CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

market, the demand being moderate, and quotations
steady.

been about £295,000, and the exports £179,500.

There was a meeting yesterday of the creditors of
Mr. John Henry Krabbe, who suspended payment
in consequence of his connection with the firm of
Messrs. Janvrin, Grassie, and De Lisle. A state-
ment of the affairs was presented by the accoun-
tants, Messrs. Quilter, Ball, Jay, and Co., from
which it appeared that the liabilities of the London
house amounted to £4,504, and the assets to £1,644.
The liabilities of the corresponding house of Per-
nambuco, trading under the names of Krabbe,
Thom, and Co., were stated to be £18,966, and the

Bahia, carrying on business under the name of John
H. Krabbe and Co., were represented to be £38,465,

outwards, as also in the coasting trade for same
period.
