lack of business experience, allowing

Matters relating to the defunct
bank of Staley & Trench look much
better for the depositors than it was
at one time supposed possible. Mr..
Trench advises the committee. that
he will carry out his proposition, the
payment of $4,000 in cash, and
the transfer of bank property, and
the Commercial House, promptly,
and Mr.. Staley, through his wife
and son, transfers all his property to
trustees, for the benefit of the cred
ditors. The deeds for all have been
drawn, and will probably all be exc
cuted before we 60 to press. This
consumation will simplify matters
greatly, and save all the time and
expense or litigation. leaving only
the expense of converting the prop.
erty into cash, for distribution, and
the executive committee chosen tc
represent all the creditors, are such
business men that all may be assured
of the utmost economy and prompt
ness. The home, which would be
exempt under the law, has already
been placed in possession of the
trustees, and the deed Of the gypsum
property at st. Ignace, owned by
Mrs Staley, is executed and held ia
escrow, awaiting the execution OF
the other deeds We are glad tc
note the brighter outlook.
