change.

Of the failure of Hoar 4 Co. caused quite a
furry among bankers and brokers. 1t is
said that the cause Of the failure was due
to the fact that Jay Gould gave Hoar & Co.
an order to buy 81 900, 600 in gold, and
that firm bought the same on their own
account. A statement was also made that
Hosr & Co. were long Of 81, 125, 900 gold,
and short of 1000 shares of stock.
The evening Post saws Since the an
nouncement of the failure of Hoar & Co.
$1,000 shares Of different stocks nave been
sold out under the rule, while the above
purchases strengthened the market, the
main effect has been to add to the democrat
ization which has ruled at the Stock Ex-
change for several days.
In connection with this failure are
rumors of fraudulent transactions cir
culated, which are credited by many to ac-
coun for the mysterious absence of mem
bers of the firm. Their gold clerk said the
failure is due entirely to a reputation of
their contracts by Belden q Co. Hoar
was arrested yesterday afternoon and lodg, d
in Ludlow-street Jail. 1t is stated that
Hoar & Co. nave overdrawn their account
at the City Bank SAG, 900; the bank is
secured.
