Commodore Garrison's Failure.
New YORK, June 20.-Cors elius X.
Garrison today flied an assignment in
the County Clerks office to John /
Terry preference of $631 900. The de-
tails of the assignment provide for the
payment of a certain sum to Letltia w.
Garrison and sums to his lawyers also
to pay George X. Forrest Indebtedness
for management of his affairs. The re-
mainder IL due on notes secured by
stock, bonds and realty.
Melville @. Day. counsel for Garrison.
says the assignment is made because of
financial embarrassment. Ii was forced
upon Garrison by the protest of notes
under his endorsement yesterday. He
was heavy holder of securities, and SO
much OF his wealth Is tied up in these,
which are almost unmarketable at pres
ent, that he could not meet his liabili-
ties. He has large number of Ohio
railroad securities which have shruuk,
but are not now on the market, and the
value of which cannot be estimated.
The assignment is simply for the ben
eft of his creditors. The amount in
VOWED by the failure of Garrison is sup
posed to be nearly s. 100000. Prefer
ences amount to 1861 GOO. Assignee
Terry said 1t WAS impossible vet To state
figures. The effect in Wall street WAS
to unsettle things, though not to as
great an extent as was feared. Ii was
said Garrison was not very largely in
terested in stocks, his fancy bein. for
gas stocks aud outside speoiaities.
Stocks fell of one to three per cent,
but no failures are reported. A promi-
nent banker said the effect of the fail
ure, coming As 1t does now, will natur-
ally unssttle things, and liz fact stocks
cannot go any lower without hitting
and hurting some one. | think the
failure rather COED thing than other
wise, for among many different people
men like Vanderbilt and Garrison do
not stop at an accumulation OF two or
three millions, but they run il up to ten
or twenty millions. That IL wrong, and
the distribution of such large amounts
will benefit the people.
Commodore @. X. Garrison, who made
an assignment today. IL we'll known ~
formerly deeply interested in Pacific
Mail, New Orleans and West India
steamship lines. He il a large stock
holder in profitable gas companies in
this city, st. Louis, New Orleans and
other large cities. He was principal
owner of the Missouri Pacific Railroad,
but sold out few years ago to Jay
Gould. He has been Interested lately
in numerous railway schemes. He was
formerly a resident of st. Louis, and
made the bulk of his fortune prior to
the rebellion.
The failure of Garrison had not much
effect upon Stock Exchange dealings.
a. he held no large interests in the
stock market. OF course, there was
some slight furry upon the first an
nouncement of his assignment, bat no
failures followed, or any anticipation in
consequence thereof. The decline in
stocks cannot be said to be entirely due
To his embarrassment, for there were
sales OF Rsck Island, supposed to come
from Vanderbilt, which weakened the
entire list. There was no panic, and
there are no signs thereof.
