wall Street HAS failure
Tracy& Co. Members of Stock
Exchange Short.
TAXICAB loan CAUSED The Loss
Concern Had Branches in st. Louis,
Chicago, Louisville, Milwaukee
and New Haven. Failure
Caused Sensation.

New York.-In the appointment
of a receiver for Tracy and Co.,
members of the New York stock ex-
change and the Chicago board of
trade, Wall street had a million dol
lar failure with an interesting varia-
ton from the usual. While no an
nouncement as to the exact cause
Of the failure has been made. E. A.
Benedict, the receiver said that he
understood that money lost in back
ing a local taxation concern figured
in the outside ventures. The firm
has no stock exchange obligations.
The total liabilities are estimated at
one million dollars; the assets at
half that amount. Both estimates,
however are approximated.
News of the firms failure came
out with the filling of an involun-
tary petition in bankruptcy in the
United States district court Monday
but as 1t was late, no official notice
was received at the stock exchange.
Mr.. Benedict was promptly named
as receiver and gave bond for $780,
600.
There we're but three petitioning
creditors and their claims as stated
are inconsiderable. They are Henry
F. Woodward $4,000; VIM. Austin
1000 and VIM. Scott 1907.
In the firm are VIM. W. Tracy. r.
d. Covington and Fred w. Parker,
Mr.. Parker was the board member.
Messrs. Track and Covington were
In conference with the receiver dur
ing the afternoon, but they declined
to make any statement, Mr.. Parker
has been abroad for several months.
The firm of Tracy and Co., was
organized In 1905. Among stock ex-
change houses with Chicago connec-
tions, the embarrassment of the
firm caused little surprise.
The situation is regarded by
friends of Mr.. Tracy as a result, as
least in part of proposed taxicab leg
islation pending before the local
board Of aldermen. When a hearing
was held with regard to proposed
legislation some weeks ago. an at
torney for taxicab interests announ-
ced to the committeeman of the
board who were considering the mat
ter. that any reduction of the rate
of fare might mean bankruptcy for
some persons interested. But the
proposed bill was reported. though
further consideration of 1t was post
poned. AS no official notice was re-
ceived the firm was not suspended
from the stock exchange today
Besides the main New York Office
in Wall Street, the firm maintained
local branches in West 33rd. street
and at the Hotel Gotham. 1t had
other Offices in Chicago. st. Louis,
Louisville, Milwaukee and New Ha-
ven, Conn.

II the State Live Stock Sanitary
Board had any funds with which
to work 1t could keep itself busy
with the diseases that are now at
tacking and doing serious damage to
the live stock of Louisiana. In
North Louisiana cholera has been
reported among the hori of that
section and, while it is now not do
ing such serious damage, it has caus-
Cd an average loss of about $4,000
month In some of the sections. The
farms of Caddo parish, where the
hog cholera has done the most Sc
rious damage, appealed to the De-
partment of Agriculture to come to
its relief and stop the ravages of the
cholera, but the Board was without
funds for this work. The expert
ment stations OF Missouri where the
vaccine for hog cholera is used to a
great extent to check the cholera in
that state was written to, in the
hopes of securing some of the vac
cine for use in this state, but Direc-
tor Conway replied that he did not
have at the present time enough for
use in his own state. Now comes
the report of the appearance of char
bon in Calcasieu parish, where the
farmers have lost some cows and
horses as result of the disease. The
Live Stock Sanitary Board was cre-
ated at the last session of the gen.
eral assembly, but no appropriation
was made to enable 1t to enforce
any of its regulations, and the Board
has so far been able to do very little
IN assisting a farming community
to stamp out disease when 1t ap-
pears among the live stock.
