EXCITEMENT ON CHANGE.
Heavy Failures and Widespread Ex.
citement.
Chicago. Feb. I5

CHICAGO, Feb. 15.
There was very active trading on change
today and the condition was simply panicky.
Wheat declined heavily at the closing, being
4a5 cents below yesterday, the lowest price
for the day being 6 cents below yesterday ::
corn about two cents lower; oats a cent of; {;
and provisions indescribably irregular with
decline for the day of about one dollar and
twenty five cents on pork and sixty cents on
lard. There has not been so exciting a day
on change for over year. The chief cause
of the decline was the announcement of the
failure of II. o. Kenyon & Co., commission
firm. which had very trade, the extent of
the failure cannot be ascertained, but it has
captured very large amount of operators
and Is doubtless for large amount. Ed
Fisher. a dealer in oats. also suspended his
liabilities. probably SIS, 200 to $40, 900.
