GRAIN House
HAS TO CLOSE
Wheelock & Go. Suspend
Business Here and Else
where.
Continuous Rise in Markets
Forces the Firm to the
Wall
Liabilities Large, but Unknown-May
Make Payments Next Mon
day.

Wheelock & Co. of Leidesdorff street,
brokers in Chicago grain and provisions
and New York stocks. suspended opera
tions yesterday loren oon.
Not only the main office closed, but the
several branch offices in this City and the
branch offices in Oakland, San Jose Sac
ramento, Stock ton, Los Angeles and San
Diego also suspended.
The action OF tine firm is due to an in
ability to realize on securities enough
money to pay customers that have been
trading in grain, provisions and stocks on
a steadily rising market. The nature of
the company's business, dealing, as 1t was.
with very large number OF small pur-
chasers, has been q risky one. Its profits
come when the market goes against the
C lent. 1t suffers clear loss, equivalent
to the in crease, when the market favors
the client. Latterly prices have steadily
risen not only on wheat, hut on sugar, to-
bacco and other staples. Under the cir
cumstances it is not surprising that the
company has had to call halt
The liabilities are not known. They are
supposed to be somewhere between $25.-
000 and $50. 900, for the company has been
carving daily, it is said, an average of
$50 600 bushels.
The com pany, though engaged in what
is generally known as bucket-shop busi-
ness and one th at So called legitimate large
brokers scorn, has for several years past
been very successful, and has built up
large clientage because of its prompt pay
ments.
There is possibility that the offices in
this City and in the other Californian
towns mentioned will resume business
next Monday.
Arthur ]. Wheelock. senior member of
the firm, was not to be seen yesterday, but
his cashier, Mr.. Kuehn, speaking for the
firm, said:
"Mr. Wheelock expects to resume busi-
ness at the main Office and all It's branches
on Monday next. He is now trying to
realize sufficient money for that purpose
on some securities. Should he be success
full every customer will be paid dollar for
dollar at to-day's prices for Chicago grain
and New York stocks. Should he not sue
ceed he Will settle at the closing prices of
yesterday, when the firm actually sus-
pended, and all creditors will be treated
tlike. In the latter case it is probable
that he will be able to pay as much as 70
cents on the dollar No new trades have
been accepted at any of the firms offices
to-day "

President Lowell's Novel Idea
for the Quarterly
Convention.
Hundreds of Delegates Will Gather
at Irvington Next
Sunday.

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALI
90S Broadway, Sept. 9.
The dark places of wickedness and of
Christian lassitude in the southeastern
portion OF the county will receive shock
OF spiritual earthquake next Saturday and
Sunday. The County Christian Endeavor
Union will hold its quarterly convention
on those days, and plan has been out
lined for arousing seven towns at once.
President George P. Lowell, being anxi-
Gus to mainta the increased interest re-
sulling from the late international con-
vention, has devised a new plan for the
quarterly convention. On Saturday next
there will be conferences simultaneously
at Decoto, Avarado, Niles, Newark,
Warm Springs, 1rvington and Centerville.
Their will be special leaders at each
these places and work helpful 10 the
organization will be discussed.
Hundreds of delegates from all over the
county attend the quarterly conventions,
and special excursions will be run from
Oakland 10 accommodate the large crowd
that will go from here, Alameda and
Berkeley. The delegates will be enter
Ia ned at the various towns, and some will
go in teams prepared to camp for the TWO
days.
On Sunday morning the question OF
abbath observance will be d scussed at
the churches, and in the afternoon all the
delegates will drive to Irvington and sew
eral union sessions will be held. Miss
Mindora l.. Berry will speak on her work
as State uperintenient of the missionary
extension field. TGere will lie confere noes
OF tho different official bod es and pas-
ket lunch. In the evening Rev C &.
Harriott and Mrs. Carrie Judd Montgom-
erv will deliver addresses.
The County Union has undertaken
very heavy task this year. After the inter-
national convention closed some criticism
was expressed regarding the raising of the
contribution from this county. Many
stated tat if Alameda could raise $500
for any special purpose it should be able
10 do it every year for foreign missionary
work Much was said about the matter
on both sides, and finally Pre- ~ident Low
ell settled the controversy by Announcing
that Alameda County would do as much
lor foreign missions Iext year S ii did for
the convention of 81.
This matter Will DC thoroughly discussed
a the approaching conven ion, and prob
ably plan Of work will be presented.

gus Broadway, Sept. 8.
The retirement of the Rev. S. ]. Carroll,
DID,, from the pastorate of the fashion
able EIghth-avenue NJ. E. Church, as re-
ported exclusively in to-day's CALL, has
caused much discussion in church circles
as it was generally thought that he would
remain to the end OF the term, which
would not be for another year. There is
as much difference of opinion regarding
his retirement as there is concerning the
choice OF his successor.
The Eighth-avenue Church is one of The
largest buildings in the city and in fash
ionsble part of town. 1t had a mem.
bership of several hundred when DR.. Car-
roll came four years ago and since that
time it has been gradually dwindling
away. The doctor came here from Stock
ton, where he served a very successful
pastorate, but in Oakland things did not
run smoothly from the first. DR.. Carroll
concluded that as its pastor be should be
the controlling spirit in the church or
ganiZation, and this is where, it is said, he
made q mistake.
There was lack of harmony among some
of the officials and the pastor was not
supported as he should have been. Un-
Ger such conditions church work did not
prosper and the membership gradually
fell away. de found the church burdene
with large debt, but in spite OF all OBJ
stacles he kept the church running in
fairly good condition. Of late, however,
troubles have multiplied and there has
been an increase OF dissatisfaction.
The pastor was asked by some to recon-
slider his decision, but he has stated that
under no conditions will he come back
At last nights meeting Trustee J. W.
Watson made speech and offered res )lu-
tions OF regret, which were passed without
dissent. The m Getting was the largest at
tended prayer-meeting ever held in the
church.
The official board of the church refused
to dIvulge the name of the man who W III
succeed DR.. Carroll. but it is known that
DR.. w. W. Case of the Howard-street NJ
i. Church of San Francisco and DR.. J. S.
Cantine of San Jose are sought. There is
q desire on the part of some to have Dr.
II. B. Heacock return, but this is hardly
likely.
1t is said that the condition of the church
at present is such that only an entire
ranger can succeed in restoring har-
mony.

boats which were am bilious 10 secure the
Macdonough cup.
A stiff breeze and mparatively smooth
water made yesterday an ideal day for
holding a regatta. A large crowd of spec
tators lined the Powell-street wharf, and
though unfamiliar with the names OF the
competing boats seemed to derive great
pleasure in watching the maneuvers OF
the yachts.
The course over which the race was
sailed was from stakeboat anchored off
Powell-street wharf to the Presidio shoal
buoy stake boat. and from there the boats
had a run before the wind to the Blossom
rock stakeboat. From that point they
sailed north for about three miles to
stakeboat anchored off the Berkeley
shore, thence back again to the starting
point, where the time of the smaller class
was taken. The small boats were per-
mitted 10 continue on the course if thev
wanted to compete for the MacGonough
cup. The large boats were obliged to
round the stakeboat at the Presidio buoy
second time and sail back across the
starting line, where they finished.
The little boats were first to start on
their journey. The two sIoops entered
were the Idler and the Doris, and what
might have been one of the prettest races
of the day was spoiled by the Idler's COM
mander mistaking the preparatory signal
for the starting signal and he crossed the
line An effort was made to recall the
boat, but he: crew were too engrossed in
sailing the boat and were therefore lis
quail fed. The Doris went over the line
at 1902 and followed in the wake of her
unfortunate rival.
In the 25 foot class all the boats entered
started. The Alert led the way, followed
by the Sea Fox, Flash, Phenicia and
Cupid. All these boats went over the
the exception of the Flash. The latter boat
came to grief on the reach from the Bios
som Rock stakeboatto the Berkeley shore.
A sudden squall struck her large main
sail, causing a strain on her SPAR which
snapped off close to the deck, and spelling
her chances of winning as up to The time of
the accident the California's representa-
tive was holding her own with the other
boats. Her crew cleared away the wreck
age and anchored until after the race, when
she was given tow.
Owing to his fathers illness, Commo-
dore Won Schmi did not enter his Whir-
wind in the thirty-fo class. The absence
of the boat and her commander was re-
GREETED. as the Whiriwind's chances OF
winning were considered excellent. In
this class the boats to start were the
Nereid, Amigo U. & l., Mignon, Fawn,
Papoose and Eolus. Great interest was
centerad in the race between The Amigo
ana Eolus. as the boats were commanded
by two of the best sailors among the
yachtsmen. Ex-Commodore Pew was in

REDUCED CARFARE.
Four Cents to All Parts OF the City
When Iwenty-Ffve Tickets
Are Bought.


OAKLAND. CAL, Sept 9.-The first
benefit to the public from the consolida-
ton of the street railways under the
management of the Realty Syndicate was
the enlargement of the transfer system.
The first of the month system of trans
fers was inaugurated that enabled patrons
to go from any road to any other part Of
the city on any other line. As the Hay
wards road paralleled the Alameda road
in East Oakland it was decided to sever
the transfer relations with the foreign
company and carry all of their traffic on
their own lines.
Now comes reduction in rates. In
stead OF the icke, the fare on all the lines
of the Realty Syndicate will be reduced to
cents. This is to apply to book-iorm
tickets, twenty-five tickes in each, ood
for as many rides, for 81. They will be
good on all lines and the Leona Heights
road pro rata. This means great saving
to heavy travellers.
The book tickets were tried two years
ago on the Grove-street lines and met with
general approval. Tney will go on sale
within q few days.

command of the Eolus when she de-
fested the Fawn for the perpetual chal-
lenge cup. and in this race had charge OF
the Amig Frank Stone, the builder OF
the Eolus, was in charge OF that boat,
and the result was that both boats re-
ceived the finest kind of handling. The
EoIu3 proved the faster boat OF the two
and gained lead over all her class. BY
winning yesterday the Eolus becomes
the possessor of the beautiful Mac
donough cup, which, aside from its in
trinsic value, is very much desired by
yachtsmen.
In the 44-foot class the Clara, Pride and
Speedweil started in what was considered
the prettiest race of the day.
The Clara's immense spread OF canvas
gave her great advantage over the other
boats, and she was therefore able to take
the lead, which she kept during the whole
race. The Speedwell went over the line
first, but before the FIRST leg of the course
was sailed the Pride had caught up with
her, and during the rest of the race there
was not hundred feet separating them.
On the run home the boats made o
beautiful sight coming along with all
together that the crews were able to con-
verse with each other. Near the finish
tie Pride, being inshore. got a puff of
wind which carried her across the line a
length ahead of the Speedwell. The
Pride was declared the winner of her class
on time allowance. The difference in
time between the Clara and the winner
was but eleven seconds.
The regatta was successfully carried
through by the following officers:
