lar OF to-day says: Entire interruption of
communication with all points out of New
York created an uneasy feeling, and brokers
commenced to sell the market down upon the
exhaustion of margins in their hands and their
lnaoi1ty 70 communicate with their customers.

Of the members present this afternoon it was
unanimously resolved 10 suspend trading until
