Panic In wall A,ree,.
SUSPENSION or JAY COOKE CO.. STATE
MENT BY THE FIRM

MENT BY THE FIRM.
From N. Y Evening Post Of last evening
Tbe panic which began in Wall street yes
terday eliminated this morning. RumOrs of
ail Kinds were set ahoat at an early hour, and
tue names of several prominent houses were
mentioned as being in difficulties At one
time rumOr prevailed that one gentleman
who has $500 900 in call loans was embar-
raSsed, but the falsity of tho rumor concern
ing MN was quickly proven. 1t was next re-
ported that great railroad company was in
dltficultieS and the excitement increased But
the STABILITY OF the company was proven by
large Now York and Philadelphia banking
house Offering to buy all its papar, The name
Gf anOther banker was also mentioned but all
rumors OF this kind were quickly proven to be
false,
But the excitement reached its height when
1t came to he whispered that the well-known
house of Jay Cooke Il Go. was greatly embar-
rassed. The rumOr at first was not believed,
but the truth of it was later confirmed by the
reading OF formal notice of the suspension of
the firm in Gold Room at noon.
The immediate result of the announcement
was rapid fall in stocks, and the general i'm
preston seemed to be that other failures were
inevitable. The following are the reasons
given by Mr. FahnStOck, one of the firm Of
Jay Cooke * Co., for the suspension of their
house
lie sIYs that for several weeks the uneasy fee.-
log which prev aleI in e lneetion with new rail-
road schemeI caused a heavy drain upon the d :
poslts both Of their Philadelphia hom.e and the
house in this city. The deposits in both cities
suffered a continual diminuliou, until at the be
ginning OF the present month, their deposits
were lower than at aRv other time during the
ssverest stringency of the money marke last fall
aid this spring. The drain upon the deposits
already b heavy, was still further increased by
recent suspensions, and the demand for money
was incesSant. But il the drain ia this city wa,
severely felt it was felt still more severely il
PailadelPhs. The Philadelphil house wa
Compelled To call upon the New York house io
aid, and large amount Of assistance was render
ell
CnlOlt lnately tie Philadelphia house la,
come under large advances to the Northern Pa
citic Railroad ECompany. These advances, in
volving large sum Of money, prevented In
firm from maintaining the amount Of reserve
which was ordinarily kept by them, and the
were therefore unable to respond to the demand
OF their creditors. For the same reason, the
were unable to return to the New York hons
the advances made them by the latter or TO SUP
ply them with any colla,erals available in thi
city at the present time. Owing to this accum
ulatiOn OF evils, uncovetel advances, aud tn
perpetual dram uloh c.eh deposits, the cas-
