fties $s,75O ,00O-Thc Reduction OF the
Tariff tho Reported Cause OF the
Fina aoial Disaster.
WASHINGTON. Sept H. 1879.
The result OF the reductions In the tarlG WAS
realized to-day in Baltimore by the failure OF a
number OF large importers. Lazear Brother. a
hrm engaged in the grocery business, failed
for large amount; Kirkland, Chase & Co.,
the leading importing and shipping house
IN The West India and Brazil trade were SO involved
by the above failures that they were compelled TO
suspend payment. This carried with Il the houses
OH. o. Bridges Co., william Bayne Co., whole
sale grocers, and A. A. Perry h Co., dealers in
lumber and cOOperage stock Their liabilities are
estimated ut ABOUT two millions seven hundred and
hty thousand dollars These are five OF the largest
mercantile houses in the CITY, and have enjoyed the
fullest confidence. Kirkland. Chase & Co., by far
the largest house, failed In 1860 compromised for
seventy-fve cents in the dollar, and subsequently
paid every cent OF their liabilities. On Change to-day
and In business circles generally the utmost excite
mcht prevailed and business was very materially
obstructed The failures are generally attributed
70 legitimate losses in the grocer's trade, and
principally to coffee and to the intimate
business relations of the parties. Some constcrna
lecture how the other business interests OF the city
VIII be Affected IL Is believed however, that the
suspension IS merely temporary, and that the
majority, II not all, Of these houses will speedily
resume business. Lazear Brothers have lost
heavily on the out OF town trade, and for
some days have been unable to meet
their ENGAGEMENTS. Their Indebtedness to Kirk
land, Chase Co., 100000 was the immediate
cause OF ailure. General Jesse LaZear, the father
OF the members of the firm, is quite wealthy man,
residing in baltimore county, but not member OF
the hrm. For some days past Kirkland, Chase y
Co., having been carrying the paper of the above
house and other engagements maturing, were
pressed SO closely as to be unable to pay their
liabilities Daniel Chase, the senior member OF the
firm, died few weeks ago. John c.. Bridges.
Lazarus Zacharias and Jacob Waidner constitute
the firm OF Bridges co. J; B. and William L.

Kirkland, A. A. Chapman and r. II. Kirkland,
Kirkland, Chase & Co. Bridges Co. endorsed for
Kirkland, Chase Co., and hence their failure.
Bayne Co. had sold cargo of
coffee to Bridges 4 Co., the notes for which
will not mature for thirty forty days; but feeling
sure they could not meet them they suspended
and Kirkland, Chase Co. owed A. A. Perry Il
Co. heavily for shocks and heads used In their for
eign sugar trade, and not being able to meet their
Indebtedness, caused the latter firm to suspend. 1t
Is rumOred that John s. Hopkins and Alexander
Brown h Sons offered to take up all the paper OF
Kirkland Chase Co., provided they were assured
the house could ultimately meet Its liabilities,
This has been denied.
