THE FEELING IN WALL STREET.
NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-The feeling il
Wall street this morning was not good
although there was not any apparent in
clination towards panic. The prices oI
stocks were lower, and good deal oiun
easiness was expressed. The firm o.
Hoyt, Sprague & Co. promise full state
ment of tho affairs OF the firm as soon as
1t can be prepared. One Of the partners
said this morning that the affairs OF the
Providence house with which they were
30 intimately connected were in such con,
dition as 10 make 1t impossible to foretell
the result Theresult, whatever II might
be, remained entirely In the. hands OF the
creditors. The assets OF the two concerns
he thought, would exceed their liabilities
by at least $11 900 900, but Of course time
was necessary, and It was in the power ol
the creditors 10 say whether an extension
should or should not be granted. Up to
the present time all the creditors have ex.
hibited q most kind and iorebearing
spirit. The firm looks towards a re.
sumption and the payment In full OF oil
demands upon them. They fought as long
as they could, and had 10 succumb TO the
force Of circumstances.

The Pavonia ferry boats, Delaware and
Erie, collided at about five o'clock this
evening, by the carelessness OF the pilot OF
the Erie. The Delaware was. struck at
the wheelhouse, and sunk. The passen-
gers were taken of by passing tug. No
one was injured.
When the boats reached the middle Of
the river the Erie was headed directly
for the Delaware, striking her amidship
on the larboard side, cutting through the
cabin carrying away the wheel and
| wheel.house with a large section OF the
cabin, The Erie came with such force
that her bow rushed through her cabin
and cut q large hole in the
side Of the Delaware. Panic seized
the passengers, Of whom there were five
hundred on board, many beng ladies and
children. A tow boat with canal boat
| In tow came along side and took the
passengers off the decks Of the boats,
but barely afforded standing room for
them. Many ladies carried lile'preservers
from the ferry boat TIL they reached the
Delaware shore. They were towed TO the
| foot OF Spring street, New York, where
the teams were removed with consider
able difficulty. Among the wagons were
two with United States Express pack
ages tor the West. The Erie Is an iron
boat. It was this boat that ran down the
Yacht Julia, by which accident Commo-
dore Morton was drowned. The ferry
was operated by the Erie Railway Com:
pany. The old and experienced pilot and
employees have been removed, and their
places are filled by men VIGOROUSLY IN
competent, and the result has been. q
series Of accidents Of greater or less I'M
port. The Delaware was damaged TO the
[amount, Of $4,000. ,.-'
