[Special Telegram to the Globe.J
Chicago, Aug. 10. — The markets on
'change to-day were more active and some
what excited. Wheat closed higher, corn
lower, rye stronger, provisions weak and
lower. Flour was more active and with an
improved home and outside inquiry, and
it looks as though there wa3 going to be
some reaction from the depression that
has ruled so long. The home jobbers have
quite lirrht stocks, and are looking about
to replenish, while shipping and export
orders are more liberal, and there is a good
call for the low grades and good bakers'
breadr. In winter wheat the receipts were
larger, but the demand was very good and
the competition ainonij buyers caused a
strong feeling and prices ruled lc higher.
The demand was chiefly for shipment,
though some speculative demand also ex
isted.
In the wheat pit regular No.
2 spring was fairly active, and the
feeling considerably unsettled. Foreign
advices were of a favorable tenor, quoting
a strong feeling and higher prices, which
caused a sharp demand early in the day.
The market opened 3-s@££o higher and
advanced, with some fluctuation, an addi
tional \i 3^->c. Later, however, influenced
by larger receipts of both spring and
"winter wheat, the aggregate receipts being
130 cars against 87 cars yesterday, the
market ruled easier. Sellers became more
numerous, and the additional news that
two brokers in Indianapolis had not opened
their doors this morning brought out free
offerings, and prices declined per
bushel from the outside range. The
weather in the west was also reported fine.
The market finally rallied again and
closed about %Q%Q higher than the
closing figures yesterday. Prices were
also stimulated by an advance of }£c in
New York, but the early buying was either
by shorts or brokers and outside operators
who went in for a scalp, and when the first
demand was filled bidding became 6low,
outside orders for round lots were scarce.
When prices took a down turn the bulls
met ihe hammeriug of the bears with
a strong resistance. Wheat closed on the
board steady. On the curb at $1.043 £ for
September, and :<l.oo" 3 for October. Ves
sels were chartered at Chicago to convey
179,0<Xi bushel?, and at New York for 500,
--000 bnf hels.
In the coi-n pit the market was quiet,
a lar^o aggregate business was transacted
taking the market on the whole. Shippers '
bought fairly, with trading chiefly spec- |
illative. The feeling was somewhat easier j
and prizes ruled lower all aound. Warmer <
weather and larger receipts, together with j
the weakness in the provision market,
bank troubles in Indiana and a large de
cline in the New York market bringing
out rather free offerings. The market
opened a shade lo;ver and then rallied }.j j
fPXo, but later under large offerings,!
prices fell of %c for August and for j
September and October below early out
side prices, fluctuated and finally closed
about lc lower for cash, }%c lower for i
September, and \£c lower for October, j
than the closing yesterday, while the more j
deferred futures declined but slightly.
Dows was rather a free seller of Septem
ber corn, which influenced the local tailers |
to let go their holdings. The inspection
showed an equivalent of 57S cars against
Cl 2 yesterday. The closing on 'change was
unsteady; and the curb September corn
closed at 50j£c At Chicago vessels were
taken to carry 110.000 bushels, and at New
York for 200,000 bushels.
Oats were quite strong, declining fortho
early part of the day, and there was quite
a rush to sell all futures, resulting in a
break of %c for August and ?&(: for the
year delivery, to only a slight recovery.
Other crops were lower, and the fine crop
prospects was giving this depression. No.
2 was very dull for new. There were in
creased receipts and limited demand both
for shipping and speculative demand,
clo? : i heavy.
Trading was quite brisk in the market
for hog product* to-day, but the feeling
■was greatly an*tttled and prices irregular,
and on the whole range decidedly lower.
The surrounding- of the trade were gen
erally unfavorable to holders and buyers,
while the offerings for future delivery were
materially increased. The receipts
of hogs were somewhat larger,
and prices lower, and the
telegraphic acvices from both foreign and
domestic markets showed an easy feeling,
and in some cases lower prices were quoted.
In addition to this, the reported financial
trouble in Indianapolis assisted in weaken
ing the market, and tended to increase the
call for margins* and also to enlarge the
offerings to some extent on behalf of out
side parties. The shipping demand was
moderate, for orders chiefly for limited
quantities. The receipts of products were
not very large, while the shipments were
quite liberal of pork and meats, and rather
light of lard. The market opened com
paratively steady about the closing figures
of yesterday, but soon weakened and prices
declined quite rapidly, with few fluctua
tions to the inside range. Toward the
close the feeling was steadier, trading mod
erate and prices exhibited a slight improve
ment for a while; in the provision pit
there were appearances of a panic
but values are too near hard pan to be
hammered much longer, The demand for
mess pork was quite active, especially
from short?, and the offerings were quite
liberal. Trading was quite brisk during
the early part of the session. At the
opening the market exhibited .a fair de
gree of steadiness, but soon weakened and
prices receded 20@ 25c. Later, the feel
ing was steadier and prices rallied s@loc,
but the offerings greatly exceeded the de
mand and prices gradually settled back
25@30c. Toward the close prices rallied
25@30c and closed comparatively steady.
The shipping inquiry was rather light,
cash in small request.
A fair business was transacted in lard,
but almost exclusively on speculative ac
count. The offerings were quite liberal and
the inquiry moderately active in a general
way, and chiefly to provide for
outstanding contracts. The market ope n
ed rather quiet at yesterday's closing fig
ures, and soon declined 10@12>£c per 100
pounds. Later the feeling was steadier
and prices rallied 2^@sc but weakened
again 5® 10 about noon. Toward the dose
the market was steadier but rather quiet
and prices were 10@12^c higher. Ship
ping demand was rather light. Cash
quiet.
Rumors were afloat on 'change yester
day of distress among the Cincinnati
banks, and also at Minneapolis but were
subsequently denied. The rumors affected
provisions more than anything else. Hogs
continue to be marketed largely in excess
of the corresponding time last year, when
the movement was exceptionally light.
For the week the packing at all western
points reached 125,000 hogs,
the same as the preceding
week, and compared with 50,000 last
year inakiDg the total from March 1 to
date 2,480,000,000, against 2,300,000 a year
ago, a gain this season of 180,000 in num
ber and additionally in the heavier weight
fully equivalent to a like number. Mess
pork has dropped to a lower point than
previously this season followed with a
moderate rally. Recent declines have ap
parently resulted from the plentifulness of
supplies without corresponding demand,
rather than trading efforts to break prices
down. On March 1 packing points out
side of the large cities in the wtst held a
much heavier stock than last year, and
since that day have made about the same
amount of product as last year. The
average weight of hogs packed in the west
to date is upward of 20 pounds per hog in
excess of last year — at Chicago 22 pounds,
Kansas City 39 pounds, Cincinnati
8 pounds, averaging 25 pounds for the
three cities. For July the inoreased aver
age was 28 pounds at Chicago, 42 at Kan
sas City, 31 at Cincinnati.
Rye continues Btrong and higher prices
were paid at the opening for cash and for
all features, and the tone was a firm one
for a closing. The call for cash has been
on shipping and export account, and the
stocks are being rapidly reduced, and this
was holding all futures firm.
For barley there was no market. Some
sample lots were offered, but there was no
demand for them, and nearly all had to be
carried over. There was no speculative
trading. Operators are holding off and
will be likely to remain out of the market
until the rule for grading No. 2 shall haye
been fully determined.
NEW YORK.
I Special Telegram to the Globn.]
New York, Aug. 10— Another day of
great excitement on the stock exchange,
the army of bears being augmented by
some of the most conservative houses, cov
ering everything before them. Every day
or two something occurred to shake the
faith of ho lof stocks. This morning
came reports from Indianapolis that there
was trouble in that city, and Wall stieet
has been at fever heat in consequence. A
break in Erie and a trouble in Central Pa
cific of 3 per cent, were the disturbing
features of the morning. Even the most
stable properties succumbed, notably
Northwestern and St. Paul. Oregon
Transcontinental dropped to 7O 5 .|; the
Northern Pacifies were pressed for sale, and
the coal stocks, which have heretofore stood
firm, gave way at last. There were rallies
during the afternoon, but they were short
lived. In the last half hour prices were
weak and the market dreadfully feverish.
It acted as Ihough about to break wide
open at any moment. The decline has
not been caused by bearish attacks alto
gether. Many long stocks were thrown
overboard, and the liquidating process
continued until the last. Denver declined
from 38 t033J?0, with a big business in it.
In Northwesterns earnings during the first
week in August increased $41,000. There
was a gradual decline nearly all day; the
rallies wen- few and feeble. On the wholr,
the decline was not so great as might have
been expected.
There was evidence of somo sustaining
power iv the Vanderbilt and Gould stocks.
Hod the Villards were not frilly demoral
ized. Erie common and Central Pacilic
vtre the especially weak spots on the
market. There seemed to be no one es
pecially interested in taking c.ire of them.
It looks as if the clique in Jersey Central
had found their load too heavy and thrown
some of it over today. The close was
very weak and the indications are for
lower prices to-morrow. The Waerishoffer
brokers were doing a little buying.
The morning paper.? had full accounts
of the St. Louis passenger fight and Cali
fornia rate difficulty, and were inclined to
treat it very seriously. This weakened
the market and the news that two banks
of Indianapolis had not opened this morn
ing caused etill farther demoralization.
Puts on Central Pacifios at G3c were
bought of Mills by prominent bears, and
the stock was jammed and many
puts sold within one-half of
an hour. The pressure for
the day was on this, Erie, Canadian South
ern, Northwestern and the coalers. The
end of the telegrapher's strike was report
ed, and the Vanderbilt and Villard stocks
ceased to yield to the terriffc pressure, and
the market turned for a moment. Towards
the last hour it wrs reported that the In
dianapolis syndicate were unable to raise
the necessary funds, and prices through
out the list wilted steadily lower. The re
port is that several first class operators re
turned to work in the Western Uoion New
York office to-day, and that a number will
return tomorrow.
Huntingt«n says the ontlook for busi
ness for Central Pacific is good, and there
is every reason to expect the regular
per cent, dividend*. Its July net

ST. PAUL, MINK, SATURDAY MORNING, AUGUST 11, 1883.— TEN PAGES.
earnings will be one hundred
thousp .id dollars increase over last year,
and expenses smaller. Northern Pacific
earnit js for the first week in August in
crease 1 $.-.0,000, Chicago, Milwaukee <fc St.
Paul 10. $71,300. It is reported that
Gould is buying New York Central. St.
Paul earnings from January to July in
clusive increased $1,917,000. The transac
tions in stock to-day aggregate 249,000
shares.
Kiernan says there is a general impres
sion that commercial liquidation is nearly
completed, and an upward turn m the
market may be expected. The Gould
stocks have been comparatively dull.
They have been described as acting very
much as an individual does immediately
ifte* a severe Illness. It is
i tat .-d that some of the strong
1 Ol lers have lately reduced their lines, also
ha: fome of the members of the old bull
pO >• in Kansas & Texas and Texas Pacific
hava lately been buying for a turn. Public
sen'iment on the Villard stocks is undoubt
edly bearish. It is believed that Mr,
Gould intends to lower the price of Oregon
Transcontinental and Northern Pacifia
preferred considerably before the opening
of the road. One object alleged is an in
tention to cover shorts put out at much
lower prices. Another alleged reason is
that the stocks are too high on their merits
and would be a drag upon the proposed
buli market. The impression that Villard
stocks are selling above their real value
is general. It is stated on all sides
that a company cannot expect to
pay dividends at the start on new roads;
that too many auxiliary companies have
been f jrmed; that the company cannot
hope to pay dividends on all its various
stocks for years under the most favorable
circumstances. A statement has been
inaJe to the effact that Northern Pacific
would have to earn $18,000,000 net to pay
fixed charges and dividends on stocks of
the various companies outstanding. It is
alleged that a pamphlet overpraising the
Villiard stocks is likely to be issued soon,
something the same as the laudatory leaf
let in regard to Louisville <fc Nashville cir
culated shortly before the depression in
that stock set in. Rumors of loans called
or io be called have been current, and
predictions of this and that party
being obliged to sell have abounded. Alto
gether it is evident that a very powerful
bear movement against the Villard stocks
18 in progress. Mr. Morgan, of Drexel,
Mergnn «fc Co., when questioned as to the
feeling in London regarding American
securities, said that if New York would
mark up the price of stocks 5 or 6 points,
and keep the market there sor a short time,
Europe wouid take all the stocks we cared
to sell. This is significant as expressing
the best conservative sentiment of the
street.

An Episode at the Lake Blutt' Assembly
Which Knocks the Doctrine of Sauctili
catton Into a Cooked Hat.
LSpecial Telegram to the Globe. |
Lake Bluff, Aug. 10. — A singular occur
rence took Dlace in the tabernacle this
evening. D. Laughlin McClain, one of the
praying band and a professor of sanctifi
cation, arose at the close of the sermon
and confessed that he had this morning
committed a sin, and asked for the prayers
of the congregation. It was learned that
after breakfast, Mr. McClain and J. Boyd,
another member of the praying band, ad
journed to the piazza for a good quiet
time, and sat down in a group of brethren.
They were on the best of terms, but in less
than five seconds began an accrimonious
quarrel about the doctrine of holiness,
which lnsied half an hour, and totally es
tranged them. In the course of
the remarks, Mr. • Boyd told
Mr. McClain that his manner of
relating his expedience drove numbers of
people out of the tabernacle. Mr. McClain
grew very much excited, and the top of his
head, which is bald, got as red as a beet.
Among the choice things he said to Mr.
Boyd was that if Jesus Christ were to
come to Lake Bluff he woald take a whip
and scourge Mr. Boyd out of the taberna
cle. He also told him that he was aillicted
with softening of the brain. At one time
during the quarrel the disputants shook
hands and declared the break healed, but
in less than half a minute it was renewed
with more venom than before. A dozen
persons were standing around, and all
agreed that McClain had sinned.
He strenuoEsly denied it until the
close of the meeting, and then confessed
his sin before all the public, fell on his
knees and said he wanted to be prayed for
at once. Mr. Harding conducted the ser
vice, and he said: "Well, Mac, pray for
yourself," but Mac declined to do so until
Mr. Harding had offered a short prayer,
after which he confessed his soul to God
and prayed for more grace in the future.
This unfortunate denouement greatly em
barrassed the seeker after sanctifioation.
and Dr. Lowry, who is the head and front
of the doctrine in the United States, fairly
gasped.
Bound for the Yellowstone.
New Yobk, Aug. 10.— A party of distin
guished Europeans, who came over here at
the invitation of Rnfus Hatch to visit tie
Yellowstone park, started on their journey
this morning. It numbered over fifty per
sons, and will remain over Sunday at Ni
agara Falls, resuming thei% trip Monday
to Chicago, where they will take a special
train over the Northern Pacific railroad to
the Yellowstone park. Numerous stops
will be made along the route to enable the
visitors to inspect the great grain fa^ms of
the west. It is expected the Yellowstone
will be reached August 26, and after a stay
of two weeks, the party will return. A
portion of the party will visit Manitoba
before returning.

[Special Cablegram to the Globe. 1
London, Aug. 10. — A paper at Constanti
nople announces the discovery of Noah's
ark. It appears that some Turkish com
missioners appointed to investigate the
question of avalanches on Mount Ararat
suddenly came upon a gigantic structure
of very dark wood protruding from a
glacier. They made inquiry of the in
habitants. These had seen it for six years,
but had been afraid to approach it be
cause a spirit of fierce aspect had been
seen looking out of the npper window.
The Turkish commissioners, however, are
bold men not deterred by such trifles, and
they determined to reach it. Situated as
it was among the fastnesses of one of the
glens of Mount Ararat, it was a work of
enormous difficulty, aud it was only after
incredible hardships that they succeeded.
The ark, one will be glad to hear,
was ; n a good state of preservation, al
though the angles observed about the bow
or stern had been a good deal broken in
its descent. They recognized it at once.
There was an Englishman among them
who had presumably read his Bible, and
he saw it was made of the ancient gopher
wood of scripture, which, as every one
knows, grows only on the plains of the
Euphrates. Effecting an entrance into the
structure, which was painted brown,
they found that the admiralty re
quirements for the conveyance of
horses had been carried out, and the in*
terior was divided into partitions fifteen
feet high. Into three of these only could
they get, the others being full of ice, and
how far the ark extended into the glacier
they could not tell. If, however, on being
uncovered it turns out to be 300 cubits
long it will go hard with disbelievers in
the book of Genesis. Needless to say, an
American was soon on the spot and nego
tiations have been entered into with the
local pasha for its speedy transfer to the
United States.
SPAIN.
London, Aug. 10. — Particulars of the re
volts of the parish garrison at Leo De
Hergel, in the province of Lerida, Spain,

Superintendent Devorn, stationed at
Columbus, who was known to be in sym
pathy with the brotherhood. This deter
mination was communicated to. the
operators and was immediately followed by
an order to strike at 6 o'clock, which was
sent out by Master Workman Egan. It
was obeyed by all operators in this city,
including the chief train dispatchers, and
seems to have been generally obeyed all
along the line. Superintendent Taylor ad
mits this, but says the strike has not ex
tended beyond Denison, Ohio, and by to
morrow the principal offices will be sup
plied. In the meantime, the trains will be
run on schedule. It is stated the operators
on the Pitteburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago
railroad will be ordered out to-morrow.

THE CROPS.
The August Report of the Department of
Agriculture— A Decrease iv the Condition
of Cotton — Wheat and Corn Up to the
Average.
Washington, Aug. 10. — August cotton
returns to the department of agriculture
are less favorable than those of July. The
condition is lower in every state, except
two on the northern border belt, Virginia
and Tennessee. The plant is suffering
from meteorological vagaries this peculiar
season. It was too cold in May, too wet
in June and too dry in July. In Georgia
injury is greatest, the condition falling
fro m 93 to 78. la South Carolina the de
cline has been 91 Io 80. The prolific cot
ton belt of middle Alabama has suffered
severely from drought, while the
southern counties and valley of Tennes
see have bad seasonable weather.
The upland counties of central ana north
eastern Mississippi report injury from
drouth very generally. There is need of
rain in central and southern Texas, but the
drouth has been less general and injurious
than in Georgia. There has been ample
rain in a large portion of the Louisiana
cotton district, and in nearly all cotton
counties in Florida. In Tennessee gener
ally, and in a majority of the North Caro
lina counties, where the drouth has been
severest, fields stimulated by commercial
fertilizers are fruiting the top crop pre
maturely and plants are drying up, as is
usually the case under these circumstances.
The general average condition has fallen
to 84 from 90 in July. The record stands
by states : Virginia, 87; North
Carolina, 87; South Carolina, 80;
Georgia, 7S; Florida, 93; Alabama,
83; Mississippi 85; Louisiana 85; Texas
89; Arkansas 73; Tennessee 90. Reports
of the presence of the caterpillar are num
erous in the Gulf coast states. Central
Alabama is infested more seriously than
Texas and Georgia and Louisiana, more
than Mississippi. They are not reported
in Virgina, the Carolinas, or Tennessee, or
Arkansas. The first brood are webbed up
in some places, the second and fears ex
pressed of serious injury from the third.
Tons of arsenic in various forms are ap
plied to avert such calamity. The ball
worm is only reported at a few points in
Arkansas and Texas. While ithe relative
condition of cotton compared with the re
turns of former years is uhpromising, the
volume of the crop depends largely on the
more critical period from August to Octo
ber.
COBN.
There has been an improvement in the
appearance of the corn fields during the
month of July, in New England, Middle
states, Ohio valley and west of the Miss
issippi. In Illinois. Missouri and Kansas
it is slight, measured by a single point.
There has been a retrograde in the south
in consequence of the drought, and some
decline in Michigan from too much mois
ture. Taking the whole area together the
condition advanced from 88 to 89 per oent.
of a perfect crop. The condition of the
census crop of 1879 in August was 99, and
the yield twenty-eight bushels per acre.
The present returns indicate a yield not
much over twenty-five bushels
per acre, or 1,700,000,000.
bushels, which is as much as was produced
in 1579.
The condition is six points higher than
last year in August, and lower than in
August from 1870 to 1880 inclusive. The
nights have been too cool for a rapid de
velopment, and the crop is late. Fears
are expressed that frost may yet cause dis
aster. In August, 1874, the condition was
one degree higher than the present aver
age, the crop late from wet spring and lo
cal summer droughts, and the }ield less
than twenty-one bushels per acre. The
average of states of principal production
are: Illinois SG; Ohio 81); Kentucky 5»7;
Kansas 1)7; Nebraska <^4; Indiana
95; Michigan <!8; Missouri 97;
lowa 8">; Wisconsin 8">. On the Atlantic
coast: New York <fc Pennsylvania 99; New
Jersey 101. In the south: Virginia 93;
North Carolina 83; South Carolina 70;
Georgia 74; Alabama 80; Mississippi 87;
Louisiana 100; Texas 93; Arkansas 87;
Tennessee 89.
SPBING WHEAT.
The average of the condition of spring
wheat for August 1, is 97, the same as in
1882. In Wisconsin recent rains have in
jured the crop in the southern and south
western counties, average 90. The pros
pect in Minnesota favors a crop of 13)£
bushels per acre, notwithstanding the bad
weather in the early spring and subse
quent drought in the northern counties the
condition is 98. The fears excited by the
excessive heat early in July in northern
Dakota, have been happily dispelled.
Cass and Richland counties promise a
better yield than la%t year. Other counties
will scarcely equal their" last record.
In south Dakota the harvest is progressing.
The straw is bright, heads large and the
yield better than last year. The returns
of August do not essentially change the
indicated aggregate of July for the entire
crop. The result of the harvest will be
more fully tested on the return of the
threshers blanks. It is now certain a
shortage exists, which will require all the
surplus of last year and. keep prices well
sustained.
A cable dispatch received from the Lon
don statistical agent of the department
says the weather his been unsettled the
first ten days of August, and
the temperature luw for this time
of year. The wheat market is advanc
ing and stool; s large. The quality
of the new crop is fair. The general pros
pects of last month's dispatch are confirm
ed. Counting a decrease of acreage, the
total output of Europe's wheat will be one
fifth less, than last year and one-tenth
below average.
The German, French and Russian advices
are worse.
Oats — The condition of oats is represent
ed by 100, a figure surpassed only by last
August since 1878. North of the parallel
of forty degrees a high condition is almost
universal, in some of the western districts
there has been injury from lodging, the
result of storms.
Barley — The condition of barley averages
95, the same as in August 1882,
bnt higher than in any previous
year since 1874. Average for New
York 102, Pennsylvania 97, Ohio
80; Michigan 96; Wisconsin 9G; Minnesota
9G; lowa 99; Nebraska 302; and California
88. These states produce more than two
thirds of the crop.
Potatoes— Returns indicate a full devel
opem6nt of the potato crop and the con
ditionlOl. The promise is better in the
central states west than on the noithern
border, where the soil has been saturated
with moisture.
Buckwheat- -A breadth of baefcwheat
equal to that of last year has b*en sowq
and its condition is high and represented
by 99.
Tobacco — The average condition of to
bacco is SS; Kentucky 93; Tennessee 89;
NO. 223
Virginia 74, North Carolina ("0; Ohio 93,
Connecticut 87, and Wisconsin 90.
COLLAPSING.
TWO IXDIAXAPOLIS BAKKB CLOSE
THEIR DOORS YESTERDAY.
One Subsequently Resumes anil Pays
Checks on Demand-It Will Double .Its
Capital and Retmme Business— Other
Business Troubles.
Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 10.— Large
crowds gathered around the First National
bank acd the Indima Banking company an
hour before opening time this morning.
At 9:42 the doors of both bank 3 were still
closed. The announcement has just been
made that they will not open for two or
three hours. The directors of the First
National bank with several large influen
tial capitalists of the state met at 8 o'clock
this morning and are still in session, but
nothing has been made public as to the
result of the conference.
Lateu— Both suspended banks remained
closed. The following notice was posted
on the door of the First National:
'•The board of directors are in session
considering what is best to be done, but
have not arrived at a conclusion."
The board of direotors of the First
National bank adopted a resolution at
their meeting this morning to double the
stock of the bank, §800,000 of stock in
stead of $400,000, provided the syndicate
headed by Mr. Depau and Mr. English^
was formed to take the management and
controlling amount of the stock. A paper
was drawn up to this effect, which was
signed by all the directors and stock
holders present, and a committee was ap
pointed to get the consent of the stock
holders not present. As soon as this consent
is completed, it is understood that
new and strong parties will come into the
concern that will make it one of the
strongest institutions in the country. It
may take a few days to do this and gather
in the required amount of currency, but
it may be done in a few hours. The other
banks also held a meeting this morning
and agreed that if the proposed syndicate
was formed they would afford all the as
sistance to the First National that might
>c required. It may be said, therefore,
that whilst it is unfortunate that any
trouble occured, there is really no reason
for alarm, and that ultimate good may re
sult from it in giving the bank increased
strength.
Very little information has been ob
tained as to what the Indiana Banking
company may do, but it is probable they
will be able to resume also in a very short
time, There has been no extraordinary
demand on any of the other banks for
funds to-day.
Indianapolis, Aug. 10.— The conference
between the directors of the First Nation
al bank and the English-Depau syndicate
ended between 2 and 3 o'clock this after
noon. At 2:50 the doors of the bank were
opened, and W. H. English appeared, in
viting the depositors to corae in and get
their money. The crowd outside
rushed in, but were checked by the police,
and ladies were given the preference!
The bank continued open for an hour or
more after the closing hour, and all the
checks presented were promptly paid; bnt
few of the larger depositors drew their
money. It is understood that a reorgani
zation of the bank, with double its former
capital, has beer, fully agreed upon, and
will be perfected as speedily as possible,
with Mr. English as president. The other
banks were fully prepared, but no runs
were perceptible. The Indiana Banking
company has not resumed.
Sioux City, Aug. 10.— The creditors of
Cottrell Bros., agricultural implements,
have not yet effected a settlement. It is
believed the liabilities of the firm will
reach about $100,000 with assets of about
$140,000. The firm has offered fifty cen' a
on a dollar. A general meeting of cred
itors is called to meet here the 14th inst.
A Profitable Silver Mine.
[Special Teleeram to the Globe.
Eau Claibe, Wis., Aug. 10.— officers
and proprietors of the Big Heart silver
mine, located fire miles west from here,
held a meeting this week, and made ar
rangements to prosecute the work more
vigorously, and to accomplish this will in
crease the machinery and add to the work
ing force. The assay of the last ore
taken out yields well, and the projectors,
who include some of the prominent busi
ness men of the place ' have undoubtedly
made an investment that will ultimately
result profitably.
Won't Compromise .
Tbot, N. V., Aug. 10.— The bondholders
of the Round Lake Camp Meeting assooia
tion refused the offer of the trustees of the
association to adjust the financial difficul
ties by allowing the bondholders twenty
five cents on the dollar and a certain num
ber of lots in the Round Lake grounds.
