Burnett, who moved for confirmation.
stating that, - the proceedings seemed
TO be regular, it was the the duty Of the
court to confirm it, even though the pur-
chase price was small. This motion was
opposed by Z. 8. Bronangh, who appeared
on behalf his firm, and Referee Whal-
ley, who also appeared in his own be-
half. Both heartily Endorsed . PROPOSE
ton made by Wallis Nash. This il .
proposition made by English capt alists
by wire to the effect that, if taken under
advisement long enough TO give ample
time. $50, 600 would be deposited with
the court a. . guarantee that, II q new
sale WAS ordered, $500, 900 or upward

contracted during the receivers admin

was also present. and desired that the

money, when the apparent dieeatisfac-
ton might be overcome, and he be per-
mitted to 60, leaving the matter to the
gentlemen who might offer more for the
