The Liabilities WIN Reach $4,000. 900
and the Assets Barely That Figure
Where the Weight OF the Failure Fails
The Firm May Pay in Full.
NEw YoRK, July .o6.-The embarrassment
Of the large dry goods commission house Of
Lewis Bros s. Co, OF No 50 Worth street,
New York; Philadelphia, Chicago and Bos-
ton, caused great astonishment in dry goods
circles The house is principally a Philadel-
phia concern, its headquarters being there at
25S Chestnut street, the stores in the other
cities being branches. The house has done a
business as high as SIS, 600, 900 a year, but Of
late years it is said to have fallen off to
ss000,OOO or $4,000 900 They claimed a
capital of about 81 800, 900 and that they had
made money every year. Since the begin
ming OF this year there has been considerable
inquiry regarding the financial condition of
the firm, and in March last Bradstreet's took
away their capital rating and reduced their
credit rating grade lower from the highest
which the firm had heretofore held. The
firm filed a general assignment at p. m in
this city and Philadelphia to Cornelius n.
Bliss, of Bliss, Fabyan & Co. Mr.. Bliss said,
as far as he knew, the firms statements in
the past sixty days showed surplus of over
sl,000,000, but that was not available now.
A large part OF it was locked up in accounts.
He thought the assets would make a very
fair showing
Partly Caused by the Johnstown Disaster.
It was currently reported in the dry goods
trade that one of the causes Of the failure
was the Johnstown disaster. The late Henry
Lewis had large interest in the Cambria
iron works at Johnstown, which his estate, it
was said, continued to hold, and the loss by
the food had deprecated these securities
The Johnstown Manufacturing company
Woodvale woolen mills, also consigned their
product to Lewis Bros. a. Co. This mill
was destroyed by the food, involving a loss
of 100000. Il was controlled by the Cam
bria Iron company.
The Estimated Liabilities.
The estimated liabilities Of the firm will
reach $4,000,00O The assets are smaller
There were no preferences.
Where the Indebtedness Lies.
1t is said that nearly all the banks in New
England had the firms paper, especially in
the cities where they had mill accounts.
Boston, Providence, Hartford, New Haven,
New Bedford banks were reported to hold
considerable paper. Many banks in New
York and some of the trust companies held
long lines Of their paper among those men
toned being the Fourth National, Ninth Ma
tional, Central National and Central Trust
company. Philadelphia banks are the heav-
lest holders Of their paper.
