receivership. As indicating the ap- 

 parently temporary purpose of the court 

 proceedings, the stated amount of the 

 indebtedness claimed by the several 

 creditors is confined to a single item, 

 other unnamed obligations being re- 

 ferred to in general terms. 



Some Creditors Named. 



All the creditors are not named. 

 Those officially appearing in the petition 

 as plaintiffs are the Baltimore Trust Co., 

 the National Exchange Bank and Biggs, 

 Bossman & Hunter, Inc., insurance brok- 

 ers. The petition in bankruptcy was 

 filed late in the afternoon of October 27. 

 The petition of the plaintiffs was accom- 

 panied by an answer filed for J. Bol- 

 g^ano & Son by their regular attorney. 



Half of the indebtedness is held by 

 Baltimore financial institutions and in- 

 dividuals, the other creditors not being 

 officially named. They are, however, 

 principally New York banks. The in- 

 debtedness to the trust company, which 

 is stated to be on a promissory note 

 given last August, amounts to only 

 $5,947; that of the National Exchange 

 Bank, also on a note discounted last 

 June, is $8,936, and the insurance firm 

 claims $2^139 as a sum due on unpaid 

 premiums. 



Assets and Liabilities. 



While no schedule of assets and lia- 

 bilities of the firm has been filed, it is 

 estimated that the total liabilities will 

 amount to upward of $900,000. About 

 fifty per cent of these debts are secured, 

 the remaining fifty per cent being 

 chiefly bank loans without security. 



The value of the assets will, of course, 

 depend upon the amount realized from 

 the immense stock of grain, seeds and 

 other merchandise on hand, in addition 

 to bills receivable. These commodities 

 at current prices, together with the 

 lands, machinery and buildings, are 

 given in the petition as $1,000,000. 

 Other assets, it is expected, will bring 

 the total to well over $1,200,000, thus 

 leaving an excess of assets over liabili- 

 ties of more than $300,000. The cred- 

 itors seem quite sanguine as to recover- 

 ing their money. 



Cause of Beceivershlp.

 Bolgiano & Son, the firm 's attorney said 

 that Mr. Bolgiano and a number of his
