Runsrs Of . Heavy Failure.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, June l6.-A season of
extraordinary excitement was prevailing
on change, Immediately after the opening
this morning, by the rumor freely cir
culated that the firm OF McGeogh,
Evernhazn q Co., who have for long
time been looked upon as the heaviest
dealers in lard and other provisions
OH the Chicago board had failed.
This was verified in measure
soon afterward by a member Of the firm

change and notifying all with whom
they were interested in provision deals
to close them. Something in the nature
Of panic appeared to seize the provision
corner and for time the interest in
other trading was lost An effort to as
certain the extent 10 which McGeoch
had been operating failed both upon ap-
piication to the firm and members OF tue
Board OF Trade.

rumored this morning, will be very
heavy. A falling market brought in It's
tran lenty Of rumors of other ,mpend
ing failures, but up to 80 there was
noriling definite to report. Members OF
tine broken firm have declared to rep
resentatiye Of the Associated Press that
they would make no statement OF any
kind before tomorrow. Peter McGeocn,
tae head of the firm is resident
Vi Milwaukee and is familiarIy styled
''fhe Milwaukee MiikmAn." He is re-
ported to have been the leader in num-
Der of daring bull movements on both
the Milwaukee and Chicago markets, and
failed here two years ago. His firm
came prominently before the public two
weeks ago by their refusal to receive
large consignment OF lard from Chicago
ON the ground that 1t was tainted, aud
over which fact an investigation in the
Board is now in progress. The firm has
since accepted the lard in question under
protest.
