ton in market value. That house conducted al the
financial operations Of the railroad, and the compa-
ny Will lose at least forty thousand dollars by the
suspension. There were rumors In the street about
an over.issue of stock, and other kinds Of modern
fnancieriDg, but they were c0ntradicted on good
authority, and the excitement subsidized. Between
the boards the stock advanced and was in dem and.
The finances Of most Of the western railroad com
pares are miserably managed, and by some Of
these failures which are 80 frequently occurring
may be heavy losers.
It was reported in the street this morning that
private banking house of high standing just out Of
Wall street. was deeply involved with Messrs Wads-
worth Il Sheldon, and considerably embarrassed,
but 1t was officially contradic.ed. A Wall street
bank has become involved to largo amount
with the above named firm by certifying checks in
the absence Of deposits. The failure Of house en-
gagged in the -four trade was reported to-day. 1t
was very respectable, but,not very large, concern
Its Losses have been from advances made.
The refusal Of the American Exchange Bank to
assume the payment Of interest on the bonds Of the
State of Illinois has created some talk in the street.
That bank and its President-David Leavitt-have
received large sums Of money from the treasury Of
Illinois for past services and 1t expected that
the credit Of the State would have BEEN under the
circumstances, protected. We hope the Governor
Of Illinois viii bear in mind the course pursued in
the premises by that institution, and govern himself
accordingly.
