The trade movement was still retarded by the
extreme stringency In the money market and the
high rates OF interest The demand for merchan-
disc was moderate; but there was, nevertheless,
little or relaxation from the full prices hitherto
demanded for nearly all kinds of merchantabe
goods. At the Produce Exchange business was
very moderate and confined mostly to immediate
requirements. merchants generally being disin-
clined to make speculative ventures, in view
of the uncertainty regarding the future.
Flour was quiet but steady. The wheat market
was firm, though quiet the limited supply ena-
bling holders to command full prices, notwith-
standing the limited inquiry from both millers and
shippers. Corn ruled drmer under better de-
mand Tor shipment, and better prices were real
lied. Oats were also firm, with a fair inquiry.
WhIskey was firmer under limited receipts and
fair demand. Provisions were still firm with a
good export demand. Cotton lower, and ruled an
kc easier for future. Groceries quiet and steady
Petroleum was nominally lower. Spirits turpentine
ruled 6rmer, while rosin was about steady.

Suspension OF the Firm OF Escher &
CO.-Liabilities, 81, O,OOO-Dull Trade
Tho Cause Assigned-The House At
Zurich Suspcnds First.
Yesterday morning O report was current in and
about Wall street that the well-known silk import
ing house OF fischer 4 Co., having the main neuse
in the city OF Zurich, Switzerland had failed, and
small excitement. in the absence of details OF liza
bilities, was the result.
A representative of this paper was despatched
to the firm In this city, at 473 Broome street. to
ascertain full particulars and II possible, the
assigned for the suspension. The concern is an
OLD one, having been known as Escher 4 co.
for many years, and the senior partner OF the
house having been engaged in the business OF ex-
porting and importing silks for the last twenty
five years. Specially was made by the New York
frm OF importing Lyons, Swiss and German silks.
They enjoyed the sole agency In the United States
for tho sale OF the black silks and Manta velvets
OF Antoine Guinet h Co.. Lyons, ana the deaines
merinos and cotton goods of Fevey Freres 4
Charvet Paris.
The members of the firm have always been ac
counted Opnlent, and in the mercantile agency
books Escher 4 Co. were marked among the
highest in standing. The firm in this city were
but little posted in regard to the disaster on the
other side and were unable, therefore, to furnish
any valuable information A despatch, per cable
was received Oh saturday last announcing that
Escher & Co. had suspended, but stating nothing
relative to the cause or regarding the liabilities
assets. 1t has since been learned that the liabili
ties of the Swiss house Will reach ,25o, 000 The
assets are unknown.
The business in this city has not been interrupted,
and will he carried on by Mr.. w. ii. DeForrest who
has been notified by all the various manufacturers
doing business with the Old establishment to act
| as their agent. Mr.. DeFOrrest has been with the
| house for the last thirteen years, and he will pro-
| coed to dispose Of the goods on hand. In casual
conversation with member OF large dry goods
| and silk firm in this city, the HERALD reporter
learned that many failures are anticipated during
the present month"; owing to the TACT that business
brisk month in the dry goods line, but little Is
expected to be done later in the Spring. II is
positively asserted also that lack OF trade the
main cause Tor the present suspension, contin-
gency that the best OF merchants cannot provide
