surprised to-day by the suspension OF the
old and highly respectable firm OF Chas.
Camblos q Co, brokers' There are a number
OF reasons assigned for the suspension just
announced, within six days of the death OF
the head OF the firm. One generally credited
is to the effect that Chas. Camblos lost heavily
by the Chicago fire and by the panic of 1873,
and that he was carrying, by indulgence Of
his creditors who had faith IN his integrity, a
very heavy Indebtedness. His death at once
p; scipitated these clans upon his sons, and
they have been compelled to announce their
suspension. They stated to-day that they
