PASADENA. Aug. 6.-The news this
morning that the we'll known dry goods
frm Of Gardener & Webster had failed
was a general shock to business men.
The assignment, however, is not as Sc
rious as at first feared, the assets being
in excess OF the liabilities. The princi-
pal creditor Is the wholesale house Of
Murphy. Grant & Co. of San Francisco,
and the assignment Is to the San Fran
cisco board of trade. d. S. Levi is at
present IN charge of the stock, he having
been sent down by the assignee. An in
ventory is being made and business pro-
ceds as usual. 1t will be some days be-
fore q clear statement of affairs can be
made. 1t is figured that the present
stock is worth between $4,000 and $780,,
900. Liabilities. $4,000.
Gardener & Webster are the oldest dry
goods firm in the city. having opened for
business in 1887. 1t is generally hoped
that trade will improve during the fall
and the Arm will thus be enabled to re-
gain lost ground.
