New Yohk, Mnreh 8. The announce
ment on tho Stock Exchange of the sue-
leuslon of the firm of Hunter, Clark &
Jacobs wns somewhat of a surprise, as it
was not known to be Involved In any
perattons on the wrong side. As the se
quel provos the firm was Involved by Mr.
Inrk, our of lt members, who slguud the
rm s name to a number of fifteen day
rlvlleges in sugnr nt 81, pocketing the
proceeds of his sale of privileges nnd then,
when the market jumped up on hltn, dis
appearing, leaving the Arm, which knew
untiling of his operations, to redem their
paper.
After pnying out some fSO.OOO tho firm
made nn assignment, not knowing how
many privileges were outstanding. Had
Clark's little speculation been success
ful his operations would not have come
to light, but with a 12 per cont. rise In
ugar there was nothing for him hut to
confess or run away, and he chose tho lat
ter alternative. Nothing is known of his
whereabouts, nnd as the firm at present
refuses to make any statement regarding
Its affairs Its liabilities cannot be ascer
tained. Thnt this should have been the
ouly casualty of the great sugar squeeze
is a matter of congratulation to thostreet,
but Inasmuch ns It ha developed a new

FRAUDULENT BARGAIN dALES.
fchnraat ConrncUd by Dlnhoneit Dealers
In Hoodwink the People.
In recent years tho advertisements of I
bankrupt" nnd "foreclosure" Mica ha-ve
become quita common. Tho penchant
among cortnin classes of people for
taking advnntage of the necefslties of
their fellow men to obtain somotliing
for less than its real value is util
ized by the promoters of these Bcliomcs
to dispose of second class goods nt first
class prices. Some of theso sharks havo
nn admirable system to bettor enablo
them to delude nml hoodwink the pub
lic. Instead of, as was formerly the cus
tom, dropping down Into a town, rent
ing a room and at once advertising their
great "bnukrupt" sale, thoy pursue a
different msthod. A stool pigeon Is sent
ahead, who rants a room in a city or town
centrally located and puts in a stock of
merchandise. Ho nnnounoes by hand
bills widely distributed and through the
columns of tho local papers that, like the
country journalist, he has "como to
stay." A week elapses, and another in
dividual, representing himself as tho
ngont of jobbers, putB in his appearance
with a chattel mortgage on the stock,
which he proceeds to foreclose.
The first man, quite creitfnllen evi
dently, gets himself interviewed by the
newspaper reporter, nnd, after a recitol
of his woes and misfortunes and a disser
tation on tho excellence and good quali
ties of the tnerchandiso which 1ms boon
wrested from him by tho iron hand of
the remorsoleis mortgagee, hies himself
to some other town to repeat tho opera
tion. The conspirntor who is left in
chnrgo, with n display of enterprise wor
thy of a better cause, iloeds tho sur
rounding country ond neighboring towns
with lurid posters announcing a "mort
gagee's sale," with some account of the
wonderful sacrifices to be made in order
to realize the mortgngo indebtedness at
the earliest practical moment, nnd cun
ningly worded "locals," reciting the
same story, find their way into the col
umns of the local pnpers.
This is tho bargain seeker s opportunity,
and tho way tho "penny wise and pound
foolish" population of town and country
respond to the advertisement and load
themselves down with shoddy goods, an
tiquated clothing or worthless jowelry is
caution. Persons who have been in
debt to their home merchant since the
mind of man runneth not back to the
contrary bring their ready cash and
plank it down to the mountebank in re
turn for his doubtful wares. A few
weeks' use fills the bosoms of the bargain
seekers with vain regret as thoy contem
plate the condition of their much vaunt
ed bargains.
These specious "sales seldom deceive
tho sensible man or woman. A mo
ment's consideration should convince
atiy ono that if the merchandise offered
was as represented, standard goods, be
fore the local merchants and dealerB
would allow them to bo disposed of in
competition with their goods thoy would
buy tho entire stock and take it out of
tho market. The "agent, if the mort
gage was bona fide, would bo glad to did
poso of the entire stock in this manner
in order to save time and expense. But
such is not tho case. This class of goods
ia manufactured expressly for those ir
responsible concerns and is nevor found
on the counters of reputable dealers.
The gudgeons who bite at tho bait get
hooked. Trade with established i mer
chants ia the only safe rule,
Serves Them Rleht.
A house owner needs a lightning rod.
Instead of oalling on a permanently lo
cated dealer in lightning rods and em
ploying him to do tho work, ho entors into
a contract with the first shark that comes
along and signs an agreement, which
eventually turns up as a note in tho
hands of an "innocent" party and mulcts
him to the tune of several hundred dol
lars, and the popular verdict is, "Served
him right."
A predilection for strangers and the
mania for buying goods in other than the
regular channels of trade seem to be pe
culiar to a certain class of mercenary
people of the community. They doubt
the honesty and good intentions of their
homo artisan or merchant, whom they
havo known for years, and refuse to be
lieve his assurances of fuir treatment,
but turn a willing ear to the first smooth
tougued swindler that comes along. This
trait of human character is well known
to tho smooth worker, aud the amounts
realized each year through tho gullibility
of their victims is greater than is general
ly known.
The farm implement and musical in
strument agtmt comes from no man
knows whither, makes a sale at a low
price and levants. In a few days a man
with a chattel mortgage on the snmo
article arrives and wrests it from the
buyer, and he has no recourso unless he
can nnd tho agent. A dealer in this
man's own locality stood ready and anx
ious to sell lilm the same goods at a fair
price, but he preferred patronizing a
stranger with the vain hope of getting
something for nothing. Ho got duped,
and his happiness is not increased when
his neighbors declare that it "served
him right."
Farming communities are now being
visited by agents for grocery concerns
and shoddy dry goods houses located in
one of the large cities. The bargains
they offer have the effect of gathering in
scores of victims. In one locality visit
ed, sugar by the barrel was offered at ft
pric lower than it could be obtained
from the refinery. There was, however,
a condition to the salo that tho bnyer
was ulso to buy a certain amount of
spices and fancy groceries in order to
make a bill large enough to justify the
house iu making a shipment.
The goods cane C. O. D., and much to
the di6gust of the consignee everything
but the sugar waa utteily unfit for use.
Let these bargain seeiu rs tnko tho
hard cash which they al...tys seem to
have ready and waiting lor the slinrk
and go to your home merchant and plank
it down, aud you will find that, taking
Into consideration the quality ot tho
merchandise, be sells much cheaper than
the traveling vender.
