FAIL FOR A MILLION.
4 Crash that Startled Wall
 Street.
SAWYER, WALLACE & co. ASSIGN
An Agents Unwise Ventures and Lossesin
 Foreign Options the Cause.

over S1, ,OOO, 900 Lost in Pork Deal
 Trading for European Speculators With
 out Margin-Agcnts of the Firm iI
 Every Part of the wOrld-over Thirty
 Seven Years in Business.
 NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-Samuel A. Saw. yer, David l.. Wallace and Thomas Miller, comet r ing the firm of Sawyer, WslIses- x Co, cotton, coffee and pro- vision commission merchants, of No, Is Broadway, have assigned for the benefit of creditors to Marshall Ayres, without preferences.
 The assignment was a surprise on all the exchanges and on Wall street. The cause is the losses the firm have sus- tained in their foreign option business.
 The failure will undoubtedly reach into the millions, though at present it is impossible to make any Approxi- mate. Houses on Wall street say tho cause of the failure was the result of the efforts made by the firm co squelch competition in their commission busi: ness, by doing their commission busi- ness with European spectators with put @ margin, and at a small commits sion. In the pork deal last January the firm is said to have sustained losses of $1,000, 900 on this account. The claims for these losses against European speculators are among the nominal as- Fsets. It is estimated that the sum total of nominal assets will reach $l, ,750, ,00O, among which are included the $1, ,000,- 900 lost in the pork deal.
 Besides the New York and London offices, the firm had a branch in Louis vile, where their tobacco warehouse is the largest in the country.
 In addition to branch offices, Sawyer, Wallace & Co. had no less than 1S0 agents in every part of the world.
 In Berlin alone the firm had five agents. The firm in 1883 shipped three quarters of the total amount of wheat sent from this country to Germany.
 They were the largest shippers and handlers of tobacco in the world.
 The first whispers that there was anything wrong in the firms affairs was caused by the cable announcement that a Berlin agent of Sawyer, Wallace & Co. had committed suicide by shoot ing himself.
 The agent was Theodore Itzig, who } had represented the firm in Berlin for six years.
 Itzig began a wild speculation in lard and it went against him. When his funds had been swallowed up in margins Itzig shot himself.
 It is feared that the suspension may involve some of the smaller traders on the Produce Exchange, and develop ments will be watched with intense interest.

 A lady came into our store and asked the price of a certain Parlor Suit. We answered promptly seventy five dollars. "why" said the lady, "I visited the house of friend yesterday, and she has one like 1t. She told me she bought 1t here and paid ninety dolirrsfor it." An other lady came into the store to price a ChAmberset. It was forty dollars. "Well, we'll, l" said she, "Mrs. - told me her set cost sixty dollars, and so l thought l would come and see for myself." Now, ladies, we must tell the price of the goods on our floors when people come in to buy, and if some arc found out in telling WRONG story 1t Is your ow.i fault. In the first place, 1t is considered bad man. ners to ask anybody what he. or she paid for an article, but for HEAVEN SAKE IF You DoN'T TELL THE TRUTH DoN'T TELL ANYTHING, because such stories cost us thousands of dollars every year. Peo- pie know pretty near what goods cost, and if they believe your story we are put down as extortioners. IF WE HAVE BRouoHr THE PRICE or FURNITURE DOWN 90 PER CENT. IN SEVEN YEARS WE WANT THE CREDIT FoR IT. All we ask is jus Ace.
