SEYMOUR, JOHNSON & co. WE'RE

New York, May 2S.--The failure of Sey~
mour, johnson & Co. was announced to~
day on the New York Stock and Cotton
Exchanges.
Mr.. johnson Is quoted as saying:
I'VE have about $I750OO of loans outs
standing, well secured by margins OF "a
to 80 per cent. Banks holding these loans
have been advised by the assignee to buy
in the stock"
The failure did not come as a total sur~
prise to the cotton trade, and caught very
few houses with claims against that cons

lions obtained on Change.
Alfred Hays, Jr.. is the assignee, and
Coudert Brothers counsel. 1t Is said that
the troubles of the firm are due to COM
mltments in the cotton market They had
been long of cotton, but turned to the
short side two weeks ago. In the stocis
market they had been bears. The extens
of their contracts is not believed to bs
large.
Rumors of financial trouble regarding
the firm, which were circulated at the
time of the Price, Mccormick e. Co.'S fails
