Earle -OIcott Reading Committee SO De-
clare- That of October Is,

NEW YORK. Dec. 1.-The Earle-Ocett
Reading Committee held a meeting to-
day and declared the readjus'ment agree
ment of october LIST Ineffective, as only
30 per cent. of the junior securities had
been deposited. There had been $3lWl,OO
general mortgage bonds deposited, a ma
iorltv of about $1,000 600, and the commit
tee instru0 ed the trustee of the mortgage
tc begin immediate proceedings .Or the
foreclosure of the mortgage. II was also
decided to receive further deposits Of
bonds without penalty but the coupons
will not be purchased on any bonds which
were not deposited before January !, 1893.
Before the foreclosure sale the commit
tee will submit a plan of reorganization.
as provided in the agreement of May
Eth. by the original OlcOtt committee.
The foreclosure sale can be averted by
accepting that plan, which Will provide
for a participation in the reorganized
property for all JUNIOR security holders
who assent. Special recognition viii be
offered 10 those who have deposited their
junior securities and stock before Feb
ruary l. 1885. Pending the announcement
of the plan deposits of junior securities
will be received, which may at any time
be Withdrawn. Unless stockholders VINO
have already deposited their shares with
the committee and given them proxies
shah withdraw. the proxies will be voted
I'm favor of the present management. II
is believed that the following assessments
may be determined on i'm the proposed
plan:
First preference income bonds. per
cent: second, 10 to II per cent; third.
l. to i6 per cent: stock, ~ per cent. The
Income bonds may receive new securities
for the assessment.

CHICAGO. ILL. Dec. Sl.-There was
the usual boisterous horse-play on the
Board of Trade to-day. For years this

anticipation of it.
II was understood that the directors
had taken measures 10 squelch any move
ment of disorderiy character In It's
incipiency. and for a long time there
was more than the usual quiet and
strict attention. Suddenly, as ii by pre-
vious arrangement. at 1880 o'clock. a
howl went up from all the pits. AT the
same instant a bombardment OF bags OF
-four and sample grain commenced.
Everybody scattered at the first yolley
and the business of the day came to an
abrupt end.
Men sought shelter under tables In
secluded corners and in the wash room.
But the fire from the more or less Skin
mishers was kept up and the neeins
crowd was followed and peited without
mercy. For half an hour the fun was
kept up, and only ceased when the am
munition was exhausted.
