uorrr Bank Goes Under.

PIrTsBURa. Nov. THE Cory bank
failed today. The deposits are close to
$500, 900. The failure is due almost
entirely to the tact that the bank has been
carrying a large amount of paper Tor bust
ness men in this section and in the lum-
Der country who have been unable to meet
their obligations. The bank has a branch
here which was a very important source
OF revenue About a month ago the
comptroller decided the branch must close
up IN accordance with the policy not to
allow branch banks to do business. This
move would deprive the main bank of a
large line of business and would hurt them
seriously in their present condition and
they feared 1t would cause a run they
could not stand. The fiocers say the
depositors will get every dollar due them.

SAN Francisco, Nov. Z.-Shipping
men and wheat operators state that never
in the history of San Francisco has there
been such a large amount OF tonnage in
the port under charter at any one time
until Yesterday. Sixty nine vessels with
a registered tonnage of $50. 900 tons are
in port under charter while nine other
vessels of an aggregate OF 5000 tons are
~disengaged and available for wheat car
rying. The actual carrying capacity of
all these vessels is 220, 900 tons. Fifty
eight vessels were chartered to arrive
here, charterers agreeing to pay as high
as forty five tons to the United kingdom,
for the Havre or Antwerp, and very few
are made at less than forty
shillIngs. but as thirty-fve to thirty-seven
is the highest rate talked of at
present, the spectators will have to for
felt their charters, and recharter the ves-
sels at a heavy loss or load them with
wheat which at the present rates in Liv-
would have to be sold at equally a
heavy loss. 1t is reported that one promi-
nent dealer stands to lose about $500 900
either way. The operators estimate the
crop of the Pacific coast states, Idaho
and Utah for this year will yield about
S57 900 tons available for export.

of man who was with Prisoner Beattey
the night the girl died. and that they

said to be a constant companion OF
