DOWN THEY GO,

LONDON, June 2l.-The market for
American securities opened weak, and by
noon there was decline in the list rang

GARRISON's FAILURE IN ENGLAND.
LONDON, June 2l.--The announcement
of the assignment Of Commodore CARR
son creates general surprise in financial
centres throughout Europe and among
the members Of the Stock Exchange of
this city, where his financial standing
was thought to be almost impregnable.
The report on Thursday that he had al
lowed note to go to protest was re-
ceived with incredulity. Nevertheless,
it affected the market and was the cause
of marked decline in American railway
securities yesterday.
The Standard this morning says:
"Commodore GarriSon's failure viii no
uouD. uePtcoS hHeilCah securities TO-
day, as such heavy failures will cause
a strong feeling against American
stocks in the minds of investors, and
influence them to look elsewhere
for more desirable investments" 1t
also says the failure has caused a weak
feeling to prevail in the petroleum
market, and expresses the fear that it
will result in number of failures in that
trade.
