TRADE TROUBLES.

Panicky RumOrs ON Chicago Change.
CHICAGO, Februsry ia crop of rumors
sprung up on Change to-day and gained
some currency in business and news circles.
They were all directed toward shaking con-
fdeDce in the stability OF values, and were
for the most part stories of heavy failures.
Ooe failure was said to be that of promi-
nent iron firm, and another was in the whole
sale grocery line. There was no truth what
ever in the stories, and general feeling Of
indignation prevails that they should be
circulated, as they doubtless were for the
purpose Of influence speculation.
