The reason given for the delay was
that the stone could not be secured, and

present and stated that he had plenty OF
stone, but could not get cars to bring
the stone to the city. He stated that he
had made efforts to get the stone, but

His Liabilities Not Much in Excess Of
2$$ His Assets.
Receiver Ohio G.. kean, in the bank

day filed In the clerks office OF the
United States District Court his third
report In that case. This report deals
chiefly with the claims Of banks against
tho assignee, their loans in every case be.
Ing secured by collateral in the form Of
stocks mostly Chemical preferred, and
American Steel. with some, city bonds and
other stocks. In most cases the sale of
the collateral realized a sum sufficient
to wipe out the Indebtedness, and would
have done so in every case but for the
heavy slump In some OF these securities.
In several cases there Is a considerable
debit balance.
The receiver when asked yesterday at
ternoon as to the excess OF liabilities over
assets, stated that 1t was impossible at
this time to even estimate the amount,
as all the claims have not yet been filed
and investigated Many of the banks and
brokers OF the city had accounts with
Mr.. Boiling. and these filed statements
showing the settlement made of these. the
collateral In most cases fully covering
the amount OF tho debt. 1t is apparent
from an examination OF tho report that
the liabilities will not be largely In ex-
