THE FEELING IN TIE CITY
SAN Francisco, Aug. 80.

SAN Francisco, Aug. 80.
The Merchants Exchange Bank does
not open this morning in accordance
with the almost positive assurance O.
the Secretary given Yesterday. 1t may
possibly do SO during the day, but !
will depend on the success of negotia
tons now pending. The officials arr
apparently somewhat less confident o
resumption than yesterday, but say
that any delay will he merely tempo
rary. The National Gold Bank anC
Trust Company is still closed, and are
unable to say when they will resume
but say the outlook is favorable.
TIE deed OF Ralston to Sharon con.
veys all his property, real and person.
al, wherever found, in absolute own
ership, with the right to dispose of the
same on suclfterms and prices a. he
deems best, and to apply the same, and
the proceeds thereof and of the prop
erty hereby conveyed, to such pur-
poses end uses as the said VIM. Sharon
may in his judgment deem best for our
joint and several interests.
The Board of Supervisors yesterday
met with closed doors. 1t transpires
that a heated discussion arose and the
policy Of taking no action with regard
to resolutions in memory of Ralston
was adopted with only one dissenting
vote. A majority of the Board signi-
fed their intention of attending the fu-
neral in private capacities.
Business will be, to a great extent,
suspended during the funeral to-day.
A prominent banker reports that the
immediate cause of the demand by the
Directors of the Bank of California for
Ralston's~ resignation was the discovery
by the directors. during the investiga-
ton, of a lot of bills receivable from
irresponsible parties a%ggregating in the
neighborhood of a million dollars with
no collaterals. 1t was also reported il
vas the intention OF the directors to
have subsequently called Ralston into
their councils to avail themselvs OF his
intimate knowledge Of tho business of
the bank.
Rumors are afloat this morning Of
attachments issued against the Bank
of California, but reference to the rec
ords shows nothing of the kind as yet.
1t is reported that some heavy stock
brokers and others who have borrowed
large sums, in n case amounting to
half a millions dollars. for the benefit
of the Bank of California, securing
their own bills payable with stock Of
the bank, are likely to become heavily
involved. The stock of the bank can
not be given away at present.
Collection day thus far is progress
ing with mutual feeling of accommo-
dation among business men. but it Is
difficult to ascertain how matters will
stand before evening.
The funeral services Of Ralston are
hafnw hAIl - If-, D-tx
terrain Church, on the corner of Geary
and Powell streets. The obituary SER
vices are being conducted by Rev.
John Hemphill. The National Guard
is largely represented, as are also
many civic and benevolertassociations
and officers and employees OF various
manufacturing enterprises, co-operat-
i've, educational and business bodies,
and an immense concours Of citizens.
The flags OF the city are at half mast
and many of the business houses are
closed.
There lisa flutter among d~istilleries
and revenue agents here in conse-
quence of the presence of Special Rev
enue Agent Clark, who is examining
into affairs on this coast. On Saturday
evening the Deputy Revenue Collector
at Antioch, Contra Costa county, seized
Yost's distillery and 10000 gallons of
spirits, valued at $50 900, on a charge
of the Illicit manufacturing OF whisky.
Half a million dollars was trans
ferred by the Treasury to-day in some
banks additional to the amounts pre-
viously reported, but it is not stated
to what banks it has gone.
