New YoAE Sept. 25-The day has been one Of great
uncertainty, but uttle Excitement The crowd In
Wall street to-day Was Aoat entirely composed Of the
" "bcars " IN stocka who eagerly demanded that E1-
change be orencd and still larger number Of ioyes-
tors, who anxious to purchase etocks outright tu
order to 1ay them away. Tho excited crowds which
have lined the adewaks and ornamented the Treasury
Building wero missed to-day. The great event this
morning. and which excited the moRt public atten-
ton, tho announcement the doora Of the Treas-
ury Building TINT the
PURCHASE or bonds HAD BEEN susPENDED.
Yesterday Con. uilhouso had been very busy In
circulating tho Information that $13 in grccn
backs had bcon paid out from the Treasury. To-day
tho astounding fact becAme known that $24 oO0
600 had beon ad out. Some put ii ~ low $40 000
co., but there s the best authority for stating that
about O'Clock on Wednesday night, Gen. Hlhouso
telcgraphcd that he Ind expended very nearly SIS 0oo
600. It has also been discovered that Gen. uhouse
NOT authorized 10 buy bonds to m unlimited ex-
tent. He WAS instructed 10 stop the purchases when
certain contingency Was reached. It is known that
tlis contingency
WAS THE ExrEaDrTuBE OF $150o0,000
Of groenbacks. Very nearly the whole OF this amount
had been gobbel BY the street bY O'Clock, Wednes-
day, and hcnce the announcement that the Treasury
had stopped buying strenuoua eTora have been made
to-day to learn whether this amount part Of tho
~ 900 reserve fund In tho Treasury. Con. Al-
house declines to ray whother It ia OF not, and the
natural Inference Is that it part Of tho $40O0
OO0 reserve.
The1a we're no morn auspenaionB or r,1nots Of aus-
pona1ou, to-day, although thers WAS apparently wido
spread feeling On the street that
GENERAL susrENsIoN OF LARGE BANKING aouaEs
la inevitable, unlcsa Government affords additional
ad OF moro substantial character than It has hitherto
furnished. About o'clock the following private dis
patch waa received from Washington by Wall street
broker:
"secrctay Richardson says 1t would bo good policy

tho following private dispatch received at late hour
eHectnally actlea that.question:
1.-THE Attorney-aen Ind conforoucc With gecro-
tary Mchardson relative to the financial crisis. Tho

From this 1t would appear that tho Secretary cannot
now redeem honda due In 1874.
