New York, May 16.—At this time there is every indication of a brisk day. The office of Fisk & Hatch is open for all desiring to consult the firm, but no busi- ness is transacted beycnd receiving claims and fixing a basis of settlement, Fisk said many depositora and other cred- itors expressed entire confidence and no- tified them that their claims would not be pressed. 10:00 a. m.—The gong sounded and the day’s business began at the stock ex- change. There was no the appearance of a flurry on the floor, and although the va- rious pools appear larger than the usual number, offsrs appear equal to the bids. A talk with a few members of the board brought out the fact that they believed there would be higher prices to-day, un- less new failures occurred. No one ex- pressed the opinion that this was possi- ble, but it is impossible yet to predict what the day will bring forth, RIDICULOUS. RUMORS, 10:15 . m.—The clearing house com- mittee have loan certificates ready for stant delivery and express a determina- tion to use them liberally with a view of relievingwithout delay any stringency in the money market, The wild talk about the closing of the stock exchange is treat- ed with ridicule, as no necessity exists for such action, speculation being in no sense panicky. An old member of the board says the dealings are less flurried than on many occasions, when no partic- ularreason exists for excitement. An ofticer of the exchange states he was in- formed by Russell Sage that he would meet every put sent in, but must proceed slowly. DOWN TO BUSIN N Tho street has sattled down to work.

THE OUTLOOK 1N LONDON. Loxnox. May 16.—The opening prices at the stock exchango this morning were somewhat lower than last night. The light relapso was caused by advices yes terday from Now York regarding the fi- nancisl situation, especially by Fisk & Hateh's suspension.

This story may as well be stamped as falso in advance of publica- tion. It isknown the president would not sanction any such thing, and it is not roasonable tosuppwe his friends would do it without consulting him. The proba- bilities are it has been concocted by Blaine’s friends for the purpose of injur- ing Arthur in tho cyes of the people, and of egging him into'a fight for the nomi- nation so that they may have an opportu- nity to abuse him openly.
