Out OF the Market.
CHICAGO. Dec. 2O.-Dennis Z. Sibley,
one of the oldest and bcst-known board
OF trade dealers, was forced to make an
assignment yesterday for the benefit Of
MS creditors. The failure, though not
wholly unexpected, caused consterna-
tion on the board.
In round numbers Sibley's liabilities
VIII reach 100000. His assets are as
yet undetermined, but 1t is thought
tney VIII not exceed $4,000, but possi-
bly, may reach 800, 900.
The failure, 1t is said was due to a
slump in the corn market. Mr.. Sibley
had been buying corn heavily for De-
ceinber delivery in New York, expect-
lag that when navigation closed freight
rates would'go up,and with them. conse-
quently, the price of corn andother
cereals. Accordingly he was caught
with 100000 bushels of corn when the
Wv tiiN iitlRhO TdlcH III TWO ana
the bottom fell out of the market.
Board of trade men would assign the
failure to an attempt by Sibley to
corner the corn market, but such an
attempt is denied by sibley. When
tho drop came his margins began to
pile up and inability to cover them
forced him into bankruptcy. BY the
failure list Of over forty Chicago
board of trade men are caught for sums
varying from s25,o0O to 81 1,O0O Logan

are among the heaviest losers.
Sibley has been operating on the
board for over twenty years. The firm
was once Eldridgc & Sbley, but Of
late he has been dealing alone. Until
a short time ago lie was president of
the Siblcy Elevator Co. Mr. Sibley's
credit has always been good and he
was considered wealthy man. The
assignee is Mr. w. a. Drymonr. II

by the majority of the creditors to act
for Mr.. Sibley.
Not until shortly before noon did Mr..
Sibley determine that an assignment
would be necessary. Tho action was

was prccipitated by suits brought re-
comfy by Il few of the heaviest crcdi-

Only Wanted Cash.

The iron safe in the office OF J. II.
Gregg, grain merchant, in the board of
trade building, St. Joseph, was opened
by burglars few nights ago and few
dollars taken. Notes aggrcgating 81, 900
and other papers were carefully re-
placed. The crook experts toyed with
the lock Of the safe until they got on to
the combination. The opinion prevails
that they were Chicago or st. Louis
crooks.
