mcnt yesterday to John \. Anderson, CIV
irg preferences to John II. Inman Of $4,000,
and Booker Sj,237.G2. He was formerly
OF the firm of Baldwin & Co., and
sold out three years ago for $4,000,
since which time he has been in
business alone. He owns considerable
real estate in different parts OF Georgia, and
has factory in New Jersey. lie also I'M
ported from Europe. His sales were main
iv i'm the southern States-chiefy in Geor-
Gia. When the failure Of Il. w. l.. Raisin
& Co., Of Baltimore, occurred on Friday
Mr.. DcLcon was so much involved that il
was impossibleforh him to eXtricate himself,
and the assignment was necessary. Mr..
DeLeon estimates his liabilities at $4,000.
The value OF his assets will depend largely
on what il realized from the amount due
him bv Raisin & Co. This amount he
places ut about 100000. Much sympathy
is felt in the trade here for Mr.. DeLeon,
and it is thought that his suspension will
be but temporary.
