QUIET ON STOCK EXCHANGE.
Expected Panic Over Globe Bank
Failure Did Not Occur

Boston, Mass, Dec. 22.-Another day
of unrest in Boston's financial circles
went by without incidents of start
ling nature. Not failure had been an
nounced when the stock exchange
closed this evening and the money
seemed easy.
When early would-be customers ap-
peared at the Globe bank they found
Receiver Wing in charge and the clerks
at their accustomed places. There was
no excitement for a time, but as bust
ness on the street grew to its height,
the bank was the center of attraction,
and many harsh words We're against it
and the officials.
On the market itself, the usual mirror
of the ups and downs of finances. hardly
good-SiZed ripple was created. Stocks
went down, but Boston brokers main
tained that quotations here followed
New York. Copper did not slump away
as predicted, their weakness hardly
touching the low-priced ones and
being on an average scarcely more no.
ticeable than for weeks past.
The Broadway National banks af-
fairs would have been lost sight of for
the time being had not the creditors of
the Squire company, the fortunes of
which are mingled with those of the
bank, met to outline their plans and to
form a committee of action. Some de-
manu- lot rtdGy cash was IIldue on lnc
market here by a Portland savings
bank on which a run was made, but it
did not disturb conditions.
Three-fourths of the Globe banks
stock, or Sl50,000. is held by Massachu-
setts savings banks, all of which are
good for the 100 per cent liabilities i'm
posed by law upon Individual stock
holders.
At the Globe bank today all the
for opening came, but the doors re-
mained closed and notice bearing the
signature of D. G.. Wing, temporary
receiver. gave the reason.
The stock market was expected to
feel the disturbance in conditions most
keenly, and many consultations were
held and some active work was done
in copper circles before the exchange
opened
The galleries of the stock exchange
were crowded today when business be-
gan. The market was weak at the
opening. Trading was very animated
and violent fluctuations in sugar were
recorded. Coppers were a trifie weak.
Montana dropping 5, but recovering
half of the loss almost Immediately.
United States Oil dropped pa, but rail-
lied quickly. The market showed good
support
Receiver Wing and President II. H.
Stevens of the Globe bank declined to
say anything about the situation today.
There was no unusual scene around the
bank, although a number of out-of-
town customers who came TO draw
money for Christmas were considerably
upset by the information that the bank
was closed.
The National Shawmut bank made
public the following notice: THAT
there may be as little Inconvenience as
possible to the depositors of the Globe

Fieadishly Tortured and Murdered
Soldier In Apia.

Berlin, Dec. 22.-OfficiaI reports re.
ceived by the government regarding
the crime of Prince Arenberg, who was
recently courtmartialed in German
Southwest Africa for killing a subor-

than the first reports indicated.

Boston, Dec. 22.-The closing of the
doors of the Globe National bank this
morning furnished another chapter in
to do with the United States Mining
company.
1t was from the presidency of this
bank that Charles H. Cole was prac-
tically forced to retire. short time ago
because of his methods of conducting
the bank, and it was because OF the
troubles in this bank that large guam
titles of United States stock were re-
Gently thrown upon the market with
disastrous effect upon the price of its
shares ana the shares of other copper
mines.
AS to the effect of the Globe National
bank suspension upon the general pool
ing plan of United States Mining stock,
Henry w. Williams, counsel for one
of the firms interested, said:
Il do not think the closing of the
bank will have an appreciable effect
on the plans of the committee, other
than, in my opinion, to clarity the
atmosphere and aid the work
AS to what will be done with the
shares that may be pooled, there is as
yet no definite knowledge, although all
sorts of rumors are abroad. The gen.

taken by the Standard Oil people be-
cause of their interest in contiguous
properties. and because of the interest
which Thomas w. Lawson has taken
in Strengthening out the affairs of the
men who stood sponsors for the mine.
Exchange For Utah Saock.
One rumored plan is for the Standard
Oil to issue more Utah stock and to
move it in exchange for United States
stock. Another rumor- is that the
Standard Oil people Will buy the stock
for cash, at from $3.50 to SIS a share.
Progress in reaching a conclusion is
not rapid. and Lawson shows no dis.
position to make any definite offer.
The experts report well on the United
States property. and in the judgment
of some the people who now own it
would do well to get at the actual
value of the mine and decide whether
it will pay them to buy the 80 900 shares
now in the treasury, and go at their
newly acquired asset simply as a busi-
ness proposition, and drop, for the
present at least, the plan of selling it.
The tip came from Washington today
to buy Utah at anything like the pres
ent price

All was others,
All will be others.

Little did Mr.. Stevens realize how
soon this would come true in his own
case In 1867 a stock company was
formed to carry on the business, for Mr..
Stevens had exhausted all his resources
in the construction of the plant The
capital stock was 100000. After MR.
Stevens debts had been Cancelled, he
had no capital left.
In January, 1871, Mr.. Stevens retired
from the concern, and the present or
ganization is as follows: President, NJ.
T. Stevens of North Andover: treas
urer, H. S. Shaw of Boston; agent, q.
P. Morton. The corporation is now
capitalized at $500 900. The corpora
tons selling agents are v. Nevins Co.
of Boston, with branch office in New
York
The plant is devoted entirely to the
manufacture of crash toweling, and the
entire product is sold in the United
States The annual output is 100000
yards and to do this each year is con-
sumed from 1900 to 1900 tons of fax,
which comes from Archangel and st.
Petersburg, Russia, the shipments be-
ing made all at once. To accommo-
date the large amount of raw material,
a large number of storage warehouses
have been constructed.
Huge water wheels formerly furnish
ed power for the concern, but steam is
now used, with a model engine room,
in which is an engine of large horse
power An electrical attachment with
the engine room, by which the power
can be instantly shut off, in case of ac-
cident, from any room, has recently
been installed. The plant is also well
equipped in case of fire, and has we'll
drilled fire department, with steam
fire engine and all the modern appli-
ances, sDrinklers, etc.
The corporation employs 500 hands.
and is the largest mill in the United
States devoted exclusively to the man
utacture of crash toweling. The old
water wheel was a mammoth one It
was 40 feeI in diameter, and had 200
horse power.
The plant consists of 450 looms and
5000 sDindles. The main structure is
207x70 feet, and five stories in height
1t has two wings in the larger OF
which is located the machine shop
which is the best equipped of any in
this vicinity. This wing is 110x40 feet
and the other wing, in which is located
the offices, is S0x24 feet These wings
are three stories in height. The old
mill. which is connected with the new
structure, is 113x36 feet. and the old
wheel house, a relic of former days is
74x3S feet. The bleachery is 221x40 feet
and a carpenters shop is S1x40 feet.
The plant is model one IN every
way, and well worth visit. Mr.. Nor
ton, the courteous and gentlemanly
agent. takes great pride in the plant
and everything is kept in frst-class or
der. AT present Mr.. Morton is in En-
gland buying new machinery with
which to further enlarge the plant and
increase its capacity The operatives
are paid good wages, and the COM
pany's tenenents are always kept in
frst-class order. During the recent
business depression, the corporation
generously reduced the rents of their
Operatives one-half. The. corporation
has also equipped and built beauti-
full reading room and library for the
Il Use of their help.
