CHICAGO FRIDAY EVE, Sept. 10.
From the Tribune
The decline of gold to 100, and the failure of
another city bank caused quite panic in COM
mercial circles, and produce Of oil kinds ruled
lower and very dull. The business communi-
ty was paraliZed mot knowing how to act, and
transactions were unusually light. Some of our
leading grain operators were entirely out of the
market-and many of them refused to sell un-
less for grecnbacks-they would have nothing

ors as well as shippers stood aloof, Since 1857,
such day has not been known in our city.

ces of 11@13c per bushel, and even at the de
