NEW YORK AND CHICAGO.
Announcement In New York of Anlgn
mrnt nnil Suspension of ,n Old Eit«b<
llahed Firm—The Liabilities of the Firm
Are 8ald to be Very Large.
New Yoiut, Sept. 22.—The announce
ment of the assignment nnd suspension
of S. V. White & Co., of New York and
Chicago, luts been made on the stock
exchange.
White says the failure was due to
long speculation in corn and not in
stocks. The liabilities of the Aim are
very large, but only a few hnndred
shares of stock are outstanding on con
tract.

three days has diverted to some extent
attention from speculation and invest
ments in hreadstnits. It is stated that
the failure will affect Chicago princi
pally. The price of corn on the produce
exchange fell 1} cents at the news of
the failure. The liabilities ore very
large, but Mr. Steadman says he can
