=2 SOt must have money to_continue to run their factories, are being obliged to come to Wall street for assistance. ‘I'heir banks have so far contracted credits as to force customers into seeking supplies of funds outside of the ordinary channel. This leads to frec sales by such people of securities which they have been carrying for investments. This is one phase of the far-reaching liquidation now under full headway in the east. Good news comes upon the market withont prompting much of n response, The big gain in_surplus reserve shown by today’s bank statement fell flat. The mar- ket steadied momentarily and then went on sagging. On an average the prices for con- spicuous stocks are below where they were in the panic smashup last week An unfortunate episode closed the week's record, when a prominent brokerage and banking house was obliged to send notice to the Stock exchange that it had been falsely announced as having failed. Clreulated False Reports. A Wall street news agency had been guilty of a blunder, or worse, in sending out a bulletin rnprusnutin{( that this firm had made an assignment. Wall street is so acutely nervous that it is ready almost to believe anything, and under such conditions even the staunchest and strongest men and institutions can be damaged by rumor- mongers. The firm whose credit was today impugned has close Vanderbilt relationship. It 1a not improbabie that the fact will cause proceedings to be instituted looking to the unishment of the rumor-mongers, who have either wholly unprincipled or most in- excusably reckless. How Wall street feels on this score is apuly and tersely reflected in a telegraphic letter which the Stock exchange house of ‘Woerishoeffer & Co. sent out tonight to its clients and correspondents. Woerishoeffer & Co. represent the *most conservative ele- ment in the street and it voices the earnest opinion of the brokerage and banking com- munity when it says there has been heavy liquidation on the exchange accompanied by nfl kinds of rumors and a vast mass of abso- lute and malicious lies. To Protect Wall Street Kirms. “The latest culminated lmhl:}' in the report of an assignment by H. B. Hollins & Co., which induced the firm to send a formal letter to the Stock exchange, which was vead from the rostrum; denouncing these rumors as absolutely false. They announce their perfect solvency and that should end the matter. It is now time for decent people to take a hand and close the mouths of those who start by insinuation and end in circulating what arc almost formal state- ments, affecting credit and prices to incrense their ill-gotten gains. Aany man who even repeats in good faith shoula be compelled to disclose his authority or be considered ver- sonally liable. “It would be a tonic experience ify sugge: tions such as these could be put into pre tice. Wall street has enough distres: and Indisputable, pressing and urgent, with- out the contributions of baseless stock Jobbing connections. Furopean buying, of ‘which so much s heard a week ago, has dropped out of sight. The outlook for the stock market is far from cheering. Rallies may come, and they presumably will, Some of them may be sharp, but few are likely to be lasting.” H. ALLOWAY. D PE ANDAL.

RUN ON A MILWAUKEE BANK, Depositors of tho Plankinton Are Taken with n i Mowavkee, Wis,, May 13.—The fact that the Plankinton bank had loaned $219,000 to the firm of Frank A. Lappen & Co., which became known Friday by the attachment proceedings begun by the bunik, had a de- cidedly panicky effect on the smaller de- positors of that institution, and long before the hour for opening the bank this morning the streets in that vicinity were crowd As soon as the doors opened there was a long line of men and women in froat of the teller window, and that oficer kept his post steadily uutil 4 o’clock this afternoon, meet- ing every demund, a total of $100,000 in small sums, Shortly after the bank opened a special train of oune car and an engine arvived from Chicago with $77,000, a cash balauce due the Plankinton from the Continental National banlk of Chicago. Shortly afterward a mes- senger arrived from the Wisconsin Marine and Fire Insurance company's bank with £32,000, due from that institution. There were plen of offers of nelp from other banks during the day, the Clearing House association having passed a resolution to help the Plankinton, but their assistance was not needed. The threatened panic is over. The committee of creditors in charge of the affairs of .

Williams, president of the clearing house committee and of the Chem- dcal National bank, said: ‘“I'here has been altogether too much made of the situ. ation. All that 1s wanted now s quiet. The western failures are ade- quately explained in the method in which they do business, The case with which this business community sustained the losses of last week gives them grounds for confidence rather than anything else. The losses must have been enormous, yet sce ow quickly and how comparatively easy they have been taken. London cannot hurt us much, if any, not only because it is par- ticularly light of means to affect us, but be- cause tho relation of financial standing and- resource of England and the United States have changed.

IT PARALYZED STOUKS. Wenkness on Wall Street Resulting from the Financ.al Situntion, New York, May 13.—Stocks were very weak all day. There was a heavy selling movement from first to last.

Bohemian Fair Ends and is Declared a F 1 and Soclul Success, The fair given under the auspices and for the benefit of the Bohemian Gymnast ciety at Metz hall on South teenth street closed with o ball last night. The Bohemian band, under tne leadership of Mr. Dopita, furnished the music. Tt was a most sucee ful affair from a financial point of view and otherw thout 82,500 being realized as the net pre This sum will be used as pary of a building fund for the erection or a turn hall for the use of the society. Just where this hall is to be built is a mat- ter of conjocture at present, but if a viaduct is put in at Fifteenth strect a location on that street will probably be chosen. The success of the undertaking is lurgely due to the efficient teacher of gymnastics of the Bohemian society, Mr, Rudolph Havelka, who has spared no time or trouble to ad' vance the interests of the fair. Also to the 0- Thi grand president, Anton Kment, as well as the un- | tiring efforts and sacrifices of Treasurer John W. Zerzan.

The initinl lacrosse game of the season was played at the old ball park yesterday afternoon batween the teams of Omaha and Lincoln before a rather attenuated but very select crowd of spectators, Owing to some little hitch in the pre- liminary arrangements the ball was not put in motion uneil half past 4, thirty minutes after the scheduled time. ‘When 1t was started, however, there was no dillydallying. Both teams had the lust ot local pride and glory upon them, and for two hours there was sufficient vigorous action to have stirred the sluggish blood of an anchorite. The crowd seemed o enjoy the sport immensely, and at various stages in the confiict at- tested to their appreciation with the most vociferous cheers. At 4:30 Mayor Bemis facea the ball off and the battie of the athletes began, There was but little vreparatory skirmishing, but from the very Jump 1t was Groek against Greek, the Gree- ians from the shores of the Saline rivulet wetting decidedly the worst of it, both as to the concerted action as a team and individual work. In passing the ball Captain Peddie’s white Shirts displayed by far the best judgment, ana at the termina- tion of thirty-five minutes of tho liveliest ex- ercise imaginable Prickett sent the little sphero hurling between the flags of the Cap- ital City's goal amidst the partisan shouts of the crowd. In this opening bout Messrs. O'Hanley, Dorn, Prickett and McDougal covered them- selves with dust and glory for Omaha, and Mockett, Grifiiths, Gascoigue and John- son did likewise for Captain Walton's side. The umpires were Messrs. Anderson and O'Day, and referee H. Jones, all of whom cquitted themselves creditably and com- petently. After the customary ten iinutes rest the knights of eatgutted crosse were again at it, Lincoln fighting as if the fate of the nation depended on the outcome. The Omahas, too, were strung taut by the excitement of the first innings, and foughv like Trojans. Their most deter- mined resistance, however, availed them naught, and at the termination of ten brief minutes the supple ctive Grifffths caught the ball in his . madea splendid sprint, and fired it through Omaha's goal | with the uncrring certainty of a rifle s The tinal bout was a honey cooler and lasted within a fraction of a half hour.
