Chicago. Dec. 20.-James Eckels. a men,
Der OF the clearing house committee
which took over the properties of John r.
Walsh, expressed the opinion last night
that the assets will liquidate for much
more than was expected on Monday. when
The trar Ser was made. Mr.. Eckels
said.
Tho assets Of the Walsh banks. and
particularly the National bank will
ltquidate for much more than was an
tcipa ted when the transfer took place
Monday morning.
The eagerness with which many rich
options on certain properties bonds and
stocks has convinced the directors OF the
Chicago National bank that the Walsh
holdings are OF immense value.
"All things considered. ] believe that
John II. Walsh is a long way from eX-
clusion from active participation in the
world of affairs" said Mrh Eckels 1T
Is quite certain he Will emerge a man of
means and will he able TO reenter the
arena with a comfortable fortune behind
him. His holdings are large and varied.

upon their value. This was prduent NV
personal Judgment Is that our anticipa-
