THE New York Times says the
crash IN stocks Tuesday afternoon has
seriously affected many houses which
escaped the crash in gold last week.
Houses which suffered by The fall in
the gold market, aud were brought
almost to the verge Of ruin, could not
be expected to withstand the double
shock, aud it was expected that yes
terday would reveal the fact that
very large number Of firms have gone
under. If the Gold Exchange Bank
should fail to meet It's obligations, or,
if run should be made on that insti-
tuition. it is expected that the crash
in Wall Street will bs entirely over
