: and Much Anxiety About th'
brokers.
, ESPECIAL To THE SENTINEL
SAN Francisco, Dec.6 The reason tn
public assigned for the absence of the re
gular e~essions OF the Stock Boards to-da,
was that the brokers we're still behind Ii
their business, not having caught up
This did not meet with full credence, 81
it was known the brokers worked ycster
day and last nigh. straighting up. 1t wal
however, inferable that the brokers die
not know where they stood, and a genera
crash was imminent.
The San Francisco Board came TO.
gethcr at $50, and at onee went into execu'
tive session. This was attended by brokers
only. No official statement is received
of what occurred. At this executive ses-
sion 1t was learned, however, that a reso-
luton of self-defense had been adopted,
establishing the rule that after to-day no
check Of ST. 900, or upwards. would be
accepted unless certified. The executive
session having been adjourned, 1t was an-
nounced that the regular session would
be held at II o'clock. At that hour the
Board was called to order, but was i'm
mediately adjourned by the President
until 2:30 P. L, Elen it again adjourned
for the day.
When it was known this morning that
several new firms had failed the excite
ment was intense. The advance in stocks
did not appear to attract the attention of
spectators as formely. They were anx-
ions about their brokers. and stood about
debating with Themselves whether they
would put up more money, Before noon
Montgomery street, from California to
Bush, twas one swaying mass OF people and
policemen, who we're on duty, found it i'm
possible to keep the street clear. Old
timers said they never saw anything like
it, not even in the bonanza times. n
stock brokers said that they never saw in
vostors SO uneasy and anxious. The ex-
element was augmented by the suspen-
sion of the Stock Board, which drew the
people into the streets.
LATER-When the San Francisco Board
met OF 1870 it immediately adjourned
until 2:30 P. NJ. Toward noon, however,
there wss a sharp recovery, as indicated
by the outside transactions Con. Vir.
ginia advanced as high as $50. and other
shares also followed. with bids for them as
follows: Ophir SAG, Mexican SIP, Gould
and Curry S12k, Chollar 50, Potosi $l4,
Best and Delcher $23. and Savage SIS.

Successful Cotton swindle.

ST.. LOUIS June 26.-One of the biggest cot
ton swindles on record has just been successful
ly executed in this market. 1t was worked by a
buyer who formerly had headquarters in Hope,
Ark. but now does business from Texarkana,
Tex. About month ago he arranged the sale
of 5000 bales good middlng from Texarkana, TO
Eastern buyers. sending samples from that
place. He requested the privilege Of reshipping
from St Louis, as he could make better freight
arrangements, and, having secured the cotton a
shade under the market, the Eastern parties
readily gave him permission to forward the cot
ton in that way. Having secured the buyers
consent for that purpose, the Texan came here
and bought, recently, all the low, sandy and
stained cotton he could ind until he had filled
his orders The cotton was shipped, the drafts
paid on the samples sent from Texarkana,
through arrangements made with Texarkana
banks and their st. Louis correspondents. His
excess profits are estimated at $4,000 Mr..
Joseph Marks, president of the Citizens Bank,
of Texarkana, denies the statement that his
bank made any arrangements with the cotton
swindler whereby drafts were paid upon the lat
ters samples.

prophecy of Robert Cross, who q month ago pre-
