WALL STR ots. EL FOR A W 5 Doubt Regarding Repeal of © Sherman Luw Aflects the Market Unfn NEw Yonx, July 14.—Bradstreet roview of Wall street will s cy situation togovern the action of speculation. The market for call loans has eased off ma- terially, rates being close to 6 per cent dur- ing the greater partof the week. Strinzency, however, has still prevailed in time loans and commercial discounts, whily exaggor- ated apprehensions have been created by the ed locking up of funds and by the existenco of temporary complications in the sottlement of balance: due tho . Tears that relief from the repeal'of the Sherman ac may not be as speedy as could be desired, have also bad an effect, while the incendi utterances of the Colorado silver extremists, whilo not taken too seriously, served never- theless to create an impression that-the struggle in congress may be severe and pro- tracted. Factors of this ter, checking the development of both investment buying and speculative support, have given oppor- tunity for rencwed activity by bear ope tors whose success in depressing values in the early part of the week was considerable. London aided in this movement, the fort- nightly settlement there being attended by a number of failures, mainly of small dealers in “American rails,” due to the decline in that class of securities, but more especially to the ‘dry rot” which London = has dured ever smco Baring failur he bear eampaign wh culminuted on Tuesday was still fully con- <avted, though the circulation of unfounded rumors about the position of parties con- nected with some of the strongest finaneial interests in the country was o disagreenble incident.

At tho close. tho market tends to improve on the covering of tho heavy short inverest, induced by the’| subsidence of the London disturbance, by the inflow of money from the interior and by the decline of exchange and prospect of heavy gold imports. LUM continued R FIRM £AILS, Assignment Made by the St. Louis Lumber Company of St. Louls. St. Lovis, July 14.—The St. Louis Lumber company assigned this afternoon to F. W, Bewmdinek. Assets, $40,000; liabilities about the same. The failure was brought about by losses in the Huydock Bros. failure and that of J. P. Richardson, a small lumber dealer, Auothor cause is the disap- pearance of Hubbard V. Jones of the firm of Jones, McPherson & Co., who, it is stated, has gono away, allowing notes involving the failed firm to go to protest. Until Jones re- turns it will bo impossible to straighten out the affairsof the failed firms whose business. has been involved with his. Altogether five firms in the lumber busi- ness have failed this weel, all more or less tangled with each other, viz. J. A. - nell & Co., Howard Watson, J. P. Richard- son, J. L. White & Co, and the St. Louis Lumber company. Jones, McPherson & ¢ are also concérued in the failure of Weils & Co. of Chicago. Tho latter irm advancod the former #20,000 on lumber whick was afterwards burned. Then it was found that the insurance policies were in Jones' name and the presentation of a bill of sale to pro- tect tho advance would have rendered the policies void and thus the Chicago tirm was compelled to suffor in silence, SENATOR ALLISON'S VIEWS, Causes Given by Rim for the otary Stringe MiNNEAror1s, July 14, —Senator Allison of Towa, who is in the city a guest of Senator ‘Washburne, said today thut the present finan- cial disturbances were due largely to the fuct that there is o belief that if we contin- ued to purchase silver we must soon reach u silver standard. Added to this there is tho expansion of credits and o distrust of the emocratic policy on the currency und tarif. 0 stoppage of the pui o of silver will greatly ald in restoring confidence and we can cosily maintan ata good par all the siivor wo hav, ver bullion is now far bolow its normal price and it will advance s soou as the policy regarding its use is more clearly detined, Il oventually be rostored o its old status. The original in- tent of tho law was 1o increase the circulat- dng medium and did 5o until recently. Now, howeyer, it has the effect of causing the hoarding of gold and greenbacks, causing contraction. So it probably ought to be re- pealed.

Suspension of the National Bank of that Plnco—Its Assets und Linbilitiox. Kaxsas Crry, July 14.—The National Bank of Kansas City suspended payment at 2:55 o'clock this afternoon and is now in the hands of the comptroller of the currency. The assets, President J. S. Chick said this aftornon, will be botween 82,000,000 and 23,000,000 and the liabilities between $500,- 000 and $1,000,000. Ho is confident that the depositors will be paid dollar for dollar. President Chick said the suspension was due to steady withdrawals of deposits since the beginning of tne financial stringency. “We began to lose deposits early in May,” he said. “The demand on us went along until the failure of the ngs bank last Tuesday, and ev day since then the withdrawals of individual and of bank deposits have been heavier. We thought we could get through today, but we were forced to quit just five minutes before the usual time. A few minutes before we closed we received demands for $10,000 by telograph, We saw we could not stand another day’s run and there was only one thing lefv for us to do, and we did it. "Last night we asked the Clearing House for help and that fuct was telegraphed to creaitors and devositors out of town and caused the run to be heavier. We asked for ample aid from the Clearing Houseand this morning we receivgd §35,000. The orders for currcncy came in 80 heavily, however, that we could 1ot possibly fill them, “I do not see how the depositors can lose a penny,” continued Mr. Chick. “Our deposits at ono time were about $,000,000, but they have been drawn down 50 that they aro now betwoen 800,000 and $1,000,000. 1 cannot tell what our assets are exactly, but the aro botween $2,000,000 and 3,000,000 They are largely in mercanti nd bank loans.’ The National Bank of Kansas City had a capital stock of $1,000,000. At its last stato- ment of May 4 it had & surplus fundof §200,- 000 and unaivided profits of §24,000.24. Its circulation in national bank notes was $45,- 000, which was secured by £50,000 in United States bonds, It has outstanding loans of about $3,500,000. ‘The National Bank of Kansas City was an outgrowth of the Bank of Northrup & Chick, which was the pioneer banking os- tablishment of Kansas City. la 1582 the firm removed to New York City, whero it failed in the panic of 1573, but aft ard paid out in full. The following year North- rup and Chick returned to Kansas City and in 1875 thoy orgauized the National Bink of Kansas City. 'our of the national banl today publish reports of their condition at the close of busi- ness July 12, the report bein; lled for pstoruay by the comptroller of currency. T'he report of the Citizens National shows deposits of #300,200, with a cash reserve of $407.200; Union National, deposits 81,006,200, cash reserve, $964,277; Missouri National, doposits 000,000, " cush resorve, $371,024; Motropolitan Nutional, deposits $1,005,200, veserve, $391,200. The publication of these statements today, which are exceptionally favorable, is expocted to allay in a great measure the uncasiness causcd by today's failuve.

Dexven, July 14.—Late this afternoon W. H. Bush and N. M. Tabor, lessees of tho Brown Palace Hotel company, made an as- signment to Frank C. Young. The amount of their liabilities is placed at $550,000, with assets at £3.223.00 he assots of the com- pany consist principally of real estate, hotel furnituro and bills due. The failure was eaused by the stringoncy in the money mar- kot and inability to secure extension of its paper. The failure includes the furniture of the Hotel Metropole, the Tabor and Pierce Lumber company, and 000 worth of stock of the Windsor Farm company held by Mr. Bush. It is believed that the assets will materially decrease before liquidation has been effected. 'The failure will in no way effect the Brown Palace hotel building, which is owned by Henry C. Brown and which will not be closed. The liabilities will fall principally in London, where the stock is held, The local banks are involved to but o small amount and are amply secured.

Mr. Wyman was very anxious to gain the consent of the comptroller to grant the bank until September1 to get its affairs into shape %o resuine business on that date. The comp- troller, however, informed Mr. Wyman that he would not consent to an extension beyond August 15, Mr. lckels also informed Cash- ier Wyman what conditions the bank ofticials will be obliged to fulfill in order to gain his consent to the reopening of the American National. In the first placo the comptrollor will in- sist that the stock now held by McCague be purchased by thoroughly responsible busi- ness men, This transfer of stock must be an accomplished fact by Angust 15. His second condition is that the shareholders shall put in an assessment of 50 per cont on the capital stock. The comptroller will also insist that when the bank resumes business it shall have in its vaults sufficient cash to pay all its obligations in full. Some of the creditors of the bank have signified in writ- ing their willingness to grant_the American Natjonal time to sottle its obligations. The bank will not be obliged to have cash on hand on the opening day to cover such cases. Mr. Kckels will also insist upon an entire change in the managoment of the American ional. He deems it desirable, in order that the bank shall be placed uvon a safa basis, to” get in a new set of officials, Mr. Wyman assured the comptroller that ho felt certain the shareholders of the American National would be able to comply with all the conditions Jald down. He stated that several prominent business men stood rendy to buy in the McCague interests and that the stockholders would doubtless stand the 50 per cent assessment. Congressman Bryan's Prospects. The mantle of ex-Congressman Pierce of Tennessee has, according to_current rumor, fallen upon the shoulders of Representative Bryan of Nebraska. In a letter received today from Congressman Bland of Missouri the latter intimates that Cougressman Bryan will assume the place which Mr. Pierce occupied in the last congress as the leader, with Mv. Bland, of the free coinage for . Mr. Pierce not returned to con- R Some time ago the Nashville Amer- ican referred significantly to the fact that Mr. Pierce, the outsppken advocate of free coinuge in the Tennesges delogation, was the only democrat in the list who was not re- elected. The free silver,men are some: clated over the prospect, that Bry become an aggressive factor with M in favor of free coinage. Not Anxious for Commitieo Work. A lotter received here. today by a_close personal friend from. Representative Bland, bears out the statements of yesterday that he does not cave to be the chairman of the committee on coinage, weights and mons- ures. Mr. Bland says that he prefers to make his fight on thewloor/of the house, froe and untrammeled from the duties and ob- ligations of the chairmanghip of a commit- tee hostilo to his views, JIf the chairm: ship is offered to hini'he 3ays that he will not sulk, but will serye, but that his per- sonal preference is to-be at liberty to make his battle on the floor in His own way. He says in this letterahat. he hus selocted for his licutenant on the floor, Representative Bryan of Nobraska. In the last house Mr. Bland's lieuteffint " yvas presentative Plerce of Tennessee. Mr, Pierce was not chosen to the present * congross and his re- tirement has necassitated the selection of a new lioutenant and Bland's choice has fallen on Bryan. This moye upoén Mr. Bland’s part shows conclusively that the notea champiorof silver proposes to contest every inch of ground in the struggle over that metal which will be precipitated as soon as con- gress assembles.

WasHINGTON, Juiy 14.—The only officisl nows of the trouble betwoen tho Frensh and Siamese received at tho State department was contained ina brief cablogram from Acting Consul General Boyd at Bangkok, stating that after an hour's engagement the French vessels had passed the forts below Bangkok. Itis not the present intention of the department to specially dispatch an American war vessel to tho sceno of war, in_view of the fact that the American interest in Siam are insignificant, being con- fined to a small trade in teak wood. Never- theless it is apprehended that if the war a sumes formidable proportions, the Siamese may make it very unpleasant for foreign res- idents, including the few Americans there, as the hostilities are apt to be characterized onono sido by the summary proccedings known to semi-barbarous nations, If such o state of affairs obtains, however, the United States will not be without u vessel - Siamese waters, ‘ds the United States ship.
