Large WooIen Mill Failure

Boston, Feb. 3.-The announcement of tho
failure of D. b. Sayles, Danville and 8. Z.
and I D. Sayles, Versailles, Coma. created a
sensation among the wool merchants of this
city. These concerns, in reality one, have
been In existence twenty-five years. and were
the largest individual manufacturers of wooden
goods IN the country. The mills at Mechanics
vile were the finest in the State and run tf-
teen to sixteen sets of machinery. The mills
at Danville contained ten or twelve sets,
and those at Versailles fifteen sets.
making an aggregate of about forty set of ma
chlnery which were employed exclusively in
the manufacture OF cashmere. The product of
the three mills amounted to one and one
half or two millions of dollars in value ner an.
mum. and these goods were consigned to the
house of Law. Hartman d Co., New York. The
capital invested in mill property is esti-
mated at between $75.000 and 81 900 900
the entire village of Mechanjcsville being
owned by the firm of 81. G. & T. D. SayIes.
The failure falls heavily upon the wool mer-
chants of this city, who were creditors of the
two firms to the extent of 1880, 600 or S4O0. 600.
Ihe suspended firms were the largest purchas-
ers of wool who came into this market. and
scarcely single house has escaped the blow.
1t is estimated that three-fourtbs of the loss hv
this failure will fall upon Boston merchants.
although 1t IS impossible to state the extent
OF the liabilities. The failure is attributed to
depreciation in the value of wooden goods
and Inability of the concern to obtain assist
ance from local banking houses upon which
they have formerly relied.
