Gold tookla sodden jump from 189% toi
142 early this morning, declined to 141%,
but closed firm at 141%, with a decided
upward tendency. The• reasons for this
sudden advance are partly speculative,
but our excessive imports ;over exports
come in for a large share, aside from the
fact that about one half =of our national
securities are held abroad, which might;
for some disturbances with Europe,
either financial of political, WI shipped
back, and gold demanded in payment of
our European debts.
Bonds declined somewhat and were
rather weak. hut steady.
Stecke are firm and do notshow any
signs of yielding to a bear speculative
influence. Money quite easy.

(By Telegraph to the - rtttaburgli Gazette.)
The event in financial anti commercial
circles to-day wss the failure of the Ger
) ,
man W
oanng firth of Schepeler - dr, Co.
Their operations were very extensive,
being large- Shippers of petroleum, pro
visions,: dco.: as well as heavy dealers in
gold, staeks 'and bonds. At 'one time
they were the heaviest importers of
petroleum, and their transactions gener
ally, extended into millions, The imme
diate chute of failure was their heavy
sales orgo:fid on spechlative account, to
the linount of probably eight or ten
millions of dollars. In addition a
large amount of their bills of ex
'change have been sold here, which
will have to te returned here and cover
ed by specie shipments or by'other bills
of first chats houses. The firm had ex
tensive credit in London and the - conti
nent, especially In Antwerp, Bremen
and Frankfort. The losses consequent
on this failure are understood to be heavy
and pretty extensively distributed :here,
and the immediate effect was to advance
gold and bonds, unsettle the market and
stiffen foreign exchange. Bankers hold
ing Solopeler's bills were buyers of gold
and bonds to fortify themselves and - others
having contracts with the firm were
compelled to do the same to rectify their
psition on the market." Several other
firma'were at first reported :failed, ;but
all • paid up ...their' sea - before 'three
croloOk. exoepttsko small' brokers' firms,
and the have made provision for, pay
went: 'The effect In Europels . awaited
with ceneldtsraiile" anxiety,. and there
will 'certainly bd an increase& caution
among the brokers here'for some Mite to
come, and if this failure unsettles mat
ters InEurope, it may hasten shipments
Of si)ecie.' Rumors are circulated of the
failure of a London firm' with , liabilitlei
exceeding .£4,000,000,' and an advance of
the Bank of England rates to 5 per cent.
As today waa a legal holiday. in England
there Is probably no truth in the reports:
Money was rather more. active this
afternoon, owing to the shipping of some
loans,ln consequence of the failure above
alluded to and, the fall in stooks. The
:demand was promptly Met, however, at
6@7 on call. Prima discounts at
7@9. Starling ht firm. at 996 93,

The stock market during the morning
was very feverish and unsettled,. with,a
great pressure to sell and a seeming in
clination to panic, in consequence of the
failure of •Schepeler and the disappear
ance of a bioker with a considerable
amount of funds. There was *general
decline of I@2 per cent., from which
there was subsequently a recovery of
@I per cent. Near the close, however,
the market again became feverish and
unsettled, and the prices once more de
clined, closing heavy, especially on rail
