DOWN WITH ATHUD
&. Burkhalter & Co. of New
York Forced 10 Suspend.
A MILLION DOLLAR FAILURE
Creditors Say That Dishonest Practices
We're INDUCED I9-One of the
Firm Talks.

NEW YORK, Oct. CO. Burkhalter
4 Co.. wholesale grocers, l2i and l23
Hudson street, assigned today. Pref
erences were given asgregAtIng $751;
los. The firm, 1t is SAID, sold 500, 900
OF their paper within thirty-slx hours
of making their assignment, on the
strength of the statement tha: they
had s3i, 900 of assets over and above
their Liabilities. 1t 10 believed that the
total Liabilities will be very large.
Mr.. John Ii. Burkhalter, one of the
members of the firm, ssid TINS after
noon: The thing has come upon US
very suddeny, and al tins moment We
do not know where We stand. Our
preferences are all for money advanced
by our friends To help US through.
After thorough examination OF our
affairs statement will be made
by our assignee and his attorney
As to why We were forced to make an
assignment | can only say that it was
largely due TO the illness of my part
ner, which has greatly embarrassed the
business. Other reasons for assign
ment were for collections and the gem
eral stringency of the money market.
| am very hopeful that we shall be
found to have enough 10 pay all our
creditors and resume business again"
Mr.. Fancher, the assignee, president
of the Irving National bank, said: al
am trusting We shall be able to satisfy
creditors and put the firm on It's feet
again"
From what could be learned of cred
itors ana representatives OF creditors,
the failure appears to be pretty bad
one and attended. moreover, with
some features of q peculiar, nos to say
very suspicious charac ter. 1t is al
legged that the firm surreptiously and
Improperly disposed of goods OBJ
tanned on credit within the last
few days, thereby defraudlng
their creditors. The particulars
of the failure are likely to become ex-
;remely interesting as they become bet
ter known. A creditor said today after
interviewing John III. Burkhalter, that
If the liabilities did not reach 81 900, 900
there might be something left for the
unsecured creditors. He hoped that
they would not exceed 500, 900, which
Mr.. Burkhalter put as the limit, but he
felt quite sure that they would amount
to 81 900, 900 when the truth came out.

English Cotton Mills.
NEW YORK, Oct. 20.-WilIiam T..
Smith OF 81. Louis, United States con-
sui at Huddersfeld, Eng. has just ar
rived in New York on leave of absence.
Huddersheld is city OF l2o, 900 inhab-
ltants and is III the nesrt of cotton and
wooden manufacturing industries OF
England. Tho factory chimneys there
number several thovsand. In all m
terview today Mr.. smith said that
manufacturing Industries IN Hndders-
field, Leeds, Oldham, Noting ham and
Sheffield had either closed or been
hopelessly crippled by the Mckinley
bill.
Irwin, Lodge & Sons" he said zone
of the largest manufacturing firms IN
II Huddersfiel, recently moved 10 America
and located ID Jamestown, Ny. Other
big firms have closed their establish
ments white others are. preparing TO
move 10 America. Some or the large
cotton goods manufacturers have gone
To India, where there isa great demand
for such light fabrics. There was never
such great expression IN the cotton
and WOODEN industries of England as at
the. present time. Merchants and man.
ufacturers realize that these goods can
be manufactured AS we'll III America as
in England. The English press is
shouting for Cleveland and free trade.
Judge Bail, an eminent Irish jurist, has
recently published work showing that
England in the past favored radical
protection against the manufacturers
of Ireland whenever they were brought
into competition with those of Great
Britain, and that John Bull believes IN
protection when it serves his interests
alone. The wages paid to the factory
hands in Hudderstield average from 20
to 20 cents day. None OF the men
have been brought to America by the
English manufacturers and conse-
ouently many thousands OF hands are
at present out of employment. The
depression i'll the Huddersfield indus
tries and other manufacturing centers
will result in the closing and removal
of more factories"

cratic ofiioeholders have been careful
10 visit the headquarters after dark. IN
