had over 1000 investors, with deposits
estimated from ST. 600, 900 to So, 200, 900
The depositors received O circular from
the firm detailing the losses sustained
in recent s~peculations and giving
reasons why no dividends were paid
this month as heretofore. The circular
gives the report Of a committee Of
local bankers and brokers who examined
Irwin & Co.'s books and found that
they were heavy spectators in grain
for future delivery on the Chicago
board of trade. Since Oct. "a all &C.
counts show losses. The circular says
that the newspaper attacks injured the
firms credit and caused a run which
they tried to stop by prompt payment.
In this manner their finances were
weakened. Deals were closed out
which entailed a loss of S1l5, 200. They
have a large holding in oats which will
be protected.
MI. Irwin says the business will b.
