There are no new developments in tn,
Kelley failure at Minneapolis. The prob
ability is that very large portion of thu
mortgages not yet due will be good, bu
there may be losses in cases where the KEEL
leys have collected money upon coupons o.
upon loans and have not RENTED to tn,
owners. The amount involved in thii
way will be large in the aggregate, but on
ly a fractional part of all the good in
vestments in mortgages. Six months /!
granted for claims to be presented to thu
assignees. The assets of the Kelley con
Germ consist largely in real estate, accum
ulated by buying in when there was a fore
closure. 1t is understood to be the policy
of the assignees to handle the property il
the interests of all the creditors and not tc
force sales of real estate. Mortgages which
were good before the failure are equally
good now, and the disposition of all loca
holders of the Kelley loans is to bear this
fact in mind and await the developments
| which time alone can bring.
