INTO THE PIT.
Deacon White Is Pushed to the Wall
other Failures.

New YORK, May SIS. V. White has
failed. He says the drop in sugar was one
of the leading causes of his failure. He
was large seller on privileges, and his
present troubles were seriously affected
by the fact that as his puts were bought
right and left during the present crisis,
and the severe decline in prices, purchas-
ers had been enabled to put stocks to him
at prices far above the market. White
says he is unable at present TO give a
definite idea of his liabilities.
An evening paper says: "Havemyer,
the sugar king, has given S. V. White
s., 00O, 900, and he will resume business to-
morrow. He intends to settle with all his
creditors. 1t is believed his liabilities are
$500, 000.'
