FAILURE ON CHANGE.
William Young & Co, of Milwaukee
Go Under in Chicago.

Chicago, Jan. 26.-The board of
trade firm of William Young & Co..
237 Fifth avenue has failed. The
firm was one of the oldest on the
board and the failure caused conSid-
cradle excitement in the pits.
The firm has been in business in
Chicago twenty-five years and up to
1850 was one OF the heaviest firms
here and at Milwaukee. William
Young, after the announcement of
the failure, said that his liabilities
would not be heavy but that it was
impossible to estimate them. He said
that the fact that he was on the
wrong side of the wheat market was
principally responsible for the embar-
rassment. The firm will probably re-
sumo. The market was not seriously
affected by the failure.

definitely ecided that the next meet
ing of the Wisconsin Grand Lodge

ity of calling the Grand lodge to or
der, and adjourning to meet in Mil
