It was that of W. L. Stow & Co. Jcteat cheer rent the air a cheer from the victorious bears. The market wavered In Us nervousness, hut It was clear that there was mare work to be done. Prices continued their downward course and new low records were established In a score of Industrial stocks. Then it again became known that another falluro was to be announced. Once more the chairman rore In his gnl lerv and commanded the attention ot the excited brokers. This time the announce ment was made of the failure of the great commission lirm of T. J. Taylor & Co.. In whose office James R. Keene had since 1901 directed the manipulation of the greatest of all bull markets. Another cheer greeted this announcement, but It was even louder and more powerful than that which greeted the news ot the collapse of W. L. Stow & Co. When the news of tho two failures was digested the market Immediately showed signs of Improvement, but hesitated on the reports that another suspension was to be a:nounced. There were, however, no fur ther announcements made, and the street Immediately assumed that the worst was over. The traders thereupon began to bid up prices and the market closed with a remarkable show of strength, SAGn THE LARGEST SECURED CREDITOR. It was stated in a prominent banking house that Russell Sage Is the largttit se cured cedltor of the bankrupt firm of Tay lor & Co. All the leading bonks have held some of the time and call loans of the Keene bro kers, but tho most expert opinion that pre vailed had It that most of the largest loans were "bailed" out In the heavy liquidation In the last week or more. In fact, the at torneys of Taylor & Co. admitted to-night that It was due to the inability of Taylor & Co. to liquidate the stocks held by them which compelled a suspension. James R, Keene, when asked for an ex pression of his views late to-night said: J. R. KEENE SAYS STOCKS ARE CHEAP. "What's the use of discussing a situation when ruling prices are absolutely out of touch with real values. The wonder Is that such a condition can prevail In Wall street The market is demoralized; there seems to bo a craze to sell everything; people are as eager to sell as they were to buy a year ago, when stocks were DO per cent higher. "Stocks are very cheap, but there is such a deluge of them due to recent liquidation, and such timidity on the part of buyers that except in a few Issues, there is no market And this while business Is ex cellent throughout tho country, railroad earnings large, and crops promising. Wall street Is the only black spot" When asked regarding the failure of Tal bot J. Taylor & Co., Mr. Keene said: "I have nothing to do with that I think the suspension will be but temporary. They evidently thought It useless to go on far ther, although all their stocks were mar gined up to bank requirements." "Did the Southern Pacific pool have any bearing on tho failure?" "The Southern Pacific pool was dissolved three or four months ago." The collapse of tho two firms will lnvolv liabilities of millions ot dollars, but up to a late hour to-night no estimate was made as to the extent of the aggregate losses. Only 200 shares of Southern Pacific were sold "under the rule" following the an nouncement of the failures. CUSTOMERS' MARGINS BECAME EXHAUSTED. At tho office of W. L. Stow It was said the firm had been earning a great number of customers whose margins had been ex hausted. Mr. Stow, it was said, was such an implicit believer In Mexican Central that he used his resources to the utmost in pro tecting his friends. PIERCE MIGHT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SAVE STOW. According to the statement of a person speaking for Stow & Co.. the failure would have been avoided if Henry Clay Pierce, president of the Mexican Central, had been accessible. Unfortunately Mr. Pierce had accompa nied the New York club cruise, and funds which. It was stated, he would have been willing to supply In order to permit Mr. Stow to complete what would have been a brilliant stock-market coup were not at tainable. The Mexican Central Railway, Limited, of Mexico, was incorporated February 25. 1E80, under the Massachusetts laws, and holds a Mexican charter and subsidy. Its main lino runs from Mexico City to Juarez, a distance of 1.244 miles. In March, 1901, a syndicate headed by H. Clay Plerco of St Louis acquired a major ity of the stock, the amount of which out standing at that time was about e4S.000.000. In January, 1902, the company Issued 10, 000,000 collateral trust five-year -percent bonds, secured by $16,125,000 consolldat 4 per-cent consols of the Mexican Central proceeds of which were used for the retire ment of f6.000.000 notes issued in payment of the Monterey and Mexican Railroad. Tho balance was used, according to report, for the extension of the Monterey road. The Mexican Central Securities Company, limited, was formed in 1899, to acquire the 4 ptT cent consols of tho Mexican Central Railway, "and to Issue In their place two classes of securities." Several prominent Englishmen, Including Lord Hllllngdon and Lord Revelstoke. were among the original trustees of the securities company. The appended statement was Issued at tho office of Taylor & Co. this evening: JAMES R. KEENE IS UNSECURED CREDITOR. "Talbot J. Taylor & Co. have this day executed a general assignment for the bene fit of creditors to Philip J. Brltt. and he has accepted the assignment, and has taken charge of tho property and assets of the firm. "The assignment of the firm Is due to their Inability to liquidate the stocks which tho banks held for their account. All banks having loans with them are well protected, but the Inability to liquidate the stocks so held has caused the suspension, which, it is hoped, will be temporary. If the banks take the reasonable view that by waiting grad ual liquidation can be effected without dis turbance to the stock market The largest unsecured creditor of the firm Is Mr. James R. Keene." Efforts to ascertain the amount of the firm's Indebtedness to Mr. Keene were un successful. The assignee Is a prominent Tammany politician, and Is well-known as a closo friend of Mr. Keene. To-da) 's failures In the exchange were the first since May 5 of last year. That day three firms, nil of them Involved In the Webb-Mejer syndicate, went.Jinder. Two resumed business. LOCAL HOLDERS NOT AFFECTED Margins Covered When Demands Were Made. As far as could be learned, holders of Mexican Central securities in St Louis were not affected by yesterday's break in the New York market, and the failures of Talbott J. Taylor & Co. and W. L. Stowe & Co. A large partof the stock and bonds of the Mexican Central Is owned here. Ave directors of the corporations. Including H. Clay Pierce Its president, being residents of St. Louis. For the most part the se curities aro owned outright or carried on heavy margin. The largest stockholders here are H. Clay Pierce, Ebeu Richards. J. C. Van Blarcom. Gabriel Morton and Breckenrldge Jones. These men aro directors and officer? of the company, and hold their securities for In vestment Thei are several times mil lionaires and vell able to protect their holdings Local brokers and financiers believe the bottom was reached with the low price of jcsterday. and look for an improvement in the situation from now on. The two failures it is thought will tend to clear up the financial atmosphere. From brokers handling New lork ac counts it was learned that St. I.ouls customers were not greatly nffectfd bv yesterdav's break. The calls for ad ditional margins weie for the most part promptly met. with tho result that thero was llttlo forced liquidation. NEGRO PRISONER ENDS LIFE.

PROTEST CHANGE OP UDELL'S HIE, Property Owners Up 5n Arms Against Calling Thoroughfare Camp Jackson Avenue. APPEAL TO MAYOR WELLS. Petition Asks Chief Executive to Xot Sign Bill Until Holders ' of Real Estate Have a Hearing. The property owners on Lindoll avenuo from Channlng to Grand avenucsareup In arms against tho proposed changing of tho name of Llndell avenue to Camp Jackson avenue. As an evidenco of their Indignity tho own ers of property havo filed a remonstrance with Major Wells asking that he withhold his signatura from the bill until tho pro testing petitioners have a chance to express their views It Is claimed that the first Intimation given regarding the changing of tho name of tho street was the anriouncement In the press that tho Council and House had passed the bill authorizing tho change. A protest was Immediately prepared and circulated among the property owners who attached their signatures to the document "We would not have objected so strenu ously to tho proposed change," said T. J. Lonergan of No. SKB Llndell avenuo, "It we had received a chance to voice our senti ment In the matter. "The bill seems to have been railroaded through both branches of the Municipal Assembly, and tho first thing we heard of It was that the measure had passed both houses. Another thing, we believe It Mil be damaging to property Interests." The protest was circulated yesterday, and every property owner who could be seen placed his signature to the document, at the same tlmo expressing himself In strong lan guage against the change. It was stated last night that tho protest had been filed with Mayor Wells, and that tho Mayor had been requested by Corwln H. Spencer to not sign the measure until the property owners had an opportunity to explain their reasons for objecting to the proposed change. PEITION TO THE MAYOR. It Isn't the changing of the name to Camp Jackson that Is particularly objected to, for the majority of the property holders. It seems, like that name, but It Is on general principles that the objection Is made. Nicholas M. Bell, who owns property on Llndell avenue, states that the ctange in name will greatly depreciate In value all the property on Llndell avenue from Channlng to Grand avenues. Mr. Bell terms the proposition an Injustice. Among tho property owners who have de nounced the proposed change are: Captain Joseph Anson, J. W. Harrison. John Hogan. Horace Stone, R. M. Collins. R. II. Bernard, Abe Slupsky and Charles Sonnemann, all of whom own valuablo property on Llndell avenuo east of Grand avenue. Others who have signed tho protest express the same view a "Wo object to the proposed change." Raid one of the property holders last night "be cause It Is unjust The matter came up be fore the Municipal Assembly without any publicity whatever. None of us knew any thing of It until it was announced In the papers that the bill making the change had passed both houses. "Mayor Wells has been asked to withhold his signature until he hears from the prop erty owners. "The street only a year ago was recon structed by the property owners at a great expense, and I believe that all the costs of this improvement have been paid. "We have secured the signature of nearly ever" property owner on the street to the protest and I do not believe Mayor Wells will decline to give us the proper consider ation." Although tho measure has passed both houses It Is not yet a law, and that Is why tho property owners have protested to Mayor Wells. The bill was onco killed In the House and afterwards reconsidered and passed, jet It Is claimed that If the Mayor vetoes It there la still a chance for it being forever killed. It was said last night that members of both the Housa and Council have stated slnco the measure was passed that If they had known that there would havo been a protest they would havo voted and even worked against the passage -f the measuro. The property owners are waiting with much anxiety the action of Mayor Wells, for upon bis action depends largely Its final disposition. EXCITEMENT IN BULGARIA MAY HAVE SERIOUS RESULT.

OBJECT TO ft SALOO Petition to Open Dramshop 2car Finney Avenue Arouses TJom- dents of the Neighborhood. WILL COMPLAIN TO SEiBERT. Property Holders Declare Old Doc ument Which They Signed a Year Ago Is Now Being Used to Get Location. A petition to open a dramshop at No. 1015 North Grand avenue has caused con siderable indignation among residents In the vicinity of Grand and Finney avenues, and the probabilities are that a vigorous pro test will soon be registered with the Ex cise Commissioner. The cause of the trouble, It Is said. Is an old petition, which, the residents claim. Is now being used. About a j ear ago Joseph Badaracco, a memter of tho firm of Badaracco S Sons, got up a petition to open a saloon at No CG01 Finney avenue. Signatures were ob tained, but as a remonstrance was made by residents In the enlghborhood, the saloon project was abandoned. The petition was not filed with the Exclso Commissioner. Several dajs ago a patrolman made a house-to-house-canvass with a petition to open a saloon at No. 1W5 North Grand ave nue, which is part of the building at No. 3C03 Finney. The patrolman's canvass was to see If the signatures" were bona fiSe. All recognized their signatures, but many were surprised to see the petition, as they had heard nothing of It for a year. They could not deny the signatures, but many failed to notice that the location of the saloon which they had signed for a year ago wa3 changed. The location of the proposed saloon Is to be across the street from the Rock Church, not far from the Odeon, and but a few hundredfeet from the High School. One resident wrote a letter to Excise Commissioner Selbert repudiating his sig nature, saving that he had signed for a saloon at No. 3C04 Finney avenue, but not for one at No. 1015 North Grand avenue. Those who were approached , by the police man claim that the original number on tho license was cleverly marked out and tho new one substituted in its stead. The building at No. 1015 Xorth Grand ave nue Is at present occupied by John J. Burke, florist, who. It Is said, has a lease on the place, but whom tho owners will buy out, providing a license Is obtained. Those who are said to be opposed to the dramshop are: Mrs. Dorsey. who owns the property at the corner of Grand and rinney avenues; William H. Roeder, who conducts a music store In tho Olivia building; Wright & Gllmore, who conduct U docoratlng business In tho Olivia build ing, and John Hamlll, manager of Rlno'a photographic studio.
