Phil Armour Talks.

Chicago, Aug. 4.-The governing com mittee of the stock exchange held sec ond meeting this afternoon, but accom-, plished nothing. They adjourned until tomorrow at noon to await the statement promised by J. H. Moore of the finances of Moore Bros. and their dealings in Dla- mond Match and New York Biscuit stock. It was decided that it would not do to re- open the exchange until the Moore tangie is strengthened out. Offers were made around town during the afternoon Tor patches of Diamond Match stock all the way from 165 to 175, but nobody seemed to care to sell.
 P, D. Armour, who Is supposed to De one of the heaviest holders of Diamond Match stock, took hopeful view or the situation when seen today. He did not think that the failure of Moore Bros. would affect any other securities than Diamond Match and New York Biscuit, and over these he does mot expect any panic. MT. Armour said: All the banks have agreed to make no calls on on the stock until arrangements can pc made, and the private individuals wno hold stock are all rich men and able 10 carry 1t, and so see no cause for appre- bpnsinn.o

operation field was the organization Of the Frazer Axle Grease company, which was a great success, and which gave them a strong backing of rich men. Then they organized the great Diamond Match company, which has also been. re- markably successful. The New York Biscuit company and the American Strawboard company was organized by them also:
 The Moores lost their hold on the last named company two years ago, when the stockholders Tevolted against their man agement. The Moores were believed to be very rich up to the time of their fail ure Their failure is believed to be en- tlrely a personal one, and members of the Chicago stock exchange advance thu opinion that the shares of the Diamond Match and New York Biscuit company will not be materially affected by 1t, as both concerns are known to be in first class condition. w. V. Baker of A. O. Slaughter & Co., states that Diamond Ma tch is earning between IS and 20 per cent and paying 10, whilst New York Bis cult pays per cent and earns considera- ply more.
 MT. J. J. Mitchell, president of the 1lli- nois Trust and Savings bank, says that there Is little doubt that pool will be formed to take care of the Diamond match stock. MT. Mitchell said this morning: "There is no inclination on thepart of bankers here to press matters, as the stocks are good holding dn tnem- selves The committee appointed by the governing committee of the stock ex- change will undoubtedly be able to make terms, but until everything is arranged the stock exchange will not be opened. I do not consider the failure Qf you so call iD of any great importance as af- fecting values. It is simply case of inability on the part of the Moore Bros. to put up any further margins and that is all there Is to it. The Chicago stock ex- change in itself amounts to very little outside of a local speculative value. Its influence Is slight"
 It is believed that an effort will be made to syndicate the Diamond Match stock, now out at ITO. If such action IS taken the danger of possible failures re- sulting from the collapse of the Moore Bros. will be very much lessened. Chi cago banks who hold approximately $4, ,O00, 900 worth of Diamond Match stock as collateral for money loaned will not press borrowers for settlement. To do so might precipitate panic
 At the big stock broker offices there was a general feeling of uneasiness, the big failure having stunned and surprised every body. No business was being done in local securities and the inquiries from the country were for information as to the latest phase of the situation. Others asked if there was trading on the curb, but a negative answer was returned to all, and the apprehensive ones were as- sured thatt there were no immediate prospects of any other firms being 1n- volyed in the crash Among the brokers there was only approval of the course or the exchange officials in closing the ln- Stitution temporarily.

At Montgomery.

Montgomery, Aug. 4--It was hard to tell whether the game today was a greater exhibition of ball playing or wrangling. It was admitted that Mobile has had the benefit of every close decis- ion In both games, yet Fisher quarreled with the umpire in a disgraceful manner. In the first half of the ninth Wiley hit safe and stole second. Lohbeck claimed that Dillard, who went to bat for Man gan in that inning, interfered with him when he tried to throw to second to catch Wiley, and because the umpire could not see 1t that way Fisher called his men off the field and quit the game, which was given to Montgomery.
