A Chicago dispatch says: The United States Rolling Stock Company, having a large plant at Hegewich, was ou Friday night placed in the hands of a receiver. The liabilities are given at $3,816,000 and assets at $6,000,000. The failure was precipitated by slow collections and depression in the money market. This company is ore of the largest, if not larg¬ est, builders of railway cars in the world and has plants at Hegewich, HI., Decatur, Ala., An¬ niston, Ala., and Urbana, Ohio. The capital stock of the company is $4,000,- 000, of which $3,500,000 is paid up in cash, and there is $500,000 of the stock not yet issued. The assets of the com¬ pany consist of shops, yards, real estate and machinery at Hegewich, which originally cost $1,400,000, and which are 'now claimed, by reason of the ad- be vance in real estate values, to worth at least $2,000,000; its shops and works at Anniston, which cost $700,000; its plant at Decatur: costing $500,000; its shop and works at Urbana, $180,000, and timber lands iu Alabama, $40,000. “The company has in its employ at various works 2,200 men. It has been obliged to pay cash to the employes and for material to the ex¬ tent of $600,000 monthly. The present stringency in the money market has com- pelled jthe railroad companies that have bought cars of the rolling stock company iu- to pav their bills in long time paper, stead of cash, and it has been, extreme¬ ly difficult to discount the paper. Judge Blodgett appointed A. Hege- wich as president at present, and he has been for nineteen years. The judge also the ordered the receiver to continue works and not let any of the plants be shut down, Mr. Hegewich gave bond in $500,000. THE COTTON YIELD.
