From the Philadelphia Ledger, Sept. 25.l
The worthy fraternity OF gold gamblers IN New
York yesterday converted Wall street into Bedlam,
whereof first class branch was also set up and put
In full operation Third street In this city, Gold
on Thursday night closed at l43, the premium hav
ing been forced up to that figure from 1877 dur
ing the two previous days. In New York the
.bulls" and ''bears" began operations early yes
what transpiredi We're received in this cntv,
creating corresponding excitement. The gold pre-
mum went up and up till II got above 100, and then
down again to lS3. The news spread rapidly aud
drew crowds to Third street. The brokers' and tele
rushed about in all directions. The premium
jumped wildly up and down as the war swayed
to and fro In New York. and even those astute
gentlemen whose dealings are in gold and stocks
were nonpussed. Inqulrers at times could not
get quotation for gold, because DO one knew to
certainty what the price was. When the excite
ment was at Its height the indicators" refused
to work. These automaton recorders OF the pre-
MUM are operated by telegraph, and although they
are most skllful and admirable means OF instan-
taneousy transmitting the fluctuations in gold, yet
for them to keep pace with it. Boys had therefore
TO be employed to run from the telegraph ONCE TO
one brokers' office after another and cry out the
premium. This added to the Babel. To say that
OF the story. No mass meeting. or Ore, or pO-
litcai .'primary convention" ever exceeded the
exhibition on Third street yesterday. The
brokers could not tell whether they were "long' or
'shOrt;'' whether they had made or lost No one
could trust any one else, and great mob Of staring
people gazed up at the signs and In at the
what 1t all meant. The hurry over the excitement
cooled or somewhat and the afternoon was spent in
cyphering up the mornings gains or losses. Every
one on Third street, OF course had to give
for the wiid speculation, while few denounced the
heartless gamblers who caused the disturbance.
Such denunciatOns however have been made for
many years. and things are getting no better so
fast That people begin to think 1t useless TO protest
against them longer.
