BUSINESS NOTES.

ATLANTA, GA.-Lewis Brothers, booksellers, have sold out.

BROOKLYN, N. Y.- The Swayne family, to "keep up the motion," are again in trouble. It will be remembered that when George J. Swayne - failed his stock and fixtures were covered by a bill of sale under which they had been sold to a re

lation in Albany, who transferred to Mr. Geo. J. Swayne's mother, the present nominal head of 'Swayne's Bookstore." Mrs. E. M. Swayne invited her creditors to meet her attorney, Mr. G. V. Brower, at 44 Court St., Brooklyn, who presented a statement showing liabilities of $7971.69, of which $4025 was due to the youngest son of Mrs. Swayne, and assets of $3430.75, consisting of stock at cost, $2530.75: book accounts, $500; fixtures, $300, and cash, $100. It was offered to settle with the creditors at 33% cents on the dollar in endorsed notes at four, eight, and twelve months. Another meeting is to be held. settlement of the first indebtedness has yet been made, so far as we are aware, and yet some of the houses who figured as creditors in the Geo. J. Swayne failure are represented also on the list of his successor, and that, too, notwithstanding the fact that the management of the business remained practically unchanged.

No

NASHVILLE, TENN.-G. N. Tillman, assignee of A. Setliff, calls a meeting of the creditors for February 27. Mr. Setliff writes us in answer to the charges made from several quarters that he bought "rather heavily during the fall and not long before the announcement of failure": "I will say this, that I have always been compelled to buy with the view of having the longest possible time, hence my purchases were as close to the season as possible, so that I might pay the bills from sales of the goods. This is why I bought late in the season, as I always do, excepting only where goods were delivered in advance and bills dated January 1 to 15. The other point, that I bought rather heavily, is correct. I did buy heavier than usual. However, it was not altogether intentional. I accept all the fault, although some little fault lies on the other side. Misled by the cry here of 'boom,' big trade this fall,' having it confirmed by drummers, I allowed myself to become over-sanguine, thinking to take the tide at the flood, and if trade was not quite so good I would borrow to make up the

NEW YORK CITY.-At a meeting of the crediresolution was adopted empowering the assignee tors of Daniel Slote & Co., on January 24, a "to take the business, manufacture such goods as are in progress of manufacture, or as are needed to fulfil the contracts, employ the requisite help trade terms, and to report his action in this reto carry out such purpose, selling on the usual spect to the committee at the next meeting of the creditors," which is to be "subject to the call of the chair and the committee." The prospects are that a fair settlement will be made. NEW YORK CITY.-John Wiley & Sons have removed from Astor Place to 53 East 10th St.

TOLEDO, O.--Nicholas & Buchanan have succeeded to the stationery and book business of E. P. Leland. Fred C. Nicholas was fourteen years with Brown, Eager & Hull, of this city, and Robert Buchanan was for a number of years with Robert Clarke & Co., of Cincinnati. The stand

which they occupy has been a book and stationery store for over thirty years, and is one of the oldest stationery establishments in northwestern Ohio. The members of the firm are wide-awake, enterprising young men, have a beautiful store, and carry a fine line of society stationery. We wish them success in their new enterprise.
