SAFER METHODS IN DOING BUSINESS.

The members of the Consolidated Stock and Petroleum
Exchange congratulate themselves the absence of
failures in their Board in the recent disturbed CON
dition of Wall Street. Their immunity from disaster
is credited Largely TO the Clearing House system which
proyides automatically for loans between members,
thereby lessenIng the pressure for money, and by
reouirlng settlements only once week. which affords
opportunity for Spectators who have misrcad the
market TO change their attitude or to hedge for
safety.s 1t is not impossible that when the excite
menf subsidies entirely there may be renewal of the
agitation which has than once been started in the
Stock Exchange for the adoption OF Clearing House
system.
The failure Of Mills Robson smith, through the

some comment upon the need Of greater precautions

complication developed in the fact that there
weDs two separate motions for receiver OF the bank
One OF these made by Attorney General Tabor, on
behalf Of the people for a receiver to wind up tho
business OF the bank. That was entirely new
suit the papers Of which served upon the officers
Of the bank while they III court yesterday. The
other motion made by ex-Judge f. L. Fancher, on
behalf OF william f. Tcht, T.. L. Hedden and f. H..

who was a stakeholder Of the bank. The whole stock
the bank amounts to S24OoOo. and the Apgar estate
holds the sum OF 100000 Of this stock. Ex-Judge
Fanchers motion was for receiver practically to
dnue the business OF the bank.
A large number OF the depostOrs were represented
by counsel. Some OF them favored the Attorney Gen
erals plan. and the plan put forward by. exJudge
Fancher. They unanimous in agreeing that TO
celver should be appointed. One Of the counsel men
toned f. Ridgway good man for the place, but he
was objected because it alleged that Of the
receivers most important duties was TO prosecute
suits against David r. Paige the Aqucduct contractor
and Mr.. Ridgway, being q former Aqucduct commits

Mr.. Paige.
The arguments lasted an hour and half at the

. ARGUMENTS FOR A RECEIVER.

TWO MOTIONS BEFORE THE SUPREME COURT IN
THE NORTH RIVER BANK CAsE-sTATEMENT
OF THE INSTITUTIONS CONDITIONAL
DEFICIENCY OF ABOUT 100000.
A weeks efforts to save the North River BANK az
Greenwich and Dey sts. ended yesterday In squad
BILE over the appointment OF receiver for the III
stitntion. All hope of rescuing the bank was gwen
up Monday. and the attention OF directors sock-
holders, depositOrs and bank examiners was conceh
trated on the contest for the receiverslp. Many Of
the depositors show tendency to charge
that this has been the end In view
all the while. To substantate this view they
point 10 the entire lack Of harmony In the board OF
directors the last week and the energy developed
in the matter OF rccevership. The dissatisfaction
existing among the depositors is aggravated by the
fact that majority OF them are laboring men ana
small merchants in the immediate vicinity OF the
bank, who can III afford TO lose the accumulated
savings of years which they had deposited In the In
stitution.
The first official statement containing the details

which has been made public contained in the
papers presented to the Supreme Court yesterday

IN FAVOR OF REMITTING THE EXTRA CHARGES.
A meeting of the Clearing House Committee
vas to have been held yesterday to consider the
Extra charge Of IA per cent month. but it was
postponed. The members of the committee are
said to be in favor of rcmitting this charge, which
was simply imposed for the benefit of the associa-
ton. Ii will require, however, q vote OF the
association to cancel it, although the recommended
ton of the executive committee will have great
weight in deciding the question. As the extra
charge accumuates on the certificates in the same
way that the storage charges accumulate on SILVER
bullion certificates, an immediate meeting OF the
Clearing House is not necessary. reduction Oh

From this statement Mr.. Watson said that the de-
falcatons upon the firm amounted to about S362,OoO,
with the possible addition OF the $4,000 of doubtful
