NEW YORK, May 25.—The Stock Exchange during the torenoon was the scene of intense excitement, and the stock market came nearer to apanic than at any time during the decline of twenty to fifty points in the last eight or ten weeks. The tone of the market yesterday was worse than quotations made it appear, and at the opening ot business to-day the street was prepared tor anything to happen. It was, therefore, the casiest of tasks to knock prices down—no failures having oc- curred or been foreshadowed. The stock mar- ket began to steady a little before noon, and there has since been an upward turn of X@6 per cent, the latter Jersey “Central. There is surprise expressed that in the great decline to-day and fromthe figures of early March not amember of the Stock Ex- change nor any speculator of consequence has failed, Thousands’ of small specus- lators have lost all they had, but there ig not on the whole record of the Stock Enchange so great a fallin prices as has occurred witbin the lust ten weeks unattend- ed with any importang failure.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. MOBERLY, MO., May 25.—There are probably two hundred strangersin the city, but tew of these ure delegates to the convention. A num- ber of candidates for State offices have arrived, and the usual quota of camp tollowers is pres- ent. Partot the St.Joseph delegation came down last night, also delegates for Clinton and Platte counties. Gov. Gratz Brown and about half a dozen otber delegates from St. Louis came inon the train this morning. Large numbers trom both West and East will be here by half past three o’clock this afternoon. The first question every man asks every other man is, ‘‘Whoistbe man to nominate for Presi- dent:’’ Itisatonce evident that thereis no settled conviction in favor of any particular candidate. Thetalk isa gooddeal liké 1t was at the St. Louis Convention in 1876, when everybody was in favor of the strongest man. _A few Tilden men are here, but noneof them favor an attempt to instruct tor him, but want an untrameled delegation sent to Cincin- nati. A leader ot the Tilden meninthe Tenth Coneressional District this morning said he was for Tilden only in the event that some oth- er man than Grant was nominated at Chicago. It is already evident that Tilden’s positive misrepresented. The St. Joseph delegation, fcr instance, which has eighteen members, has been reported to be largely in favor of Tilden, but it turns out that only five at most are so inclined, the remaining thirteen being divided between Seymour, Bayard and Thur- man. Thedelegution is headed by Gov. Wood- son, who is enthusiastic for Seymour, NO IXSTRUCPIONS. If present indications are worth anything it may be stated with perfect safety that the convention Will be strongly opposed to in- structions of any kind. THE HENDRICKS WORKERS. ana, arrived this morning and iS working in- dustriously for Hendricks. C. IH. Piercy; A3- sistant Auditor of Indiana, and Mr. Cooper, Chairman of the Democratic Central Commit- tee ot that State, came on the same train with Mr. Hord, but went on to Kansas. They will, however, proba- bly return here to-morrow. Dr. A. F. Scoby, a leading Republican of Ohio, came up on the train from St. Louis last night on his way out West, and in conversation said if Grant should be nominated, Thuriman could pessibly carry Ohio against him, but Bavard — certainly carry the State overwhelm- in ely. GRANT TO KILL TILDEN. It seems to be the general impression here that the anti-Tilden movement would be much strengthened by Grant’s nomination. THE ORGANIZATION, A movement ison foot to make Gov. Gratz Brown chairmun of the convention to-mor- row. The suggestion of his name in that connection came from the St. Joe delega- tion and meets with general approvul. It is pretty certain that he will be selected forthe place. , DELEGATES AT LARGE. Mr. Danie: Kerwin has been men tioned as a delegate at large, but has pbout concluded he will be satisfied with being a delegate to Cincinnati from the Third District. St. Joe will present Gov. Woodson for delegate at large, and Springfield will pre- sent Col. Jolin O’ Day tor the same position. CANDIDATES MAKING HAY. Candidates for State offices will be present in force—Holliday for Auditor, Noland tor State Treasurer and Parks and Pollock, Secretary of State, are now bere. Hockaday, Crittenden and Marma- duke will be heretbis afternoon. Each has ang ne bara and is represented by an ad- vance guaid ° THE TOWN IN ADEQUATE. When Moberly was selected as the place for the convention, fears were expressed that the citizens of this ambitions little town bad bitten off more than they could chew. This fact is evident to-day. he hotels are already full in an ordinary business way. To-nighbt cots will be placed in rooms and halls. The Roth- well House, which was relied upon to accommodate 200 people, is closed. A banker named Wulfolk had a mortgage for $2,800 upon the hotel, which he foreclosed last Friday. He refused all offers of compiomise, and Erskine, the hotel- keeper, quit the business. The action ofW ulfolk is denounced by the people of Mob- erly in the most unmeasured terios. Saturday nighta row of buildin on the Main street was destroyed by fire, the leading restaurant being of that number. Five build- were burned to the ground,. but such is the ente:prise of the people here that the site of the ruin is to-day covered with new trame buildings, and the’ restanrant will be open for basiness this even- ing. The local reception committee announces accommodations for four hundred persons in pi ivate residences, but even with this the crowd can not be accommodated. They ‘propose, and nothing will be left undone that is possible to make the visitors comfortable. THE WIGWAM built for the convention is well adapted to the urpose.

He is almost certain to go to Cincinnati as a delegate from the ghth Congressional] District or asa delegate at large. r. 8.C. Woodson, of Platte, is slso a candidate for delegate tothe National Con- vention trom the Eighth District. Heis favor- able to Tilden, but does not want to be in- structed. NO INSTRUCTIONS POSSIBLE. It becomes more and more evident that any attemptto have the convention instruct for Tilaen will prove a flat failure. Joe McEn- tile, of St. Louis, says he will not be satisfied with Dan Kirwin being a dele- gate from the Third District tothe Cincinnati Convention, but thathe must be one of the delegates at large and that he finds many people from the interior of the State are of the same opinion. Given Camp- bell is also mentioned as a deleate at large. Cnarley Peer3 now looms up as the only opponent Gratz Brown has for the permanent chairmanship of the convention. The delegation trom Hanni- bz] are just in, and report that they are not com mitted on presidential questions, and are opposed to instructions ot any kind. VIEWS OF PROMINENT MEN. The M.,K.&T. bas just brought in a strong delegation from Howard and Cooper county. Senator Parsons, of Saline county, says that while he believes thereis a preponderating sentiment for Tilden in bis coun- ty, the delegation will oppose in- structions or anything inthe natureot gag law. Senator Robert C. Wilson, ot latte, says that he will oppose any system of instruction, although he believes his delegation is for Tilden. He will refuse to be a delegate to Cincinnati. Sen- ator Tom Parish, of Holt, is opposed to instructions, and goes no further than to Suy that he is tor the strongest man. Senator Andrew Mackey, of Chariton, squarely declares himself against what he culis ‘‘Loganism’’ in politics. He wants the delegation to Cincinnati prepared to vote tor the most available man at the time the convention meets. VEST TO LEAD. Senator Geo. G. Vest passed through St. Louis last night on his way to Kansas City, but will arrive at Moberly at midnight. -once assume the leadership in the anti- Tiiden movement, and it is beheved that with the ‘‘Little Giant’? in the field instructions tor Mr. Tilden wiil bé out ot the question. tENATOR SAM MAYOR of Howard arrived at1:30 utthe head of his delegation, which he claims is _ golid against Tilden. ‘tbe Cooper county dele- gation has just . got in. They came out without instructions, but Sheriff Ben McCullough who leads them says they will not burden the Cincinnati delegates with instruce- tions for any individual. A FEW MORE HARD WORKERS.
