TWO MORE FIRMS FA |.
New York and Boston Men Go to Wall.
Market Showed Improvement,
Notwithstanding.

A New York special says: In spite
Of or probably because of. two addl-
tional failures on the stock exchange
e: S. Hooley & CO. and William Bas-
sett, of Boston-Monday' stock mar
ket showed very general Improvement
and the situation as whole was view
ed with more cheerfulness.
The Hooley failure was regarded as
an inevitable sequel to that of-". l..
Stowe & Co., which came last Friday.
The failure of MIR. Bassett was wholly
unimportaant-one Of the days incl
dents.
The market displayed a hesitating
tone at the outset, many of the rail-
road stocks showing fractional de-
clines. Slight improvement soon fol-
lowed, but prices fell off from to 3
points in the active list, with even
greater declines in the specialties as
soon as the Hooley failure came out.
Evansville and Terre Haute, a Hooiey
specially. declined IL points, and the
entire list reflected considerable con-
fusion.
BY the end of the first hour the SIT
uation seemed well in hand and the
prices advanced in few instances,
where pressure continued to be direct
ed upon certain stocks.
Further improvement was shown py
the market in the late session, even
Evansville and Terre Haute recovered
all but a point of its early loss, Des
Moines and Fort Dodge and the Hooley
stocks gaining 4 points. 49, 3
The assignee of Hooley G Co. would
make no statement for publication,
and it was impossible to learn the eX-
tent of the obligations. In conserVa-
tive circles the firms liabilities are
placed at about s3,000,000.
Hooley and w. L. Stowe were the
dominant figures in Des ,Moines and
Fort Dodge, leased to the Rock Island
road in 1887 for eighteen years.
Keen Interest in London.
According to dispatches from Lon
don. the keenest interest is manifested
on the stock exchange in the financial
situation in New York, the effect OF
which was shown Monday in the e
cline of Americans Of 1 IL to 2 points
below Saturdays closing prices. The
American bank statement was regard
ed as disappointing; the fact that
there wae no reduction in loans IN
spite of the heavy liquidation caused
uneasiness. Operators on the stock ex-
change were nervous. awaiting news
of the development in Wall street.
