Because of the failure of Lockwood &
Co., Mr. Lockwood and all his colleagues
have placed their entire property in the
possession of J. P. Acker, to whom they
have made an assignment for the benefit
of their creditors. The principal cred
itors of the firm reside in Chicago, Cleve
land and other cities, and are all wealthy
men, embracing such capitalists as A.. M.'
Stone and W. Whitt, of Cleveland. They
have been telegraphed to to come on to
this city, and are expected to arrive in
season for a meeting on Friday, when
the situation of affairs will be,,,more de
veloped. At present the firm are unable
to state their exact condition. It is re
ported on the street that they are credit
ed with holding large amounts of Pacific
Mail, Michigan Southern,orthwe
and St. Paul. Also, that have been
on New York Central for the past twelve
months, but the rumors of the street
must be receivod with great caution.
At the Fifth avenue Hotel last night
there was an excit9d crowd until mid
night. The gekerU feeling was that re
lief was at hand, and that soon men could
again breathe freely. It was generally
thought that the depression of stocks was
due to the stringency in the money mar
ket, produced by the delay in effecting
the clearances in gold and currency ac
counts on Broad street, but there is some
who believe that some of the most prom
inent stocks in the market will not re
cover from their present downfall.;
The Times says the application for an
injunction against the Gold Room selling
Smith, Gould & Martin out under the
rules makes the extraordinary confession
that forty millions of gold were bought
and sold forthe account of the plaintiffs,
Golud & Smith, in a single day.
The Times says that Judge Cordoza, in
granting this injunction restraining the
Gold Exchange from tnsferring its own
rules, has only furnish ra ed another illus
tration of the wicked purposes to which
our Judicial system may be perverted.
There is less excitement in Wall street_
to-day. The Gold Room is in operation,
and transactions are being made with the
understanding that deliveries he on day
of sale. The quotationslof gold are 131.
An injunction has been issued in be
half of Gould dr Martin by Judge Cor
dosa against some thirty different bro
kers, restraining them from carryin
in g
out the contracts gold made for pl
tiff's, except according to the rules of
the Gold Exchange at the time such
contracts were made, or changing the
terms of the contracts. .
Oae "million and three quarters of
gold -were sold out under the rules to
day, on account of Heath & Co., Speyers
dc Co., and Leid, Lee & Conteal. Heath
& Co. state that they have Tour hund
red thousand dollars due from the
Gold Bank, but the injunction prevents
a statement.
LATER.
The excitement of the past week has
given way to comparative quiet, and
business at the Stock Exchange is now
conducted in a more orderly manner.
A large number of gold contracts on last
Friday's business have been private - ly
settled, and the complication incident to
that day's business have been reduced to
a comparatively small compass. A large
number of contracts have been paid, and
it is believed this entire matter would
have been adjusted to-day, had it not
been for the interference of the Courts,
which action is generally and severely
condemned. it appears that under the
present condition of the money market
Smith, Gould. Lit Martin are 'tillable
to take 56,000,000 gold delivered to them
under the suspended settlements, and
are consequently driven to expedients for
postponing a settlement.
Judge Cordga issued an injunction, on
application of Smith, Gould, Martin &
(0., restraining various firms fromcat
rying out any contracts made by them
on behalf of Smith, Gould, Martin &
Co. in any other manner than in strict
conformity to the rules of the New York
Gold Exchange, as they existed at the
time such contracts were made; from
compromising or settling any claims
without the express consent of Smith,
Gould, Martin & Co., and from any ac
tion in the matter except on their order.
It appears the firm allege that the de
fendants, as the plaintiff's agents, made
loans to the amcunt of about 530,000,000
in gold upon security of about 540,000,000
in paper currency, with the understand
ing that no settlement was to be made
for each separate transaction In coin or
currency.; that if the transactions or
the plaintiffs were adjusted through
the Clearing House, then a large
balance would remain in their favor,
while if separately settled, they would
be obliged, in ono day, to raise about
54.0,0J0,000 in paper and gold currency;
that plaintiffs are informed the persons
to whom the gold has been lent, on t
account, by defendants, intend, within a
single day, to demand the return of the
$10,000,000 in currency, the security de
posited for gold loans, instead cf settling
at the Clearing House, as agreed.
The Commercial says: "In order to
facilitate a settlement of Friday's trans•
action in gold, and to obviate the diffi
culty of taking,u p 56,000,000 of gold under
a stringent money market, Smith, Gould
and Martin's broke ff
rs have oered, in
stead of taking up the gold coming to
them, to accept currency at 135 for gold.
and Smith, Gould and Martin offer to
settle 'with their brokers on the same
terms, the difference between- 135
and the actual figure to be set
tled in checks. So far as we can
learn very—few-accept the proposal
It is stated that one firm settled over
54,000,000 of gold transactions this morn
ing in the Stook Exchange.
The action of Gold Exchange in sus
pending by laws 7 and 11 was under dis
cussion, and strongly condemned.
The following amounts of gold were
sold under rule for the firms specified at
the Stock Exchange. These sales, at
present complications of gold, do not no
cessarily imply the failure of the parties:
Albert Shyers, 51,060,009; Win. Reath
& Co., 5250,000; John Pond, 5300,009;
Reid, Leow & Carhart, 5500,600; Pol.
haunts & Jackson, g300:00121... Bales were
also made on account of Lockwood & Co.,
and Daiken & Gillespie.
A great many brokers have protested
against this action, and legal complica
tions aro likely to arise therefrom.
Among the parties protesting were Pols
bamus & Jackson.
After the sales an injUnction was served
on the officers of the Stock Exchange, E.
R. Willard being the plaintiff, restrain
ing them from selling under the - rule
any gold, on account of the parties acting
as agents of Smith, Gould & Martin in
• the transactions of last Friday.
The failure of Lockwook &Co., though
expected to turn out unfavorably to
he
creditors, is not likely to cause much in
jury to the brokers or OW banks, who
appear to have been protected by ample
margins.. The principal weight of losses
is likely to fall on Western capitalists,
who, for the most part, will be able to
bear- them without much- embarrass
ment. As yet no statement of their af
fairs has been prepared, and it is impos
sible to give any estimate of their liabili
ties or of their assets.
The Express says it is estimated that
the dep the reciation in the price of gold and
es dealt in on New
Stocksecuriti Exchange since Thursday last York,
will reach 100.000,000 in currency.
Many men have been reduced from af
fluence to poverty.
The large stock failures of yesterday
have not dragged down any other firms,
but these failures will cause heavy losses
to a large number of people have no
connection with the suspended firms.
The Express announces that Mr. Bige
low has resigned the editorship of the
Times. and Frederick -Hudson, late of
Herald, is to bs managing editor. Other
papers confirm the resignation of Mr.
Bigelow.
