HEAVY FAILURES. Big Bucket Shop in Chicago Closes -Several Banks Suspend. CHICAGO, March 28.-The firm of Malcolm & Waterbury, which did an extensive bucket-shop business in Illinois, Missouri, Nebraska and Iowa, made an assignment Wednesday to George Wiley, a board of trade man. The crash came suddenly at the noon hour in the head office of the concern, room 52, 121 La Salle street, which was in charge of T. B. Waterbury. It was an unpleasant surprise to the patrons and creditors, the liabilities, it is understood, being $80,000, and the assets nothing. The house was heavily on the bear side of the market, and the recent rise in wheat and pork proved too much for the firm. The assignment was immediately followed by the closing of the twentyseven branch offices, which were connected by a system of leased wires with the Chicago office. In Illinois, outside of Chicago, the firm did business at Sterling. Dixon, Clinton, Odell, Pontiac, Lexington, Lincoln, Atianta; in Iowa at Davenport, Newton, Colfax, Des Moines, Stuart, Atlantic, Walnut, Cedar Rapids, Tama, Marshalltown, Nevada, Boone, Jefferson, Carroll and Logan; in Nebraska at Omaha and Lincoln and in Missouri at St. Louis. O. F. Maleolm, the other member of the firm, was in charge of the Omaha office. DES MOINES, Ia., March 28.-Over $50,000 of good Iowa money was lost in the failure of the Malcolm & Waterbury bucket shop in Chicago Wednesday. Because of the failure, which was said to be caused by the advance in pork and stock, local offices in many of the towns along the lines of the Rock Island and Northwestern roads failed. CINCINNATI, March 28.-The Commercial bank, located at 132 Main street. assigned at 3:45 o'clock Wednesday afternoon to W. H. Campbell, its cashier. The decision to go out of business was reached but half an hour before the assignment was made. The bank was compelled to make good $50,000 worth of bad paper on Tuesday. When the bank sent its paper to the clearing house Wednesday afternoon the directors of the association on motion of Cashier Guthrie, of the National Lafayette bank, suspended payment on the paper and ordered an investigation of the bank's condition. This move proved fatal and precipitated the erash, which had been impending for some time past. The directors of the bank were hastily called together and the attorneys for the concern were ordered to draw up the deed of assignment, which was filed a few minutes later. President Foote says that the bank will be able to pay dollar for dollar. The bank is the oldest in the city and was organized in 1851. The bank has a paid-up capital stock of $328,000 and a surplus of $40,000. Its average deposits were $400,000. The Commercial bank was at one time the main bank for the steamboats and the Pendletons and Thomas Sherlock were heavily interested. The opinion on Third street is that the crash came about through a long series of bad management. The bank has been rediscounting its own paper for two weeks past, showing conclusively that it was bound to go up. CLARENCE, Mo., March 28.-The Clarence bank made an assignment Tuesday night for the benefit of its creditors, and its affairs are now in charge of W. D. Crow as trustee. The bank at one time was a very prosperous institution, but of late years it has been careless in loaning its money, and also allowed many of its customers to largely overdraw their accounts. The bank is a private one, owned by C. Hunold. For the past two years it has been the county depository, and has about $20,000 of Shelby county money. This money, however, is well secured and the county will lose nothing. It is thought the bank will be able to pay out dollar for dollar. OMAHA, Neb., March 28.-The state bank of Stanton has gone into voluntary liquidation and its affairs are in the hands of State Bank Examiner Cline. The liabilities are $9,400; capital, $52,000; cash on hand, $1,245. The bank's affairs are in a fair condition
