The lifanclieder Examiner of to-day contains the
following with reference to a large failure in the
Liverpool cotton trade :
The Liverpool cotton market yesterday was almost in
a state of panic, owing to a rumour, which afterwards
proved to be correct, that one of the first German houses
in the cotton trade had been compelled to stop payment.
The reasons, so far as can at present be aicertained,
which caused the suspension of the firm, are the holding
of a large quantity of Egyptian, and the purchave of
several thousand bales of Surat cotton at a high rate, to
arrive. Some of the Surate have reached the Mersey,
and the firm, being unable to take the cotton up, were
compelled to step payment. The liabilities of the firm are
estimated at from 160,0001. to 180,0001. As no (Alicia'
announcement of the stoppage was made yesterday, we
refrain from publishing the name of the firm.
