Heavy Decline in Canadian Se- curities and Unsettled Market Conditions Cause the Collapse. AN e TORONTO, Ont., June 2.—A. E. Ames & Co., one of the leading firms of bank- ers and brokers in Canada, closed their doors to-day. Their failure was due to the heavy declines in Canadian securi- ties which have been extensively dealt in on the New York and Boston ex- changes, as well as here and in Montreal. It is said that when market conditions have become settled and the securitles | held by the company and their custom- ers reach a figure approximating some- | thing like their actual value, the assets of the compan¥ will fully offset the lia- | bilities. | The stocks in which Ames & Co. and | their clients have been largely Interested are Dominion Steel common, purchased aroung $70, and which is now selling at $15 per share; Schloss-Sheffield and other industrials, purchased at figures much | higher than their present price; Twin City, which has declined from $128 to $92. After a meeting of the members of the firm it was decided to suspend payment. | The following notice was posted: | Owing to the continuous severe decline in the securities market we have found it necessary to suspend payment and would ask the in- Aulgence of our friends for a few days until We can prepare a statement of our affairs and | P decide what is best to be done. A. E. AMES & CO. On this announcement a wild panic en- sued on the Stock Exchange. Hundreds of persons gathered in front of the offices of .the company, clamoring for informa- tion as to the extent of the firm's lia- bilities. The last statement of the sav- ings bank department of the firm showed $200,000 on_deposit. It is said on good authority that Ames | has put $1,000,000 into the business and | the other members of the firm, R. Tud- hoper, E. D. aser and A. E. Wallace, sums aggregating nearly the same amount. It is known that one of the Toronto banks recently advanced $200,000 | to Ames & Co. in the hope that that amount would be sufficient to tide over | the affairs of the firm. Ten million dollars is the amount of the firm’s liabilities, ally agreed upon | by bankers and Against this | mount the company holds securities | which, in any half normal condition of | thé market, would be ample. B. E. Walker, general manager of the Canadian. Bank of Commerce, said to-day that although Ames kept his cash ac- at that bank, their relations had reen at all clos for many months | st. Ames’ indebtedness to the bank was less than a.quarter of & millfon, and the bank was secured by stocks which | are not affected by the suspension. The | board of the Bank of Commerce had not | approved of some of Ames’ ventures, and | their re ions had therefore been far from intimate. plisst AR VAL M L5 Protests His Innocence on Scaffold. !

Mr. Sung, Governor of Moukden, ar- rived at Moji, and, interviewed there, he said that Russia aims at securing perma- nent possession of Manchurla and the mouth of the Yalu. e e—— Ferris Wheel Is Sold at Auction.

Special Dispatch to The Call. ORTLAND, Or., June 2.—Binger Hermann will represent the First Qregon District in Congress, suc- ceeding the late Thomas H. Tongue. Re- turns from the election, while still incom- plete, show this beyond a doubt. It now looks as though Hermann's plurality will be far below the normal Republican plu- rality in the First District. Indications are that it will not exceed 2000 and 1850 is a nearer estimate. Binger Hermann was born near Cum- berland, Alleghany County, Maryland. He came to Oregon in 1858 and taught the first public school in Coquille Valley. In 1866 he was elected to the Legislature and admitted to the bar. He continued his law studies in the office of John B. Felton of San Francisco and then returned to Oregon. He was elected State Senator in 1868, appointed receiver of the United States Land Office for Southern Oregon in 1871. In 1884 he was elected to Congress, serving continuously until 1867. After his defeat for the Congressional nomination he was appointed commissioner of the General Land Office at Washington, serv- ing recent S Miss Lola Leonard, of Caryl, N.
