CINCINNATI, March. 15.-The firm
of Pfirrman & Pau, whisky dealers,
suspended to-day. The liabilities
amount to 1926, 600; assets, $500, 900.
The m that o failure was likely
to occur caused a good deal of anxiety
In business circles early In the day,
but Ms soon as 1t became known that 1t
was Pfirrmann & Pau who had been
driven to the wall, q sense of relief
was experienced, and no bad results
are likely to follow on account of the
failure. Tho suspension is due to
over.production and the failure of con-
gress to pass the bonded whiskey ex-
tension bill. Two small drafts, each
for less than $1,000 each, went to
protest. An extension could probably
have been secured, but there was no
probability that the situation would
improve. There Is evidently little
chance Of loss of any of the creditors.
