THE STRONG RECEIvERsmP.
Affairs Were in Much Worse Con-
dition than Was Suspected.

New York, Nov ll-The appointment
OF receiver for the firm Of W. l..
Strong g. Co.., has been discussed with
great interest In mercantile circles in
view Of the fact that the firms affairs
are In much worse condition than those
who knew the eX-mayor suspected.
A bank president who has had busl-
ness with the firm, Is quoted by the
Commercial Advertiser as saying today
that II had been well known in the
street that the ex-mayor was not by
any means so rich as was generally
supposed.
He was not q millionaire and he
Was not very wealthy. Lately he and
Mr.. Stptt had been presenting their
notes in sizes all the way from $4,000
to 100000 so that the leading banks
became cautious and then many OF US
refused TO discount their stock The
two dead members Of the firm had been
doing what we call swapping paper,
Mr.. Strong endorsed Mr. Stott's notes
and Mr.. Stott endorsed Mr. Strong s.
II was an accommodation paper and
served 10 show that the firm was in
growing difficulties"
Edward a. Treat. receiver
for the firm Of w. /. Strong
& Co.. said today that he was az pres.
ent unable TO remove the uncertainty
as to whether or not the firm Is sol
vent. Ii Is not yet known whether
or not the firm was financially embar-
raised before the Death OF eX-Mayoi
Strong. Mr. Treat made the following
statemnt.
'The books must be gone over ana
days viii be required for that work,
Just as soon as I can | will issue a
statement Of the firms affairs"
The general opinion among men In the
dry goods trade today was that II
would not have been necessary 20 ap-
ply for a receiver for the firm had Il
not been that Mr. Strong and Mr.. Scott
of Stottsvllle n. Y, died within a few
days OF each other. II Is genrally sup
posed that Mr.. Strong was a large en-.
dorser Of Mr.. Stott.
