 The amount of the liabilities Is put at $1a,soO,0O to banks and flnan. cia creditors, in addition to $3,00o,- 900 to merchandise and other credi- tors. No listing of assets Is made, but the inference of the analysis of the company's affairs is that they are small.
 The general affidavit charges that the increase in the business of the de- fendant at no time has been propor- donate to the enlargement of the capital stock and the making of loans and that since the middle of 1920 this has been steadily decreasing.
 This is reflected in the price of the stock in the open market which has declined from $75 two years ago to S1.25 last month. There are stated 10 be outstanding a,sS3,731 shares of the preferred stock on $1o0 per value and 1.26S,1S6 shares of the common stock of no par value.

 The insolvency of the company is shown by it's inability to pay the in terest on it's debts, the tomplainants claimed
 A committee was formed in Sep tember, 1921, to protect outstanding paper amounting to $13,- 65O,00O and another committee was formed last month to protect 36,0O0,- 900 gold per cent. notes and the business is now being carried on by these committees.
