SOME APPREHENSION IN THIS CITY,

EFFECT OF THE TROUBLES OF THE CENTRAL
EATIoNAL-REFLECTIONs on BOSTON CREDIT.
The early reports from Boston yesterday were re-
assuring and the little excitement caused on Friday
by the failure of the Pacific National Bank was al
layed bv the better news When il was announced
that the Central National Bank the losses of which
were supposed TO be small, had been obliged
to suspend payment in consequences of It's connec-
ton with the Pacific there no little consterna-
ton. The amount of money involved IN the failure
of the two institutions was not large. but the
dread of still further complications, the limits
of which might not be traced, became very great
The widest rumors were set ahoat in Wall Street,
and the credit of banking institutions, believed to
be among the most substantial IN Boston, was I'M
pugned lightly. There seemed to be no little appre-
hension of further disaster and the condition OF the
stock market became at once excited and sensitive.
Prices rapidly declined from to per cent, and
the depression was general, but part of the loss
was recovered afterward and ut the close there was
a steadicr feeling.
After business hours many brokers admitted that
the alarm was greatly out Of proportion with the
facts There were not few who anticipated
fresh troubles and greater decline in values One
veteran member of the Stock Exchange declared
the disturbance to be the "ul-rn-mutterlng OF the
c-c-coming s-s-Storm" The presidents of many of
the leading Wall Street banks expressed the opinion
that the effect of the Boston troubles had been
greatly magniied; that the condition OF the New;
York banks was good. and that there was no need
of apprchending disaster in any of them. The
later private dispatches received from
Boston were encouraging in tone, and indl-
Gated that the Central Bank would be
carried through its difficulties safely. Officers
of the First National Bank, the New-Iork CORES
pondeni of the Central Bank appeared TO regard the
condition of the Boston bank not alarming, al
though reorganization was deemed inevitable.
The New York bank has still considerable balance
20 the credit of the Central Bank, and It can suffer
no loss from the embarrassment, however great 1t
may provo 10 be. On this account the ohcers OF me
