HAMBURG, iOctober 17.-The old pri-
vate banking firm of Haller, soehle s.
Co. failed to-day. The liabilities OF
the firm are variously stated, and it was
estimated early in the day that they
}5were in the neighborhoodt of 100000;
but the Hamburger Nachrichten says
this afternoon 1t Is informed by a
banker who is in position to know
81, 100000. This will make the crash
OF this firm the biggest bank failure
in Germany since the famous break
down Of the Leipziger Bank in June.
1901.
The assets of the firm have not yet
been ascertained. but in banking circles
the capital of the partners is declared
to be $2,250,000 Nearly all the Joint
stock and private banks in Hamburg
are affected in varying degrees by the
failure, but. number of them say
that their claims are adequately se-
cured. Among the firms liabilities are
acceptances for $3.750.O00. The largest
amount held pby any individual house
seems to he s175,000. in the hands of
the Yereins Bank
Involved In Mining Scheme.
The difficulties Of the firm arose
chiefly from It's connection with a
mining company at Teplitz, Bohemia,
in which much capital was locked up.
In addition the firm had interests In
several coal mines in Austria, and was
concerned in several real estate Ven
lures. Near Vienna 1t had established
so called "Caumacite" works, designed
to exploit a new method OF developing
unusually high temperature in fur
snaces. In connection With this enter

All these assets are hard to convert
into cash without heavy loss, but the
bankers holding the paper OF the Arm
believe the liabilities probably can be
met If liquidation is not too much
