The failure of Jay Cooke & Co., of New York, produces some uneasiness in Hwancial circles, but so far as can be learned the banks and mercantile houses here will not be affected to any considerable extent. Jay Cooke & Co., acted as agents of the First National Gold Bank of San Francisco, and Mr. Cooke and partner, Hugh McCullough, are srock holders and directors in the AngloCalifornia Bank of this city, but no financial embarrassments are expecte trom such connections, as TT TRC BY TELEGRAPH. the London was made that White, Deferitas & Rathbone had suspended; then came the announcement. of Eugene Jackson’s suspension, lately of Polhemus & Jackson; and then came Fisk & Hatch. The noise inthe exchange was now stifled, for, with blanched faces, one looked at another as if to ask when this thing would end. Gold moved up by eighths after having sold at 1.12; and in less than fifteen minutes sold at 1.13, and the course was still upward, Transactions under the rule were the order of the day; and then came the slaughter of values, Prices ran down so fast that they could only be traced with difficulty. Then came other failures; Thomas Reed & Co.. W. H. Warren & Co., and Breeze & Edwards. Indeed the business of the exchange was constantly interrupted by ‘he gavel of the presiding officer calling to order to announce the failures. The scenes of to-day resembled thése of the town creditors, Deferitas and Rathbone say they were unable to reach their customers in the lower part of the town, and their suspension was forced thereby.

Their sasperision was entirely due tu advances madé to the Northern Pacific RB. R., into which it ig said the firm was led by Jay Cooke against the protest of nearly every other member of the house. Advances to this enterprise, it was understood, were fot to exceed $500,000, but Cooke, during the absence of the leading members of the New York house, iit Europe, increased these advantées to $2,000,000, and subsequently to other large amounts, and these ¢émmitments made through ‘the Philadelphia house caused a de+ pression of deposits which necessitated the suspension, The firta hope that they MUSIC STORE.
