GRANTED AN EXTENSION.
A Big Dry Goods Merchant Of Chicago
Given More Time.


Given More Time.
New York, June 14.-It was reported in
the dry goods trade to day that big Chi
cago dry goods house, known as the James
H. Walker Company, which does both a
wholesale and retail business, has been
forced by the stringency in the money
market to ask the indulgence of some Of
its largest creditors in this city, as well as
in Chicago. The concern, it is said, is
perfectly solvent, but is short of ready
cash, collections being very slow and the
rates for accommodation from banks or
individual money lenders very high.
Rather than pay this large
discount, James H Walker, presi-
dent of the company, has
secured an extension upon heavy line of
bills due merchants within the current
month and next two. Mr. Walker is re-
ported to have met with no difficulty in
obtaining all the accommodation he
wanted
