MERCANTILE EARTHQUAKES.
The Liverpool ''POst" Declares the Dis
quieting Rumors UnfOunded.


LIVERPOOL, Oct. 22.-The .NOrntng
Post, referring to the statements con-
cerning the Liverpool financial prospects
in the financial column of Yesterdays
London Standard, advises London journals
to ascertain the truth before publishing
such unfOunded reports. 1t adds that the
troubles in the sugar market ceased three
weeks ago, and that there is not the
slightest ground for apprehending the
impending bankruptcy of any one of the
American steamship lines. None of the
Liverpool papers have heard anything
about a large failure in that city, vague
reports of which have been circulated in
some quarters.

posted Jan. is, 1888, and $3.50 as de-
posted Jan. q, 1883. The grand iurv
having on Saturday found an Indictment

ton was made to-day by the grand jury

BOSTON COTTON BROKERS FAIL.
BOSTON, Oct. 22.-The suspension of
Freeman 81 Co., cotton brokers, was an
nounced this afternoon, and Occasioned
much surprise. 1t is stated that the firm
has claims outstanding against it exceed
ing $4,000, and owes one bank $27, ,000 1t
is understood that several months ago
they bought heavily of cotton in the South,
and have stored it III Boston. Since
then prices have fallen considerably, and
they have been obliged to sacrifice much
OF this at very great loss. The house
always had good standing and the best of
credit in proportion to its capital. It is
possible that an arrangement will be
made whereby the firm can resume. They
are rated at between 5000 and $4,000.
