 In presenting the petition, MT. Pren- tice was accompanied by Alvan Waldo Hyde. He said that the company has orders from commission houses for about $500 worth of goods and as the materials for these goods are all in the mills the only expense attached to getting out the goods was the labor attached to working up the material. The receiver was wanted for this pur- pose. The plant is now in operation. Arthur M. Brown was present. repre- senting the Thames National bank and John F. Huntington was present rep-' resenting the Norwich Savings society, which is a secured creditor in the sum of $l15,000. MT. Huntington said that most of it's product was sold through commission houses When asked as to the cause of the embarrassment, MT.

TARIFF UNCERTAINTY CRiPpLES MILL.
Yantic Wooen Co., Files Petition Bankruptcy Wmslow T. Williams Appointed Receiver-Assets List ed at $315,600, Liabilities at $236 Have Dropped of and Mill Operated at a Loss-The Tariff the Trouble.

Representing its liabilities as $236,- 534.02, including $5,992.S1 due in wages to 126 employees for work done since July 1 and it's assets as $315,600, the Yantic W0olen company filed Volun- tary petition in bankruptcy Monday in the federal court at Hartford and asked for a receiver. Its request was granted and the company is now oper- ating under receivership. The com pany ascribes its difficulty to the un- certainty of pending tariff legislation which caused a falling off in trade
 development quite unparalleled in connection with the bankruptcy was the fact that the three largest cred itors united in asking that Winslow T. Williams president and treaturer of the company, be appointed receiver. This evident expression of confidence in the present management of the mill on the part of the creditors received it's recognition from the court anc MT. Williams was duly appointed by Judge James l.. Martin as the re- ceiVer. The bond was fixed at $20,009.
 Due to Tariff Uncertainty.
 Over the telephone Tuesday evenlng Mr.. Williams said that the financial difficulties of the company were due solely to the present business condi- tions in the woolen trade in view of the uncertainty as to what the den1- ocrats are to do about the tariff. The
 
 1t was pressed for ready capital e3r the moment and it was thought best to go into voluntary Bankruptcy, be fore it might be forced upon them Whether the mill would continue in operation he could not say as that would depend upon the way the future in the woolen industry worked out. For the past two or three years the mil had been operated at heavy loss and now the uncertainty of conditions a bout the tariff and the fear of foreign competition had resulted in the drop ping off of orders so that the mill could@ not be run up to its capacity. Thera seemed to be nothing encouraging in the outlook as to the future in tine woolen manufacturing business in gen. eral. The clothing men, said MT NVi!- liams want goods, but they are with holding their orders. and the mill men are consequ ently unable to run up to capacity On the scale at which the Yantic mill was running now accord ing to the orders that can be secured in the present unsettled condition of the Woolen business, the fixed charges of operating were too heavy to stand.
 Yantic Mill Finely Equipped
 The Yantic mill. said MT. Williams. was in a position to make money if anyone in the wool business coulG. It was in splendid physical condition, as within snort time IL nad been equipped throughout with new ma and it had a capable and con tented force of skilled employees. Of these it employs about 300 when run ming at full capacity and operates @ looms. Its product is cassimeres for mems goods and it has been operating for 60 years.
