The Failure of H. D. Cooke g. Co.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 23.-The private bank
ing house of II. D. Cooke & Co., of this city,
displayed the following notice at tie usual
opening hour this morning:
'Owing to our inability TO meet our press
ing demands, we deem it better for the in
terests Of all concerned to suspend Temporal
rily.''
The firm consists of II. Cooke, of Wash
ington, and A. G. Campbell, of Kansas and
Utah. The latter is not in the city, and Mr.
Cooke has remained at his residence this
forenoon. From Maj. Jno. W. Carson, con-
fidential clerk of the house, it is learned the
total Indebtedness of the firm is $40. 600, of
which $50, 600 is fully secured. The liabili-
ties are nearly all due Washington creditors,
there being only few thousands due credi-
tors in Baltimore, New York and Chicago,
The Indebtedness to Washington bankers is
abunGantly secured. Major Carson saws
there is every reason TO believe the firm will
be able, with the aid of some indulgence in
time, to pay the liabilities in full. 1t is also
learned at the bank that the suspension re-
suits from unfortunate investments. dating
back a number of years. The firms un-
secured liabilities amounted to about S4OO.
900 last January, aud they have steadily
been paid off since that time, until they
are now reduced to $40 900. The firm has
| at last reached point, however, where the
remaining assets prove to be unavailable for
| immediate use in the market, and can be
realized upon only by good management and
waiting for suitable opportunities. The firm
had no interest in the Washington d Ohio
railroad, although Mr.. Campbell Individually
purchased one-third OF it for scme S94. 900.
at the receivers sale a year or two ago.
Later in the day Mr.. Cook was seen by a
! representative of the Associated Press. He
/ said he preferred not to discuss the matter of
the suspension until he should see his partner.
Mr.. Campbell, who is absent in
the west and who he had been unsuccess-
fully endeayOring to reach by telegraph.
He, however, assigned as the cause of the
the suspension the general shrinkage of val
ues, the prevalent distrust throughout the
country and consequent inability of the firm
to collect debts due and procure carving out
contracts in their favor. ''My partner, Mr.
Campbell, . SAID Mr.. Cook. 'is uninformed
as to the action l have assumed, the respon
sibjhty of taking. Our outlying responsible
lities Of every sort, deducting the assets on
our books, are about $40, OO0 l have nc
doubt the assets, after deducting all liabilitie:
on railroad account are more than ample tc
nav off every liability.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 23.-The Women's Chris
tian Temperance union resumed its session
this morning. The report of work among
foreigners WIS read. Thirty thousand pages
of German literature have been put in cir
culation and distributed in the various states,
and new superintendents were appointed in
several states having a large German, Scan
dinavian and Dutch population.
On motion it was resolved that work
among the Indians shall hereafter constitute
a separate department.
The report Of Mrs. Caroline B. Buell., Of
Connecticut, presented brief history of the
association for the past ten years, and the
birth Of the Women's Christian
Temperance union was in the
crusade, and occurred at Cleveland in No
yember, 1874, under the head of evangelis-
tic work. It was stated that saloon visiting
had given place to gospel meetings.
Other divisions report as follows: Work

was made that the compulsory temperance

The Farm Interest.

Hamlin county is going in for the Dakota
ribbon on vegetables. The Times says:
Hamlin county has produced the largest tur-
nip and now she lays claim to having raised
the best and largest potatoes ever dug from
the fertile soil of Dakota. From one-haf
pound of seed, Mr.. VIM. Marshall, of
Keator's ranch. grew 130 pounds OF potatoes,
among which are some that measure ten and
one-half inches in circumference and are
twenty-one and one-half inches long, weigh
ing four to five pounds The average weight
of the entire lot is two pounds. Those pota-
toes, although of an extraordinary size, are
sound, dry and mealy.
Since the demand for big vegetables to
send to New Orleans every section is hunt
ing up its immense root crops, and if tenth
of tnem reach the exposition the display will
be simply immense. There will be cabbage
heads as large as bushel basket and as solid
as the head of the average Dakota politician,
potatoes, turnips and pumpkins, etc., etc.,
that probably have never been surpassed in
size. Every rural editor has his office filled
with samples sent him. The editor of the
Port Emma Times in Dicky county, has
radish six feet and four inches in length or
perhaps thickness, it is not remembered GER
tainly which. 1t is not easy to lie about
Dakota vegetables.
The Sioux Falls Leader says of the results
of diversified farming in that section:
The good results of diversified farming are
daily coming to light. Mr.. Lasche informed
our reporter to-day that within three miles of
his place seven fine large barns are in pro-
| cess of construction, and number of houses.
! These barns are built by farmers who could
hardly live on raising wheat, but since they
! changed their mode of farming to mixed
crops and stock, they are saving money and
adding substantial Improvements to their
farms.
The farmers in the Devils Lake region will
not be caught depending upon wheat alone
another season. That will be true generally
in the north as well as the south. it will be
good thing if the low prices of wheat result
in dividing up the big b0nanzas which are
generally farmed by non-residents and are
of no advantage to the country.
The Wahpeton Gazette says: Col. ]. A
Barker showed US five ears of corn, last Mon
day, that were raised on section %, town 1856
range 81, which he intended to take to th
New Orleans fair. The five ears weighed
three pounds, fourteen ounces, nine and
half inches long, fourteen rows of kernels +
the ear, and tips and butts of ears filed re
marksbly close, is of the dent variety, keI
nels long, aud of a reddish smoky color.
any one doubts the practicability of raisin
corn in North Dakota, their doubts would b
removed by inspecting this beautiful sampl
of Dakota corn.
