Its Feet Again.


The stock of crockery and glassware
of the firm of Wemott. Howard q Co.,
lately assigned. was sold to E. B. Clark,
of Dubuque, To-, yesterday afternoon
for S6S,127. Joseph Jockey. the as
signee, armed with yoluminous in
ventory of the stock, sold the wares to
the above gentleman in the district
court room yesterday, he being the
highest bidder among several st. Paul
and Minneapolis concerns. The stock,
which is new and marketable, inven-
tories at 1926, 900 net, and was bought in
by Mr.. Clark, who will permit the
old firm to resume business, thus saving
to st. Paul an institution second to none
of its kind in the Northwest. The
firms Liabilities will amount to about
$780, 900, $40, 200 of which is due to the
National German American bank. 1t
was rumored about the place of sale
yesterday that the retail merchants of
the Twin Cities had formed compact
to buy out the stock if such could be
done at an agreed cash price. About a
dozen bidders were present. some of
whom were represented by their at
torneys, and the bidding rose from $780,
600 to the selling price, slightly over so
cents on the dollar of the cash value of
the stock. The purchaser was deter
mined, however, to keep the enterpriS-
ing firm OIL its feet, and to.that end Sc
cured the stock.
