COLLAPSE OF THE BIG MEAT COMPANY.
A REPORT THAT j. H. FLAGLER AND ]. O. MOSS

THE CHIEF OFFICERS, HAVE RESIGNED.
Wall Street was much surprised by the announce
ment issued at a late hour yesterday afternoon by
John n. Davis Co., brokers and bankers OF No. 10
wall-st, that they declined to receive any more
subscn ptons for stock in the American Meat Com
pany, q great undertaking which has been widely
advertised. The notice issued read as follows:
aTo the Public: For reasons which we consider
good and sufficient, but not through any lack Of
confidence in the enterprise itself, VIC have declined
to receive any further subscriptions TO the stock Of
the American Meat Company. Those who havo
already subscribed through will. upon appca
ton, receive back the full amount OF what they
have paid in" The financial agents OF the company
In Philadelphia, Baltimore, Boston and Pittsburg
also issued similar notices.
The company was incorporated under the laws OF
NewMexico, and acquired considerable property
among which $50 900 acres Of land and 100000
head Of cattle with ranches and all the equipment
for conducting the largest business In the dressed
beef traS8c yet undertaken. The officers Of the COM
pany were J. H. Flagler president J. o. Moss, vice
president; Charles Z. Coon, secretary and jennings
Cox, treasurer. Tho authorized capital stock was
s1I ,oO0 OF which 81. 100000 was subscribed up
to April 10 and It rumorcd yesterday that up 10
that time the subscriptions were greatly Ia excess
Of the promoters expectations.
II was reported that the collapse OF tho scheme
was duo to pressure brought to bear upon tho com
pany by p. II. Armour Co., Of Chicago. who arc
among the largest customers Of the American Cotton
Seed OIL Trust OF which J. Fl. Flaglcr and J. o. Moss
are officers and It was said in Wall Street that tho
recent bear raid tho certificates Of the Trust was
due TO rumor that Mr. Flager would retire from that
corporation and devote his attention 10
the American Meat Company. All the Of
fcias Of that company were, however, silent
on the subject Of the sudden collapse Of the scheme
and nothing could be learned to verify the statements
as to the opposition Of the Chicago arm to the new
company.
John II Davis declined 10 give any reason for tho
sudden closing of the subscriptions for Stock and
Osmond Hammond general manager OF the meat COM
psny, said that the action Of J. H. Flagler and J..
O Moss in redgnlng their Offices and the Issuing OF
tho notice mentioned were due to no misunderstanding
with tho promoters o: the scheme. but declined to
say anything to tho rumor that the closing up
was caused by Influences from Chicago lie said that
statement would DO issued in day or two explain
Mr. Fiagler refused to say anything about either
the collapse Of the scheme or his reported resigna-
tien Mr.. Moss was out Of town all day.
