says: The Leeds Land Improvement
Company of this city failed to-day, with
liabilities of 500, 900 and assets less than
Sl,O0O,OOO, mostly in real estate, on which
scarcely the amount of liabilities can be
realized. The company was organized
to build the manufacturing suburb OF
Leeds for speculative purposes. In doing
so it incurred an Indebtedness over its
income for the sale of property. Some
of the holders Of prior liens commenced
to push their claims, and John ]. Brookes.
Boston financial man, was sent to in
terest Eastern stockholders in raising
moneyto satisfy them. +. G. Henderson,
local creditor, found that he raised
100000, but misappropriated it, and the
discovery precipitated the failure.
The failure carried down with it tho
American Security Company, the Leeds
Annex Company and the Sioux City
Land Company. The total capitalization
in the four companies was $1,000. 900.
Much of this was watered, as at the out
side 100000 could be all that would be
realized from the assets i'll easy money
times.
1t is thought the failure will not create
any stringency outside Of those now in
it. All the creditors will carry the losses
without becoming embarrassed. 1t is
now known the foreclosure proceedings
will be commenced tomorrow. Much of
the bonded Indebtedness is secured by
mortgages on real estate.
