Trade, Wall street had a million dol
lar failure with an interesting varia-
tion from the usual. TaXicabs, not
stock manipulation or market condi-
lions, are said to be indirectly respon-
Sible for the firms troubles. While
no announcement as to the exact
cause Of the failure has been made, Z.
A. Benedict, receiver, said that he UNI
derstood that money lost in backing a
Socal taXicab concern figured in the
outside ventures. The firm has nc
stock exchange Obligations. The TO.
tai liabilities are estimated at $1,000
600, the assets at half that amount.
Both these sums are approximate.
Among stock exchange houses with
Chicago connections, the embarrass.
ment of the firm caused little surprise.
The situation is regarded by friends
of MIR. Tracy as a result, at least liz
part, OF proposed taXicab legislation
pending before the local board of al
dermen. When a hearing was held
with regard to proposed legislation
