NEW YORK, September 1.-THE suspen.

u temporary effect on the Stock ExcNhnge

those violent perturbNtiOns which followed
the suspension Of Duncan, Sherman 4 Co,
At one time their bills on London sold
higher than those OF bankers now ranked
rs prime. The house was originally known
under the style Of SchuChardt & Gebhardt,
but was changed after the death of Mr..
Gebhardt. The cause Of the failure is ut
tributcd to advances to railway projects,
which received staggering blow in the
panic Of 1873. The elder SchuChardt is an
old time gentleman Of integrity, and tO.day
there were general expressions Of sympathy
for him and other members Of the firm.
