RECEIVER FOR BANKING FIRM
McKim & Co. of Baltimore Forced 20
Close, Holding Too Much
Real Estate.

BALTIMORE, July 1.-The banking and
brokerage house OF McKim & Co., 522 Park
avenue, this city, was placed In the hands
of Morris Howard as receiver today. Mr..
Howard said he could not as vet give any
figures as to the liabilities, etc. Mr.. How
ard gave bonds for S300,O00 which would
seem to indicate that the liabilities were
half that amount. Withdrawals of de-
posits and poor business, coupled with the
desire of Hollins McKim the chief partner,
who is getting along in years, to retire
from active business were given as the
reason for the action. Receiver Howard
issued statement in which he said:
1T was deemed wise to wind up the busi-
ness. The move was not an antagonistic
one. but was made by the firms associates
and with the fun consent Of Mr. Rollins
McKim. 1t is his capital that is really in
volved. In addition to the depressed condi-
tions now prevalent In the financial world.
this bank had the handicap Of having a
large part of It's capital locked up in real
estate. This kind Of capital is of course,
not readily available. Some OF It is very
valuable and It is hoped that 1t can be
marketed and the affairs of the concern can
be speedily liquidated."
The house was established in 1852 1t is
composed at present of Hollins McKim. f.
A. Betsworth and s. Sterrett McKim. The
assignment of the firm created considerable
sentiment because of its old established
character, but in banking circles It was not
regarded as showing weakness in any other
quarter. The concern has not embarked in
any large new enterprise for several years,
It was said. 1t was set forth in the petit
tion for a receiver that the firms capital
is largely invested in real estate In Balti-
more city and county, some OF which is un-
improved and could not be readily realized
