Failure OF Several Firms,

New YoRK, September 29-The
excitement TO day in financial circles
exceeds any day yet. At the opening
of the Gold B ard the committee re-
ported that all but about forty state

to SIC a way out OF It's difficulties to-
day. The Beard adjourned till the

ed until u o'el 0ck. No further re-
port has yet been made public.

The FRAUDS IN THE METHODIST
Book CONCERN. - The New York
Post says the irregularities in the
Methodist Book Concern are owing
to the fact that the business has
rapidly grown TO mammoth proper
tions, without any proper system Of
checks having been adopted TO protect
the interests of the ConceFn. Every
thing was done so loosely, each per-
son concerned in the management
having placed implicit confidence in
his associates. DR.. PORTER gave the
bsying Of paper to his son, who is a
paper broker, for the purpose of seeur-
