The Condition of the Crops Almost
Causes Panic.
NEW YORK, September 11th.-All the
speculative markets to-day were excited
and uneasy, and fluctuations more violent
than for many years. In the grain market
fluctuations were wild and prices went up
with a rush. The brokers were all amazed
at the character of the Govern
ment crop report, it being the most un-
favorable taking all crops together, ever
issued, and the shorts and different op-
tions rushed 10 corn without regard to
price
In the Stock Exchange the holders of
stock were staggered at the estimates of the
crops. The idea prevails that such fall
ing off in the yield will have a disastrous
effect on the net earnings of the railroads
The crop report was soon lost sight of.
however. in the alarm caused by several of
the m ost conservative houses calling in
their loans on stock collateral. The rate
for call loans at once advanced to pre-
MUM of per cent. in addition 10 legal
interest, and on some of the fancy stocks
no loans could be obtained at any figure.
This forced a renewal of the attempts to
liquidate, and decline followed. Every
thing on the list suffered losses ranging
from l to 81 per cent, and for a time the
market was demoralized.
The heavy offers of Government bonds
for prepayment of interest then gave
fresh supply of money, and to some extent
restored confidence. and in the better class
of stocks most of the dealers recovered.

New YORK, September 11th.-Leyy
Mayer, the Chicago lawyer, VINO mas oeen
identified With the formation of a number
of big English syndicates in this country,
and who went to Europe last summer to
find investment in American property and
enterprises returned yesterday.
He said There are two companies
which Represented in London--the Anglo
American Investment Company and the
City of London Contract Company. The
Anglo American will have its headquarters
in London, with branches in New York,
Chicago, ST Paul, Omaha and San Fran
cisco. The capital is SIS, 600 900, of which
Sc, 100000 will have been paid in London
by to-day. The remainder will be paid to-
morrow. There has been spportioned to
be paid in by directors of the company
in each of the American cities, $3.50, ,0C0.
The American directors of the enterprise
are bankers, fnanciers and leading business
men.
"The Anglo, American Investment Com
pBny has several schemes on foot, each OF
which is big investment in itself. 1t has
placed SO. 100000 in railroads in Arizona
and New Mexico. and will probably COM
plete contracts in few days for the pCr-
chase of three large sugar plantations in
the Sandwich Islands, now owned by a
corporation in Hawaii.
''As attorney for the City of London
Contract Company" continued Mayer,
which was organized TO float American
schemes, happen to know that within the
last few months very many American IN
vestment enterprises-bi ones, too-have
come to grief IN London. 1t isn't putting
it too strong to say that out of $50 enter
prises sent over to England to be foated
not five have found hackers with British
gold. The contrary is believed in this
country, know, and it is well known that
in every big city in America there are
curbstone workers who buy options on all
sorts OF schemes, and then rush over to
London to place them"

acious plan which contemplated the whole
sale kidnapping of children for ransom was
revealed to day, when the Grand Jury

be paid.

coachman of Mrs jeff. Dunlap, wealthy
widow living on MCGEE street. Mrs. Dun
laps three. year-old boy was to have been
the first victim. and then the four-year- -old
son of James A. Arnold, of 1919 East Fif-
teenth street, was to have been kidnapped.
After these two had been ransomed Others
were to have been kidnapped. The plan
was all laid out 10 kidDap the Dunlap boy,
when the coachman weakened and con-
fessed his part in the contemplated scheme
to Mrs. Dunlap, who informed the police.
When Wilson went to the vicinity of Mrs.
Dunlap's residence last Saturday to carry
out the first pa7t of bis plan, an officer
placed bin under arrest, aud to-day the
Grand Jurg indicted him.

WYOMING ELECTION.
CHEYENNE tWyo), September 11th.-
The first State election in Wyoming came
off to-day. The utmost enthusiasm was
shown, but it is doubtful if the vote will
be very large The Australian ballot sys-
tenn was introduced for the first time, and
with the registration system.
Until within q few days it was under
stood that toe law contained a clause to the
effect that when, through absence or ILL.,
ness, anybody tailed to register they would
be permitted TO swear in their votes on
election day Although a clause to this
effect passed both houses of the last Legis-
lature, and appears in both journals, for
some unsceonntsble reason it fails to ap-
pear in the enrolled copy of the law or in
the printed copy.
This omission disfranchised very large
number of votes. In 1883 the total vote
cast was 1S,000, Carey tRep.), for delegate
in Congress, receiving majority OF 942.
At this hcur 90 P NJ it is very difficult
to tell much about the result. Some of the
precincts are over $50 miles from the
county seats, and comparatively little can
be heard from them. The Republicans
claim the State by 1,500, while the Demo
