CHICAGO The failure of the grain
and stock brokerage firm of Knight,
Donnelly & Co., which occurred sev
eral days ago, has assumed gigantic
proportions.
Although Receiver Potter has not
yet finished examination of tho books
of tho concern, enough was learned
today to approximate tho liabilities.
Thoy will aggregate not far from threo
million dollars. Tho assets may sum
up two nnd a half million dollars, al--though
these may dwindle consider
ably owing to tho character of many
of tho loans made by the firm.
Tho assets are mado up largely of
stocks, many of them not listed. Somo
nre securities In promoting schemes
such as gas companies In small towns
which tho firm undertook to float. Con
siderable of tho liabilities are notes
on hand, for money borrowed from
friends nnd business associates. These
notes on hand may aggregate one-half
million dollars.
The magnitude of tho failure was
discovered at a meeting of tho bank's
creditors today. Upon comparison of
tho bank accounts the total was found
to far exceed all previous estimates.
Tho failure was precipitated by specu
