Cntc.ioo , Aug. 2. Prices boomed today on
the Hoard of Trade In the fuceof three froth
failures , Excitement for n ttmo vrnn nt
fever hc.it , Quo collapse wan thnt of the
taoit prominent grnln carrier In Chicago , If
pot in the ontlro country-iC. U. Ugglcston At
Co. Two other firms suspended wcro George
Q. IMrker & Co. nud Thomas Qrolg. The
Dow failures , however , Including that of
Epglcston , grow out of the collapse In pork
and lard corners yestcrdny. When these
wcro out of the way and the other houses
pnssoil the clearing house thcro began a
good feeling.
Wheat took the load with a bound of 4 > fc
In September prlco to ( MJi'o , with the close
ftt 02J/o. Corn cloned ijfo higher , after
telling nearly 2c over last night. Oats
pained Ic. In provisions the packers were
covering their short dales and quotations
rose II. IU for pork , ( Xo ) for larJ and S-JJ-fc for
ribs.
It was n wild opening and sales during the
flrst few minutes eovcro'l n rnnijo of IJfc for
Boptembcr. prices varying widely In different
part * of the crowd , though all sale ? woro-nt
least l > .fu nbovo the Unal flgure * of yester
day.
day.The
The announccmcntof the failure of Parker
fcCo. and Orclg was almost unnoticed , so
far as any effect on prices \v.w concjnied
being regarded ns the logical sequel of
yesterday's downfall of the provision clique.
There wns u decidedly different aspect to
affairs uhen the trades of Eggleston ft Co.
were publicly ordered closed , as they wcro
known to be carrying a large quantity of
cash wheat. Their suspension created a
panicky feeling for a few minutes , during
which the price dropped to B8J c. At
this point It WIIH discovered that there was
no wheat to be sold out for the suspended
firm , P. D. Armour < fe Co. having , It is said ,
assumed their holdings of short wheat. That
left no trades to bo closed for them except
the wheat they had sold sliort against the
cash stuff. That being the case , the market
quickly recovered to 01 e , ami for some
time It fluctuated between GOc and G'JJi'c in
a noi vous way.
When it became apparent thnt no more
failures wcro Imminent the boom commenced
In earnest. With expert clearances aggre
gating 0,000,000 bu. , and gold being iinx | > rtcd
in largo amounts the timidity of buyers
rapidly disappeared. N. H. Koam led the
purchasers. Commission houses began to
tret buying orders from outside as the session
ndvunccd , and in the final half hour the de
mand was fast and furious.
O. H. Kggloston , or "Sandy , " ns ho Is
almost universally known , was one of the
leading figures in the Kcrshaw failure that
resulted In the collapse of Harper six years
ago. On that occasion ho lost $804,000 in
cash trying to save n $25,000 special partner
ship In the ICorshaw concern. Ho had some
money loft , however , and a wife worth $1-
(100,000. ( Doing ono of the host posted men
In the trndo and the Intricacies of the grain
and provision carrying business , and having
the confidence of the banks , ho wont Into
that , line of business on n very extensive
scale , and is supposed to have made bade
nearly all ho lost through Kcrshaw nud
Harper.
Eggleston himself refuses to make uny
statement of his affairs for publication , but
It is generally thought by his friends that ho
has put about $500,000 , into the game and
that D. Egglcston may bo in the gap for
9500.000 , spread out all over the floor. How
much of that Is protected by margins cannot
bo ascertained to n certainty for several
days. D. Egglcston & Co. acted ns a clear
ing house for n dozen or more brokers who
did not have the moans to swing their
trades. The failure leaves them high and
dry and may embarrass them considerably.
> Parker & Co. had nearly $500,000 In cash
in the business , and the house was regarded
as ono of the soundest on the Board of
Trade.
"I do not know how I stand , " said George
Paricor. "I only know I pot caught in the
cap for more money than I could raise and I
had to Ho down. I considered myself ns
sound ns the Dunk of England yesterday , to
il ay I am Uroko. I had n big line of pro
visions on my books , and my principals were
unable to respond to margin calls. That left
mo to stand the racket alone , and I was not
strong enough for it. "
Were your principals Cudahy , Fairbank
or Wright ? "
"All of them. "
Thomas Grolg Is a Scotchman but honovcr
had any great trade. Ho was louir on pork
at high figures. The liabilities of the
Ciiduhy-Falrbank-Wright combination as
represented by closed-out trades on 'Change '
tonny are estimated at 11.000,000 to $ lfiOO,000
over and above their margin deposits.
The Cudahy Packing company. It seems ,
Is not Involved in the falluro of John Cudahy
and it is given out as ono of the trade-half
icercU that ho sacrificed his interest in the
company and also In the Cudahy Packing
company of Milwaukee to raise money to
carry on his speculations , his brothers buyIng -
Ing him out.
A feature of the day was the open buying
of everything on the list by Armour's
brokers. His purchases were on n prodlg-
ous scale. Buying In the other pits , how
ever , was dwarfed alongside wheat.
Corn opened excited , with sales a fraction
nbovo and below the llnal figures of yester
day and under a good demand , ono concern
buying freely , sold up lj e , afterwards workIng -
Ing back { c , changed some , ruled steady
and nt the close had gained from 1 jtfo to 1 Vc ,
Oats again advanced from Jfe to J/c ; out-
sldo figures wcro maintained ut the closn ,
but the gain was established. The strength
came from corn and also from wheat.
There was also a liberal demand from shorts
null less pressure to sell except on the bulge.
The provision' market , after its severe
sickness of the day before , opened qulto con-
valeseont. Besides Armour ft Co. , Nelson.
Morris & Co. , Swift & Co. . the Anglo-Ameri
can Packing company and other big concerns
which have been absentees during the Cud
ahy regime all took n hand in the transac
tions. They came in as buyers , for the most
part.There
There was n largo business done In lard
for oxport. 5,000 tierces being reported taken
for England nud 0,000 tierces for Germany.
Following so promptly on the collapse of the
price it In not impossible that these foreign
shipments nro going forward on Chicago ac
count. Lard and other commodities , It Is
said , can bo carried much more cheaply
abroad than they can here at present. Clos
ing prices were at the top of the day.
Freights wore dull ; the inabilit
Krs to sell exchange , checking business ,
itos were l > < fo and ljc for wheat and lo

NEW YOUK , Aug. 2. The Improvement
which sot In yesterday at the Stock exchange -
change made further progress today. The
heavy importation of gold has rcliovoa the
strain in financial circles and Is mainly re
sponsible for the recovery in both the stock
nnd bond market. The rise today was as
sisted by the purchases for the account of
leading operators , who saw the opportunity
of making a profitable turn at the expanse.
of the shorts. The fact th-it the bears ex-
perloncod diniculty in making prompt dn-
llverlcs nnd that when the donruiJ to cover
bcc.ime urgent the supply of stocks was
found to bo scarce , also had a marked in
fluence ,
'Ihe rlso suffered no particular interruption
until after midday , when some of the smaller
hulls realised prollts and prices yielded 1 to
! % per cent. The bears at once started to
put out u fresh line of short contracts , but
after u hrlef spell of weakness the market
nguln mot with ofTuctlvu support , and as H
rule the best figures of the day were at
tained ,
The largest advances were 9 % per cent in
Chicago Gas , 0 per cent in Lackawannu , 8K
per cent in General Ulectrlc , 8K per cent In
Hurliiigton , u > per cent In Western Union
and 8Jf per cent in St. Paul. Thcro was u
dlfTcrcnro of anywhere from 1 to UJ per cent
between the sales at Intervals , so great was
the demand to cover. Shortly before the
close another reaction of K to 2 per cent
occurred , but this was succeeded by another
recovery of Jtf 16 3 per cent and speculation
left off utrong In tone.
There was an improved demand for bonds
today and the tona was strong throughout.

The Post says : Whoever thought yenter-
dny that the failures In the Chicago produce
markets would upset reviving confidences
were speedily disabused today. From the
wheat pit to the bond room thu single senti
ment voiced among the New York financier *
was that of lutonso relief. For one thing it
was nt once discovered that the strong boxes
of bankrupt western pacicers had been
already emptied. Their prlvuto hoards , no
less than those of the Milwaukee bank ,
secured the mass of gilt edged
railroad securities , which went out at
so violent a rate. This morning's few fur
ther Chicago failures vroro learned of vlth-
out a slgu of real apprehension , the banks
seeming to hare escaped intact. From Lon

taken for expert from the bank. Coincldon-
tally the swelling price of American coin at

It has becoiuo evident from the talk
with the southern members who are
coming in thut the people in Unit section
are more- concerned In preserving bl
mctalllsin than they tire in maintaining
the presentratio between gold and silver/
for coinage purposes. It is quite evident
thut tliuro is a determination among
the southern members not to per
mit the demonetization of silver , for
the reason that they believe that both
silver nnil gold are needed as the basil
of a national currency , but they appear
to have very little interest in fuVor ol
the mlno owners' point of view , nnd tho'y
have as a rule no objection tou consider
able increase in tlio ratio upon which
the free coinage of gold and silver
should bu established. What they wnni ,
apparently , is the free coinage of Hilvor ,
on the theory that it will give morq
money , but they are perfectly willing
that the silver dollar sliould be placed
on a purity with gold by increasing the
n mount of silver in the coin , The rally
