which was filed yesterday, shows apparent net

had conduct of the business is shown to be S65 O2
The business carried by Dresser & Co. was
largely that OF commission and silk merchants, and
they purchased large supplies OF silks which were
placed in warehouses, the warehouse receipts being
pledged collateral for loans made TO the firm.
Some of these goods were in bonded warehouse
subject to the payment of duties. and could not
be removed or inspected until the duties had been
paid. None of these pledged goods reached the
hands of the receivers as part Of the assets. The
right of the bankrupt estate in them was solely
to receive whatever they might sell for in
of the Of elaine OF the holders of the
warehouse receipts. II being apparent to the re-
ceivers that If these pledged goods were sold by
the PLEDGES at forced sale they would not bring
one-half of their value. they sought to ar
range with the PLEDGES to sell the pledged goods
in the ordinary course Of business.
All the pledged silks were Japanese silks, the
greatest demand for which exists in April. May,
June and July. It the expressed intention Of
the PLEDGES before the receivers proposed their
plan to offer all their pledged silks for sale in the
open market. The silk houses feared that IL all
the silk held by the PLEDGES sold at forced
sale it would break the market price for silk. and
they would suffer considerable loss on their silk
The receivers plan steadied the market, and,
though some of the PLEDGES sold silk considerably

allow the receivers to sell the pledged goods in
the ordinary course of business. In this way the
receivers realized about $500 Ihe receivers
