In his petition, presented (yester- day, Receiver.McKittrick states` that `in his opinion more ,c,an be,prealiz'ed ' from the sale--of the property now than later, as much bf the stok con-I sists of -holiday goods. He -0 states that the firm has-`been losing` money for two years past at the rate of $125, 000 to $150,000 axyear, The total as- sets` are given as $759,131.02; total ;11abi1ijti,es,,;g6.121.99.- 1;n_ this state- ment arenoluded the vleaseholds on- five buildings, including the (store. made)-pin 1898. for _;'a:(perio"d' of fif-- `teen years`; a *.wareho'u:se; ihorseis.-_a:nd' wagons arid the good.wj~ll of the firin.

The trouble to my mind is that people ex- peot too `much and then abuse a man because he has not done the impos- sible. !When asked "whether there was a likelihood of some out-of-tiqwn firm buying the stock for the purpose of `continuing the business,` Judge Priest -said: he was not -fully informed on [that point, although he heard that Chicago and_ New York firms were said to't`:ontemplate such-_a move.

" When I came here I found the House much cleaner than I had ex- pected -and Mr. Ross (:1 hard-work- ing and intelligent manager. There is not a man on earth who would sa-n tisfy `some people and the people of this County will` go a {long way be- fore they find a \man who can do as well as he can `under the circum- stances. Some of these busy-bodies should try their hand at running such a (house as this for awhile and they would th-en know something of the trials and difficulties Mr. Ross has had to contend with.
