BAD CASHIER.
SIGNATURES FORGED AND THE
FACE OF NOTES RAISED.
Sufferers to the Extent of $3,000
Already Heard From, and More
Probably Still Keeping Mum -A War
rant for His Arrest Sworn Out—A
Fair Traveling Companion.
Atlanta. 6a., Jan. 2.—The damaging
developments expected in the case of the
absoonding cashier, J. E. Morris, were
forthcoming eariy this morning. It now
appears that the prime motive of his
flight was to avoid the conse
quences of three forgeries. The im
pression that he wanted to get rid
of his wife is also gaining ground. To-day
J. B. Redwm, a well known money lender,
entered suit against J. J. Simmons as in
dorser of two notes discounted bv the
plaintiff for Morris. Tiie first of these is
"for #250. Mr. Simmons admits having
indorsed but ciaim* that the amount was
raised from #IOO. The see >nd, which was
for $125. he pronounced a straightout for
gery. Both notes were payable in three
mouths, and one fell due just four days
after "Morris disappeared.
WHY HIC ISDORSEn.
Mr. Simmons says that he frequently in
dorsed paper for Morris under an arrange
ment by which the latter bought and sold
real estate, the profits from which were
■hared in by the former. Last vear he in
dorsed several notes, which Morris pre
tended to have destroyed, in favor of the
Neal Loan and Banking Company. He
said that be c >uld procure the
money lie needed elsewhere. Mr. .Simmons
thought this looked odd, but the confidence
he felt in M rris kept him from suspecting
anything untd the other day, when one of
the notes fell due and he was notified and
paid it. This had also boo i raised from
#IOO to #2SO. What has become of the
balance of the paper is unknown. Sim
mons will resist further payments in the
courts.
OVER #3,000 SCOOPED IN.
There is no telling bow many business
men have been bitten. It is now estimated
that the losses sustained through him by
such as have yet complained amount in all to
something over #3,000. Humors of a pretty
traveling companion for the absconding
cashier aro thick to-night. This afternoon
it was learned that the Atlanta, Kdgewood
and Decatur Building nnd Loan Associa
tion. one of the institutions Morris was for
merly connected with as secretary, suffered
a loss of #1,30 through a shortage in his
accounts. J. C. Simmons and Ueorgo
Ware were then his bondsmen.
simmonb’ discovery.
After Morris had teen called on to indorse
the new loan and bailing company's
notes, of which there* were so many
that the indorser, it appeals, ha*
lost track of their number, he un
dertook to obtain his signature tc still
another for #2 0 and was refused. Mr.
Simmons’ suspicions were at last aroused,
and he inquired of the president why Mor
ris had been siqierseded as secretary of the
building and loan association. He then first
became aware of the #1,300 shortage, and he
and Ware, the other bondsman, called Mor
ris to terms. Ever ready with expedient* the
latter conveyed lo them certain property
held by him, which, after he had paid back
SSOO of bis shortage, seemed amide to secure
them. But, in fact, a S4OO mortgage al
ready rested on the property, and wheu it
came to be sold the bondsmen still lound
themselves liable in a like amount, which
they will have to pay.
TOOK A I.ITTLK FROM EACH.
Morris seems to have none of
the parties yet heard from of any very large
amounts, but the successor his operations
is all the more striking, thore being so many
victims. It is said that just before lonv ing
town Christmas he circulated very freely
among the merchants,, paying small bills
with big checks which could not lie cashed
that day and pocketing the change. It
is net yet known how much he
gathered up in that way. The Fidelity and
Casualist Insurance Company, which
signed his temporary bond when
he became oonnected with the
Southern Loan and Hanking Company, to
day swore out a warrant charging the de
faulter with iarcenv after trust, nnd tele
grams have been sent out in all directions
by the chief of police.

LAST YEAR IN TRADE.
; AN UNPRECEDENTED BUSINESS IN
MANY LINES.
I The Production of Iron, Cotton,
Leather, Boots and Shoes and Meats
Larger Than in Any Previous Year—
The Failures Larger Than in Any
Year Since 1884.
New York. Jan. 2.—R. G. Dnn & Co.’s
weekly review of trade was issued to-day.
It says; “The new year opened with so
much of uncertainty that there is a natural
disposition to dwell upon the crowning
records of the year just closed, which show
an extraordinary volume of business, in
many lines surpassing all prece
dent. Iron, ootton, leather, boots
and shoes and meat production were
larger than in any previous year. Thus
2,213,312 cattle were slaughtered at Chicago,
against 1,703,810 in 1883. a gain of 25 per
cent; and 5,733,082 hogs, against 4,211,767
in 1889, a gain of 36 per cent. At Boston
3,535,211 cases of boots and shoes
were shipped, against 3,393,380, a
gain of 4 per cent. Clearing
house exchanges show that the volume of
all business In 18 30 exceeded that of any
previous year by at least 10 per cent.,
though in part this increase was due to the
high ranges of all commodities, which,
compared with a year ago, is 6.6 per cent.,
and the average has been about 5.5 per
cent, higher for eight months.
the year’s failures.
"But this unprecedented volume of busi
ness has not been altogether successful and
the recorded fa.lures have been in nu.niber
and amount of liabilities larger than in any
previous year since 1884. though in number
only a trifle greater than in 1883. The
average of liabilities was #17,406 for
the year, ngainst2sl3,672 the year liefore.
Moreover, the average of liabilities for the
last quarter was greater than in any other
fourth quarter on j record, namely, #26,784,
against #14,307 in 1883.
"Reports from other cities are almost
uniformly confident in tone, and indicate a
good volume and fair condition of trade for
the season, but are liable to be’, colored
by-a retrospect of the general prosperous
year.
“The south rejoices In a great crop and
wonderful manufacturing growth, and for
the moment notes le9s flnanicial pressure,
good holiday trade, and bright hopes.
“Pittsburg reports a decline of 25 cents in
pig iron, weaker flnisbel products, and a
reduction in the price of coke at the fur
naces from #2 15 to #1 30, though the Bhe
nango furnaces are also to close.
EASIER MONEY MARKET&
“Eastern reports show easier money tmr
keta and a more hopeful feeling. At Phila
delphia the grocery season has boon satis
factory, with good collections; the paint
business fair, with collections improving;
chemicals are quiet and collections slow.
“At Boston the conditions are deemed
favorable. Wool is fairly active, with the
unsold stocks in the country reported at
27,000,030 pou d*, against 30,000,0iJ0 pounds
a year ago, and a (letter prospect for woolen
goods. Domestic hides are firm, aud leather
and boot* and shoe* m >re active.
“The iron industry does not improve, ns
the closing of many furnaces indicate.
Southern iron has been sold here at li(i 50
for No. 1. and northern at sl6 75, and Phil
adelphia quatat ions for tho best grades at
?17 50 against S2O a year ago, sl4 50 for
orge against #lB, and #2 10 for plate*
against $2 30. The rail business is involved
in uncertainty, and quotations are #2B,
against #35 a year ago.
“Copper and tin opened the new year
lower, lake copper being sold at #l4 75 aud
tin nt sl3 35, but lead is suffer at #4 10.
“ There is a better tone in the anthracite
coal market.
“The market for dress goods and worsteds
has been improved both in volume and to
some extent in price.
WOOL AND COTTON.
“Ohio fleece sells at 84 cents, against 37
cents a year ago.
"The cotton market has advanced }Hc.,
with sales of 405,000 bales, although both
the receipts and exports for the week exceed
those of a year ago.
“Tho stock market has been dull rather
than weak, though prices close much below
those of a year ago, averaging for the sixty
moHt active stocks $55 49 per share, against
SB4 68 Jan. 2, 1890. The average rose to
SO9 93V£ with the silver boom May 24, and
fell to $53 61 on Nov. 15, the day Baring’s
liquidation was announced. The most sig
nificant fact in this business is that the new
issue of securities listed durlug the year,
after deducting all for the replacement of
older securities, have amounted to $230,-
174,810 bonds and $189,630,751 stocks, ex
ceeding by $134,000,090 tho net issues for
the previous year,
"The monetary situation has not changes!
during the week, though tho treasury has
put out SBOO,OOO more than it has taken in.
The exports at this port continue to exceed
ihoseof a year ago, swelling the excess of
exports over imports, and tho rate of foreign
exchange has again fallen to 44 S3, indicat
ing that gold imports may not tie distant.
“The failures of the week nuiuber3tl. For
the corresponding week Of last year the
figures were 291.”
