JAY COOKE DIVIDENDS.
The numerous creditors of Jay Cooke
& Co., in thiscity have been made glad
by the receipt of a notice from the tras-
tee indicating the prospect of an early
dividend. In the period of nearly five
years which has elapsed since the failure
of Jay Cooke & Co., the creditors have
only received toe paltry dividend of five
per cent. At The time of the failure so
great was the confidence in the concern
that claims were bought up here to a
considerable extent at prices as high as
40 cents on the dollar. " thin the last
two months here creditors here have re-
ceived offers of 25 per ceut. on their
claims, which have in many inst iDces
been accepted. The meeting of the COM
mittee of creditors to declare dividend
will be held on Monday July %. Proba-
bly, at least one-half OF the original credi-
tors, discouraged at the prospect of receiv-
ing ANYTHING, have disposed of their
claims for what they could get.
