THE MOROCCO TRADE TROUBLES.

THE MOROCCO TRADE TROUBLES.
Philadelphia, Jan. 22.-Third street is
agitated over troubles affecting houses in the
morocco trade. The principal. house in
trouble is f. & C. Stokes, importers Of hides
and skins. Mr.. Stokes says the firm will
decide to-day what course they will take.
The firm attribute their embarrassment to
the fall of Geo. w. Hunncl & Co., who were
unable to meet their obligations, and who
relied on Il. & G. Stokes to meet them for
them. This firm is indebted to f. & C.
Stokes oyer 100000. The following houses
are also reported insolvent: John Deemer
Sons, $9O,000 VIM. r. Stewart & Co., $780,
600; Hammond & Dwicer, $4,000; Sarvey,
Lynch & Co., $4,000; Stewart Allen, $l2,-
900; Edward Evans & Co., $4,000; c. P.
Kins, $4,000; l. G. Baker manufacturing
company, Of Wilmington, $4,000. E. &
G. Stokes are creditors for about three-quar-
ters of all the liabilities of the above named
firms. They decline to state the amount Of
their own liabilities, but claim to hold the
paper of other morocco firms to the amount
of from 100000 to Ss00,000.
Ellis Stokes states that his firm has been
keeping other firms going for years, and
we're crippling themselves trying to accom-
modate them. We had, lie said, to push
them at last, and the result is that our an.
nual business will probably amount to ST.
100000. We shall 60 cut of business, but
only temporarily. 1t is an .lmost inextri-
cable mass of obligations, one to the other,
and / would be willing 10 60 through a
bankruptcy court to settle it.
Geo. w. Hummell, of Hummell & Co.,
deny that their failure to pay their notes
precipitated the troble. He says the cause
of the trouble was the failure Of E. & C..
Stokes to take up their notes as accommoda-
tion paper E. & G. Stokes were partners
in his firm, and are therefore liable, first as
makers. then as endorsers, of the paper
which went to protest.
