A morning journal speaks of Mobile
correspondent of leading banking house
OF this city drawing prime steriiEg bills as
having proved a defaulter to the extent Of
100000. The facts which lead to such ex.
aggerated statements have been known tor
nearly two weeks. and are as follows: The
firms of Halsey & Co. of New Orleans,
Goldthwaite & Co., OF Mobile, and Halsey
4 Goldthwaite, of Galveston. dissolved CO.
partnership, W. +. Halsey alone being au.
thorized to sign in liquidation. These firms
represented the house of Brown Brothers
4 Co. in the cotton markets OF the south.
The trouble which caused the dissolution
was that sterling against cotton whicA hat
been shipped to Liverpool had been pur.
chased, and when the sale of the cotton
failed and reclamation made, it proved tha:
the maker Of the bills was not Responsible
and that GOldthwaite was jointly interested
in the speculation. Goldthwaiie is rela.
tive of members Of the firm of Brown.
Brothers & Co., and his fall is more painful

they may lose, which can no; be more than
$l00,000.
