WIFE JAMrsoN rAI1uRE.
Repeated Calls for Money Drives tho
Firm to the Wall.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 2S.--rhe odd estab-
lished and highly respected financial house
of Il. X. Jamison & Co. closed its doors at
O'clock to-day. The head of the
house has been one of the most prominent
figures on the Get for over SO years, and
has always enjoyed the warmest esteem of
his fellows. BEGINNING as a mere boy in
the house of which by energy and pluck
he afterward became the head, he finds
himself at the end forced TO the wall by an
extraordinary condition Of affairs.
few months ago i. X. Jamison was
generally. rated as worth fully $500, 00Oi but
for nearly month the firm has been
freely talked about on the street. On
several occasions there were reports of it's
inability to obtain money, but as it was
ascertained that all calls were met, conf
dence was in measure restored. But fire.
quent reiteration Of the rumors had its
effect The result was that the firm WIS
beset on all sides by calls for loans. These
calls it was unable to stand.
Some of the largest enterprises in which
the firm was interested have been unpro-
ductive. The house was fiscal agent for
large number of country banks, and many
of these withdrew their deposits when the
stringency in the market began, The re-
suit was that the assignment was deter
mined upon as a matter of justice to all
concerned
The firm, late in the afternoon, issued
the following circular:
Our ASSIGNMENT is due to the striugency Of
the money market and the impossibility OF re-
placing loa called by the banks; also, tn the
fact that we have been compelled to sustain
enterprises with which our name has been
connected.
After the failure q conference was held
by the members of the firm with the as
signee and Lawyer George L. Crawford.
II was determined to issue a statement as
soon as possible to the creditors, showing
the exact condition of affairs. The clerks
were at once put to work. and the state
ment is expected to be ready within the
next few days. The firm has been rapidly
liquidating its holdings in the local stocks
| in order to obtain funds so that when the
/ failure was announced from the rostrum
of the Stock Exchange the effect was COM
paratively small, The liabilities are esti-
mated at from 81, 100000 to S2,000000.

Jainisons Worse Than Supposed Others
Hnrd Hit--BaLer Hns Made His Escape.


PHILADELPHIA Nov. 29.--The failure of
b. L, Jamson e CO., divided the attention
of the street this morning with startling
publication Of John II. Baker, Jr.'s gigantic
iurgercs. The general opinion seems to
be that the failure of Jamison g. Co., will
be worse than was at first reported. The
firm are said to have been large borrowers
lately and several financial institutions Of
this city are thought TO have been heavily
hit by their suspension. The failure has
had no appreciable effect on the local stock
market, stocks to-day being dull but
steady. As yet the firm have not made any
statement regarding its position, but an
approximate of their liabilities and assets
will probably be made by Assignee
Thompson later in the day.
Beyond the statement given to the papers
last night no information in regard to
Bakers enormous populations will be
made public by the counsel of the alb
sconders family, 1t is the general inn
preston that Baker has made good his
escape from the country and will not be
apprehended, Assignee Mellon of Baker
Bros & Co., is still at work endeavoring to
ascertain the liabilities Of the firm, but he
is still unable to make any statement O
