appearance, but also affects the wear.

WALL STREET SLUMP
PROBED BY PRESIDENT.
Charge of Plot to Depress Market Based
on Information Obtained by
Cortelyou.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 2.-Of5cials of the
administration here assert that when the
President declared in his Provincetown
speech thai the existing slump in Wall
Street was manufactured for a purpose
he did not speak without Information on
which to base his allegation.
The officials say the President took
pains to have conditions in New York
carefully investigated with a view to de-
termining if the SLOW panic was real
or artificial. and the reports that came
to him convinced him there was no n
Inc scare among financiers and abso-
lutelv no reason in existing financial con-
ditions for such a scare. The men sent
by the President to look into the Wal
Street situation are said to have been
Secretary of the Treasury Cortelyou,
COMPTROLLER of the Currency Ridgeley and
Assistant Secretary Of the Treasury Ed
wards.
These officials. 1t is asserted here. found
the financial and business conditions of
the metropolis sound and prosperous. and
were told by many substantial bankers
who are not tied up with the big Wall
Street SPECTATORS. that the present liquida-
ton in stocks was not forced, but was
part of a scheme to deliberately depress
prices and scare the public for reasons
that were not difficult to surmise.

Approves.

ATLANTA, Aug. Ex-Governor Hoke

Joseph M. Brown. of the Railroad Com
mission, from office and appointing
Clayton McLendon to fill the vacancy.
Governor Smiths order suspends

This is the first time in the history of
the State that a Governor has exercised
his authority to suspend a member of
the State Board of Railroad Commits

line u a reduction of the rates
from $3.50 to s107.50 and the North Ger
nan Lloyd line a reduction from $3.50
to $117.50. This was brought about
after prolonged negotiations on the part
of the German lines with the Cunard
line for the purpose of reaching an
agreement to maintain common rates.
The German lines are becoming in
vclved in rate wars in various direc-
lions. The Hamburg-American lines
new connection between New York and
Baltic ports is a blow at the Russian
lines, which have answered with a
further reduction of the steerage rate
to New York. The German lines found
it impossible to continue to draw Rus
sian emigrants by the rail route from
the Russian frontier to Hamburg and
Bremen, because they preferred en-
barking at the homo ports of Riga and
Libau. This necessitated bidding for
emigrants at Baltic ports. The view
prevails at Hamburg and Bremen that
the Russian lines will prove unable to
keep up the fight for any length of
time and will offer to compromise be-
fore long.
Generalization also prevails in he
freight business to Brazil and other
parts of South America, caused by a
cut from 1915 to 1915 per ton by the
English shipping firm of Lamport &
Holt. The latter went into the trans
atlantic business owing to the entrance
of the Hamburg-South American
Steamship Company. and the Ham
burg-American line. into the trade be-
tween Brazil and New York, Compel
ing with Lamport & Holt, and the Bra
lillian Lloyd. The German lines have
been hard hit by the big reduction
made by the Lamport & Holt line.

now be carried $3.50 cheaper than be-
fore.

BIG GROCERY FIRMS
FAILURE IN NEW YORK
Alleged to Be Due to Inability to Obtain
Ready Money to Meet
Obligations.

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-Business circles
were greatly surprised to learn that the
big wholesale grocery firm of e. c. Haz-
ard & Co., of III Hudson street, was In
financial straits. The fact became known
through the fling in the United States
District Court of an involuntary petition
against the house.
In the petition It is stated that the mem
bers of the firm consist of Elmer c. Haz-
ard, Theodore Sterne. George M. Archer
and Frank Green. On the strength of the
petition Judge Holt fappoined as receiver
Charles W. Gould. of the firm of Gould &
Wilkie. Q Wall street. The bond was
placed at $3.50, 900. and Mr.. Gould so quail
flied.
The firms liabilities are estimated at
$3.50, 900, and the assets at $3.50, 000, consist
ing of the stock of groceries. canned
goods, wines, liquors, outstanding ac-
counts. horses and trucks. The firm also
owns me big factory at Shrewsbury, N.
j., where tomato catsup is manufactured
and various kinds of vegetables are
cannes
Frank B.. Green. who looks after the IN
terest of his father, Frank Green. senior
partner in the firm, said yesterday that
there would probably be a reorganization
of the when the receivership Is
wound up. This seemed to bear out a
rumor in the wholesale grocery district
that there has 5een friction within the
firm for some months. 1t has been known
to the trade for some weeks past that the
firm has been slow in its payments and
was in great need Of ready cash. 1t was
said that the firm had given the sales
agency for some 4 its specialties to a
corporation which has been pushing that
branch of the business.
George M. Archer. Junior member of the
firm. said the inability to obtain ready
money was the sole cause of the firms
present difficulty, and declared that the
assets were 90 far in excess of the liabil-
tiles that the trouble could be easily
Strengthened out In time.

INTEREST RATE UP
YORK CITY OFFERS TO
PAY 1-2 PER CENT.
First Time in Twenty Years That II
Has Had to Give More Than
Per Cent. for Money.

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-Owing to the
present ~stringency In the money market
the city Of New York was obliged today
to raise the rate of interest on bonds 1t
now has for sale from 4 to ~ per cent.
In addition TO this the Mayor issued an
order to the heads of all city departments
requesting them to limit the expenditures
of their respective departments to the low
est possible point consistent with efficient
administration
The action increasing the rate of interest
was taken at the meeting of the Sinking
Fund Commission today, The bonds af-
fected are those known as corporate stock
of the City of New York and the assess
ment bonds.
The Mayors order to city department
chiefs directs them to enter into no new
contracts except such as are apsoiuteiy
necessary. and to discontinue all work now
in progress which can be stopped without
injury to the city's interests. This does
not apply to work on school buildings nor
10 contracts where large numbers of men
ar This Is the first time in twenty years
that the city has been compelled to pay
more than 4 per cent. :
After the meeting of the Sinking Fund
Commission Mayor Mcclellan made the
following statement on the subject:
Fol the last three lays 1 nave uone an
in nv power to help the Acting Controller
sell 4 per cent. bonds. I find that In the
present condition of the market there are
no purchasers for city As ut par except
city contractors, who are forced to take
bonds on installment of their claims. 1t
is unfair to compel them to take the bonds
at par and resell them at a discount.
Il nave taken the best financial advice
ebtainable and nave reached the conclusion
that while there is no market for city As
at the present time. we will have no diff
Guilty in borrowing money al AZ per cent.
1t Is absolutely necessary for the credit
and good name of the city to pay its OBJ
legations promptly and in full.
1.-THE necessity of issuing long-term AZ
per cent. bonds is due to the fact that the
city has not the authority of practically
all othe. corporations Of issuing short per
cent. bonds to cover a time of money
.stringency. 1t is not the intention of the
city to stablish this as the rate to be
generally offered, but merely to sell suf-
fcient bonds to obtain money now abso-
lutely required.
I'm order to guard against a repetition
of the present situation l intend to ask
the Legislature to authorize the city to
issue a form of indebtedness for a short
period and at a rate of interest conform
ing with market conditions"
