Since the Daring Smash - other
Markets Net Involved.

London, Dec. 81. The London &
Globe Financial Corporation, Limit
ed, has suspended payment. When
the brokers Friday delivered stock
purchased on account of the London
q Globe and asked for payment,
they received checks which were dis
honored. This was followed Saturday
by the failure on the stock exchange
of IL firms, as follows:
/ Haggard, Hale & Pixley, Gale & Driver.
Douglas, Jr., & Co., Cornfoot Brothers.
+. A. Cohen, Blockey s. Buckingham, Gum
& Aubrey, Richards & Sioper, Baker G.
Smith, f. c. Watts G. Co., Flower & Co.
and F. Boully & Co.
The thirteenth failure of stock
brokers was announced before the
close of the exchange. 1t was that of
| Bartholomew & Jacks. The fact that
a crisis had been reached in the
speoulations of the Wright
group OF mines, and that the worst
was known, occasioned feeling of
: relief, after the strain of anticipa-
ton. While the mining market con-
tinued depressed, other departments
quickly recovered from the excite
ment.
The failures Saturday involve 2s
members Of the stock exchange and
are equally divided among jobbers and
brokers. It is generally regarded in
the mining market as being the black
est day since the Barring smash. which
was disastrous to all departments.
Saturdays crisis, however, did not ex-
tend to the other markets, though
most Of them closed depressed. Amer
leans were incidentally affected, ow-
ing to some of the firms which failed
being interested in American seour-
tiles.
The London & Globe is said to be
largely interested in the Baker Street.

trouble is partially attributed to the

The chairman of the London &

ed, is the marquis of Dufferin and
Ava, the former governor general of
Canada, and British ambassador at
Paris. The failure of the concern of
which he is the head adds one more
sorrow to the closing chapter of his
life, for he is to-day preparing to
start to South Africa, in company
with Lady Dufferin, in consequence
of the serious condition of his son,
Lord Frederick Temple Blackwood,
the lieutenant in the Ninth lancers
who was wounded Monday at Glenfon-
tein. 1t is scarcely a year ago since
Lord Dufferin lost his eldest son,
the earl of Ava, who died at Lady
smith. He is now encompassed by
family grief, to which are added these
serious financial troubles

January 1. 1901.

To-day commences the beginning of
new century and is a favorable time
to glance backward over the past, to
note mistakes made and the triumphs,
and to correct the former on future
occasions and to make future triumphS
in the line of the public good.
The century notes an increase in
knowledge in medicine, in mechanics,
in every branch of science in peace
and in war. The discovery of cleo
tricity, the steam engine, the arts.
One hundred years ago man could
only get over the country as fast as a
horse could so. In 1892, when the
writer was u lad his family was near
~ four weeks with a team moving
from the eastern to the western part
of the state of New York. Now in
one-fourth that time person can
span the continent. Then the water
navigation upon our rivers and lakes
was dependent entirely upon the
winds.
AT the beginning of the century the
population of the United States was
about 3,000,000 now it is 100000.
While the population of the world has
only doubled, that of the United
Statates has increased fifteen fold. At
the beginning of the century our ter
ritory only stretched along the Allan
tic coast, now it stretches from ocean
to ocean and from the lakes to the
gulf.
At the beginning of the past century
we had neither manufactures or COM
merce. Now the manufactures of the
United States exceed that of any ma
tion, and our foreign commerce is of a
magnitude surprising that OF any
other country.
AT the beginning of the century a
few brave hearts proclaimed the equal
right of all men to life, liberty ard
the pursuit of happiness as embodied
in the Declaration of Independence,
now the same grand truths are max
ing the circuit of the earth.
And judging the future by the past,
who can place limit to human pro-
gress for the century commencing to-
day.
