S. V. Whit© A Co.’* Failure Still the Topic
of Convereation la New York City—It It
Reported That CapitalUtt Have Offered
to Come to the Firm’s Hem tie.
New Yobk, sept, 23.—The failure of
S. V. White & Co. continues to be the
principal theme cf talk in down town
circles. One cf tile Wall street news
agencies sent the following :
"White still declines to unike public
any estimate of bis liabilities. Other
members of Ins firm said no statement
conld be made until the result of the
transactions during the day were made
known. ”
The same authority added t "The
amount of gram bought by the clique
for September and October delivary
was very large. ”
- The actual arrivals of corn in New
York the past si* weeks have been
heavy, and the supposed agents of the
clique engaged vessel room Monday for
600,000 bushels. A part of the corn
shipped is understood to have gone
abroad, while a large aditional amount
wns placed with a grain house here, and
we are told, margined down to very low
figures. Members of this house said
they should be glad to take com at
the price wbioh'it stood on their books.
The losses on the corn deal are esti
mated all the way from $1,000.000 to
|2.000,000 and add another to the illus
trations already afforded of the great
danger there is in attempting to corner
any of the great food products. ”
Some friends of S. V. White &Co.,
sre confident that firm will be able to
resume business in the near future.
This belief was based on the rumor that
three or (our prominent capitalists and
operators had conditionally agreed to
advance funds sufficient to help over
the firm's difficulties.

CRISP AT COHDELE.
Dooly Get* a Straight Tip From tho Next
Speaker.
■ComiELK, September 23.—[Spoclal.]—
Judge Cliarlss F. Crisp addressed an
audience of Cordeleans at Shipp's opera
house last night. To say that everyone
wns pleased with tho speech would ex
press too mildly the enthusiasm which
the speech aroused.
The opera house was well filled, and
a fair sprinkling of ladles graced the oc-
casion. In a neat speech Col. J. E. D.
Shipp introduced Judge Crisp, and as
that distinguished gentleman advanced
to the front of tho stage ho was loudly
applauded.
His clear and forcible arguments
against the infamous republican taws
which oppress the people, especially the
tariff nod the* financial policy, opened
the eyes of his listeners and set them to
thinking. '
Without n single oratorical flight,
without once f getting nnduiy excited
over his subject, his speech was beauti
ful in its simplicity and contained the
very essence of eloquence.
The speech was listened to with-
marked attention and his telling points
were applauded frequently. This is his
first appearanco publicly before the
peopio of Cordele. They are oharmed
with their congrensman, and more than
one good democrat who heard him ex
pressed the wish that sucli speeches
could be made throughout the country.

whose mother is sold to be worth'
♦7,000,000, and of eonrse, it is clearly

money to settle hie difficulty.
