THAYER & Co.
Toronto
Failure of Thayer & Co –One of the principal topics of conversation amongst the trade at present is the failure of Thayer & Co ., the well known wholesale jewelers of this city, who assigned to Sherman E. Townsend on the 17th of last month. The cause of Thayer & Co.'s failure seems to have been a too reckless dispensing of credit ; this added to the shrinkage of trade owing to the exceptionally dull winter through which we have just passed, caused the bank with which they did business to shut down on them, after which there was nothing left for them but to assign. The liabilities are $38,590, made up as follows Merchandise indebtedness, $14.500, preferred claims, $6,090, and Bank of Commerce, $18,000. The assets amount to $20,000, and consist of stock. $19,000, and book accounts, $1,000. A meeting of the creditors has been called by the Assignee, when they will decide how the estate shall be disposed of. It is probable that Mr. Thayer will make an offer of settlement, if not the stock will in all likelihood be sold to the highest bidder. When the failure was first announced, it was expected by some that the forced settlement of the discounted notes held by the bank, would create a considerable inconvenience to the trade, but this has happily been in a great measure averted by the bank's consenting to give the makers ample time to liquidate them. As Thayer & Co.. although not considered very strong financially, were thought to be doing a good business and making some money, their assignment has been considerable of a surprise to the trade generally.

104, Barton Street, Hamilton, Ontario
Toronto, Can., July 28.–At about 9 p. M. on July 26, the jewelry store of William Cox, 104 Barton St., Hamilton, Ont., was entered by two young men, who asked to look at some watches. Mr. Cox placed a number of watches on the show case for their inspection, when they suddenly rushed behind the counter and knocked him down, rendering him unconscious. He was then bound and gagged and the robbers secured watches and rings valued at $600 and made their escape.
Mr. Cox on recovering consciousness was able to roll to the front door and kick until he attracted the attention of passers-by.
The police were at once notified and arrested Edward O'Connor on suspicion of being one of the robbers.
