CLEVELAND, O., May ia rumor was
prevalent on tho street to-day that the
Standard Oh Company had failed, md the
headquartsrs Of the corporation wero be.
seiged with anxious callars, while the tcle-
phones in the building occupied by the
immense company were continually ring.
ing. Telegraph messages were ste,m-
ed upon the Rockaiellers, Paynes and
other oil magna!cs abroad, and business
circles were excited by the conflicting re.
ports. Brokers in town were receiving
dispatches from Chicag, and St. Louis,
stating the same rumors were circulated
there, and that the markets we're breaking
rapidly. In Chicago wheat fell of about
three cents in short time on the strength
Of the report. E@ -
Areporter called on Col. o. II. Payne, the
treasurer Of the company, to ascertain tho
truth Of the report. He found the Colonel
In his Office on the fifth floor, and handed
him telegram stating the report Of the
company's failure.
you can say that tits all nonsense and
entirely without foundation" said the Col.
onel. "The first l heard Of 1t was abou.
five minutes ago, when received dis.
patch from q down town broker asking II |
there waB any truth In the story and l an
swered him lust as have you. They have
had us failing four or I. five = times
within as many years. On one occasion |
man who held our check for 5000 heard
such report and ran to the bank to have
II cashed. : Ihave no doubt but what this
report was circulated by spectators for the.
purpose Of influencing the MARKET" The
newspapers here received telegrams from
st. Louis, Cincinnati, and several other
points showing. that the rumor was not con.
fined to local buBiness circles. What gave
rise to the report was probably the knowl-
edge obtained by local brokers of the stock
