FAILS FOR MILLIONS.
English Bank Forced Under by Shrink

age in South Amer lean Securities.
LONDON, July 1S.-The English Bank
of the River Platte (Limited), whose Of
fees are at Is Saint Swithins' Lane, this
city, and of which A. Z. Smithers is
managing director, has suspended pay
ment in consequence of the failure of
the bank to secure assistance that was
expected to be received TO enable the
bank to tide over its troubles The diff
fcultles of the bank are due to the
locking up OF South American securl-
ties.
The capital of the bank is 81 800, 900,
half of which is paid in. The other half
of the capital is only applicable in the
event of the banks liquidation and can
not be applied to the purposes of bust
ness. The institution has q reserve of
D, 100000. During the past three years
the bank has paid a yearly dividend of
per cent.
The difficulty in which the bank now
hnds Itself arises from the impossibility
OF collecting debts due it in the Argen-
tine Republic in consequence of the
moratorium decree recently issued by
the Argentine Republic. Among the
directors of the bank are the Hon.
Carr Glynn and Lord George Hamilton.

VIVE AMERICAN PORK.
The French People May Now Eat 1t
When They Can Get 1T.

The French People May Now Eat 1t
When They Can Get 1T.
A Paris dispatch of the 18th says:
HThe decree resembling the prohibition
Of American pork, which takes imme-
date effect, simply enacts that the duty
on American salt pork, hams and bacon,
which paid 81 francs before the prohi-
bition, will now be 20 francs per 100
Lilos. In accordance with the
new tariff all prohibitions will be abol-
ished. The immediate application of
the decree is due to the persistent pres
sure brought to bear on United States
Minister Reid, and especially during the
last few weeks, when NJ. Ribot, minister
Of foreign affairs, who was hesltating
over the matter Of resembling the
prohibitions, finally agreed to do SO,
but wanted to postpone until the
whole tariff bill was passed and promul
gated. Mr.. Reid urged that if the gov
ernment postpone the resembling Of the
prohibitions until the end of autumn 1t
ought to pass special law without de-
lay. Mr.. Ribot introduced the project
in the Chamber of Deputies. M. Felix
Favre moved, at the end Of the sitting
on Thursday, urgency for the proposal.
Only one deputy, M. Lecour, Of
fered any hostile criticism of the
measure, and his remarks consisted
of a brief reference to the danger
OF trichinosis. M. Jourde, replying to
the speaker, treated the question of
trchinosis as an old legend unworthy of
regard as applied to American pork.
M. Meline, the chairman of the tariff
committee, explained that the decree
would simply promulgate two months
sooner the accepted tariff on salt pork

A st. Louis dispatch of the 18th says:
''The Knapp-Stout Lumber Company,

mors lately, has entered a new incorpo-
ration, with capital stock of S. 900, 900.

WILL WANT OUR WHEAT.
Europe WIN be Short, and Must Apply to

Europe WIN be Short and Must Apply to
Us.
WASHINGTON, D. c., July ia report
on the harvest prospects in France and
Europe has been received at the State
Department from Commercial Agent
Griffin, of Limoges, France. The Ma
tional Miilers' Association, of France,
the report says, has lust issued an esti-
mate founded on very carefully collect
ed data of the probable wheat harvest OF
France and Europe for 1891. In order
to meet the demand Of France
until the harvest is gathered
in 1892, it is necessary to see
how much wheat was yielded by the
crops of 1890 and the quantity imported.
The official figures of the yield for 1890,
given by the minister of agriculture,
are 119, 1862 hectolitres. There is a
monthly consumption Of 100000 hectic
litres, requiring for years supply 1885,
900, GOO hectolitres; about 10, 900, 900 hec-
tolitres are used for seed, SO that the
per annum is 100000 hectolitres.
This year there must be added to this
amount 100000 hectolitres, which is
required for resolving where the grain
has been frozen or injured, making to-
tai for this year of 12S 100000 hecto-
iitres.
The estimated yield of wheat for 1891
will be S2,779,000 hectolitres. This as
The maximum estimate, it will be 81 per
cent. less than the harvest of 1890.
Russia, Tunis, Egypt, Roumania and
some of the Danubian provinces will
nave fair harvest; in Hungaria it will
be below the average this year. The
estimates given by the millers, the re-
port says, are optimistic. Their desire
10 create the impression that there Is a
better supply than really exists has
manifest purpose: they want to buy
grain as cheaply as possible in
those fortunate countries that have
Of their abundance to export. In 1890,
1867, 1877 acres were soWn with wheat,
and the average yield was 1877 hectic
Etres per acre; 100000 hectolitres
we're used for seed, making not quite
eight bushels for fifteen bushels.
In conclusion the report says not only
France, but all Europe, is looking long
mgly to the wheat fields of the United
States. Last year many hoped that
South America would help supply the
deficit, especially the Argentine Repub-
lie, but to-day no mention is made of
those countries; all hope is built upon
cur UNITED States) harvest. The fact,
as recently stated, is that the bread of
Europe must come from America

Statistics of the Product of the United
States.
A bulletin relating to the production
of gold and silver in the United States
during the calendar year 1889, was issued
from the census Office to-day. The
bulletin shows that the production of
bullion during the year 1889 was:
Gold, 1,590,969 ounces-United States
coming value, $50, 1856, IA; silver, 81 1854,
Sol ounces-United States coining,value
see, 1896, 1888; total United States coming
value, 500, 2S3,732 In gold this is near
ly 2S per cent. of the worlds product,
and in silver Al per cent. The number
Of mines in the country, including
"claims" and locations" is nearly 100,-
600; of producing mines, nearly 10000.
Only 6,004 of these made proper returns
to the census bureau. Of these % pro-
duce over 100000 worth of bullion.
The expenditures during the year of
the mines was $63, 451 1876; total value of
plant, $3.50, 800, 566. From the statistics
it appears that the labor employed in
the actual production Of the precious
metals is better paid and more produc-
tive in fact than in any other industry

eide of Lena Weinberg, for thirty years
housek eeper of the old Huff House, and
the discovery after her death Of about
$4,000 in gold coin slowed away under
false bottoms in her trunks. With
this money she was about to re-
turn to Sweden, and had shipped
the trunks to Baltimore, but, in mo-
ment of insane frenzy, took her own
life just as the time arrived for de-
parture. The money was paid over to
her heirs in Sweden. Saturday even

his attention drawn to ali old piano

Lena. and, taking it to pieces, there was

HOPE FOR MRS. MAVERICK.
Relief That Liberal Victory Would
Tend to Her Pardon.


Tend to Her Pardon.
LONDON, July 18.-The monster COM
mittee which is interested IN securing
the release of the young and beautiful
Mrs. Florence Elizabeth Maybrick, the
American who was convicted OF poison
ing her husband, and is now under
going sentence of life Imprisonment,
is quietly but not the less earnestly con-
tinulng its work. During the past
month over 10000 names have been
added to q petition. Among them are
those of ladies prominent in the nobil-
lty and arlstocracy, of philanthro-
pists and Of educators. The work
will be continued indefinitely
or until the dissolution of Parliament.
The fact is recognized that Home
Secretary Matthews has so strongly
committed himself against the unfor-
tunate woman that it would be worse
than useless to attempt to induce him
to present the petition with any words
IN its favor, but it is believed that should
the Liberal party be returned to power
at the next general election, and Sir
William Vernon Harcourt, in accord
ance with the Liberal slate. take the
office vacated by Matthews, the petition
might be presented with strong pros
l%ects that It's prayer would be granted.
