son. N. j. The liabilities are said to be
upwar DIS OF $9O0.0 900, with nominal assets

the embarrassment are inability to raise
money to meet maturity obligations, the
strin0ency Of the money market, stop

losses by recent failures in Patterson. 1t

trade failures, that they have been carry
ing a great many small concerns who do
not pay promptly and find difficulty in
making collections. Their outstanding
accounts are large and they were liberal
in credits. They generally carried a
stock of about $50, 900. Much sympathy
is expressed ard it is hoped they will
get an extension.
