better The reports at the Signal Office yesterday

FAILURE OF A FLOUR FIRM.

The announcement of the failure Of Iiushizar &
Buckman, grain aud fonr merchants, at No. ll9
West-st., caused considerable cOmm0tI0n at the
Produce Exchange yesterday. There were ruinors
to the effect that the firm had been specuating IN
January and February wheat, and had been caught
on the short" side, and tho meagre contracts
showed that the losses, represented IN wheat aud
oats. amounted only to about $4,000. The liabil-
tiles were about S2J,0 900. The firm was held in
high esteem, and sympathy and aid were freely
offered.
Mr.. Hushizer said last night: ave have made
an assignment to Charles II. Reeve our coniidcn-
tial clerk. Our suspension was due to the panic on
the Produce Exchange last spring. Of the many
firms which failed tncn every one was indebted TO
us. and, though the aggre gate was large we have
never got per cent of the whole. ! don't think
that our liabilities will reach $4,000, of winch
omount we don't owe more than $4,000 on the Ex-
change"
The firm is composed Of James f. Iushizer and
Robert X. Buckman. and they have been IN busi-
ness at No. 110 West-st. since 1866. Mr.. HUI
shzer was secretary of the Exchange IN 1872. also
