doubt, resume business in short time.
The seekers after gold we're early in the
street in front of the banking house Of j. II.
Lucas Co., where they were soon Joined by
q number of idsrs and curiosty-monyers.-
Those who had deposits in this house were not
over modest in making demand for specie. and
from till nearly IL o'clock the teilers we've
busily employed in paving checks. Nobody
vas sent away without having bis wishes graf
med in this particular, and some Of them, when
| they had received the gold, appeared greatly
at . loss to know what to do with it, BY the
hour OF eleven, every depositor was paid OF
and went of, and then the crowd disappeared.
From that hour until P. NJ, there was no un.
usual excitement on the corner of Main and
Chestnut streets. l#sn e4.5 e5
Another class of depositors were not slow 10
paying their respects to the gentlemen who
manage the German Savings Institution. in the
Merchants Exchange block. There was quite
rush on them, and this was kept up for an
hour or two, when al demand for specie from
affrighted depositors ceased. One OF these in
dividuals, after he had accomplished his pur.
pose in clntching the gold to which he was enti-
tied, seemed to have been struck with the ride.
ulousnoss Of the proceeding, and concluded to.
put it back in the very vaults from which he
had received it.
\. While these things were going on in Main
street, another set Of depositors were paying
their respects to the Boatmen's Saving Institu.
ton, at the corner Of Pine ard Second streets.
For time-say an hour or two-ths young /
gentlemen whose duty il is to honor drafts up |
on this institution, were good deal exercised. |
and the coin passed out pretty freely; but by |
the time they had fairly got their hands in. the |
demand was exhausted, and they had nothing |
unusual to do the balance of the day
Passing up Main street, . few stragglers we're |
noticed in the banking house Of l.. A. Benoist /
u Co., but the serenity of the gentleman who |
manages that concern was not disturbed, and he |
rarely took his hands out Of his pockets.
Still further up the street the estate Savings" |
had no calls for specie from importunats or |
suspicious depOsitors, and discounts were made. |
and the usual business carried on, as IL they |
had no knowledge Of any undue excitement in |
the city. Probably the most distinct intims- |
ton they had Of il, was the opening OF new |
accounts BY depostors, who paid in twenty
seven thousand dollars, the major part of it. il
is presumed, drawn from the vaults Of other
banking houses. A. t4lI
The Bank Of Missouri was not disturbed by
NAL aVSrlN ftnr.n &C. Il
OF the other banking houses on Main street.
All went quietly with them. We have no re.
port OF the newly chartered banks, but pre-
sumo that nothing unusual tsaDspired in their
doors.
So much for yesterdays doings The fever
and desire to break the Bankers and the Banks
and Saving Institutions has, it is believed, ex.
hausted itself, and a return to = more settled
state Of things is confidently expected.
