Seconcl Firm To Co Into Liquidation

(Culzdhn Press)

MONTREAL. Que, Oct. lit-Fail- ure of J. Pitbladc and Company. 460 St. John Street, members of the Montreal stock Exchange and the Montreal Curb Market. was an- nounced in the local street today. Formal announcement by the Ex- chmsc wu delayed because of tech- nicalities at the Court House. The firm was placed in voluntary liquid- ation when a. receiving order was ls- sued today in bankruptcy court. c. W. Scott and W. I... Gatehouse of P. S. Ross and sons. chartered u- ceuntants, were named guardians. No announcement was rnsdc as to tho uncovered liabilities.

The news came as s. surprise to a largo part of the local financial interests. although the firm has riot had its representatives on the floor of the Exchange since last Saturday. The firm was organized in 1902. when c. seat of the Montreal Stock Exchange was purchased; another being procured in 1921. Its floor members are J. Pitblado and W. E. Morgan and the curb seats were held ln the same names.

The failure announced today was the second Montreal Stock EX- chsnge firm to go into liquidation within a. yiear, the firm of ‘Iruax- Catsley and Company, having met financial difficulties loss than a yesr ago. In the Pitblldo case. it ivas generally agreed on the street that. the public holding would not be large. It was also learned that the banks interested would not liquidate the securities of the com- pany at present. but were prcplrvd to hold them until conditions were more acceptable on the open mar- kct.

There has been some uncertainty whether Australian butter comes un- i dcr new as British rrefcrence duty: owing to the treaty with that Com-I’ mmwealth.
