MAYER & co. ASSETS GO.
Order Restraining Sale OverrUIed by
United States Court of 1ppeaIs.

Judge Holt's order restraining the members Of
the bankrupt Stock Exchange house Of Mayer &
Co. and all others holding it's assets of any kind
from disposng OF them was oyerrued yesterday
afternoon by the United States Circuit Court OF
Appeals. 10 which tribunal the Chase National
Bank and the Stock Exchange took an appeal from
Judge Hots ruling. The decision. which repre-
Eented the unanimous opinion OF the full court.
Judges Coke. Noyes and Ward, will allow the
Chase National Bank To dispose of the securities
Of Mayer & Co.. which were held by the bank as
collateral for loans made to the bankrupt
firm. amounting to several hundred thousand dol
lars.
Simpson Thatcher & Bartlett represented the
Chase National Bank ana Lewis Cass Ledyard
appeared for tho Stock Exchange In opposition to
the argument OF William ~ Cohen. the representa-
tive Of the pettionlnG creditors who asserted that
the disposal of the securities in the present condi
tion OF the market would amount sacrifice
sales" Messrs Thatcher and Ledyard contended
that further holding OF the securities might
suit in greater losses. as the margins had already
been wiped out IL was well understood, they
pointed out. that sales OF securities held col
lateral against loans entirely legal when the
margin had been wiped out, even ii the person
giving the loans had become bankrupt.
Mr. Ledyard declared that should Judge Hots
order be sustained II would mean that hcnceforth
there would be great difficulty In obtaining call
loans, as not only banks and trust companies In
this city but European and out-of-toWn financial
institutions. would be guaranteed no protection.
The opinion of the higher court. which writ
ten by Judge Coke upholds tho validity of the
original agreement made between the bankrupt
firm and the institutions which held its securities
as collateral for loans. No fraud was alleged or
even hinted at. said the opinion, and under con-
trolling decisions of tho United States Supreme
Court the pledgee had. under the terms OF the
loan tho right to sell the securities without
tice, once the margin had been exhausted.
Mr.. Cohen intimated that he might ask for a
writ of certiorari pending an appeal to the United
states Supreme Court. The decision received
with much satisfaction in Wall Street. as had
Judge Hollis order been sustained, 1t would mean
that financial institutions making call loans would
be prevented from disposing OF collateral to pre-
vent losses on the loans.

was prepared, to be sent to the 1900 depositors in
which the plan for rehabilitating the bank
set forth. The plan is TO be submitted to the de-
positors for their approval. In the opinion of the
committee the refusal of the acceptance of this
plan would probably mean that the bank would
have to be liquidated. The plan In brief, follows:
Depositors in the bank shall on presentation of
posits 10 per cent in cash and 10 per cent In
ttcates Of deposit payable ninety days from the
date on which tho bank shall resume, and 10 per
cent in certificate of deposit payable in six
GO per cent shall be- i certicae Of deposit pay
able one year from the date of such resumption.
as above stated whenever in the Judgment Of the
officers Of the bank the business Will permit. The
bank will accept said certificates for loans made
anticipate their payment.
As soon as such number of depositors and such
amount of deposits shall have assented to the
plan will, in the Judgment OF the committee
warrant the resumption of business the part
of said bank, the committee is 10 have the right
DECLARE the plan operative and therefore be-
coming binding upon all deposltors asserting to
said plan, but the same shall not be binding in
case the bank should go into liquidation.
The committee is confident that tho bank is
solvent and its capital is unmpaired- William r.
Montgomery. president of the bank, is member
of the committee resumption of business.

Word received in South American banking
quarters yesterday that there was no foundation
for the report OF financial crisis in Chill. Banks
bankers and commercial houses are no1 affected
BY the decline in exchange. Tbfs due to the
increased demand for bills ot/exchange TO pay for
the heavy mportations in the last year. which were
required to repair earthquake damages, emphasized
by speculation for the rise which has caused the
failure of several irresponsible operators. Then,
TO meet the requirements of commerce, the govern
recently authorized the issue of s50eOo.OOo in
paper, to be guaranteed by the deposit of the pro-
ceeds of special loan authorized at the time.
Owing 10 the stringent financial situation abroad
the government has delayed the negotiation of the
loan until "a propit;ous time. The paper issue
IS $50 oooO redeemable at 1sd., against which
the government has on deposit in Germany and the
