SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS

Il Alfred b. Avery's Shortage With His st.
Louis EmpIoyers-He ID . Forger, Too
All the Money Taken Within = 10
Days
ST. LOUIS, Sept 2s.-Wine, women
and bucket shops appear to have been
responsible for the downfall of Alfred
B. Avery, the trusted cashier of the
brokerage firm of Messmore, Gannett
& Co. in the chamber OF commerce
building. The police, sc far, have been
unable to get any trace Of Avery, and
it Is probable he succeeded in escaping
from the city, in spite of the fact that
every point of egress was closely
watched Wednesday night and Thurs
day.
Avery was with the firm for three
years and was trusted implicitly. T.
B. Morton, a member of the firm, says
that he has found additional amounts.
which increased the shortage from the
81, 200 at first announced to 5000. Mr..
Morton expresses himself as feeling
that the firm had been very fortunate
in not losing $4,000 or s10o, 000, in
stead of that amount.
1t has been found that Avery stole
the money by drawing checks for large
amounts, which had been signed in
blank. For instance a freight bill
would come in for $40. He would charge
up the correct amount on the bank
book stub and draw the check for q
cool 81, 900 and get it cashed at the bank
and put the money in his pocket. In
addition to this method he also forged
an Endorsement to a check for s.. 900
Monday and got the money on it.
This, so far, is the only forgery dis.
covered. Another way he had of do
ing up his employers was to tear a
check, which had been signed, from
the bank book, mark the stub void,
ill out the check and get what it
called for.
The firm say that Avery's stealings
were all committed within a few days.

tain offenders against the law are
transported. It is pointed out that
the Russian government does not inn
pose the death penalty for any crime
except an attempt against the life of
the emperor. Murderers and despera-
does generally are. therefore, exiled to
Lokolone, where their families are
permitted to accompany them and
where. il unmarried. wives are pro-

All persons on the island who are
unable to give a proper account of
themselves are regarded as suspicious
characters As the survivors of the
schooner Diana were unfamiliar with
the Russian language, they naturally
fell under the head of suspects" and
were retained in custody until they
were able to give q proper acsount Of
themselves. When this was done the
men. according to their own state
ment, were released.

NEW YORK, Sept es.-R- G. Dun &
Co., in their weekly review of trade,
issued to-day, say:
The full statement Of about 2,SOG
commercial failures for the third
quarter of 1895 will be published next
week, and will show liabilities of
about $50, 900, 0u0, Of which about ST..
900. 900 have been of manufacturing
and ST., coo. 900 of trading concerns
The weeks reports are highly en-.
couraging as to monetary matters.
although exports of gold still con-
tinue and also as to cotton manu-.
facture, but not as satisfactory re-
garding iron, wooden, leather or silk
manufactures.
Speculation in cotton has lifted the
price fve-eights during the past week
and quotations are so much higher
than at Liverpool that free exports
cannot be expected.
Nothing is clear about the iron and
steel manufacture. For the first week
in many months the average of prices
of iron and steel products show no
change whatever. though the demand
for finished products is distinctly re-
duced.
The exports of gold. though not sc
large as they were some weeks ago,
cause some disquiet in view Of the dis.
banding of the bond syndicate. Money
has gone to the interior rather large.
ly. and there is considerable increase
in volume of commercial loans.
Stocks have slightly declined for
railroads during the week, though the
market shows much stubbornness, and
trust stocks average 40 cents per share
higher than a week ago. but are now
growing stronger in tone.
Failures for the week have been ZIG
in the United States, against 235 last
year. and so in Canada. against IS last
year.

dropped out Of sight as mysteriously
as If the earth had swallowed her.
Both police and citizens have been on
