DAYS LIST OF FAILURES
Merchants Bank, OF Atlanta, Ga, ut the
Head of the List.

Atlanta, Ga. Oct 1.-THE Merchant 8
bank, one of the Oldest and for many
years soundest financial institutions IN
| this CITY, closed its doors this morning,
| having made an assignment for the
| benefit OF its creditors. j. q. Oglesby
and George W. Scott are named as as
signees. The failure was not unex-
pected in financial circles, but it's an
nouncement created considerable ex-
element among bank deposi5ors, a large
crowd of whom quickly gathered about
the unopened doors.
A notice posted on the door simply
stated that the bank had assigned to
J. G.. Ogiesby, George w. Scott and
George Winsilip, and that il was believ-
ed that all dapositorS would be paid m
full.
The failure of the bank was due to the
withdrawal of deposits within the last
few days caused by a rumor to the ef
feet that Tax Collector A. p. Stewart,
who had $40, 900 on deposit there. had
been asked by the bank officials not TO
check any of his money out. The Of
ficials deny that any such request was
made.
All of Stewards checAs were honored.
He withdrew the s49, 900, and that, cou-
the rIInor, occasioned embarrassment
and it was deemed best to go into hqui-
dation.
The amount owned depositors is $780,
600. There is no run on any Of the
other banks.
Houghton, Mich, Oct. 16.-The Stur-
geoD River Lumber company, the larg-
est and oldest numbering concern in the
Copper district, has been placed in
charge OF E. L. Wright as trustee for
mortgages. The differences Of the COM
pany are due exclusively to the depres-
sion IN their lumber trade and inability
TO collect outstanding accounts.
Wilimantic, Conn.,. Oct. 16.-Owfng to
a. run on the Willamette Savings Ins.i-
tute, during which $4,000 has been with
drawn, the directors of the bank today
issued a statement in which they am
nounced their intention of taking ad
vantage of the fo1r-months notice law.
The cause Of the run IS yet unknown.
Little Falls, n. Y, Oct. 16.-F'reeman,
Ives & Co.. produce dealers. have as
signed, Liabilities and assets and the
cause Of the failure are as yet I'M
known. The firm was rated at from
$50, 600 to 100000.

New Produce Organization seeks 9Or
Favorable Freight Rates.

Chicago, Oct. 1.-THE butter, egg
and poultry shippers, in session today.
devoted their time to the discussion of
the proposed laws TO govern the national
association decided upon yesterday.
The organization was completed at this
afternoons session. One of the re-
forms aimed at by the shippers is 10
secure a change in railroad methods
giving TO carload shippers a preference
over small shippers. The roads west
of Chicago make the preference, but
those east have a level rate. The
western men say htey are placed at
a disadvantage in the eastern markets
by reason of the level rate.
