SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM BIG BROKERAGE FIRM SUSPENDS Failure of A. 0. Brown & Co. of New York Announced. "LIABILITIES ARE HEAVY Concern at One Time Trznsacted the Largest Business in the Country and Had Branches in Many Cities. Effect of the Suspension on the | Stock Market Not as Violent as Had Been Expected. New York, Aug. 26.—A. O. Brown & Co., one of the largest brokerage houses in this city, announced 'their suspension on the stock exchange. The transactions of the firm ih the remarkable stock market of last Sat- urday have been under investigation by thé authorities of the stock ex- change and it was announced that transactions had been made for the firm’s account under the rule which provides that where a firm is unable to deliver stock sold to another broker the purchaser may buy in the stock at the expense of the firm failing to make delivery. At the height of the boom markets of several years ago A. O. Brown & Co. did an enormous business, said to have been larger than any other bro- kerage house at one time. There were five branch offices in this city and many others throughout the country, but after the panic of last fall many of the out of town branches were closed. At the present time, however, the firm had offices in Buffalo, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, Erie, Utica, To- ronto and Patersoa, N. J. The firm was organized in 1902. Its members are A. O, Brown, G. Lee Stout, E. F. Buchanan, Samuel C. Brown and W. Rhea Whitman. A representative of the firm of A. O. Brown & Co. gave sut this statement: Affairs Badly Tangled. “The affairs of the firm are badly . tangled and it was felt necessary to, _ duspend in order- to straighten them " out” ee for A. O. Brown & Co. No statement of assets and liabilities is evailable as yet, but it is presumed that the figures will be very large, as the firm is generally supposed to have had a heavy interest in the market. The effect of the suspension upon the stock market was not so violent as anticipated by those who knew how large an amount -of stocks A. O. Brown & Co. owed: to other firms. "he volume of trading increased rap- 1dly, but prices vacillated and there was no general movement in either direction. Houses to whom the sus- pended firm had failed to deliver stocks 80ld were left short of stocks to fill their own contracts and the buying in of such stocks to satisfy their contracts ordinarily would cause an advance in prices. In this case there was apparently considerable selling of stocks becausé of the un- usual occurrences of the past few days and the uncertainty as to what . might be involved in the suspension.
