composing of the firm of Field Lindley
Weichers and Co., bankers and brokers,
assigned todayVithout preference.
The failure was announced on the
produce exchange at noon, but the grain
market was only slightly affected. The
house isin old one, but has lately been
somewhat restricted in its -dealings.
The failure is attributed to the rise in
corn' at New York" and Chicago. It has
been protecting some large lines of corn
from S. V, White deal and had been on
the short side of the November market,
and a few days ago had to cover 500,000
bushels. Just how much of an amount
the firm will find itself unable to pay is
not yet clear. The grain markets is
only slightly afficted by the failure. The
bead of the firm is a son of Cyrus W.
Field. The firm was rated at $750,000 to
$1,000,000.

past the ice privileges is salt, and it will
take a week . of rain to effect it ever so
slightly. Millions of trout in northern

ance, a small Hebrew settlement six
miles from this place, Mrs. Hershkivisky
