resident Of New York, said at the time
Of the suspension Of the firm Jay Cooke 6
Co. were indebted to Jay Cooke, McCul-
loch & Go. The latter firm held no col.
lateral TO secure this Indebtedness. Jay
Cooke s. Co. were solvent on Sep.
tember 18th, and insolvent on Sep.
tember 18Th, caused by their inability
to raise funds to meet the demands made
upon them. The chief cause was the ad.
vances made to the Northern Pacific rail.
road. All these advances were made by
the advice Of Jay Cooke. The witness
frequently objected to this class Of invest.
ment. No proposition was ever made by
the firm TO exchange Northern Pacific
railroad bonds for real estate. The Phil.
adelphia house was largely Indebted to
the New York house. The witness also
demonstrated against this. The examina.
ton will be resumed on Friday.
