EPPINGER & co. Go UNDER
GRAIN HOUSE FAILURE RESULT OF COW
MITMENT ON SHORT SIDE LAST YEAR

MA1MENI* ON SHORT SIDE LAST YEAR,
San Francisco, June s.-The Eppinger failure
announced late on Saturday, will AFFECT the
entire line Of warehouses and elevators controlled
by the company on the Pacific coast The con-
nectlons OF Epptnger & Co. are numerous both
on the Pacific coast and in Europe.
The firm embraced Jacob Eppinger the found
er; Herman Eppinger and B. Etlingler. I'm to
the dissolution of the great combination which
controlled the grain business, charters nrices
and contracts, Eppinger & Co. were members
which was in control Of warehouses all over
the state 1t is, the general opinion that the
! cause for the failure of Eppinger & Co. dates
back five or six months, when the 'sbip four,,
| combination was caught heavily long on shfps
chartered at the highest prices last year and
short on wheat, which had been sold as low as
$1.O5 and then rose to LEO.
The combination got severe squeeze and If
was currently reported in business circles that
Eppinger & Co.'S losses amounted to $3.50. 900.
Much money. 1t is said, had been advanced
by the company to farmers whose crops were in
poor condition.
The final crash was precipitated by the London.
Paris and American bank, which within the last
two or three days mode peremptory and heavy
demands on the firm of Eppinger & Co. The
obligations We're pressing and the firm could not
meet them. Therefore notice Of insolvency was
| sent to the exchange.
! In addition to the grain trading the finn of
Eppinger & Co. did a big business in warehouses.
Aside from Its interests in the Port Costa ware
! house the firm controlled immense grain stor.
age plants thruout the Sacramento and San
Joaquin valleys. Among these were warehouses
at Dixon, Woodland, Arbuckle, Stockton, Nodes
| to and Paso Robes.

sHRINKAGE OF $230,181, 600
WHAT THE DECLINE IN COPPER STOCKS
SINCE 1901 MEANS TO SHAREHOLDERS.

New York, June s.-Since the great copper
company increased Its capital to $155OO0 900
and formed a merger with the Boston and Mon
tana and the Butte and Boston, there has been
a great shrinkage in the value Of the copper
stocks which are traded in in this city and
Boston. Since 1901 compilation shows that
the loss in the selling price of twentyfour repre-
sentative copper stocks amounts to a total OF
$3.50, 1s1 900. OF this amount the Amalgamated
company accounts for more than half the loss.
In that stock alone from the high points at
which it sold in 1901 to the low point reached a
few days ago, there has ben shrinkage in the
quoted value of the property OF $122 $50, 600.
Since Jan. OF this year the .shrinkage has been
ss4,213,300.
