were about half u million. Roberts was
sure all creditors would be paid in full.
A member of the frm said to a re-
porter: The failure was due to the fact
that the Philadelphia firm of Price Sher-
man & Co. was under heavy financial
obligations to them. 1t was asserted
that the New York house had been virtu-
ally carrying the Philadelphia concern
until it had been found impossible to do
so longer, hence the suspension. 1t was
affirmed that Roberts, Cushman s. Co.
was in good condition and that the
failure would not have occurred had it
no: been for Price, Sherman s. Co.
