Deaters on the Chicago board are accustomed to exciting scenes and kaleidos market sce 18 to b the storm center where both the upward and downward push in the price of the world's food products is most severely felt; but old members of the board, who had been through the whirl and ¢ of many collapsing con and pro erns in both grain ions, actually stood agh rapidity with which the firms went down.

First Intimation of Trouble. *There was a hush near the opening this morning when Sccretary Stone appeared on the balcony of the trading reom and notified all concerned that those having trades with the well-kuown provision brolbr fivms of J. G. Steever & Co., E. W. Bailey & Co. and A. Helmholz & Co. should proceed to close them out. The silence lasted for a second after the close of the announcement, and then a mighty roar went up from the pro- vision pit. As carly as Inst March it became apparent to the trade that mess pork was being “bulled” through these houses, and it soon became noised about in the provisiou trade that A. W. Wright was behind the deal. A year ago he started a corner in ribs, and with the help of Cudahy carried it throvgh 10 success, makiug a large amount of money Apparently, according to the general opinion on the-ponrd, he bad started to run a similar Lin mess pork. The collapse has been looked for for some weeks and as the monetary situation b camo more and more strained, and the bor rowing of money to put uo margins, mor and more duflicult, everybody intcrested in the deal drew out, leaving the market so dull that there was searcely enough business to cstablish, quotations.

But it is reliably vouched for that a sale was made at 19 and several as low as 810, a drop of §9,or nearly 50 per cent, or §450,000 on a visible supply o barrels, hen the market became quiet and good buying at the enormous decline carried the price back to$12, and subse- quent events had only a temporary effect on it. “Things were moving along with ominous smoothness when another and heavier shock came in the announcement by the secretary of the failures of the North Amey ing company. a packing concern ital of $250,000, 1n which *Jack” Cudihy was Iargely intevested; of Wright & Haughey, o respectable firm, chiefly engaged in the re- ceiving and shippiag of wheat, but which was understood to be interested with Cudahy in his deals in the provision pit Juack Cadahy's Fallure, Finally came the fuilure of Cudahy, the daring operator in provisions, n whose wealth had recently been estimated at no less than $1%,000,000, of which about £2,000,- 000 was made in'the deal in ribs last fall, The announcement of his failw scarcely died on the secretar the storm b bad lips before ke loose again, this time in the lard crowd.

No one pro- tends to estimate Cudahy’s losse Charlie Wright declares that Cudahy and K. Fairbavks, the fard king, were inter- ested with him in his deal, and that the trouble came about because they would not pub up any more margins. So° far s the trade is concerned, Mr. Fairbanks is not own in connection with the deal at all, John Cudahy has no financial interest in Cudany plant at South Omaha, which is ed by Iidward and Michael Cudahy.

DRALNIN ROPE, i Large Shipments of Gold Now Enroate to the United Sta:es, New Yonk, Aug 1.—A new and unex- pocted measure of relief has boen injected into the financial situation. United Stat, bonds have reached such a low figure that the national banks seo their w clear to make a profit by issuing certificates against them. Arrangoments have therofore been made by several of the more prominent banks to incroase their circulation from the minimum lmit, at which it now stands, to such an amount’ as will materially relieve the present tension It is estimated that 88,000,000 or £10,000,000 will besv added to New York's supply of currency within a very short time. Orders have already been placed with the comp- trolier of the currency for part of the naw bills and some of the banks have bought thew honds preparatory to depositing them in Washington. Among the banks that aro named as interested inthe movement are the Gallatin, Fourth, Merchauts, First New York and Park. New Ihils Ordored Engraved. ‘The Fourth National has alveady ordered 2,000,000 biils engraved and the Gallatin about £00,000. The latter bank has pur- chased 50,000 of the bonds aud the Bank of New York $700,000. The rest of the amount will be made up among the other bauks named. ‘The currency movement today was lighter than it hus becn for_some time, being esti- mated at less than $760,000. The stbtreas- ury was a creditor at the clearing house for £105.000, about half of which was pad 1n gold. kxchanges over the counter at the subtreasury was about #00,000. including £50,000 in_silver.

Tho issuo of loan certificates was_increa aising the total to 50 000, Today issue was for the purpose of facilitating the £old imports. The shipment of gold from England for New York by today's steamers reached £03, 000.

About_the only difficilty the banks now have to contena with, it is said, is the creat ity of currency, It was said that the loan certificates issued today practically‘represent the gold that has been ordered from London, as they were taken out by one of the lurge banks which lent money to some of the gold im- porting houses to buy foreign exchunge, 1t is not belicved that the total amount of certificates will be much increased after today. The first heavy importations of gold will “arrive this week. « fter which it is ex- pected there will be a ‘considerable easing up in the situation, as a consequence thereof. f Harvey Fish & Sons, who make a spocialty of government bonds, today sent u circular to national bank ofivers, urging the impor- tance of enlarging their circulation. They said: *“Thereis room fof an increase of over $100,000,000, provided the bouds can be secured for deposit. The banks can perform a service by increasing circulation, receive a reward in the shape of large profits and demonstrate to the public that a properly secured bank currercy is the best which i country can have, because it expands when nceded and contracts when not needed. t of irst National INCREASING THEIR CIRCULATION New Yo k Nationnl Banks Preparlog to nLarge Amount of Notos. WAsHINGTON, Aug. 1—The financial de- dression is to be relioved from a quarier that has not been looked to for succor. The reportof the treasury department, issued touay, shows thatin Jaly the circulation of national banks was increased ovor £5,000,- 000 Comptroller Eckels was asked tonight what was the sienificance of the increase. 1t is due,” he said, “in a large part to the low price of government bonds, which makes the issue of currency, even when r stricted to 90 per cent of the par value of bonds deposited to secure it, a profitable venture, for the banks. Four per cents are now qudted at $L.0S, which is quite a fall from the maximum figure which they have attained. ‘Then the stringency of tho money market makes it desizable™ that the circu- lating medium shall be increased as much as possible—national bank notes, secured by government bouds are a very satisfactory currency. “In the quarter ended July 81 the net in- crease of the national bank note ulation was something over $,000,000, and it will be increased this month at least that amount, in my opinion. The department sent out over 00,000 today and received applications from three New York banks for the issue of §00,- 000 to cach of them, $1,000,000 being depos ited with each of thoe applications.” “Will you recommend the liantation to 90 per cent'of the par value of the bonds in case of the restrictions to the issue of circu- fon be removed 2 I don't eare to 8 a8 to that. It is a recommendation that has been repeatedly made by comptrollers 1 their reports, but my time has been so taken up with - inatters of current topics that I have had no oppor- tunity to consider it yot."
