New YORK, May 9.-The suspicion
grows that the Grant a Ward failure il
much more serious than was at first
suspected. A well known member Of
the Excnanee today said, For four or
five months have heard ramors of the
transactions of Grant 4 Ward. | do
not think $S,0O0,C00 by any means an
extrav tgant estimate of the liabilities
OF the Arm. NV belief ia that they ex-
coed tl0.O00,0O0. When the failure was
announced said il would be the largest
that Wall street ever saw. and / All
more firmly convinced than ever of the
truth of this estimate. What the assets
can be, no one knows, but they are
probably very small, and the disparity
in figures will undoubtedly cause sur
prise" A clerk of Grant a. Ward said
that the amount of liabilities would I'M
doubtedly be very large. They are dis
covering new business every day. Yes,
] knew the names of some persons
caught, bat cannot give them. some
gentlemen are in for $500, DOC, and Others
for still larger sums." VIM. G. Smith,
Steck Exchange member, affirms that
he does not think the statement of
assignees will be ready until the latter
part OF next week, and adds, Il don't
think that the liabilities will
reach $s.000,0OO. although that IL
a matter of which have no
knowledge. The figures are all
gossip, and are, think, extravagantly
large. The railroad companies which
receiv. d loans ON securities which have
beer transferred to other persons are
amply protected and will lose nothing.
The losses will fall chiefly on individuals
who have invested money with the
firm. The business was conducted by
Ward. OF course General Grant and
his son have known of these transac-
tons, but / do not think they we're fully
aware of the large amount involved.
They have been led on by Ward and
will, of course, lose very heavily
Fred Grant was interviewed and said
he was looking for employment. He
had nothing 10 do now, aud 1t would
depend on whether anything was saved
from the wreck whether he went into
business for himself.
The Marine Bank has begun suit
against Ward to recover 100000, the
amount overdraft paid out by the bank
on Wards account. An attachment
has been granted against the house aud
personal propestv of Ward in Brooklyns
aud the Sheriff In in possession OF the
furniture and etfects. A Ward could
not be served with the paper. 10 was
nailed on the front door and excited
curiosity. The deputy made an inven-
tory of the articles IN the house when
the family commenced preparations to
depart. The house 10 eiaborately and
extensively furnished. The Wards have

four weeks ago their only child Was
