so rapidly that, in the spring % this
year, the capital was increased to S250.-
GOO, and, with that increase. came still
additional increase in business, so that
the Office force was simply over
whelmed. We have been doing the
largest commission business of any
house in the world, but it had recently
come TO the attention of the firm that
the records of the transactions were not
being kept in the proper shape for such
deals
About a week ago expert account
ants were put to work on the books. I
have gone over the legal end Of the
firms affairs, and have found it absO-
Iutely correct. The experts found that
it would be absolutely necessary TO
make a new set OF books dating from
Jan. J. 1900 and checking every item
of the immense business. The errors
were apparently made without partial
ity, credits being debited, and vice
versa.
but, up to 4 o'clock yesterday. after
a weeks work. and after errors had
been corrected I'D to that time, the
books she we'd the firm to be absolutely
solvent. On my advice they cut on
all old business at midnight last night
tho last day Of the month, and trans
ferred all their open trades to Mercy
nolds. and every trade of the house IS
protected. and every trade made yes
terday was made at a profit for the
customers.
I'VE are sending out a circular ask
ing all our customers to send US a
statement of their claims as list the
company, so that we may hd-~- hem
audited--and use them in preparing a
new set of books. with the expectation
that. unless something happens when
does not seem probable we shall take
care Of every claim and proceed with
the business as heretofore The ac-
countants. so far, have found no evil
dence whatever of criminal Irregular
ity. but simply mistakes. due 10 the inn
meuse amount of business handled
VITA inadequate facilities for caring
therefor"
The announcement Of the above turn
OF affairs caused scarcely a ripple in
the board of trada markets. Corn
eased about sc. but soon regained the
loss. The wheat market was but
slightly affected. and oats followed the
course of the corn market. About the
0n.y excitement visible was the I'M
usual scurry of clerks, hurrying about
checking up open trades.

JEWESS RELEASED FROM OBLIGATION
TO MARRY DEAD HUSBANDS BROTHER

tiOns with her New York relative soon
after the death of her husband, but her
brother-in-law fOnud it impossible to
travel abroad to have the ceremony OF
dispensing with the obligation per-
formed. Without this dispensatiOn, ac-
cording to the law, the widow could
not marry again.
Under the circumstances the widow
decided to come to America to get the
desired release, and it was this cere-
mony which was performed in a little
front room on the second floor OF -
tenement house on Norfolk street.
A portion of the Talmud was read
by the rabbi, who, at the end Of the
reading, produced a sandal of peculiar
and ancient pattern 1t was made of
two pieces OF leather. and was fastened
with iatches and two long thongs
Shopping, he fastened this to the foot
of Laos. The widow was then directed
to kneeI in front of the man and use
only her right hand to unite the shoe
After this was done she arose, held the
shoe high above her head and cast it
on the floor in front of her brOther-in-
law. The two principals were then de-
cIared free to go their own way.

New York, Aug. IAN eXtraOrdinar-
lily rare ceremony, based by the Jews
directly upon the teachings of the Old
Testament has just been performed IN
this city, when a young woman who
had travelled 10000 miles was released
from the obligation of marrying her
deceased husbands brother, says the
New York Times The obligation of a
woman marrying the brother of her de-
ceased husband, according to ancient
Hebrew law. arose when her husband
died before children were born to the
pair.
The young woman in the case is Mrs
GeOlda Laos, a young ROumanian
Jewess from Bucharest A little over
three years ago she married Emanuel
Laos. when she was but is years old.
Within three months the husband died.
All this happened in Bucharest. The
