A HEAVY MERCANTILE SUIT.

Mercantile circles were startled yesterday by
rumors 10 the effect that suits had been begun against
Phelps Dodge Co., the great metal dealers Of Clfst,
to recover over 100000 alleged to be due on large I'm
portatons Of metal which had been underyaued their
passage through the Customhouse aud upon which less
duty was paid than was required by law.
Inquiry revealed the fact that civil proceedings had
been begun the United States Courts against Messrs
Phelps. Dodge CO. for sums of money alleged 10 be
due TO the Government on account OF heavy mporta-
tons which said to have been nvOiced at less than
their real value oapias had been Dec 80 by
the United States Courts, and the claimed was
NOOOOOO. Few additional facts from official
could be fgeaned as the officials Of the DstretAttor
ney's Office uncommunicative, also the
enue officers engaged in working up the case.
1t was ascerained however that the proceedings
instgated by persons who had retained David Dudley
Field counsel, and Informed him and his associate
counsel, Col. Ethan Aen that they had cerainy nfOr
nation, which, they claimed, implicated Messrs.
Phelps Dodge Co in underyalueing their invoices OF
merchandise. BY the advice Of these gentlemen the in
formants placed themselves in communication with the
revenue officials. 1t Is expected that settlement win
be effected between the Government and the to-day.
