GREAT BUSINESS FAILURES.
The East The Result Of the Recent
Crisis - Nothing Like 1t Ever
Known In the History of
the Commercial
World.

The recent panic simply democrat
lied all business centers; New York
felt the effects more SO than any
other city in the United States;
thousands of working people were
thrown out of employment. Failure
after failure closed the immense fac
tories; nc industry suffered as much
as the clothing manufacturers and
dealers in woolens, because not only
on account of the great crisis but the
unsettled question on account of the
tariff helped to force old established
houses to the wall. Mr.. M. Ryan,
of New York City, arrived IN our
city last night. He is employed by
the Courts of New York to dispose
of stocks of merchandise for the
benefit of creditors. With him is a
force of Is statesmen who are now
busy getting the mammoth stock of
$40 900 worth of clothing and mems
furnishing goods ready for the great
New York creditors sale in Mexico.
The entire building next to Kabrich's
dry goods store, west side square,
has been rented for the purpose.
Mr.. Ryan states hat this sale will
beat anything of the kind ever
known in the history of Mexico.
The stock consists of the very best
makes of clothing knownin the trade.
Mems suits worth $3.50 will be sold
at $1.6S, mems suits worth $40 will
be sold for $2:1S. Elegant Prince
Albert suits for IS 35, children's
suits 80 cents. Look out for the big
lad" Positively no one admitted in
the building before the date of sale.
Don't fail to attend the great sale
and reap a benefit.
