POPE COMPANY IN
RECEIVERS HAND
INABILITY TO SECURE AccoMMo-
DATIoNs FROM BANKS BY THE
STRINGENT MONEY MARKET.
Vice President Pope Appointed by the
Court to Settle Affairs Of Concern,
Which He Believes Will Be Able
to Pay Dollar for Doiiar-Manu-
featured Columbia Bicycles.

New York, Aug. 15.-The Pope Man
ufacturing company of Hartford. Conn.
failed yesterday and an application
was made to the courts for the ap-
pointment Of a receiver. The court
selected Albert L. Pope, the vice pres
ident OF she company, to settle up the
affairs Of the concern. The liabilities,
1t is s,.id. will approximate $4,000. 900.
Due % Tightness Of Money Market.
Receiver Pope, after his appoint
ment, stated that the assignment was
due to the inability Of the company to
secure accommodations from the
banks on accoun Of the tightness in
the money market. According to Mr..
Pope, the company has an abundant
supply Of assets and is doing a steady
business.
VIII BE Able to Pay in Full.
The receivership came so suddenly
that Mr.. Pope stated that he was IN
able to say anything about the inan-
cial conditions at present. 1t is
thought that the company will be able
to pay dollar for dollar.
An Ancient Concern.
The Pope concern was organized
just after the close Of the Civil var
with money that Colonel Albert A.
Pope had saved from his soldiers pay.
The Pope Manufacturing company was
organized in 1877. The first business
a done at Boston. The nominal
capital was 500, 900, but this was soon
increased to $1,000, 0O0.
Columbia q Household Name.
1t was in the early sos that the
Pope oncer came to be known
throughout the world for the quality
of the bicycles that were turned out
in its factories. All over the world the
name Columbia" became a standard
for excellence.

New York, Aug. 15.-Distrust Of the
governments attitude toward the cor

stringency in all the heavy uarkets
Of the world, and the financial embar-

stock market yesterday.
Melted Like Snow.
The prices of stocks melted in a
sensational manner, and the average
level at the close of the market was
below that reached in the memorable
Northern Pacific panic of May, 1901.

Stocks were sold lower than ever
