and others to the amount OF $5ooOo The most
absurd stories circulated relative TO the amounts
owed by the missing firm, and the number Of firms whom
1t had yictmized.
From whatcan be learned, 10 appears that the firm
commenced business something over three years ago,
and its Recommendations and connections were good
and it seemed to have plenty Of capital at command 1t
soon obtained commanding position in the mer-
camille world, and its paper passed as first
class. So late as January last it ranked
at tho mercantile agencies Several weeks ago
the firm commenced buying largely on time. and it Is
said their purchases reached In the neighbOrhood of
100000 This tobacco bought from varirus firms In
Louisville Cincinnati New -Oreans Richmond, and this
city, and 1t Is now charged that 30 soon as the firm
obtained possession Of this tobacco twas sold for cash.
