BUSINESS EMBABBASSMENTS. 



Newark, N. J. — An involuntary peti- 

 tion in bankruptcy has been filed 

 against Harry C. Strobell, trading as 

 H. C. Strobell & Co., at 895 Broad 

 street. The petition was filed by Na- 

 than Bilder, representing the creditors. 

 The case was referred to George W, 

 Porter, referee in bankruptcy, who 

 named Chester W. Fairlie receiver. The 

 receiver was placed under $2,900 bonds. 

 No order was issued by the receiver 

 for the continuance of the business. 

 Mr. Strobell filed a written consent to 

 be immediately adjudicated bankrupt. 

 It is estimated by Mr. Strobell that 

 his assets and liabilities are about 

 equal. He values the Broad street prop- 

 erty at $150,000. On this there is a 

 mortgage of $103,000. He owns a 

 greenhouse at 101 Elizabeth avenue, 

 and the flowers and plants on hand 

 were estimated at $2,500. The liabili- 

 ties are not stated, but the bankruptcy 

 petition states that they are much in 

 excess of $10,000. R. B. M. 



Holyoke, Mass. — Gallivan Bros, re- 

 cently purchased the stock of Hugh 

 Clark and held special sales for a week 

 to dispose of it.
