LADD, BROWN & CO.'S FAILURE
The Cause Of the Failure.

ST. LOUIS, October %. 1t is asserted that the
cause of Lsdd Brown Il Co.'S failure was inabi
ity to collect bills. The immediate cause seem.
to have been the maturity of four months note,
to large amount unendorsed. due to New York
parties for purchases at auction sales. The fin
built extiavagant store in 1879 and at that time
owed Cla6in & Co, $300. 900. The New Yort
concern helped them over, and the firm partially
recovered from the shock of the panic, when one
OF the firm died, and $500. 900 was withdrawn
from the capital. This second difficulty had been
partly met, when the fever broke out in the re.
