A Day of Diro Disaster Attends a Leading Wall 8treet Firm, THEY FAIL FOR A Ko Serious Effect ¥elt on the Stock Exchange—A Daring Operator Draws the Fiem Down - Other Business Matters. MILLION. Heath & Co. Collapse. New Yonx, Oct, ecia to the Brr.) ~Regarding the failure of Heath & Co., and Henry M. Smith to-day, a_prominent broker says, “The effect of the failure is likely to be aquiet ma ket after to<day until the street discovers the extent of the losses, It is elaimed that Henry Smith owes the firm of ‘William Heath & Co. a out £1,000,000, and that the firm owes its customers about the same amount. ITeath & Co's two seats in the New York stock exchange are good for 850,000, 0 that Wall streec louses will lose very little by the failure, Iti more likely to strengthien the hands of the bulls, as Smith's operations have often prevented the market from advancing. It is stated that Smith is also responsible for the” failure of Soutter & Co.,, having owed them about $250,000. 1t is the opinion of a number of people on the strect that Smith's failure was brought about by William H. Vanderbilt, who advanced the market in order to break Smith as & punishment for Smith’s betra; of William "K. Vanderbilt when they w gperating together. It i ‘emtimated eath was short from $0,000 o 100,000 sharcs of stock for Smith’s ount.

The disastrious result of Cornelius’ v into his own hook e body one broke not in and personally and saved the family n Cornelius was pensioned and rlcdgml to keep out of the Wall street gaie, as one of the best known street and Com- t was afterward gossip on the street that all he while Cornellus had been buying Lake Shore W. H. Vanderbilt had been selling. As fast as the money went out of the young man's pockets it went into the purse of the old man. There was talk of trouble for H. M. Smith three months ago when a great advanee had begun in Vanderbilt stocks. Smith steadily denied any embezzlement, but finally was compelled "to go ashore and cover an’enor- aous line of short stock of all kinds at a tremendous loss. He was at one time a artner of Jay Gould in the old firm of Smith ould & Martin, He owns the celebrated Fashion stud farm near Trenton, N. J. He WAS & n.cmlnl partner in the firm of C. J. Hudson & Co., but his failure dves not effect this tirm at all. Henry M. Siith assigned with preferences for wages and salaries. The amount is not stated. It is claimed that Smith owes Heath about a million dollars, and the firm owes about the same amount. Differences to Wall street houses are not likely to amount to over $100,000. It is stated that Smith was also yesponsible for the failure of Soutter & Co., having owed them about $230,000, NEW « YORK, Oct. 2—It was rumored Inst evening that a prominent house was in finan- cial difficultics, and the stories took dennite shape before the opening of the board this ?Il)mln . The statement was that Willian Heath & Co. were likely to fail, aud that o meeting had been held between Gould and Cammack to consider the advisability of as- sisting him over his present diflicuities, but shortly before noon tie announcement was made on ’Change that William Heath & C were unable to meet their obligations, shock is not nearly so great as was mud. Rumor says the house was short 100,- shates of stock, and the failure is gene- rally attsibuted to the inability or unwilling- ness of & promir speenlator—recently re- vorted to be in tinancial trouble—to respoud a demand for additional, margins. ‘The tirm was composed ot William Ieath, Charles E. Quincy and Thomas E. Davis. Heath has been prominent on.
