BOARD OF TRADE FAILURE.
Barrett, Fnrnum & Co., of Chicago
Sold Too Much Wheat Short
This Week.

CHICAGO. Sept. 21.-The firm of Bar
rett. Farnum & Goa wealthy and In
fuenti1l board of trade concern here failed
to-day. The firm sold heavily short during
the past three days. plunging In the ex-
pectatfon that the New York stocks panic
would result In a break In wheat. The
shortage Of the. firm is variously estimated
at from 100000 to 100000 bushels of the
December option.
II was noticed yesterday that Barrett.
Farnum & co. were heavy buyers-,he
heaviest In the local pit. taking in about
a million In an effort to cover. The price
held firm with n strength that puzzled
the theorists in view of the bearish tone
of news.
Again this morning brokers representing
the hrm were busy on the curb and in the
pit; but all efforts proved of TO avail.
The crash came at IL o'clock when the
deals went into the clearing house.
Barrett. Farnum & Co. I'm a hastily
scrawled notice. announced the inability OF
the firm to fulnll It's contracts.
Then the scene I'm the pit took on the
tone Of panic. The December option had
opened at Il&H1lfsc and the market slid
quietly off under sales against calls to
Il12c. At this figure Barrett. Farnum 4;
Go. renewed their efforts to cover. The
price jumped fractionally to I2c Then came
the announcement Of the abrogation OF the
firms contracts and the scramble TO get
H@c without even an effort at recovery.
Meanwhile, Messrs. Barrett, Farnum &.
Co. had closed their doors. James Walker.
manager Of the concern. when seen de-
clared that he was as much surprised
anyone at fbe suspension, and gave as
his opinion that the firm would be able
TO regunne business, inasmuch az the sub
siding Of the panic had left wheat fuct-
uating narrowly.
1T is Impossible 10 gay lust what the Ia
bilities re." said Mr.. Walker. "or the
assets, either, for that matter. but with
wheat at the present figure | believe that
the ship is not at the bottom yet. but
just little water-logged."
Frank q. Logan. prominent broker. de-
clared, in speaking Of the failure that the
shortage could only be npproximated but
wa probably 100000 bushels of wheat.
