So shillings, the larger portion of ton.
mage already here, with average rates Of
27s. Cd, making loss on charters of
about 100000. They had also pur,
chased grain on their own account
to the extent of involving loss
of Sl50,000. 1t has been known for
some time that the firm were in difficulty,
but it was believed they could tide over.
An assignment has been made for the
benefit OF creditors, Isaac Wormser, as.
sigcee. When it was announced that the
stated liabilities were u million and a
half, statement was made to an As.
soclated Press representative that they
wonld not exceed a million, with $780,,
900 of available assets The principal
creditors are the First National
Bank, $4,000, against which it
holds grain receipts and other
collateral for S24O,0OO; the Ne.
vada Bank. $4,000: the Anglo. Cali. |
fornia Bank, Alfred Borel 4 CO., and
others smaller amounts, mostly secured,
The preliminary examination shows un-
secured debts not to exceed $780, |
600. They will probably pay dol
lar for dollar. The firm is COM
posed of NJ. Wakeman, Adolph |
Pfster, II. c. Truenback and II. Wake. |

most respected houses in the city and |
has been established thirty years. J.
ID. Spreckles Bros, are reported to be |
heavy lpsers, though Wakeman's deny |
this and say they lose nothing There |
is good grounds to believe the failure |
will bring down some smaller houses,
bat nothing definite can be known
as money Is plenty and the banks
disposed t. render every assistance.
