A Thirteenth Failure.

London, Dec. 3O.-The thirteenth
failure of stock brokers was an
nounced before the close of the ex-
change. 1t was that of Bartholomew
d Jacks. The fact that crisis had
been reached in the speculations of
the Whitaker-Wright group of mines
and that the worst was known, occa-
stoned a feeling of relief. after the
strain of anticipation. While the
mining market continued depressed
other departments quickly recovered
from the excitement.

Copenhagen, Dec. 31.-Denmark's
trade with the United States is grow
ing rapidly, showing record figures
for 1900. Imports from the United
States have trebeled since 1896. and
now exceed $4,000, 900. The mcreas-
ing commerce between the two coun-
tries is inducing many Danish-Ameri-
cans to return to Copenhagen to re-
present American houses, aud this ls
doing much to introduce American
goods. AS a natural result new ships
have been ordered for the American
trade.

A BIG CRASH IN London.
Suspension Of Payment by the Lon

poration, Limited.
THIRTEEN FIRMS ALSO WENT DOWN.
The Marquis of Dunerin and Ava,
Former GoyernOr-GeReral of Cam
: ada and Now British Ambassador
at Paris, Was Head of the First
Named Concern.

London, Dec. 30.-The London &
Globe Finance corporation, limited,
delivered stock purchased on account
of the London G. Globe, and asked for
payment. They received checks which
were dishonored. This was followed,
Saturday, by the failure on the stock
exchange Of IL firms, as follows:
Haggard, Hale & Pixley, earle & Dri-
yer, Douglas, Jr, & Co., Cornfoot
Bros, +. A. Cohen, Blockey & Kook-
ingham, Gum & Aubrey, Richards &
Sloper, Baker & Smith, f. c. Watts
& Co., Flower g. Co., and F, Boully &
Co.
The first named is a big firm with
important connections. 1t is feared a
number of smaller jobbers will be at
fected.
Lord Dufferin Involved.
The chairman of the London &
Globe Finance corporation, limited, 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 for
South Africa, in company with Lady
Dufferin, in consequence of the Sc
rious condition of his son, Lord Fred
erick Temple Blaclrwood, the lieuten-
ant in the Ninth dancers who was
wounded Monday at Glenfontein. 1t
is scarcely a year ago since Lord Duff
! ferin lost his eldest son, the earl of
Ava, who died at Ladysmith. He is
now encompassed by family grief, to
which are added these serious fnan-
cial troubles.
Some other Big Guns.
Lord Dufferin's fellow directors are
Whitaker Wright, who is well known
in connection with many companies;
Lieut.-G Gen. Hon. Somerset Cough
Calthorpe, who has been colonel-in-
chief of the Fifth dragoon guards
since 1892, and Lord Pelham-Clinton,
master of the queens household, and
a son of the former duke of New
castle. Lord Duffern holds 5000 shares
of the London & Globe, and 10000
British Americans.
