Fusion will be the chief topic of discussion. Several plans will be presented and a conference committee appointed to meet the Democratic state central committee, which is to convene in this city on Saturday.

Just what form of proposition these representatives of the Populists will I present is unknown at this time, although from statements made by Chat: man Wardell it is believed that the plan Willi be similar to that suggested by Franklin K. Dane in a communication addressed to both committees several days ago, Dane suggested that each party should have a representation on the electoral ticket proportionate to its vote in the last state election, and that the vote of all the electors should be cast for Bryan and Sewall if Democrats cast tbe larger vote for lieutenantgovernor, and for Bryan and Watson if the Populists cast the heavier vote. Chairman Wardell is not satisfied with the representation of three, estimated on this basis. says his party is justly entitled, upon the basis of Its vote last year, to an equal representation.

XC Barnes, i a TUESDAY MOBNTNGr, AUGUST 4i 1899, MATCH AND CRACKER DEAL Breaks the Brokers Who Engineer It THE TREMENDOUS FAILURE Indefinitely Shuts Up the Chicago Stock Exchange Some of the Richest and Shrewdest of Chicago's Speculators Were Badly Caught In tbe Pinch Associated Press Special Wire.

NEW YORK, Aug. speculative deal in Diamond Match and New York Biscuit stock has come to an end. The Moore Brothers have failed. The greatest speculation ever known In Chicago has culminated In the failure of the people who are behind the deal. The Chicago stock exchange will adjourn at 1" oclock tomorrow morning for an indefinite period.

This action was decided upon at a meeting held this evening, at which were present the members of the stock exchange governing committee and a number of prominent capitalists. This meeting was assembled Informally after the announcement, which was made late in the afternoon by James H. Moore, that margin ails no longer could be met. The announcement was made to a few of the men most heavily Interested. Those who assembled discussed the best means of resnring confidence ofter the check which would be given to speculative clr- cles by the announcement of the failure.

It was the opinion that it would be the wisest possible move to close the stock exchange for a period. The points were made thai nearly the entire business at the stock exchange for number of weeks has been in Diamond Match and Xew York Biscuit stock, and that the losing of the exchange would interfere only in a slight degree with the general financial affairs. it is thought theadjournmentwilllast but a few days, and that matters can within that time be straightened out. So far as the bavtkl are concerned they are indifferent as to whether the exchange should be closed or not. The stocks held by them are margined to a point which leaves them secure in any vent.

The speculative deal of which the failure Is the culmination is by all odds the most important in the history of the Chicago stock exchange. It began early this year. The stock of the Diamond Hatch company had been selling along at 130 for quite a time. Just prior to the Venezuela incident the tip had got out in inside circles that there were to be some Important European developments in conection with Diamond Match affairs, and the buying of the stock commenced by strong people. The Venezuelan panic interfered with the speculation and the stock dropped during the general decline at that time to From there the rise started which is the most remarkable in the history of the exchange.

A strong group of speculators, headed by James H. Moore and William H. Moore, began buying the stock. It moved up with Scarcely a halt. The rise went on for a considerable time before the general public had any intimation of what was really behind the advance.

In the meantime the announcement that the Diamond Match company had closed a contract with the French government, under which the patents and the machinery controlled by the match company were to be sold to the French government lor a royalty of a year was made. Following the announcement of the losing of the French contract, the stock advanced with great rapidity. Negotiations were opem for the formation of a new company in England which would unite with Bryant May. the largest match producers in Groat Britain, and would give to the English field the advantage of the labor-saving American machinery. A factory was equipped at Liverpool which was owned by the Diamond Match company and which served as an object lesson to European manufacturers.

Negotiation! were also opened In Austria for the formation of a company which should combine all tho manufacturing interests there. Other companies were to be organized in Belgium and italy. The shrewdest men In Chicago believed in the property. Some of the richest of Chicago's speculators operatedfn the market heavily, but the head and front of the speculative movement was the Moore The stock sold up as high as 248, When the decline in stock markets generally came, following the Demncratis convention, the stock was selling at about 221, and was held steadily without SO much aa a fractional decline. The Moores bought the stock with confidence that inspired confidence In others.

The people who had been the best informed about the company's prospects seemed to feel absolutely certain of the value of the security, and prices were heitl through all the sharp fluctuations In other stocks. It was believed that a heavy short interest had been created by bears who did not think quotations could be held in the face of the decline ln the general ma tkct. Apparently the hopes of the bulls rested on the size of the short interest. When the July account cameto be closed the charges for turning slocks into the August account were very large, so much SO that faith was shaken in the extensive short Interest. The great part of the capital with which the deal had been carried on had resulted ln New fork and New England.

The local banking institutions are only moderately interested in the affair, Difficulty was experienced owing to the general loss of confidence in renewing some of these eastern loans. Bettlemenl day was successfully passed, however, and every one believed that in spite of the heavy carrying Charges, the bulls were still in control of the situation. The stock came out, however, in enormous quantities, The Moores were almost alone In supporting the market, but they stood under it with remarkable courage. Today the stock was held with barely a waver, at but there was an outpouring of long stock which led the keen observers of the market to fear that the load might become too heavy and the events later in the afternoon proved that those fears were corect. The deal In Diamond Match was only part of this great speculative operation.

The Moore Brothers had organised the York Biscuit company several years ago, after the first great success of the Diamond Match company. The panic of 1893 had hit the biscuit company severely, as It did all the other industries, and the stock was far below par. The success which was met with in speculative manipulation of Diamond Match, led to a desire to see what would be done with New York Biscuit, and that stock was taken several months ago and advanc ed from 70 to 108. From that it dropped back to 92, and for weeks was held close about that figure. Enormous quantities of this stock were also poured upon the market, but they were taken With the same steadiness which marked the ac tion of Diamond Match.

The accumulations, however, represented a great sum In time, and the operations in the block will add largely to the amount involved. It is not at the present time possible to make any estimate of what the figure is. The Moores have unques, tlonably purchased an enormous line of New York Biscuit and Dlamon Match. The capital stock of the Diamond Match company Is still $11,000,000. It is said that the -Moores have purchased half the capital of the Diamond Match company and their purchases of New York Biscuit stock perhaps bears as large a proportion to the total.

John S. Johnson, who arrived on the steamer Paris Saturday, docs not believe the crack foreign riders as dangerous as they have been painted. He admits that they are a long ways from the novice stage, but he predicts that if the pick of the French and Kngllsh riders should come over and meet our stars they would have the utmost respect for the Americans. "These men are fast riders," Johnson said last night, "but they are not speedy enough to beat our best men in contests on this side of the water. They are up to all the tricks of the trade and can make it very uncomfortable for a stranger If they try, and they generally try.

1 hope some of them will over this season, but I doubt if arrangements could be made io get them here, for there is plenty of money In racing where they are." A BICYCLE BURST, BUFFALO, N.
