SHARP FAIL ~ LONDON STOCKS.

SifCiU GWe IJcypdtf0 10 lhE ~ "
LONDON. Dec. ?s A sensation was caused
in speculative circles this afternoon by the
return of checks Of the London and Globe
Finance Corporation. a company occupied
in promoting and dealing in shares of sub
sidary companies. 1t had bought quantities
of the latter stocks in order to support the
market and found increasing difficulty in
obtaining financial accommodation. The
trouble eliminated when the banks refused
to make further advances and withdrew out
standing loans.
The chief stocks affected were Lake Views,
which fell from IL to So. II Is stated that
the company received notice of the pending
delivery Of more Lake View stock than tho
whole capital Of that company. IL Is stated
that the British Columbian group is entirely
unaffected by the crisis. which concerns the
West Australian market. The London and
Globe Corporation has capital Of f?.ooo 600

St. Louis, June 16.-By a practically
unanimous vote the striking street
railway union men decided yesterday
TO accept a new proposition presented
by their executive council and to en-
power the executive committee to set
tie on the basis of the clause regard
ing reinstatement without reference
to the union. This action was brought
about through the influence of Samuel
Gompers. president Of the American
Federation of Labor, who arrived in
st. Louis Thursday night and was
present at the mass meeting which
was held at the West End Coliseum
yesterday.
The new plan varies but little from
previous propositions, except in the
paragraph which provides for the re-
instatement of the men.
Heretofore all plans have con-
templated the reinstatement OF all the
employees. This matter is waived by
the new plan, and the reinstatement
left open to arbitration. After the
meeting had adjourned President Com
pers intimatee that arrangements for
opening negotiations WITH the Transit
company were already under way.
