WARDS LAST FEAST
At the Dedication OF the New Pro-
duce Exchange In Gotham.


The night before the failure Of Grant
& Ward the great new Produce Exchange,
which has been br lught out Of obsourity
by such men as Ferdinand Wnrd and his
employers, Controller Grant and Mayor
Edison. was dedicated amidst the most
splendid acc0mpanimenis ever known
here on a business occasion. Three mil
ion dollars had been spent in fitting up
this great new Produce Exchange. which
is made Of red Philadelphia brick, is over
300 feet long, has great cimpauile tow.
or, and from it, sides in colossal terra
Gotta extend the shields Of all the Amer
lean States; aud at different portions of
the cornice you see, also in terra Gotta,
the heads of bulls. mud beeve', and
hogs, and whatever we Kill 10
feed the world with. Ibis maguiii
cent building, the ground OF which
alone. with the piling it required, cost
81 ,0000. 900. stood opposite Tho spot
where the statue of George Ill once
reared itself in the Bowling Green. On
TINT square lived General Washington
awhile when President. The great
building had been raised by the appreci-
alton OF Produce Exchange certificates,
chiefly arising from the new fashion OF
gambling IN futures, not because the
normal trade required such palace, but
because gambling demanded such q
Monaco OF Badeh-Biden pavilion. The
seats had run mp from 500, or even less
than that, to $1,000, and even $4,000. aud
Messrs. Edison. Controller Grant and
Ferdinand Ward held the opinion thai
ultimately they would be worth 5000
apiece. A few years ago the Produce
Exchange found itself possessed of a
surplus Of near $500 600 by the increase
Of its membership aud the enlarged price
OF ita seats. Starting out to spend
this money or little more, the OK
penditnre has been $1,000, 900. Two or
three days before tho Produce Exchange
was dedicated. James Keene, one of the
foremost and first in point OF time to
speculate in grain aud produce options,
foiled. The morning after the great
pageant OF the dedication Ferdinand
Failed, or his firm did, and in their col
lateral Institution was at least 81 ,000. 900
of the money Of the city. No man can
tell what day may bring forth. A few
months ago 1t seemed to me that could
see in the perspective an enormous bank
ing firm rising up under this style OF
Grant 4 Ward. thought lcould see them
negotiating the securities OF New York
city for tho building of new aqutducts
and public works and gradually becon-
ing the chief fiscal agents here Of mum
cipal bonds Suddenly something rushes
across the sight. as cloud Of dust, and
nll is vanity. -New York Letter.
