THE BACKER FAILURE.

New York Broker,

New York. Aug. 7.-Counsel for n.
Myers q Bros, Savannah, Ca, has OBJ
tanned injunctions against the Merchants
National Bank, the Central National Bank
and Abraham Backer and his assignee
The banks are enjoined from disposiDg of
bonds and notes pledged with the bank by
Backer.
The cases in. which ipjunctops were
granted today show strange conduct on the
part of Backer, who failed for 81, Loco, 900,
and give currency to the rumor that crimi-
nal proceedings may be taken against him
1t appears Myers Bros. OF Savannah were
in the habit of sending Backer notes to be
discounted. They sent him notes aegre-
eating less than So, 900 and sent bonds,
notes and stocks worth $4,000 as collateral
security.
Instead Of using the collaterals, he had
the notes discounted on the strength of
Myers Bros credit. He informed them. it
is averred, that the colaterals were pledged
for discount. He, however, pledged the
collaterals on his own account and pocketed
the proceeds. Myers Bros. must, therefore,
pay the notes, and in order to get back their
collaterals must pay also tie sum secured
by Backer on them.
