c!pal reason, however. for the weakness which pre-
vailed throughout the day the showing Of the
government report. Overnight consideration Of the
official statistics apparently convinced the trade that
with continuance OF favorable weather the wheat
crop Of the United States will DO very little below
the average yield. Damage reports from the North

AFTER W. L. STOW & co.
Creditors File Petition in Bank
r~ptcy, alleging Preference.

An involuntary petition in bankruptcy was filed
late yesterday afternoon against W. [. Stow & Co.
a brokerage firm which suspended from the
Stock Exchange on April D. Three creditors are
named in the Northumberland Waterbury, with
a claim of S134 900; Roy A. Rainey and Lawrence
Waterbury, with claim Of Ss.567, joint ac-
count and Paul Perret. with a claim Of SIP.
Preferential payment of assets IS alleged
The firm consists Of w. L. Stow and Henry
Coolidge, and formed June l. 1899, and the
failure in April of this year was its second. On
July "a, 19O3 the day of the Talbot ]. Taylor fail
ure, W. L. Stow & co. also failed, but after sew
eral months settlement of the firms affairs was
made, and il resumed business. At the time of the
failure in April it expected that the firm would
be able TO resume business.
Mr.. Waterbury customer the firm, and
at the time of the failure his account showed a
profit. The joint account Of Waterbury and Rainey
also showed profit. Mr. Waterbury in his petit
ton alleges that note for $4,000 given to him in
part payment for the Indebtedness Of the firm was
allowed TO go TO protest after he had Endorsed it
over TO Rowland, Knapp & Co.
The preferential payments alleged as act of
bankruptcy said to have been made between
March 20 and April 49, 1901 Payments of $4,000 TO
the Hanover National Bank of SIS O0O to J. II. Wat
& Co, of S50,00e TO James Watson, 5000 TO II.
P Pell & Co. and S11 to J. Sanford Beatty
alleged In addition it IS alleged that the two
Stock Exchange seats owned by the firm valued
at $15oOG were transferred TO the estate Of A. w.
Wood.
It was generally thought at the time of the
pension in April that the Indebtedness to Lawrence
Waterbury the of the firms failure. and
the petition in bankruptcy confirms this impression.
1t shows also. that the estimates of the debt
Mr.. Waterbury were exaggerated at that time
Some time before the announcement Of the fail
ure judgments had been obtained against Mr..
Waterbury by George ]. Gould and Evans r. Dick.
Mr.. waterbury Is at present in Europe.
