WEDNESDAY, August 26,-e M.
The depressing effect IN the stock market OF
yealzations yesterday was further helped by short
sales to-day, and the weakening influence OF .
reported failure In the petroleum trade with liabL-
stes amounting to $600,OOO. The nrm involved is
that Of Sonneborne Co., formerly In the clothing
trade, from which, 1t is said, they retired with
u, o00, 600 surplus, whereupon tney entered into
the petroleum trade, investing $soo.ooo. Their
losses are roughly stated at $300,0 ,00G, although
they may be greater, their assets yet
consisting largely OF real estate, for which
there u at present no market. The general char
