Speculator I,
His Firm Forced to Assign, as tho
Crop Was Greater Than His

The Bond and Share Market Not Particu-

The News In Chicago.

New YoRK, Sept. 22.-S. v. White a. Go.
sent the announcement of thoir assignment
to the stock exchange this morning. The
members of the firm say their assignment
IL due to the corner in corn, and their in
terest in the stock or bond market is very
limited. 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
outstanding ON contract. The private for
tune Of 8. V. White, so long noted for sue
cess and boldness in his speculative deals.
is estimated at $2,000,0C0. A number OF
firms who were borrowing stocks from
White O. Co. received notice from them be-
fore the opening of business to-day to sell
the shares, and the market took the stock
with scarcely trsmor. The failure caused
but little excitement on the produce OK
change for the reason that but few of the
members were interested in the deals II
is stated it will effect Chicago principally.
The price of corn dropped one and half
cents at the news of the failure.
The office of the firm after the announce
ment of the failure was crowded with bank
ers, brokers and reporters, all trying to get
some information. This firm. however, had
no formal statement to make. It was
noted that for some time it had been pre-
pairing to meet the disaster, which was seen
to be inevitable when heavy deliveries of
corn began to pour in, and for some days
the firm declined to take any large depos,
it's. Before the formal announcement was
made that the firm had gone under, COM
missions merchants advised their custom
ers to be prepared for it. This advice
started heavy liquidation and caused the
first reaction that has occurred in the stock
market for six weeks; but Lnckawanna
which was always considered under Whites
influence, declined only one per cent. Fears
are expressed on many sides that other
houses will be involved, but members OF
the embarrassed firm say no other firm is
involved with them. The members of the
New York house are s. V. White and Frank.

An improvement in turbine wheels con-
sists in the application of rubber cushion
to its buckets, in such form as prevents
the dispersion of the jet into spray, which
occurs to greater or less extent upon strik-
ing a metallic surface. The motors are con-
tanned in a spherical case with fattened
sides, and the inlet pipe is forked to deliver
near the center on both sides of the motor
This delivery is into two chambers, or
reservoirs, on either side of the central
arms carrying the bucket rings and impart-
ing motion to the shaft. Each reservoir is
provided with four jet heads, one-sixteenth
inch in diameter, lined with bronze, making
"a delivery jets in each motor; these
streams, delivered at an angle ST 45 degrees,
strike upon the buckets contained in cold
rolled copper bucket ring, and each ring
contains 120 buckets. The reservoirs are
bolted to the frame, with lead gaskets be-
tween, and by the construction of the bucket
rings an excess of weight and all liability to
rust are avoided. AS compared with ordi-
nary wheels, those with the rubber covering
show difference of 30 per cent superiority.
The rubber, as thus applied. of course, does
not cover all the bucket, as the discharge lip
is left free.
