nlents-LiabllIties, over 81,OOO,OOO.
READING, Pa, March 6.-The works of the
Reading Iron Company were closed Tues
day. The firm has given notice OF the
suspension of its payments and called
meeting OF its creditors to be
held at the Philadelphia offices Thurs
day. The concern Is one of the largest
of its kind in America and dispeuses in
wages in this city every year over " ,OO0,-
OGO. The first Judgment against the COM
pany was by the Reading Railroad Company
for $4,000. The cause OF the failure il
generally attributed to the stringent condi-
ton of the iron trade.
About 1880 men are employed in the
works in Reading. There are three rolling
mills steam forge, q large machine-shop
and foundry, q rail works, and one of the
largest pipe and flue mills in the country.
The works We're originally owned by sey-
fert McManus & Co.. The firm failed some
years ago, and the creditors then organized
and decided to continue the business under
the title Of the Reading Iron Works.
: PHILADELPHIA, March Cit was said
Tuesday afternoon by bank president that
the Reading Iron Company has sold large
and that some of the Philadelphia banks
are very heavy creditors.
The liabilities are said to be about 81 ,OOo,-

debt, and the balance $500, OOO) is due to
various parties, mostly for material pur-
chased at various times. A stakeholder of
the company said:
II think that the plant is worth 81 $780,
COZ. do not know just what our liabilities
are. JANUARY the company had $780, 600 of
mortgage bonds outstanding. Anew mort
gage for $60O,0OO was made and bonds
were issued OF these 600 were
issued to retire the old bonds and
100000 to acquire additional prop
erty. The company owns about seven
ty acres in Reading and valuable
property in this city. We did a large bust
ness and two years ago were in very good
condition. We put our money into the
business as fast as we made it. A large
business was formerly done in piping nat
ural-g wells, and this has fallen of con-
stderably during the last year.
