EDWIN GOULD'S OPINION.

New York, Aug. 4.-Edwin Gould is
president of the Continental Match com
pany. the opposition concern to the Dla-
mond Match company.
Mr. Gould said today: "My opinion
is that the Moore failure will be Il severe
blow to the Diamond Match company,
as Judge Moore was the principal back
er of the stock in the Chicago market,
and although the speculation does not
always reflect conditions the very high
price 1T which he kept his Diamond
match stock undoubtedly gave great
prestige to the company i'll II business
way.
1T is only another case in which the
public has been misled as to the value
of stock ON account of the high point to
which speculation has carried it,
Mr.. Gould expressed his sympathy for
Judge Moore in his misfortune, and also
for the stockholders of the Diamond
Match company.
The following statement by The New
York Biscuit company has been given
out:
Since this company was organized
with Judge Moore at its head it has al
ways earned from & to 10 per cent an
nually on the capital invested. For the
five quarters up to July last we have fail
ed to declare II dividend.
"Our failure to declare dividends at the
expiration of those quarters was because
of the construction of new buildings nnG
which represent today between S3,OW,-
600 and 100000. One of the build
ings. at No. 10 Tenth avenue, cost about
81, 100000. Another new building has
been erected at Chicago. Both these
buildings drowned assets. Whom the

ARMING AND DRILLING.
Startling News Told of the Cleveland
Strikers.

Cleveland, Ohio, August IA start
ling piece of news in connection with the
Brown strike, which comes from an APP
parently reliable source, is to the effect
that the strikers are arming themselves
and drilling. 1t was said today that
forty members had organized company
last Saturday, elected captain and pur-
chased revolvers. The company drilled
Saturday evening and it was announced
that the purpose of the men was to
avenge the death of the two men who
were shot at different times in conflicts
between union and non-union men.
James OConnell, the head of the ma
chinist union, who was here in charge of
the strike and who helped to bring about
the settlement under which the men re-
turned to work, came to Cleveland today.
He was very much surprised and
chagrined to learn that the men had
struck the second time. He said he be-
lieved the company had entered into the
agreement with the men in good faith
and he was satisfied that the company

closed there will be an immediate resort
to resources of which we have no knowl
edge and which are accessible to strength

from the general stringency in the money
market, but we have every hope of soon
getting things upon their normal basis"
You have arranged, then, for money
from the banks?" Mr. Moore was asked.

saying that we will get over every trou-

The market for Diamond Match eX-
cited comment today, but thousands of
shares of stock were handled within
fluctuations of 12c. Calls for 100000
margins of Diamond Match, which could
not be realized, precipitated the failure.
That margins would not be forthcoming
was announced late in the afternoon and
then came the hasty call for meeting
at the house of l.. ID. Armour last even
ing At this meeting nearly every bank
in the city was represented, together
with the governing committee of the
Mr. Armour had an early inkling of what
was coming and that much of the trading
of the Diamond Match yesterday had
been for Mr.. Armour's account, but
this he denied at the meeting and said
that he had no suspicion of trouble until
about > p. m. The whole ground was
carefully gone over and it was agreed
that the only thing to arrest II panic was
| the closing of the Exchange. a resolu-
| ton TO that effect was then adopted.
The losers by the collapse of the Dia-
mond Match and New York Biscuit deals
will be the Moorcs and the spectators
who are long on the market. The loss
of the Moore brothers. it is estimated, is
between 100000 and S5OO0,O00. 1t
is supposed that in supporting the mar
ket the Moores were obliged to take 10
and 80 per cent of the entire capital stock
of the Diamond Match company. They
had no doubt of their ability to carry the
deal through, but the public. unloaded
on them to such an extent the Moores
had not dreamed of.

Further returns received up to tonight

large gains. The count in the big coun-

cities, but, official and estimated returns,
the latter based on reports received from
a majority of the counties reporting,
show that Johnston and the democrats

siXty-siX counties. Goodwin has fifteen
counties. Six of these have either not

THE EFFECT IN BOSTON.

Boston. Aug. 4.-Boston investors and
business men are not seriously affected
by the failure of Moore Bros. of Chica-
go. and the stock of the Diamond Match
company and New York Biscuit compa-
ny, as far as can be learned, is not held
to any great amount in Boston and vi
cinity. Boston bankers as rule do
not think the failure will have much eff
feet here. although it slightly depressed
the stock morket this morning.
Manager Edwards of the Diamond
Match company is in this city and said
the failure would not affect the business
of the company, Notwithstanding Mr..
Moore was its vice president.
The officers of the New York Biscuit
company thought its business would not
suffer by the crash.
