NEW YORK, June 1B.-The Post an
nounHes the suspension of Turner & Bros,
and r. ". Berry, Wall Street brokers.
They say they suspended owing to advances
on Western Railroad bonds on which they
cannot realize, chiefly Indianapolis, Bloom
ington and Weston. The amount OF adj
vances are not over one and half million.
The suspension created surprise, as the
firm has been in business since 1874. 1t
has had the reputation of being, not only
strong, but very conservative. The members
Of the firm have been large holders OF real
estate in nBroOklyn; they We're not connected
with the current stock operations, and their
suspension has not affected business in the
street. The following is their letter adj
addressed TO the Stock Exchange:
Ne,e York, June 16.-To the President
of the New York EXchange-Sir: We
regret that We are compelled, in justice to
our creditors, to announce the suspension
of our house. We hope to resume pay
ment in a short time, and In the meantime
beg indulgence of our creditors until a
complete examination of our affairs can
be made. Turner Bros.
