 for the company, said that it had not been making any 

 money, some of the creditors threatened suit, and the assign-

 tected alike. The company had lost $2000 or $3000 worth 

 of goods in the San Francisco fire, on which there was no 

 insurance. The liabilities are $15,000, and nominal assets 

 $10,000, not including patents, the value o' which are not
