MOORE BROTH ERS' FAILURE.
| The Situation Does Not Alarm Bankers
Their Properties Still Sound.

Chicago, Aug. 4-The interest of the
banks in the failure of Moors Brothers
is primarily confined to keeping the
market value of Diamond Match and
New York Biscuit above the figure
which represents the money loaned per
share on the security of these stocks.
In the case of Diamond Match the
loans were on a basis of 120 to 1870, and
the opinion of the bankers is that the
intrinsic worth of Match Is above these
figures.
Bankers are not disposed to speak
definitely on the situation till the gov
erning committee of the exchange has
been heard from, but all interviewed
commended the closing of the change.
The Commercial Loan and Trust and
the Illinois Trust and Savings banks
are believed to be the largest holders
of the two stocks as security for loans,
but they are not alarmed at the out
look Other banks have a few small
loans with good margin of security,
or no loans at all, and therefore are
only indirectly interested in co-operat-
ing to prevent further failures.
Diamond Match and Biscuit are
still good properties" said j. H. Moore
to-day. ''I am not prepared to make
statement either Of liabilities or assets.
because / do not know what they are
myself. I will say this: Moore Brothers
are not broke; they are simply tempo
rarily embarrassed and will pull
through all right The bankers and the
exchange will protect U.S. Diamond
Match is good property and worth more
than we claim for it. Its earning ca
pacity has not nearly been reached.
We shall make statement as soon as
it can be prepared"

passed a bill allowing the children of

energetically protested against their
children having no school facilities for
learning their own language, the only
language recognized in the schools be-
ing Dutch.

Security Markets Characterised by a
 Better Tone Yesterday.

Security Markets Characterised by n
 Better Tone Yesterday.
 New York, July 822.-rThe security markets to-day were characterized by better tone and the efforts of the belated bears to check the rising ten- dency proved abortive. The latter made a vicious raid on Jersey Central in hopes of starting liquidation afresh, and the stock was forced down from 9OA to STA. The general list refused to sympathize, and late in the day, when the stock named got back to 92, the bears were again buyers.
 The strength of the market resulted partly from the success which has at tended the bankers plan to sustain the treasury gold resrve, nearly eight mill lions of the gold pledged having been deposited at the sub-treasury up to 8 o'clock, and partly from the announce ment that the foreign bankers were willing to cooperate with local capi- talists in this important matter.
 It will be the work of the latter to check gold exports by supplying the urgent wants of remitters until the crops begin to move, in about sixty days iron, now. That the street is firmly convinced that this can be ac- complished is probably best attested by the way the engagement of $2,00O,O00 gold for export tomorrow was receiv- ed These heavy withdrawals caused scarcely ripple of excitement and had not the slightest influence on stock val ues At the opening the market was also sustained by purchases of ten thousand shares of international stocks for London account.
 Our securities ruled fractionally higher there, which was an agreeable surprise in view of the break here at the close yesterday. Pending definite statements from the conference of the foreign bankers at MT. Morgan's office, the market dragged, but when 1t was reported that an agreement to control sterling exchange had been reached prices advanced all along the line.
 The gain was equal to 1a@4A per cent. Jersey Central rose A, to 92; Lake Shore 4. to 1441a; Chicago Gas ssl. to 55: Sugar 314, to 105as; Burling- ton and Quincy 3A, to CT; Rock Island 25s, to 56ss; Western Union 2as, to 79as Manhattan 2a. to 96A; New York Cen tral 29s, to 9S7s; Leather preferred 2s4 to 47A; Tobacco PA, to 5Sa; Northwest 12, to 95A, and Consolidated Gas 21s, to 146. Speculation closed strong and confident. Net changes show gains oi A G34 per cent.

 It will be remembered without doubt that Walter Scott was arrested several months ago for selling liquors without license and that his stock of liquors was seized and stored in the base ment of the town hall building. We understand that the courts have de- cided that Scott can claim the liquors that he had stored in his cellars, and what was upstairs or in the bar was to be destroyed, Scott having paid his fine. As we understand the liquors were moved to his house Tuesday af- ternoon. The court has decided that the town of Cheshire will have to pay for the prosecution and the cost of the courts. which will amount to several | hundred dollars.
