FINANCIER FOX'S FAILURE, Recent Big Bank Closing in the Black Hills Country. PECULIARITY OF PECULATION. “Iron HII's" Career and Present Btat General Sturgis Invests— Foreign Share Holders — "W Oats," Drapwoon, Dak., Feb, 28 —[Corre- spondence of the Bee.J—The question of absorbing interest now is, “Can the new Deadwood Mining Stock exchange bull the market more than the recent bank wlures, and the mampulations of Casn ier Fox can depress i A hopeful fea ture for sliarcholders is that that gentle- man is out of the market. He certainly was no Mascott at any time. His dump of Iron hill stock last fall so demoralized everything that it was only a few days ago thut stocks began to rally; and just as the new exchange opened hopefully, down went his bank with about §200,000 of deposits, But Fox is no Jonger a factor in specu- lation or business, It is said that he is as complete a wreck, physieally, n and moraily, as the Mercha i« financially, He stands, or sits, o hag- gard watchman over the closed vaults, waiting for the bank examiner to come from Washington, waiting for his senior and relative, Stebbins, to come to the rescue, Stebbing done nothing ex- cept to telégraph his willingness to put up $30,000 to resume, if the public will put up enough more and gnarantee con- tinuous depositors enough and be real good to the banks, to insure solvency and restore lost confider But there is no business future for eit Stebbins or Fox in the “Hills.” The prime causes for the failures are speculation, mcom- petency and abuse of trusts. The prec itating cause, perhaps, was Fox's break- ing the stock mar| but the decline of the concerns ln-gun long before that. The truth now seems to be tha v for so extensiy and perplexing respon eibilities as managing a_chmn of banks mining country. Before Stebbins, ative, took him up his tinancial ex- " ce, I am told, was such as he could acquire in |>uhlluuz sewing machines. crybody—-except . Stebbins—sees it now; the sagacious and well mmformed saw it months ago. They saw it when Fox's manners drove away friends and customers; when large loans on inade- quate sceurities were made to favorities; when he began to specul in stocks; when whispers of use of coilaterals, a la Ferdinand Ward, and ugly (]L\lllhlll"L\ of one or two suits at law to recover per- sonal doposits were heard; and when it was said that Fox was stimulating to stand the strain of so much responsibil- ity. One incident, of x that are now at Inst freely talked, m tration: Lust summer, when lant uml ~||upl est old soldie S WAS RETIR av nlul h-lt the Fort Meade com- placed an order with Fox to purchase a thousand shares of Iron Hill, the then price being $6. Fox expra ed a8 to his ability to obtain the stock but pronused to do his 0x reported the order nul hlh-(l in his letters to Gen. erel Sturgis. who had left the ‘*Hills. Meanwhile the price of Iron Hill steadily dechnmng. 1t ran -\lumi thus until Gen Sturgis returned to De: wood to find Iron Hill down' to near a dollar He countermanded his order and was told by Fox that the stock had been purchased for his account ac $6 and the 1,000 shares were tendered him, The date at which the $6,000 was drawn from the secretary’s account in Chicago showed that the sum would have bought two or shares, instead of one thousand, in open market; indeed, cir- cumstances indicate that the transfor of stock was not made until the minute that General Sturgis appeared to COUNTERMAND THE ORDER. The matter scems more affecting because the money was a trust belonging to the randchildren of the jold soldier, a fact that Lwm told Fox was apprised of in advance. In another sinlar case, that of Mr. Holden, the cattle man, restiution was compelled from Fox; but the veteran was too sensitive and humiliated to go into court with the matter. It is gener- ally believed now that Fox's break of the stock market was to the totter- i \u\uks, but the manner of his mad- s had little method of remedy m it. There was a great boom 1n minning shares last spring. Iron Hill, the favor- ite, went above $7 and the entire list sonred. Everybody went along. New companies multiplied, some of them based on a prospect hole and a stock cer- tificate. Miners, merchants,washwomen navvies took hold; the very editors and printers who had struck off certificates at a cent apicce vaid dollars for them—a stamp and signature huug added, A lo- cal reporter told me that “'he had a trunk full of souvenirs of the boom.” THEN CAME A REACTION. Iron Hill went down slowly to #5. Every- body tried to brace the market; to be a bull'then was as much a patriotic duty as it was in '61 to stand by the Union. While everybody else was wi usl.lmfi to keep his courage up and urging everybody else not to sell, Fox, treasurer of " the Iron Hill company, umwnrenl on the steps of his vank offering large blocks of the stock at 21, It was uselesss to boost when the icers of the company were cutting the legs from under their own property, It was A meat-axe blow throufil\ a strained and inflated balloon. Everything went to the ‘‘demnition bow-wow fi'un Hil! came down hf the run to about fifty cents. Oraers from outside stopped short as grandfather’s elock; and as for home capitalists, they were loaded to the gnards already with stocks—so there was no one to unload unon. Shares could not be hypothecated for loans. By common consent and common neces ity forcible collections of debts were suspended; assessment for work on min- ing properties were discontinued and sales of stocks delinquent on assessments already levied were waived in the case of home delinquents, WITH FOREIGN SHAREHOLDERS it was sometimes different, however, I know a case where an assessment was levied by the local directors on a stock largely heid outside. When the outside stockholders had paid in advance of date of delinquency, another meeting of the resident directors was held and the as- sessment declared off; but no effort on the part of those who had paid could ever secure a return for their money. In one cuse the reputable officers of the com- pany pleaded ‘inability to return an as- sessment of £6.25. Across the romantic canyon that is the portal to Deadwood might have been written, “The dollar that enters here leaves hopé behind!" But these camps are filled with men who have considerable money and more “sand.” The mines furnish a constant source of wealth, mnl rally from misfor- tune comes quickly. eady the effects of the bauk Iullurus are discounted, save by the miners and laborers who had $50,000 in the Central City branch. Men take the matter philosophically, and even think charitably of Cashier Fox. But one can read in the operations of the exchange THE MINGLED SJGNS OF PLUCK, hopefulness and straightened finances. There is only one side to the speculation THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: as yet, and the transactions are small. Evérbody is a bull. - There 1s absolutely no short’interest, and no ds ‘nlmq in fu- tures at all. All'day and every day they try to boost each other's stocks, while the crowd of speculators, each fingering the little bundle of certificates next his hes the black-board. offering in each is carel lu\l‘y auged by the ! one or two hundred shares of any stock worth over a dollar seems to be the limit of the game; while stocks that are rated at one or two cents are boldly flung out in thousand-share blocks. The vet ran broker of the Hills said to- *“I'here is <o little money that we have to deal according to our pile, at present.” 11 are unanimous in predicting another big stock boom inside of six weeks—with that optimism thatis so characteristic of mining communitics. Wh; houldn't they prediet and work for it? The influ- ences against them are the undeveloped condition of most of the properties rep- 'nted by stock certificates and the scarcity of money. uly there is complaint of wild- s being listed by the exchang, And whence is the money to come to let all the hold- ers unload at a profi Twicenor, of the ey Real Estate Transfers.

There is perhaps no stationary thing that hears more of the steady buzz of human con- versation on all known subjects than the Hotel Register. The Register says: *1 heard two gentlemen in conversation here last night and one of them was lawyer. Perhaps the other was, too. ¢ lawyer says: ‘I had a case this morn- ing; my client was rich; first time he was arrested, and he was furious with %n.mun and vowed he would spend ndreds of dollars, The charge was a tecimical violation of the sanitary law. He was guilty, however. In my argu- ment I contended for his innocence. ~If this court dovs not do my client justice, there is another court that will {uman naturc is not dead in a_judge, and if my client were innocent, this detiance would cause his conviction, He was fined and ppealed, 1 «fnl two cascs, two fees, see, and the old man thinks 1 am a hero. Do you smoke? Come on.' " -~ Oh, What an Awful Breath! There 1s nothing more healthful than onions, T'he tronble is that persons are afraid to eat them because they make the breath unfragrant, But there is a less fragrant breath than that freighted with onions, mean the hrvu!lu- of a per- son with foul stomach. Take him away! we inwardly cry when he whispers in ourear. Do sce that your breath is pure, Take afew Branxorern's PiLis and regulate your liver, stomach and bowels and your breath will be sweet. — ———— OMAHA WHOLESALE MARKETS General Produce.

Burrer—The receipts of butter are heavy, and at the same time the demand is light and stocks are accumulating, The propor- tion of the receipts that can be wraded as choice 1s very small. The great bulk of the receipts 1s poor, and slow sale. As the warm weather is approaching, it will be necessary for shipvers to give more attention to the manner in which they pack their butter for shipment, I'ne retail grocers will only buy the best butter, and the appearance of the packages has much to do with selling it.
