Failure i'm the WOODEN Trade.

New YORK, Jan. 21.-The suspension of Wa
terhouse Bros. & Co., extensive wooden manu-
was announced to-day, and occasioned consid-
erabe excitement among the wool trade gen.
eialy. The exact amount of liabilities cannot
made up; but it Is thought that he entire in
debtedness will be in the neighborhood Of $780,
600, and the assets. consisting Of machinery,
stock, etc. will be largely IN excess of that
amount. The failure is attributed to the shrink
age in values and great loss of business on ac-
count of unfavorable weather,
The firm manufactured large quantities of
heavy woolen goods for overcoatings, etc.. and
for these there has been little or no demand
during the past season. A meeting of their
creditors has been called for the twenty fourth
instant. Their creditors are mainly in New
York and throughout the Eastern States. No
assignment has been made. and if there should
be thrown out OF employment.

The want OF banking facilities between New

would do much to stimulate American exports

they could underbid foreign banks aud secure
