BIG BROKERS ARE
FORCED TO WALL
WATSON & CO., BIGGEST GRAIN
BROKERS IN COUNTRY,
CLOSE DOORS.
FAILURE WAS A SURPRISE
HIT BY SHRINkAGE IN GREAT
NORTHERN AND NORTHERN
PACIFIC STOCKS.

New York, Sept. 1.-THE failure OF
Watson & Co, members of the New
York Stock and Produce exchanges
and of the Chicago Board of Trade,
was announced in those exchanges
yesterday. No cause was assigned for
the failure, nor was any estimate OF
the liabilities and assets made public.
The firm has extensive connections in
the West, maintaining Offices in Du-
luth, Minneapolis, Fargo n Winni-
peg. They are said to have carried
on one of the biggest grain brokerage
businesses in the country, besides
trading actively in railroad stocks,
particularly those of the Great North
ern and Northern Pacific railroads.
Accountants at Work.
w. Frank Newell, manager of the
assignee. Expert accountants have
been put to work on the books and a
statement of the financial condition
of the firm will soon be issued. The
members of the firm are Louis 7. Wat
son, Henry P. Watson, Charles e. An
derson and Herschell V. Jones. Louis
T. Watson is the only member of the
firm residing in this city, the others
being residents of Minneapolis.
Since it's organization in 1901 the
firm had made a speciality of dealing
in grain futures. H. V. Jones, former
ly publisher of a newspaper devoted to
the grain interests of the West, tray
eled extensively in the wheat belt anG
issued frequent reports of crop condi-
tons.
Failure Unexpected.
1t was generally understood that the
firm had advised it's patrons to buy
| grain this year and that both the COM
pany and its patrons profited thereby.
The announcement of it's failure was
therefore unexpected on the Produce
exchange.
On the Stock exchange, however, it
was understood that the firm had
heavy commitments in Great Northern
and Northern Pacific railroad stocks
and that they suffered chiefly from the
enormous shrinkage in the market
values Of those securities.

Paris, Sept. 1O.-A ray Of hope for a
