The stock brokerage firm OF ]. II. Crane
G. Co., doing business in the Corcoran
Building. closed its doors yesterday aft
ernoon shortly before 5 o'clock and an
nounced failure. No particulars of the
condition of the firm were made public,
but it is understood that the losses of
its customers are not large and that
there will be an effort to settle them,
partially at least in a few days.
The firm has been in existence since
September of last year, and has done
d fairly large business. 1t has not done
a commission business" and it is said
that the recent large advance in stocks
has been too heavy a drain on its re-
sources. nearly all the traders being on
the long side of the market.
The following notice of the suspension
was posted on the stock blackboard a
few minutes before the closing hour yes
terday, when the firm could no longer
pay up its accounts:
"Ali open trades will be closed at
closing prices today. and settlement made
as soon as possible
cupied by Hodgen & Co. When that firm
closed up its business Mr. Crane pur-
chased the Office furniture and secured a
large part of the Hodgen custom.

shop method of business to give its Gus

change. Also deals for so We're taken
For this reason it was popular with the
small spectators, who were not able
to do business with the more legitimate
brokers. A large number of clerks in the
Treasury Department were among its
customers.

of stocks has been expected by the public.
and everybody who did business with the
firm was buying for the rise Several
thousand dollars have been paid out in
profits to customers within the last two
months.
1t is said that the small spectators of
Washington are the shrewdest in the
country outside of New York. No bucket
shop run in the city within the last two
years is believed to have made money.
There have been eight failures during this

WEST END NATIONAL BANK.
President Stevens Desires to BE Re-
elected President.


President Stevens, of the West End Ma
tional Bank. has announced his intention
TO be a candidate for reelection. II Is
understood that there is little IL any op-
position to him among the stockholders
Of the bank and that his reelection is as
sured. This is supposed to settle the ru-
mors that have been floating in business
circles that there is to be change in the
management of the bank.
There was a meeting of the board OF
directors of the bank yesterday afternoon
During the meeting President Stevens
made the announcement OF his candidacy.
He made a short speech alluding TO the
rumors that have been circulated and
stated that it seemed to him fitting that
he would voluntarily retire from the
banks management.
The statement was made to a reporter
of The Times yesterday by one of the
directors of the bank that there is likely
TO be some minor Encouragement in the
affairs of the institution, including the
change of one of the officers. 1t is un-
derstood that the control of a large
amount of business from one of the street
railroads is involved In this change, and
that the stockholders expect a consider
able increase of business and consequent
prosperity TO follow.

STOCKS SHIFT STRENGTH.
The IndustriaIs and specinlties All
sOrb Interest,

sOrb Interest.
New York, Dec. 2.-Today's stock mar
ket showed further shifting of specula-
tive interest into tha Industrial shares and
the specialties. or at least the latter were
notably active at the expense of the
standard issues. 1t is question whathsr
this should be regarded as healthfui
sign or not. Activity in the class of stocks
the quotations for which covered the tape
today often indicates the elimination of
general upward movement in the mar
ket For the most part 1t was difficult to
assign specific reasons for the activity
in the specialties today. In one instance.
that of Pacific Mail, interest was possibly
stimulated by the excellent statement of
earnings submitted by the company
Sugar Refining was a conspicuous fea-
tures of the market. The stock advanced
further at the opening, but subsequently
it broke very sharply. Ostensibly the
cause of the decline was a further reduc-
ton in the prices of refined sugars. but
as other cuts earlier in the week were
concomitant with advances in the stock,
the explanation seems hardly adequate.
AS for trade conditions, all authorities
agree that the present margin between
the prices of raw and refined sugars per-
mits of no profit TO the manufacturers.
Other conspicuous contributors to the
days total transactions were National
Linseed Oil. the Rubber and Leather
shares. the Federal Steel issues. Brook
lyn Rapid Transit and American Spirits.
In the main these stocks We're strong, In

active. These stocks, together with the

AIRY. Among the higher priced stocks, Ed
ison Electric Illuminating and Metropoii-
tan Street Railway were notably strong.
and antithetically Consolidated Gas and
Manhattan Railway were reacdonaiy. The
granger shares and the other standard
issues were comparatively dull. Union
Pacific common was heavy on prospective
increase in the stock involved in its ex-
change for Oregon Short Line The pre-
ferred stock was naturally unaffected by
the proposed transaction. Foreign houses
had fairly large orders in the market, and
on balance We're buying to the extent of
about l0,o00 shares. No important changes
appeared in any features of the general
situation to account for the reactionary
course of the market. The market closed
at about the lowest prices of the day.
The times., 1898-12-03

The market is one in which II would be
foolhardy to buy stocks. There is the
clearest evidence that the large interests
have all got out completely and that the
public is now the only buyer, with the
exception of the pools which are pushing
up a few stocks in order that they may
get out at an advanced figure. The lack
of trading in standard stocks yesterday
was ample evidence of this. The grangers
and other stocks of that character were
neglected Even the public is now shy
and its buying yesterday was far from
satisfactory. Any day may see the be-
ginning of bad slump, and it seems i'm
possible that it can be averted much
longer. The course of the market yes
terday was downward from an opening
that was above the close of Thursday.

ANOTHER CUT IN SUGAR.

ArbuclSlc Brothers Reduce the Price
Of GranuIated to BIG Cents.
New York. Dec IA reduction of l-l6 of
a cent pound was made by Arbuckie
Bros. today in all grades of refined
sugars. This brings the firms price for
granulated to 5s-16c pound, or. with
the usual trade discounts, to 4.9O cents.
Neither the American Sugar Refining
Company nor the Doscier Refinery met
the cut publicly by reducing their posted
prices. but it was understood in the
sugar district today that both these in
terests were shading prices Lice to con-
form with the price made by the Ar
buckles.

New York, Dec. 2.-Dun's weekly review
of trade tomorrow .rill say:
The report of failures for the month
of November is extremely gratifying be-
cause it shows not only decrease in
number and smaller amount of liabiIi-
ties than in any other month excepting
three Summer months since the monthly
record began. but because careful analy-
sis shows a striking improvement both in
the small and in the large failures and in
nearly all classes of industry and trade.
Considering that failures are usually
smaller in Summer months than in No
vember. the monthly return may be con-
sidered about the best ever made, and
shows a condition of financial soundness
rarely surpassed.
The revival of gold imports, si,o00. coo
