Boston, Sept. 21.-There is not as much
activity in the butter market as a week
ago, but prices are fully as firm, and the
strength Of the general situation is un-
impaired. Buyers are less eager for
supplies, because they filed UP pretty
well last week, but they have been
operating TO a fair extent, and there Is
little or no accumulation of fresh stock.

and buyers are not very anxious for it
at that. Receivers who have fancy in

few and far between, and sell mostly in
a small way. Fresh creamery in boxes
sells at 241a to 25 cents, and the best can
not be bought for less than % cents. A
quotation, therefore, of 2319 to "a cents

meats are unchanged in price. with a
fair demand.
The marketing of hogs continues to
show a deer ease. in comparison with last

100 pounds higher than year ago.

The case of Jefferson, charged with

morrow. There S a new point
in the case, this being as to
whether proof of the dying dec
laration Of Barnes to his little
son., who was in the buggy with him
when the fatal shot was fired, is COM
petent evidence. The attorney general
Will put it ON the ground of motive.
Evidence was given by a newspaper

ed, as a result Of such examination,
that every depositor will b. paid in
ful1, and that a large surplus will re-
main for the stockholders. The diff
culties of the are the result
OF the locking up of al undue proper
ton of it's funds in loans not immedi-
ately realiZable and which it is be-
lieved will eventually realize a very
large percentage of the amount loaned.
The committee is endeavoring to eff
feet arrangements for the early pay
ment of the depositors and also ex-
poets to issue a fuller statement at a
latter date"

duce Exchange Trust Company, of
New York. as is also ]. Shelton Will
liams, Of Richmond, Va, who is pres
ident of the Seaboard Air Line Rail-
road Company. Mr.. Middendorf, speak
ing of the failure, said: "Of curse
the news of the failure is most unwel-
come, but it will not be so far-reach-
ing as some people suppose. The af-
fairs of the concern were recently in
vestigated by an expert and found to
be in good condition; hence, l believe
the suspension has been brought about
by the unsatisfactory state of the mon
ey market. The company was inter-
ested as a subscriber to the syndicate
formed for the financing of the pro-
posed re~organiZing of the Seaboard Air
Line, but it's suspension will in no
way impede the progress of that reOr-
g~aniZation, which is now practically an
accomplished fact"
SUSPENSION OF HENRY AL
LEN & CO.
New York. December 1S.-The sus-
pension of the firm of Henry Allen &
Co, bankers and brokers, was today

has been known as a trader on rather
an extensive scale.
