assignment to-dav for the benettt of their
creditors to William King Hale of *7 Nas

between JtiO.Ohfl and 7(>.f100. with the asset*
yet to be determined upon The Arm.
which had two offices In this city, and
offices also In Boston. Hartford. I’rovl
denca. Philadelphia and Newark, was
formed in August, 189*. and consisted of
l-ewlw A. May and Eugene F. Enslen, of
Birmingham. Ala Mr Enalen. It Is said.
I* a cashier In a national l>ank In that
city and la understood not to have kept
In cf-ose touch with the business of the
company, because of hi* oth.r affairs. Mr.
May was the active head of the house
and his name alone appeared on the as
signment
Announcement of the susiiension was a
surprise to the Consolidated Exchange, a*
the flrm, advertising extensively and be
ing bullish In the market, bad been cred
ited with itolng a large and proAtshle
business. To-day, In fact, after toe an
nouncement of the suspension, about 1 OVi
share* of stock were closed out "under
the rule" on the Consolidated Exchange,
being about evenly divided for the long
und short account
The explanation for the failure Is. ac
cording to a clerk, that ever since the re
moval from the Arm s offices on Nov. 31,
of the Stock Exchange ticker, done un
der order of the Stock Exchange gover
nors. distrust has arisen among the cus
tomers. resulting In large withdrawal* of
deposits, fine of the clerks declares that
lllSMlt 371(4X1 had been |MI ill out In I lie
last three weeks, while Mr. M-iy him* df
was quoted a* saying that the amount
was about t22f>.OUO The continuance ot
the "run.” so It Is declared, forced the
assignment.

"I do not Imlleve the liabilities will tun
up to more than from bXI.iXP to fTO.OM I
cannot say as to the assets yet. The Arm
has lately |wld out quite lot of money

Indebtedness I may be able to make a
statement In a few days."
J. Overton Paine, a Southerner, was
formerly a member of the Arm. but with
drew over a year ago
Officials of the Consolidated Exchange
state that so (ar as they are aware, the

The Dslly Telegraph, which think* M I#
