THE GUENZBURG FAILURE.
Causes Of the Suspension Of the st. Peters
burg Banker.

ST. PETERSBURG, March 16.-The magni-
tude of the discounting operations between
the bankrupt GuenZbuTg and Warburg of
Hamburg has excited attention. For years
Guenzburg's credit has remained good, as
sisted by brilliant marriages of his daugh-
ters with the families of the Sassoons of
England and the Gntmans, the wealthiest
ironmasters of Austria. The failure is as
crIbed to bold speculations by Baron David
GuenZburg, President of the Paris branch,
who desired to develop the entente between
France and Russia, but failed to acquire a
firm foothoid Oh the Paris Bourse.
Several newspapers declare that favor
able settlement of the affairs of J. E Guenz-
burg, the Hebrew banker, is assured. He
claims $3.50 coo rubles assets over his liabili-
ties.
Guenzburg recently informed Vishne-
grandski, the Russian Minister of Finance,
of the embarrassed position of his bank and
requested an advance of 5000, 900 rubles,
Offering as security some valuable Ural gold
mines. The Minister was willing to oblige
the banker, but the Car fatly declined to
give his permission TO the transaction.
The banker was thereupon compelled to
suspend payment.
