GRAIN DEALERS
co TO THE WALL
A San Francisco Firm
Fails Today.
Causes Great Excitement on Floor
of Exchange-LOss Amounts
to Millions.

San Francisco, June 6.-Eppinger X
Co, of this city, one of the largest
grain dealing firms in the United
States, went to the wall today.
The crash came suddenly, and for a
time threatened to upset the local
grain market. As it was, the an
nouncement caused big bobbing in
prices on the exchange, and wrought
up such an excitement as has not been
witnessed ON the floor for many years
1t is thought the losses of the firm
may run into the millions, while the
London, Paris, and American bank,
with which the firm deals, is believed
also to have suffered a heavy loss.
Up to its dissolution the Eppinger
company was member OF the great
combination known as the Big Four
which dissolved about six months
ago.
The general opinion is that the
cause for the failure of the Eppinge1
company dates back to the time wher
the combine was given a sever,
queezing in covering short lines. in
curing losses which were currently
reported at three million dollars.

Last evening l was talking

Said the angel, ''I'm from Heaven
The Lord just sent me down
To bring you up to glory
And put on your golden crown.
You've been a friend to every one.
And worked hard night and day:
You have supported many thousands
And from few received your pay.
So we want you up in glory,
For you have labored hard
And the good Lord is preparing
Your eternal. just reward. -
Then the angel and the editor
Started up towards glory's gate,
But when passing close to hades,
The angel murmured. ''Waitl

It's the hottest place in hell,
Where the ones who never paid you.
In torment always dwell -
And, behold, the editor saw there,
His old subscribers by the score.
And grabbing up a chair and fan,
He wished for nothing more;
But was bound to sit and watch then
As they'd sizzle, SINCE and burn.
And his eyes would rest on debtors,
Whichever way they'd turn,
Said the angel, Come on, editor,
There's the pearly gates l see,
But the editor only muttered:
