The Ketchum defalcation has ceased to be an

predicted two days ago that the suspension Of Kechum
Son Co. was but the beginnings that before tho close
of this week score of the strongest and Oldest houses
in the street would be compelled to stop payments that
the panic and crisis Of 1857 would be repeated; and
that all who wished be should invest Whatever
they had in gold, and lie falow until the commerciai
storm swept over the land These somber Vaccinations
fortunately are not to be fulfilled judging from present
appearances.
THE PANIC OVER.
The panic in monetary and stock circles is entirely
over and Walst has assumed its natural appearance
and tone to great extent.
UyFoUNDED RUMoRs
There were some rumors yesterday Of failures and
suspensions but they without foundations and as
the furry has passed. there is little to apprehend
further tumbling Of the financial bricks Capitalists
are unloosng their pursestrngs little. and the banks
are far more willing to loan than they were even on
Thursday. They scrutinize paper very closely, how
ever and viii not take any that they do not regard a.
good beyond any contingency.
THE STREET RECOVERING ITS TONE.
In day or two Wall.st will be whirlDg and boiling
and seehng again in the furnace Of speculation as II
nothing had ever happened and the escapades Of Num-
ford and jenkins and Ketchum will be entirely forgot
ten Wast is very excitable but it is very elastic,
too and 10 sensation can continue such beyond very
brief while.
Every habtue Of the quarter is too much occupied
with himself and his affairs to permit those OF 9TH
ers TO trouble him. The losses today only stimulate
the energy and augment the holiness of losers tOmor
row. and whatever the unsettled feeling and the indigo
hue of things generally. men can always be found who
will take risks at percentage.
Walst is the abode OF gamblers large scale, and
wherever money to be made or hoped for they will be
found Nothing quenches what Virgil calls the ssri
sacra flames between Broadway and Hanover-square.
and nothing win save the letting in Of the Atlantic
upon the vast horde Of money-changers

HIS COOL IMPUDENCE.
We have heard Of Of the young mans attempts to
borrow o. 900 600 on his check about fortnight
ago The cashier of the bank to which he applied told
him he could have the money; but when the cheek was
shown It was uncertied and the officer refused to re-
ceiye IL on that account. Ketchum pretended to be
highly indignant the lack of confidence displayed by
the cashier and asked him II he doubted the credit Of
Ketchum Son Co., with supercilious air and adash
Of angry sarcasm in his voice.
