P M.-the grand halls of the Fifth Avenue
Hotel are crowded with excited bankers,
brokers, merchants and other business men
discussing the operations Of the day at the
Stock Exchange. Explanations OF the
causes of the crash and what will probably y
be the result of it are varied.
One gentleman says, ''It is the severest
blow yet. it may reach the mercantile
houses and if it does. the financial crash
will be moro serious than in 1857. But
think the merchants will stand together" )"
General Burnside has just come in from
Rhode Island, and have inquired Of him
how the bankers, merchants and manufac.
turers of that State will stand the pressure
His reply is that they will not be injured:
at any rate, he says, the two latter uamed
interests will stand together and will not
stop. He believes the banking institu-
tions OF his State Co be sound, and thinks
they are not ipjurieusly affected by the
Wall street pressure OF to-day. There are .
great many men in the hotel crowd Uho
declare that 'everTthing is going to The
DEVIL" while others, connected With large
silk and wholesale dry goods houses, openly
proclaim it 'good enough for the specula-
tors, but it does not injure the honest mef.
chants" Then sympathetic man reasons
that "it will be terrible during the approach
ing winter for the poor: something ought to
be done for them,- etc.
Tho crowd is not rowdy or even drink
ing one. It is very respectful assembly
Of business men With here and there sn eX-
ception. The long bar is almost deserted.
Ths assembled multitude evidently need
something more supporting than seimula-
ting drinks. II.
