The Bay State Iron Company of South
Boston Suspends.
Boston, Feb. l2.-The Bay State Iron Con-
pany which has extensive works in South Bos-
ton and Port Henry, N. Y, has suspended pay
ment. 5. g.. Smelling is president and J.
Avery Richards. treasurer The last official
statement showed a liability of $650,000 and
quick assets of only $450,000. The firm has
been borrowing money recently on western
railway bonds, but a recent decision of a west
ern court has given precedence as liens on
roads to bonds held by States over those held
by persons or corporations. In view of this
the banks here which have been loaning
money TO the iron company decline to do SO
any longer. The officers of the company then
called upon the stockholders to help them out,
but refused any more money and thought it
better Tor their own interests to close up and
sell out. The plant is worth one million dol
lars. The liabilities will probably reach three
quarters of a million, and by good manage
ment it is believed by parties Interested the
creditors will eventually suffer no loss.
