has been selling a good many freightears on time, and, being unable to realize on them, went to the wall. When the news reached St. Louis it created great consternation among the brokers, as all the parties interested were heavily concerned in a number of big local enterprises. The Madison Car Works were controlled by what is known as the "Granite" Mountain people, who were also behind the Merchants' bridge, the Security building and a number of mining enterprises. Six months ago it bonded itself for $500,000. This was used to pay off the outstanding indebtedness and to enlarge the plant, and is known to have left the company with plenty of working capital. The works were running at full capacity, turning out between forty and fifty cars a day. Major Rainwater, one of the leading members of the company, says that it was embarrassed by paper they had indorsed and which was not paid at maturity. This paper has been received by the company in the settlement of accounts, etc. Major Rain water had no idea how much of this paper is in existence. The concern is one of the largest of the kind in the United States. It was the intention of the capitalists who operated the plant to make the town of Madison another such a place as Pullman, and the project was meeting with much success. PITTSBURG, July 1.-The Speat White Sand Company has assigned. Liabilities $60,000, assets $200,000. The stringency in the money market and the complete shut-down of the glass factories are the cause of the failure. SALIDA, Colo., July 1.-The Chaffee County Bank made an assignment this morning. Its liabilities are. between $80.000 and $90,000, while its assets are not yet known. Slow collections are given as the cause of the failure. A run was started on the First National Bank, which closed at 11:30 until Monday. The directors say the depositors will be paid in full. WEBB CITY, Mo., July 1.-The Exchange Bank of this city assigned to-day. The deposits amount to about $60,000. The liabilities are not yet known. The stringency of the money market and the withdrawal of deposits are assigned as the cause of failure. OURAY, Colo., July - The First National Bank closed this morning, owing to the want of currency. The assets are $110.000, and the liabilities $42,000. The bank will probably resume in a few days. A run was inaugurated on Thatcher Brothers' Merchants' and Miners' Bank, but it was only a slight flurry.

NO SPECIAL LEGISLATIVE SESSION. Gov. Walte Says the Only Thing It Could Do It Could Have Done Before. DENVER. July 1.-The rise in the price of silver to-day had the effect to restore confldence to some extent. though the mines will probably not resume work. The most important question is the matter of convening the Legislature. "I shall not call an extra session of the Legislature. at least, not until I see things differently from what I do now." said Governor Waite to a large delegation of representative business men. headed by M. J. McNamara. from the foremost business houses of the city. who waited on him. He had been looking up the "Stay" law. and had discovered that the Supreme Court of the United States had decided such a law to be unconstitutional. as no law can be passed inpairing or interferinc with existing contracts. He said: 'There will be no use in calling a session of the present Legislature. as the only thing that it could do in the present situation would be to repeal the Attachmentlaw. The Assembly had A chance to repeal it last winter. and refused to do it." Notwithstanding the wild utterances of a few. the people of Colorado, as a whole. do not. nor does any considerable portion of them. purpose to take steps which look either toward repudiating or toward the impairment of any obligation entered into. The provisions of the notes and deeds of trust cannot in any respect be affected by any law which may be hereafter passed. Even as regards the manner of foreclosure. banks in mining towns will all suffer tem porarily. and some may have to go out of business entirely. To-day the Chaffee County Bank at Salida assigned to S. J. Foster. Liabilities, $85,000; deposits. $73,000; assets unknown. A run started on the First National Bank here. and at noon the doors were closed after Director Hollenbach had assured the depositors that currency would be on hand on Monday to meet all obligations. The First National Bank at Ouray was compelled to close to-day for a similar cause. President L. L. Bailey of the well-known firm of Gelder. Bailey & Co. of Denver. has gone there with currency to meet all obligations, and that bank will open on Monday. Last year the agricultural products of Colorado amounted to $50,000,000, the manufacturers did n business of $45,000,000. and the mining output was $20,000,000. When it is considered that Colorado gold camps are booming. the outlook is not bad. The serious feature is the sudden throwing out of employment of thousands of wage earners and the curtailment of all lines of trade.
