SAN FRANCISCO, August 20.
California street was quieter in its
aspect this morning, and it is be-
lieved the excitement is over. The
banks anticipate no trouble during
| the day. The death of Ralston forms
the principal topic Of conversation,
and the flags are at half.mast through
out the city. Expressions Of regret
and sympathy for the deceased
banker are heard on all sides.
| Later information tends strongly to
disprove the theory of suicide, and
the statements of attending physicians
90 to show that death resulted from
apoplexy while swimming.
| Yesterday Mr.. Ralston transferred
all his property to Mr.. Sharon, for the
benefit of his creditors, and Mr..
/ Sharon. in receiving the trust,
pledged his honor to stand by his old
friend to the last dollar of his private
! fortune.
At the meeting of the Trustees of
the Bank of California yesterday,
Ralston promised that if the manage
ment were left in his hands, he would
paw dollar for dollar to depositors
and fifty cents on the dollar to stock
holders, but after an exciting discus
sion ii was decided to accept his res.
ignation.
| Considerable difference of opinion
exists among the leading stock ope-
rators as to the effect of the failure
on mining shares when business re-
opens, some claiming it will have
beneficial effect, especially as regards
the bonanza mines, as those control
ling them will now have better facil-
tiles for working them, as the mills
owned by the bank party will prob
ably pass into their hands. Others
take a less hopeful view of the situa-
ton. 1r.
The affairs of the Bank of Califor-
mia have been put into the hands of
an Executive Committee consisting
of VIM. Alvord and Geo. H. How
| ard.
D. O. Mills, president, has not
owned share Of stock for the last
three years. A statement of the con-
dition OF the bank is not yet prepa-
pard, but reliable Information shows
that the liabilities will be upwards
| Of Sl4,OOO,OOO. The reliable assets
are from $7,000,O0O to $S,00O,OOO
The principal stockholders will prob
ably have to be assessed from 40 to
so cents on the dollar to pay flo the
liabilities. Following are the names

It is anticipated that with the re-
opening of the two suspended banks
the Stock Boards will resume bust
ness, and financial affairs again take
the accustomed channels.
There appears to be but little ex-
element on California street. All
the banks are doing their usual
The Bank of California is draped
in mourning, and the Directors are
sitting with closed doors. They are
supposed to be making up state
ment Of the Banks affairs. The
funeral of Mr.. Ralston has been
postponed until Monday, owing to
the position OF his brother, A. J.
Ralston, at Virginia City, and his
consequent inability to get here
sooner. The services will be from
Calvary Church, at II AM. Flags
all over town and from shipping in
the harbor are at half mast.
The feeling in the mercantile COM
munity this morning is very conf
dent. 1t IL believed that next Mon

out failures. A strong disposition is
manifested to help each other.
