The Thurber- -Whyland Company Also
in a Receivers Hands.

Judicious Handling and Continu-
ance of the Business Necessary to
Make the Assets Pan Out.
New York. Nov. 14.-Francis B. Thur
Der, the wholesale grocer, head of the
Thurber, Whyland Company, made an
individual assignment to-day to Boudinot
Keith No preferences are gwen.
Justice Andrews this morning appointed

The president of the company, in the ap-
picatiOn for receiver, says in his af1ida-
Wit that the debts of the concern aggre-
gate SS00,000, Of which $500, ,000is CONNER
cial paper. The company does a bust
ness, he says, of $125,000 a week. 1t was
organized in December, 1890
MORE CAPITAL NEEDED.
Mr. Thurber, in speaking of the assign
ment, said: while all creditors will be
paid in full, the business cannot be con-
tinued prohtably without fresh capital.
This has been offered and can be obtained,
but only through reorganization, which,
in the opinion of the largest
stockholders, is preferable to drag
ging along on the present basis, not only
without dividend, but without danger to
all interested. The liabilities will
amount to about SS00,000, as against
which thers-%re assets to the amount Of
about 81, 100000, though the realization of
this sum will depend upon tudicious
handling and to some extent upon the
continuance of the business" The man
who is to furnish S500,000 capital TO the
Thurber-Whyland Company is said to be
Mr.. Hass, a retired groceryman of San
Francisco, who has just come east.
