The barracks at the entranched camp

On the same semi-official authority it

BIG FIRMS FAIL.

A Decline, In the Price of Pork Pulls
Down Big Chicago Dealers.
CHICAGO, Aug, 9.-Six big board of
trade firms failed Tuesday. Pork fell
from $40 5 to $10.5o in forty-fve min
utes after the opening bid was made,
and panic reigned in the provision pit
The firms forced to the wall by
the big bear movement were: John
Cudahy, E. w. Bailey & Co., Wright &
Haughey, A. Helmholz & Co., j. G.
Steever &, Co. and the North Ameri-
can Provision company.
Efforts to learn the liabilities of the
embarrassed firms We're unavailing.
They were all busy closing their books
and could not tell even approximately.
But there was no disposition in any
quarter to conceal the fact that the
firms were chit hard'' and out of the
trading for the present, at least, though
it was thought likely that they would
be able to settle and resume bust
ness soon One estimate places the
amount involved in the crash at be-
tween s., ZOO. 900 and 100000. John
Cudahy one year ago was rated at ST.
600, 000 A. w. Wright has had varied
fortune Six months ago it is said he
was worth $500 j. G. Steever, one

ure would involve $3.50, 600. The other
concerns who acted for Wright are in
