EFFECT ON OUR SECURITIES
ABROAD.

In order to ascertain the probable or actual effect
the suspensions oil Jay Cooke & Co. and Fisk Hatch
Co. would exercise on American securities in
foreign markets, HERALD reporter called at the
offlces Of several OF the European bankers having
branches in this CITY, There seemed to be general
inclination to say nothing about the European
markets or the standing OF our securities. nearly
all the bankers that were called upon stating in
positive terms that they knew nothing OF the quota
tions, and were as anxious to know what was going
on as was the reporter. theirs were too busy and
begged to be excused, while third class spoke Of
how the markets were varying, and of the proba
BILE ultimate result OF all the financial commotion
here In reference to its connection with the Euro
pean markets. Among the last-named class was
Mr. Elliott Of
THE FIRM OF DUNCAN, SHERMAN AND CO.
He said substantially that the financial CON-
motion was local; 1t certainly was felt to greater
or lesser degree all over the country, for the
reason that it made money tight Regarding It's
eect on government securities in foreign markets,
he said there was no danger to be apprehended on
the score Of their depreciatinG for the indications
of to-day showed that governments" were nrmer
than they have been for some days past The
effect the crash had was OF secondary nature.
The crash had created fall In the value OF certain
railroad stocks and bonds, and consequence OF
this was desire the part of English capitalists
TO invest in good American railroad securities
Wnen tney were quoted low.
Mr.. French, the manager Of the New York
branch OF
THE FIRM OF COOKE, M'CULLOCH AND CO.,
was waited upon by the reporter He said that
governments were 1rmer to-day than they had
been Tor some time, with little or variation in
the quotations. In regard to the investment OF
foreign capital In American railroad and other
securities, he made the same statement as Mr..
Elliott, with the addition that as the Gold Room
was closed, 1t was difficult II not impossible, to
buy exchanges on London or any place else. The
money being forthcoming, It was next to impOs-
sible to get the st ocks and bonds and they remain
on the market. In his opinion, II the room were hot
room opened it would be found necessary to import
gold to purchase stocks with.
The reporter also called on Mr.. Morgan of the
nrm OF Drexel, Morgan Co., and on Mr. Brown
OF the firm OF Brown Brothers & Co. They were
unprepared to give.an statement as to how the
European markets were affected, as they had re-
ceived no advices and knew nothing save from
rum0r.

Last evening the inquest in the Webster. Carron
case, In Jersey City, was continued at Brady's
Morgue, before Coroner Reinhardt. About three
weeks ago Carroll and friend, named Sullivan
had been drinking, and in their rambles
they went into saloon kept by q
colored man named Daniel Webster, at the
junction of Third street and Newark avenue. They
were so bolsterous that Webster put them out, and
it is In evidence that Webster followed the two
men out into the street and struck Carroll when
the latter fell Carroll died the following morn

Coroner Keinhardt and deputy who caught him
and brought him back

All the rumors about murder are wholly un-

BALTIMORE, Sept. %, 1873
The efrect Of the financial situation has been less
appaDnt on the street to-day, but has been more
marked In the dulness in trade circles. Although
the feeling here Is that the worst is yet busi
men prefer naction until the skies are clearer
and the future more certain. There was no excite
ment in money institutions and no more than the
ordinary pressure upon banks and bankers. An
attempt TO create scare was made by the an
nOuncement on tne street this morning that the
officers OF the associated banks would hold meet
ing at the Clearing House to consider the situation,
but IL was promptly denied on authority and the
momentary excitement was quoted. There was
no pressure to sell and the demand for money was
slight. High rates prevailed, but those VINO chose
to pay them were able to obtain the funds.

After the lapse Of five days since the commence

Its effect has only been felt here and
in the South by general tightness OF

become more assuring, they readily took UP all
