WABASH, Ind, JAN 31.-A telegram was
received this morning from Mrs. Charles

FAILURE OF BROKERS
TUNsTALL a. CO., OF NEW YORK
FORCED TO SUSPEND.
Were Short on a Line of Stocks, and
Attempted to Recoup by Buying
Sugar Certificates.

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-The failure of
Tunstall & Co. was announced on the Stock
Exchange to-day. The firm was until
few months ago Norton & Tunstall, but the
senior partner, E. Hope Norton, at that
time retired, Mr.. Tunstall continuing the
business and taking in with him G. A.
Wainwright. Soon after the firm was dis
solved it was said in Wall street that the
change had been the result of Mr. Tun-
stalls prediction for "plunging'' more
than was liked by the other partner. and
this fact. together with Mr.. Tunstalrs i'm
mense operations in sugar certificates on
the board yesterday, more or less pre-
pared members of the stock Exchange for
the news that the firm could not meet its
contracts. The firm assigned to Clarence
]. Shearn, of No. IS Wall street. It's liza
bilities were not stated.
Mr.. Tunstall was very heavy buyer of
Sugar yesterday. taking, according to re-
ports. 10000 shares on his own purchase and
10000 to 5000 shares through another brok-
er. During his purchases, which forced the
stock up from 1171s to 121 on sales of more
than $1,000 shares. it was noted by men in
the crowd that the first named buyer was
apparently not taking the names of sellers
and the circumstance made a great deal of
comment. According to the Evening Post
it was freely said the neglect to complete
the transactions due to the fact that
the buyer at the time was not in a condi-
ton to attend to his business. For this
reason sellers who delivered stock de-
manded certified cnecks for deliveries
These were not obtainable. This morning
brokers in the loan crowd, apparently act
ing for Mr.. Tunstall, sought to slend the
stock in large quantities. If this had been
possible the money from this operation
might have enabled him TO meet his con-
tracts. A great number of brokers were
put TO confusion by the failure. Those who
had covered shorts through him found
themselves long of the shares. This caused
selling. and the shares were sold heavily
from the opening, lots of from 1000 to 1000
being frequently sold. After the price had
declined to 111H 1850 shares were sold ''un-
der the rule" as in the case of failures in
States Leather, Brooklyn Rapid Transit,
Southern Pacific, Steel and Wire, st. Paul
and others were bought in the same way.
The firm sent this not ce to the Stock Ex-
change: owing to the bank refusing to
certify our checks We were obliged to sus-
pend temporarily. We hope to make a
satisfactory settlement shortly"
After the notice of suspension and tho
closing out OF contracts under the rule
commenced it transpired that it was a bear
and not a bull failure. The indications
were that Tunstall was short of line of
stocks, including Steel and Wire, Federal
Steel, Baltimore az Ohio and many other
stocks on which there were heavy losses
and that the venture of buying Sugar GER
tificates was simply taken last resort
to recoup losses on the bear side of the
market.
