ANOTHER "sCENE" AT THE GOLD BOARD
NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-There was a stormy
scene in the gold board to-day, resulting from
the refusal of Trevor and Colgate to comply
with the rules of the Clearing House and to
deposit with the Gold Exchange Bank q certi-
fed check for $500, 900 for the balance due the
bank except in exchange for a similar check
for the balance due them by the bank. They
allege they have had trouble enough with in
functions aud contend that they have a right
to do business in such manner as will secure
them from danger Of loss. The bank finally
agreed to the terms proposed, for to-day, but
announced that hereafter all persons having
dealings with Trevor & Colgate must accent
the risk of settling ex-clearing house. The af-
fair may possibly involve a serious disarrange-
ment to the Clearing House system.

The New York Inderendent says, 1--WE know
the Central Railroad of Iowa is one of the
great and good works of the age. Its Drec-
tors include many of our leading bank presi-
dents and other gentlemen of high character,
who have means enough to build two or three
such roads out of their own pockets, SO that all
its affairs will be ably as well as honestly man
aged. The Central of Iowa will be to that
State what the New York Central is to this,
except that it runs through far richer coun-
try. We therefore recommend the Central
Iowa Bonds, with entire confidence in their
value. Tie truth is, that First Mortgage OF
&c. 900 per mile upon a road running through
such a country cannot be otherwise than safe"
First Mortgage Bonds for so small an amount

Treasurer Spinner being the amount of accrued in
teret on bonds held for the sinking and special funds
there were tortysix bidders aggregating $7315 OOO
almost the largest amount ever bid for.
The Express says the announcement of the bids
naturally created some surprise, and there was a
perfect rush from the Sub Treasury to the gold room.
The brokers for the clique further instructed to
bid wildly for Gold after the Treasury bids were
known. This part of the arrangement was well car
ried out, and the gold roor, for time presented a
scene OF animation and excitement only equalled by
the events of September last. This gold room coup
de etat succeeded admirably, and the price was ruu
to 1891 and considerable amount of Geld was I'M
loaded by the clique. There is some trouble brew
ing abont the Gold Clearing House, and one leading
firm refuses to accept the check of the bank for
greater amount than $500, 900 unless certified.
