Ir'rom ttie New Turk Times. Houston, Flblo & Co,, rtock brok ers of Krtnsna City, failed yesterday for iin amount estimated from $6,000,000 to (15,000,000. The sus pension of the firm for failure to meet Its obligations was announcod from the rostrum of tho Now York Rtock exchange shortly before noon yesterday. The firm, which carried tho ac count? of eoine of tho wealthiest oil tiiicrututn in tint Mld-Contlnent field, was tho largest stock broker age organization in tho m'-ddto west, and the falluru waa a oomploto sur prise. It Is balleved to bo I ho larg irnt which has come to Wall street's attention In soveral years, Tho nearest approach from tho point of liabilities was that of B. V. Wagner & Co., at tho close of last year. W. R, Houston, senior member of the firm and floor member on tho Now York Stock exchange, waa In tho city over the weok-ond, but left yesterday on an ejirly train for Kan sou City. In tho absence of any of ficial Information concerning the cause of tlin failure many rumors were afloat lu the financial district One report had It that Mr. Jloueton came to New York to endeavor to vtralghtcn out his firm's affairs, It having recently received a "iiues- tlonnairo" from tlta New York stock exchange. It wnw Ha Id that, being , unablti to meet Its requirements, or makn nn acceptable showing of cap ital employed In proportion to the amount o( nusiueen transacted, ne sought tho neceMary funds here to tide the firm over. Another report had It that the firm was heavily ovaroxtended In certain oil etccks traded in on the stock exchange, which were bought at the peak prices In late Heptember Oil Stuck fiix-culiilloii, It hn bocn known for nomo llim' in Wall Atnrt that prominent Mid Continent oil prnducern nnd operat ors have been playing an Important part In the recent speculation In oil stocks, WlrcM from western firms to their New York correspondents were hot for days at n tlmo giving orders to buy and sell the ntockn of many of tho prominent dorncstlo producing companion. good part of these operation aru believed to have bewti for pool nccoiinu and In the turimill of tho reaction which followed In tho latter part of October and the greater part of November, It is be llovod that the firm becamo over oxtonded, this lending to the crash wnioh was announced yefllerdsy, Tho main office of tho firm Is In Kantian city, but It h brunch of flees lu Tulsa and Oklahoma City, Okla. Most of the firm's business on Die New 1 ork Xlork exchange uu handled through local roiTesiioiiil nnls, reported lo number five. That Iin business wsn of large volume nnd hroJd scono was demonstrated by the munner In which stuukn w thrown nn tho stock exchange tn be sold "under tho rule" shortly after the suspension was announced. Tho Htock market as a wholo was heavy elerilay, but It is generally believed that the weukupss in the oil iiloclcs was due directly tn the liquidation of storks for th ncotin' of this firm, 11 procedure always witnessed after 11 bad failure. Most of tho selling was confined to stocks of companies which aro Inteiested heavily la the Mld-Contincnt nil fields, although tho artlvitlt t nomo of them extend to other sec tions of tho country. Ono largo stock exchange firm, oredlted with being tho local correspondent of the western firm, is understood to have sold 40,000 shares of slocks In vurl- ous companies, which, with tho sell ing handled by other local corro spondentx, brought tho total amount of stock llriuMated within one hour Up to approximately 75,000 shares. JhTlIno 111 OH Shares. Tho stocks which woro most nc- tlvo lu connection with the llnulda-' ion inciuucu Hinciair conso dated Oil corporation, Mnrland Oil, Phil lips Polroloum, Gulf OH, Texas com pany. Invincible. Oil. Hkellv OH. Cos. den & Co., anV sovernl others which havo been prominent In tho speed Istivn markets of tho last fsw months. All tho stocks mentioned ended tha day with not declines but tho losses woro not soverc except In ono or two Issues. It waa the gen oral opinion among stock exchange members that tho selling was well absorbed and that tho decline in the various slocks was insignificant in view of tho size of tho failure. In addition to tho roporta con cerning tho firm's Interest lu the stock market. It waa said that over- oxiended speculation In the grain markf-ts had a shutu in causing the failure. If such was the case, tho grain markets, both locally nnd In tho west, wore virtually unaffected by the news. Advicea from Chicago state than the announcement of tha failuro of tho Kansas City organiza tion had no effect on tho grain mar kets, (iij tliolr open commitments in that city won of small proportions, Tho firm also transacted business In cotton futures. Besides holding membership in tho Now York stork exchange, it was aseoclated with tho New York cotton exchange, tho Chi cago stock exchange and the New York curb market. Its membership on the New York stock exchange dates back to April 19, 1000. Tho only known partner of tha firm, in addition to Mr, Houston, is W. M. Flble. Tho firm was established in 18S7. At tho New York stock exchange no information could be obtained as to the reasons for the failuro or tho extent of tha liabilities. From the west information was received that ' the firm's assets amount to $6,0uu,- I 000. but no mention Is made of tho "iiinc Hem to I Ul so Money, The dispatches from tho west also state ibnl Mr. Houston ramo to New Vuik last Friday to raise $800,000 nerdr-d 10 llde the organization over Its difficulties. Mr. Houston, accord, lug to the information, lundo a last effort early yesterday to obtain tho necessary loan, but following tho failure of this attempt, ho Is under sioipil to bitva sent n special wire to his partner lu Kansas City Inform ing him of the situation nnd sug gesting that the firm liquidate vol untary upon consent or us cus tomers. Upon tocelpt of the mes sage, Mr. I'll ile consulted tho firm's attornsys. After a brief conference the following notice wbm posted on the main nnd branch unices of the organization: "Tho buslnoM of Houston, I'llile &, Co. Is In my hands ns assignee for tho benefit of creditors, "THOMAS H. UUYNOIiOH." A second message was sent to Kansas City by Mr. Houston shortly before his departuro from this city for tho west. This tuiggosted that if the firm's customers would consent to a voluntary liquidation, tho firm would be able to pay 80 per cent, of Its liabilities In K. days, 10 per cent In 60 days and B per oont lalel .

"it looka llko tho business was too heavy for tho capital." He added that ho was not suffici ently familiar with tho business to commont on tho failuro.
