"A very lively time was Ind at the New
York Gold Room Saturday, the occasion being
Mr.. JOrdan's report OF the condition of the Ex-
change Bank. His remarks wore delivered In
vehement manner and intcrspersed with
curses and obscene language. Tho bank, he
said, was willing to lose $500, 900 In order to
compromise the claims of certain creditors,
and he thought that, aftcr such liberal offer,
the brokers ought not start now clearing
house. Should thcy do So, he would consider
them "too Id mean to live.n He referred
to tho generosity OF tho bank in advanc-
Ing S4,00O,000 to the street during the re-
cent pnnlc, an act which, he said, saved
many firms from absolute ruin. Mr. Jordan
thought that on Wednesday he could
make definite statement OF the affairs Of the
bank, and asked that he might be granted
time. The general feeling seems to be in favor
of Mr. Jo' dan, and the impression prevails to
very great extent that If allowed 10 20 on
In his own way, without legal interference, ht
will be able to bring the bank out OF its Diff
culties. A meeting Of the creditors of the
bank was held, and a paper was drawn up, 10
the effect Tint those signing 1t would take no
legal steps towards forcing the bank into bank
ruptcy for ten days. This was signed by al
present, and q committee Of five was appointed
to circulate 1t among the creditors generally
for their signatures. 1t is believed that at
least ninety-fve per cent. of the creditors OF
the bank will sign 1t. During the meeting 1t
Was announced that the injunction against the
bank had been 30 modified as to allow the re-
celver to collect money dne the bank and to
effect settlements In oil cases where he could
do 30 advantageous y for the bank.
