We regret to state that during the past
week Messrs. Moore, McCsusland L Co.,
have been obliged to suspend. Their liabil-
tiles are some s23 1000; and their assets about
80, 500 and their mill which cost about ~
much as they owe. but which will not prob
ably bring more than half of it. We are
very sorry that this firm has been obliged to
suspend, tor they are likely young men, who
fought well for their country, and who we're
doing a good deal for the business of the
place. Messrs. Perry, Moore and Wing had
a mortgage on the building which was given
on the lth day of December but was not re.
corded till recently. 1t is the opinion of
most of the creditors that this mortgage will
not hold in bankruptcy. If the mortgages
would consent to give up this mortgage .
compromise could be made with the creditors
at 80 per cent. At meeting held Tuesday
morning committee consisting of J. Gay,N.
o. Mitchell and 4. Robinson was appointed
to see if the mortgages would cancel their
mortgage, and if not to commence suit in
bankruptcy. Up to this time no compromise
has been made with the m0rtgagees.-Gardi-
