JAY COOKIES LIFE ENDED.

American FInanciers.

EtHSi HctA
Jay Cooke, noted fnancier died at
Philadelphia, Feb. 16. He was "a years
old.
Mr. Cooke, in the years during the
civil war and for a considerable time
thereafter, was unquestionablv the
foremost of American financiers. He
carried upon his shoulders vast re-
sponsibilities and his genius and quick
resourcefulness were the marvel of
the times and a household word in this
country and even abroad.
His career was typically American.
Porn at Sandusky, Ohio, on Aug. TO-,
1921, the son of a father who had
failed in business. the future engineer
of gigantic financial schemes began to
labor for living at the age of 10
Leaving his home as boy he sought
employment in Philadelphia, and in
that city entered the service, as a
clerk. of the banking house of Clark
G Co. Subsequently he became a
partner in the firm, and twenty years
after his arrival in Philadelphia he,
with his sons. founded in 1858 the
banking concern of Jay Cooke & Co. .
The opening of the civil war found
the firm of Cooke & Co. on the very
crest Of its advancing wave. The gov
ernment needed money to carry on the
war. National officers exhausted
their ingenuity and the treasury was
empty.
Mr.. Cooke said he would undertake
to raise money for the war if he were
made sole financial agent for the Unit
ed States. This was done, and in a
short time great stream was pouring
into the treasury at the stupendous
rate Of $3,0OO,OOO a day. During the
war the Cooke firm transacted a busi-
ness for the national treasury involv-
ing-incredible as it may seem-more
than $4,000, 100000.
Mr.. Cooke then turned his attention
to plans for building the Northern Pa
cf1ic railroad, and through capitalists
at home and in England had already
secured backing in London to the ex-
tent of S20,O00,O00 to complete the
road. The scheme fell through, owing
