the amount of coal to be offered’at auction on the 25th inst would be restricted to 75,000 tons, instead of 100,000 tous, ag advertised, also tended in a moderate way to add to the improved feoling. Tho incubus of the anthracitofan- cies being thus lifted from off the market the railway and miscellaneous stocks were profiered a chance to rise, which was at once availod of, Lake Shore, Rock Island and Michigan Central were first and foremost in the advance, and added from one to two points to the morning prices, which the rest of the list followed ata respectful but convalescent distance. Western Union warmed up to the work as well, advancing from 56% to 5734. Tt was stated that at the meeting of the Executive Committee to be held to-day the initiative would be taken as to @ further reduction of rates te 15 conts per mossage—in a word, that the rival com- pany would be attacked with its own weapons, At tho time of writing nothing bas been learned concera- ing the matter. The amount of transactiuns, cov: ring the whole list, ran up this morning to over 200,000 shares, and final dealings showed an improvements both in tempor and price, THE SALES TO-DAY.
