THE PROBABLE EFFECT OF THE LONDON DIS TURBANCE ON THE AMERICAN MARKET?CHEER FUL VIEWS OF THE PROMINENT FOREIGN BANKERS. The recent heavy failures In London have ex cited some alarm in this country, It noing feared that the reaction produced here might cause a re newal of the aad experiences of the last great panic. A. Herald reporter wns detailed to obtain tho views or the prominent foreign banners in New York, who are In a position to know the exact condition of the financial market of London, the causea leading to the proseut failures and the prespects of a further extension of the dlsturo ance. It will be seen from the vinws published below that the opinion* ol tho leading representa tive* of the great foreign banking houses jn New York are decidedly of a cheerlul character. There was only one of the gentlemen who were Inter viewed who gave the lugubrious opinion that there would probably be no panic, "because things were already as bad as they well could be but he was an exception. All the others tnought the American market was qntte strong enough to resist a merely transitory and local disturbance in Europe, and one that, so far as can be Judged from present advices, does not threaten to as sume the formidable proportions ot a "panic." VIEWS OF MR. JOSEPH SELIOMAX. Mr. Joseph Sellgman, the well known German banker, thought that, the effect of the recent fail ures in London wonld scarcely be felt here, lie did not believe that they would ever came a panic in London. There were no ground* lor serious apprehension, as money was at>nndant. Money could easily be procured on goocf securities an J the aspect of things In general was of sn en couraging nature. Tae houses that had failed were unreliable nouses that ought to nave lailed. WBAT MR. JAMES SI. BROWN SAYS. Mr. James M. Brown was also of the opinion that the effect of the failures tn London would be only transitory. The houses that had (alleJ had unaouotedly been heavy losers for tome tune past, and their failure was not to be ascrloeii to gen eral causes likely to produce a panic. Tne con nection between them and tho American market was so Might that ine reaction here would not he noticeable. Mr. Brown gave these opinions witu some qualifications ol uuceitainty. as he iiad reeeive.1 no aovices from London, but ('aid that it a general panic were probable his correspondent would undouoteoiy have notl tied Mm ol tho lact. He was asked wnettier tne withdrawal of money and i?a lodgement in the BanK of England did not indicate a xre.it lack of confidence, ana replied that this was oiwr one of tne usual precautious tanen tn time of disturb ance. MB. JOHN P. MORGAN'S OPINION. Mr. John P. Morgan, of Urcxel. Morgan A Co., thought that tho London crash was only confined to a few houses and dm not amount to a serious p.inic or anything approacaiug to If. He was uua ule to judge or t he causes oi the disturbance owing to the total lack oi advices on tho subject, He scouted the idea that it could producc anv partic ular influence on the New York market, wnose condition ne reg.rded in a lavorable U?nt. Tne operations of tne syndicate would not i>e in any degree affected by these failures unless they should bring about a panic, wnlch was very im probable. VIEWS OF MR. JK<;SE SELIOMAN. Mr. Jesae s?eligmau. a linauaeroi well-known repute, expressed mmseli 'roely and candidly on tne sunjeci. Tne oisturoauces in the 11 on trade ui England, lie said, were undoubtedly owing to the jact that the United Stater had almost wholly ceased to import iron; mat the demand lor rat.a In England nad been reducea to next to nothing, so that me iron mills were standing stiii and the iron Industry generally lu a para yzed condition. American cotton was so low that tit- East ludU bouse* of London coulu not compete wrh me American Importers of cottou. i nese laiiures, instead of weakening American ere lit, would strengthen it. showing as tuey die that monetm v uisiurojiices were not (onhued to America alone, aud tnat Europe was also auilermg i? in nie con; sequences oi over-speculation, Ac. Some or tiij Loudon exchange nouses that nad fatted were of a fraudulent cuaracter, s > that their luilure was rather a bencllt to the J.onuou market than oth erwise. No recnssion of tne linaucial wave would be ielt here. A DISTINGCISBRO KORKIUN BA.NEKR, who repre-euts oue ol the ricaest houses In Eu rope. was the oni* one who e views ?ere rather gloomy. He also thought mat itie disturbance was a local one that would not extend hither, but at the same time expressed the discooraging opinion that no auxietv neeo be leU, as tunics were ?o bad mat tuey (ounl scarcely be ..nv worse, it was almost imiio-<4lble to got more than two or inree per cent interest for money, tne pronis in all itlnosoi legitimate business had dwindled down to notnine, almost. and the Hpecu latrng mania was extending into every rami 11 ca tion of busiuess. He orvdicted tnat tho last tn-u tioaed calamity would beiali the country at the time tne first Atlantic caine was lam, lor he lore, saw a. the time tnat this leicjtrnplilc communica tion wltn Kaiope would ?timui tie speculation to an aiarming degree.

A superabundance oi tuouey was as disastrous as a scarcity, aud tins wasjusttne difficulty now.
