BUSINESS TROUBLES.
Tho drygoods trade was surprised yesterday by tho
failure Of tho firm Of Clarke, Radcliffe d Co., dry

fdentla creditors for money loaned as follows:

the day the firm mado general assignment to Frederic
D. Bard without preference The partners in the
firm are Abraham H. Clarke, James A. Radcliffe, Rus
sell Dart, 1r., and Frederick W. Kenyon
The business was started January l, 1882, with
capital OF s5o,oo0 which was increased by $4,000
that Mr.. Kenyon contributed when he became
partner January 1, 1894, and Mr. Clarke also put In
100000 additional capital during the year 15s3 Their
business increased steadily and January /, 1888,
they claimed capital Of $3.50, 900. From the time
the business was started Mr. Russell Dart sr although
not partner has had the management OF Office af-
fairs and the finances. lie was of the old firm OF
r. & n. Dart who went under in 1851 on account Of
the war. Tho firm did largo business for their cap
ital, their sales averaging 81 100000 year for the
last three years Their principal business was hand

Az inc oIncc yesterday tho door guarded by
deputy sheriff, and It with tho greatest difficulty
that adm'ttance could be obtained The only one OF
the four partners who madc his appearance there
yesterday was Mr. Clarke. He positively refused to
say anything about the failure Mr. Bard the
signec, said that he had taken possession and bad
begun to make an inventory. lie could not say
anything about the liabilities. assets or camso Of the
failure When asked II defalc alton had caused the
failure be said that he could not say anything definite
ly about the matter at present. 1t was merely
surmse now. and neither he nor tho firm would say
anything until the books had been examined to SEQ
exactly what 1s the matter. Tho failure was sudden,
and they did MT wish 10 make any statement which
they might hereafter have TO correct.
In the trade the liabilities estimated to bo about
100000.
