THE FIGURES DECEIVED.
Poor Bookkeeping the Cause of
Brown, Steese & cIark's Failure.

BosToN, March 2.-Mr. Henry A. Piper,
the expert accountant, who has been inves-
tigating the accounts of Brown, Steese &
Clark, the insolvent wool firm. has submitted
an exhaustive report to the assignees. The
trial balance of the ledger, he says, showed
August 1, 1889, an apparent surplus of $246.-
9S3, but on an analysis there are found
among the assets large amount of accounts
that are worthless. The discrepancies be-
tween the note book record and the ledger
account of notes payable are $161 ,669, and
in notes receivable $780, The present
bookkeeper claimed that these discrepancies
were inheritances from his predecessors,
which was found to be a fact by Mr. Piper.
The latter was obliged to 20 back over the
books to 1865, and found, the discrepancies
spread over each year from 1865 to 1888.
Taking the books of the firm at their face
value, and making the necessary corrections,
the statement OF the firms condition would
show assets of 81 ,545,37S, and liabilities of
$1,411,31s. OF the accounts receivable,
$565.177 are OF somewhat doubtful value.
The other assets might, under prosperous
circumstances, have proved good for nearly
their face. value, but in insolvency
age. 1t was found that indebtedness to the
amount OF $1.700,S $40 existed August 9, 1889,
that had no record on the firms books, thus
swelling the direct debts to $3,112,15S. No
uetal!eu record OF this additional Indebted
ness was in existence except such as could
be found in memoranda on slips of paper,
The manner of doing business was SO loose
that the accountant thinks that six months
solid work would scarcely be sufficient to
work out the mysteries of the accounts.
The condition of the firm, he believes, as
near as can be given, is as follows:

The temperature is falling.

Despondent Ice Cutters.

WHITEHALL. N. Y, March -Four
days ago contractors could not find men
enough to handle the ice which they were
anxious to take from Lake Champlain,
Lake George and the creeks tributary to
them. Every boarding house and hotel was
filled with men, and dozens of families in
every village took in boarders, There was a
general boom, everybody was making mon
ey, and fabulous sums were expected to be
realized out of ice.
Today the situation is entirely changed.
The scene of activity has given place to one
of absolute idleness the Ice boom has col
lapsed, and many of the men who saw fort
unes ahead see ruin staring them In the face.
The continued rain has taken the ice all out
of the creeks. The channel leading from
Whitehall is free from ice. South Bay.
where the most of the business was being
done, is still icebound, but the ice is getting
thinner every day.
New Yorkers hardly realize what this fail
ure means to them. 1t will be impossible to
harvest sufficient quantity of ice, and there
is none anywhere except in Canada and
Maine. Icemen have been here from Massa-
chusetts, Connecticut, PENNSYLVANIA. New
jersey and all parts of New York state. III
the cold weather had continued two weeks
longer there would have been 10000 men
working ON Lake Champlain. They were
arriving by hundreds every dav and they
have not even yet stopped coming.
NEWPORT, r. l., March 1.-The local ice
company secured In Maine about half enouph
ice for the city's supply. The crop there
has now failed, and on Monday representa-.
tives of the company will go to Canada tc
obtain further supply.

KEEP YOUR OLD RuBBERs.
New Ones viii Be Luxurles as Things
Look at Present.

New YORK, March 2-One Of the largest
shoe manufacturers has just bought all the
rubber obtainable ia this market, aggregat-
ing nearly one million pounds. The outlook
for scant supply during the summer months
is exciting much apprehension among con-
sumers. The absence of much snow this
winter has caused the manufacturers to run
their factories on short time aud buy spar
ingly of rubber. Hence the unexpected
news Of the balance of the crop being cut
short through sickness and epidemic on the
interior waters of the Amazon causes ankle
ty on the part of those importers who have
sold short and consumers who are bare Of
supply. The manufacturers Of rubber boots
and shoes have an adjourned meeting on
Wednesday next, when they will meet at the
Hotel Vendome, in Boston. At their meet
ing few day days ago 1t was decided to ad-
vance the price OF rubber boots and shoes 10
per cent, but an advance Of 10 per cent is
now contemplated. Some manufacturers
think that Para rubber will advance to 81
per pound before midsummer. All the rub
her in the market today Is but one month 8
supply. while at this time last year four
months supply was In sight.
