There Is no material change in the financial
situation in this city to-day, and indications
multiply of q speedy return to the normal con-
dition of monetary affairs. The increase Of the
payment Of currency by the associated banks Is
evidenced by yesterdays clearances, which
footed up only Sc, $3.50.
THE NATIONAL METROPOLITAN BANK.
The correspondents of one or two papers have
seen fit to telegraph false statements. calculated
to injure the credit and reputation Of the
staunch old Metropolitan Bank.
To relieve all anxiety Of the public directly
interested, it is gratifying to state that a bank
examiner, and one of the most competent of
the corps, at the urgent solicitation Of the bank
Off Gals was invited to investigate the affairs of
the bank. The result was submitted to the
Controller Of the Currency to-day.
Mr.. Langworthy, Acting Controller OF the
Currency, in the absence of Mr.. Knox, assured
a STAR reporter that the exhibit was a most
gratifying and convincing one of the stability
ofthe bank. Indeed, Mr.. Langworthy stated 4
was one of the best conducted national banks in
the country.
A PROPOSED NEW BANK.
1t is understood that prepar atoms are nearly
completed for the organi ration of q new bank
here to take the business which the First Ma
tional bank and Jay Cooke 8 house have hereto
fore done. The design is to secure the circu-
latiDg notes of the First National. There will
be strong demand for another bank when the
ordinary course of business is resumed.
JAY COOKE AND co.
WHAT Another Creditor Says.
Editor Star 1t is difficult to understand in
whose interests an article was written which
appeared in your paper of yesterday, signed
Creditor" Certainly not in the interest of
Jay Cooke & Co., for they prefer a voluntary
and honorable settlement with their creditors,
paying dollar for dollar. Nor in the interest OF
the creditor, for Jay Cooke & Co. offer terms
which could not be exacted by law. They give
up all their property, including also the dover
invested by each partner in the business of the
firm, and gives full release upon payment OF
fifty per cent. of the liabilities. The firm pre-
sent proposals free from all the yexatious de-
lays and expenses of the law.
any creditor may have at stake, Jay Cooke &
Co. have a greater interest in obtaining a
prompt and honorable release from all liabil-
tiles. This their credit their honor and the
possibility of prompt resumption Of business
demand.
And it cannot be doubted that the member,
of the firm are more competent to reaIiz
promptly and fully upon their assests than any
stranger to their vast financial enterprise can
be.
Let then any creditor, who desires full and
early settlement of his account, willingly acdui-
esce in the honorable proposal OF the firm, and
any creditor who desires the vexatious delays
and privations, technicalities of the law, insist
upon driving the firm into the abyss of bank
ruptcy, from which neither creditor nor debtor
can hope to emerge. ANOTHER CREDITOR.

A PLAGUE-sTRICkEN CITY.

Collins TO Bury the Dead.

MEMPHIS, October 6.-The continued ravage.
of the fever are deplorsble. IL is spreading with
alarming rapidity, and deaths have become 90
numerous that the undertakers have more than
they can do decently to bury the dead. Yester-
day several dead bodies lay for many hour
unattended, from inability TO obtain coffins.
Among the more Ignorant classes much inhu-
mainly Is reported. There Is still great want of
attention to the sick, owing to the lack OF
burses. The city authorities have proved
unequal 10 the emergency although the mayor,
bly, to reduce the suffering, Efforts will be
made to increase the membership of the Howard
Association. A mere thorough examination OF
the infected districts will be attempted, and
efforts will be made to supply medical attendance
and nurses where they are most needed. Nine
teen nurses came from New Orleans yesterday,
dollars have been subscribed by the citizens 60
be used for sanitary purposes, and contributions
are pouring in from all quarters. The mortality
peared. All that are able are
LEAVING THE CITY,
and feeling prevails that the worst is not vet
reached. The mslsdy is true yellow fever OF
the most malignant type, and those upon whom
ii becomes firmly fastened rarely recover. Per
sons here who are familiar with the disease, ex-
press fears for the future, and consider the stu
ton unfsvorable for checking the plague. There
is no present prospect of frost, which has been
earnestly hoped for. All kinds Of business feel
the effects of the scourge. The newspaper Of
fees are short of men, many being sick, while
others have left the city. 1t is estimated that
since the fever first appeared there have been
fully
THREE THOUSAND PEOPLE SICK
with il, of which 800 have died. Scarcely q
house, public or private, above Poplar street is
open, and many stores in other parts OF the city
are closed on account of sickness or death.
Memphis is gradually becoming a chsrnel
house, and where the fever RACES the heaviest
