A FAILURE In GRAIN
s. V. White & Co. are Compelled
to Assign.
THEY BULLED THE CORN MARKET
Their Dealings were Very Extensive, They
Having Bought Some Millions of Bush
els-The Effect in Chicago.

NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-The announcement
OF the assignment and suspension of S. V.
White q Co., Of New York and Chicago
was made on the stock exchange this morn
ing. White says the failure is due to long
speculation in corn and not in stocks. The
Liabilities of the firm are very large, but
only few hundred shares of stock are out
standing on contract. No estimate can be
given yet. The climax of to days catas-
trophe has been approaching elimination
for the last two weeks. The news, which
had been carefully guarded, leaked out YES
terday afternoon after the closing of the
stock exchange. An assignment of the as
sets Of the embarrassed firm is then said to
nave been made, but not recorded. 1t was
only alter thoughtful consideration and a
very complete review Of the situation that
1T was decided to make an assignment for
the benefit of creditors. There are no con-
tracts outstanding on the stock exchange
ana no excitement was caused there by the
announcement. All the members of the firm
were at the Office and when the announce
ment OF the suspension was made E. G.
Stedman, as a friend, was authorized to
make the following explanation:
The cause of the trouble is due wholly
heavily long on September and October
corn and the immense receipts were too
much for it to stand"
The private fortune of S. V. White. so
long noted for the success and holiness of
his speculative deals, is estimated at
S2,O0O,O0O. A number of firms who were
borrowing stocks from White & Co. re-
celved notice rom that firm before the
opening OF business to-day to sell shares,
a r1a flya foa1 !,
a tremor. The failure caused but little ex-
cltement on the produce exchange for the
reason that but few of the members are
interested in the deal. 1t is stated it will
effect Chicago principally. The price of
corn dropped IA cents at news of the
failure.
The Office Of the firm after the announce
ment OF the suspension was crowded with
bankers, brokers and reporters, all trying
to get some information in regard to the
failure. The firm, however, had no formal
statement to make. 1t was noted that for
some time 1t has been preparing to meet
the disaster which was seen to be newt
able when heavy deliveries OF corn began
TO pour IN, and for some days the firm de-
cllned to take any large deposits. Before
formal announcement was made that the
nrm mad gone under, commission brokers
advised their customers to be prepared for
II. This ADVICE started a heavy liquidation
and caused the first general reaction that
has occurred in the stock market for six
weeks, but Lacka wana, which was always
considered under Whites influence, de-
clined only per cent Fears are expressed
on many sides that other houses will be in
Volved, but members of the embar-
rssssd firm say no other firm is involved
with them. The members of the New
York house are S. V. White and Franklin
