THE TROUBLE ON WALL STREET
Chicago, Sept. ga Times spel
cial says crowd proceeded to the
office of Smith. Gould, Martin & Co.,
during the Wall street excitement
yesterday, and the active efforts of
the police prevented its being gutted.
The crowd seized Fisk, Jr., and
threatened to hang him, but be was
rescued with 30 other damage than
a black eye, The crowd continued
in the streets at late hour, and the
presence of large body Of police
was necessary to preserve order. The
same special says Secretary Boutwell,
is severely denounced in all strictly
mercantile circles by both republicans
and democrats. His refusal to sell
gold last night, aud selling to day,
after the bears have been forced to
settle, and the market had begun to
decline, is counted good evidence that
be was in the bull clique whose op
erS tions have brought the whole
couotry to a stand still 1t is prob
able the whole matter will be inVesti
gated by the Chamber of Commerce.
1t was proposed to call meeting of
merchants to d1nIunce and demand
his removal, but OTTER couuSels pre-
vailed 1t was noted that waen gold
was at its hight it was impossible to
sell small amount at the quoted
rates. The highest price paid over
the counter was 1924 little was done
over l4S. Another account of the
movement is this: 1t was discovered
that two or three of the members of
the combination which has been
working for a raise secretly sold
gold IN large amounts on speculative
account, thinking that their detection
would thwart the purposes of the re.
mainder of the combination. The
balance saw this, and determined to
punish them, and the rise this fore.
noon was in pursuance of that deter
mination.
A Tribune's special. dated at New
York last night, thinks yesterday
transactions will reach $500, 900, 900. !
Many Of the "bears" refuse to settle,
on the ground that the "bulls" knew
the aclion of the Government, and
had cOnspired with Jay Cooke and |
others having Influence at Washing
ton City. There will be much trouble |
growing out Of this matter, and the
"bears," who request a settlement,
lose standing among gold gamblers
ln the future. A serious feature of
the day is that the losses are not con,
fined to the "bear" side, though it is
probable that the 'bears" are the
heaviest sufferers.
A Tribune special says the corner

Woodward, Jas. Gould, Jas. Fisk,
Jr, Marvin Bros. & Co, Smith,
Gould, Martin 4 Co., and other
prominent operators Smith, Mart
in & Co., suffered very heavily. 1t
is reported they have failed, but their
names were not officially in the gold |
room to-day. Jay Gould and Jas.
Fisk have probably lost heavily, from
having bought largely when gold was
above l5O, and not having sold be,
lore it tunbled to above 1870. Other
failures are reported, but it is impos.
sible to ascertain what houses have
actually fallen.

Barring Bros. telegraphed to Dun

Use $40, 100000 in speculation. The
latter firm obtained that amount from
the Assistant Treasurer, on the
strength of their credit, and used it
for breaking the strength of the 'bulr
clique. There was much confusion
among the brokers, for the reason
that the Gold Exchange Bank was
unable to settle the balances due
from the bank to brokers'. Several
