THE JERSEY BANK FAILURE.

STATEMENT OF THE PREsIDENT-THE LA
BIITIEs ABOUT EIGHTY-FIvE THOUSAND
DOLLARS
The doors OF the Union Bank in Jersey City were
not closed yesterday. The President, Mr.. Sand
ford, the cashier and the clerks were busy giving
information to creditors and depositors who
called. The clerks are making out statement OF
the actual condition Of the bank, to be submitted
to the directors and shareholders at their meeting
tomorrow The blame for this sudden collapse
Is thrown upon the preceding administration,
who, 1t, Is charged, took IN . large amount
OF worthless paper. The president gave strong
assurances to the depositors that II they be only
patient they will receive every dollar due
them. The losses Will fall on the stockholders.
Many Of the latter were greatly excited yesterday
and blamed themselves for allowing the former
management to continue SO long IN charge. In
fact, the bank never rallied under the new man.
agement Among the depositors who suffer are
many OF the merchants and dealers in the chief
business portion OF the city. Mr.. SANFORD states
that so TAR as can be estimated at present, the
liabilities Will reach the sum or 1000. The de-
positOrs who called assured him that they would
not take any course which would embarrasS the
bank in Its efforts to retrieve the loss.

THURSDAY Jan. 14-8 p M.
The stock market to-day was generally fever
Ssh. and under strong depressing influences.
Lower prices were In some instances estab-
lished than have been published for many
months Whether these are Obedient TO natural
causes or to the trip-hammer pounding process Of
q few parties who seem to have unnterruptedly
exercised their power over the market for the
past few weeks is q question yet to be deter.
mined ; but it Is not questionable that the present
low figures are beginning to invite those who
possess capital and are inclined to take their
chances Tor an advance 1t Will be dangerous, in
more senses than one.
AN ANALYSIS OF PRICES.
The following will show the changes in princi-
pal stocks Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph opened
at %, advanced to %, and closed at 2S2l. This
was one or the leaders Ofthe day, and subject to
much comment. Western Union, however. was
chief Of the market in point of transactions, and
after opening at 7s1, sold down to 1884, ending at
1871, without much recovery on the open
ing figure. New York Central opened at 1O1H
and ended at 101. Northwestern common
weakened from ASH to A and closed at AK. Pa
cifc Mail huctuated between 347s and 35H, clos
ing at the last named figure. Hannibal and St.
Joseph disappointed some of the parties who
have been recently holding its stock by receding
nearly q per cent. st. Paul common was frm at
37x 374 373s The preferred stock sold at
692s 5oH 595S. Erie sold at 297S 2s%. Union
Pacific at 374 81 a 367s. Lake shore obeyed
certain speculative lnnucnces and retired from
rs to 742S. Atlantic and Pacific preferred sold at
Tx a II. Wabash was comparatively steady at
1875 1875 Tx a Is. c., G. and i. G. ended at
9A, after opening at 9'S. Ohio and Mississippi
lost only e per cent, opening at 81 and closing at
30T. Pacific OF Missouri sold at 51% a SLY a 50%.

MEMORANDA.
The governors OF the Stock Exchange held
meeting to-day, and, 1t is understood proposed
important changes in regard to commissions for
the buying and selling or stocks. They reported a
rule that from and after the LIST of February in.
vestors are to pay 4 OF per cent upon the par
value Of stocks and bonds, instead Of q Of per
cent. as heretofore and ''speculators' If not mem
bers OF the Board, Is of per cent, instead OF 1l6.
The action Of these gentlemen would seem to ndi-
cate two things: first, the extreme poverty of
brokers and the necessity for their protection
through Increased profits. and secondly, that they
have desire to reduce the volume OF speculation
by making 1t more expensive.
The regular monthly meeting OF the Erie Rail-
way directors was held to-day, at their new quar-
ters. foot of Duane street. The Secretary stated
tina: nothing other than routine business was
transacted.

who generally demanded nc. per ID. over the SUBJ

advance OF nc. per Id. on middnng and grades

tailed by the Increased Hrmness Of sellers The
general demand being noticeable from this source.
We noticed some demand for lots IN transit, but
with buyers and sellers considerably apart IN their
views no business was accomplished. Futures
opened with most Of the dealers operating
