Duncan, Sherman e. Co.

New YORK, July ga morning paper
says the Trenton Banking Company of Treu-
ton, N. j., which lost 100000 by the Jay
Cooke failure, loses $4,000 by the suspension
of Duncan. Sherman l. Go.
The Tribune says: A responsible officer OF
one Of the largest banks 10 the city stated to a
reporter yesterday that the firm had nearly
800 900 tied up in securities Of the Mobile
and Ohio Railroad Company, of which Dun
can was president and the firm the fiscal agents,
and small amount in the Selma and Gulf
railroad-an incomplete scheme abandoned al
ter the panic Of 1873 1t was understood also,
says the Tribune, that 10 one of their settle
ments Duncan, Sherman & 20. had been
obliged to take 100000 in Alabama State
bonds, which are Low quoted at 35 cents Oh
the dollar
New YORK, July 80 1t appears that
transfers Of real estate have been recorded at
the Registers Office this week on the part of
VIM. Butler Duncan and other members of the
firm to the amount Of million and quarter
of dollars. The deeds just recorded date from
1868 to 1874 The pane of the grantee is
freshly inserted in different handwriting from
the body of the deeds.
New YORK, July 29-The Posts financial
article says there are no new failures, and alto
gether the general tone is that of improve
ment, as is witnessed by the course of prices at
the Stock Exchange and by the decline in gold.
The latter is Immediately due to the advces
from London which report the market buoyaut
for securities and decline 10 the rate for
money. We hear now that Duncan, Sherman
4 Co. were endeavoring to get new capital in
London, and that on Tuesday, 10 the forenoon,
cable came saying that the negotiations had
failed which explains the time of suspension
The talk about the suspension is to. day mostly
III regard to the real estate transfers.
