parsn. Inclination toward 4 panic;

Of rneasiness Is expressed. The fitm Of
Hoyt; Sprag'ie. y Go. profniae = full
statement ~ tha affairs Of their firm as
SION as it can be prepared. One Of the
partners said this morning that the
affairs o. the Providence house, with
which they were 90 intimately con
nected. are in such q condition that il is
impossible to foretell the result. The
resslt, whatever It might be, remained
entirely ia the hands OF the creditors.
The assets Of the two concerns; he
thought, would exceed the liabilities by
at least eleven million dollars; but, of
cnurse, time was necessary, and it was
in the power of the creditor TO say
whether the extension should or should
not be granted. Up TO the present time
au the creditors had exhibited the most
kind and forbearing spirit. and the
hcpes Of the firm looked toward the re-
sumption and payment in full of all
demands. They had fought as long as
they could, and had succumbed to the
force of circumstances. According to
the resolution Of the clearing house, the
pooling operations of the associated
banks stopped to-day. Different bank
eTs express the opinion that the cessa-
ton of pooling will not affect, very
seriously, any bank, nor interfere
in the slightest degree with any legiti-
mate business. The president Of prom
inent hank said today that the issue of
lean certificates WI eODtinge, but these
could have been largely reduced, he
thought, bat it was deemed advisable TO
keep large number out TO aid business
interests. The largest and best houses
are recklessly talked Of as endangered.
The senior partseE Of one OF the largest
jobhing houses IN TIE city was stopped
on Wall street to-day and asked to deny
that his firm had failed The standing
of no firm saves it now from the triflers
of reputation. A large stockhouse was
attacked il the same way.
