Baltimore Md, Oct IA persistent
| rumor pervaded the financial district here
today that j. William Middendorf and
Company, of this city, and John L. Will
Hams & Sons, of Richmond, Va, were
financially embarrassed. Those in inter-
est declined to discuss the matter during
the afternoon and evening, but late to-
night after conference which lasted sew.
eral hours gave out the following state
ments:
In view of the extraordinary and un-
expected financial situation now existing
IN New York, Messrs. John l.. Williams
& Sons, of Richmond, Va, and j. William
Middendorf & Company, of Baltimore,
have found it necessary to ask temporary
indulgence Of their creditors.
1.-The undersigned have, at the request
oil these two firms, consented to act as
an advisory committee to examine into
their condition and promptly report as
appropriate plan of extension. The com
mittee will roceed to the immediate en-
Torrance of this duty. In the mean
while they believe it to be to the inter-
est of all concerned, that no legal or 9TH
er step be taken by individual creditors
to complicate the situation, but that the
present status should in all respects be
maintained for common protection and
benefit
THE above firms estimate that their
assets, inventoried at current quotations
exceed their liabilities by very large
amount which will be naturally augmented
by the restoration of normal conditions
In view of the official relations of Mr..
j. s. Williams and Mr. j. w. Middendorf

to state that neither firm, nor any mem
Der thereof is indebted to that company
