Street is A. W. Dimock. Under some circumstances his failure would not have | excited any surprise. He has failed before | on more than one occasion. Bright, shrewd, and possessing large ideas, he has made snd lost three or four fortunes already. The suspension of his house to- day was, however, a surprise to every one. Since the day President Gartield was shot, Mr. Dimock has been a vigerous consistent bear, and, in consequence, both be and his customers made immense amounts of money. It appears, however, that as far as Mr. Dimock is concerned, his profits have been absorbed to a large extent in the Sanker’s and Merchant's Telegraph com- pany. Mr. Dimock said this evening that his liabilities were in the neighborhood of $3,000,000 and that his assets were between $5,000,000 and $6,000,000 when, on Wed- nesday night, he decided to suspend. The assets consisted of United States govern. ment bonds, rvoilroad securities, and bonds and stock of the Bankers’ and Merchants’. The fall of price in the latter stock lessened the value of the assets somewhat. Dimock, who is a native of Nova Scotia, came into Wall street as a clerk, and his first partner- ship was with H. G. Marquand, former president of the Iron Mountain railroad company, under the title of Marquand & Dimock. The junior partner accumulated money rapidly, but his tremendous ven- tures were disapproved by his associates. On ene occasion the old gentleman said to him that he didn’t like the magnitude of the operations Dimock was condneting. ‘I want you to understand,’ replied Mr. Dim- ock, ‘that I’ve got more money in the concern than you have.’ In conseqence of this difference of opinion the firm dissolv-
