A $40,000 FAILUTE, Dry-goods circles were somewhat surprised yesterday to learn, Arstly, that tho ruching und fancy-goods manufnoturing frm of H. 1. Per vora & Cs. had failed, and, secondly, that tho amountof the Indebtedness waa placed nt tho vory respectable figure for so smull a hottse of 40,000, The manufactory of the frm, whieh consists solely of Mr. 1. L. Pervero, is situated on Fifth avenue, and the store fs on tho second tloor of No, 207 Monroe street, On the street a TrinwNe reporter fearned that Mr. Pervere, who Is a young man on tho sunny side of 8, caine hero froin Boston in June, 1877, and commenced to do business in tho dry-goods commission tine, Ho wis then known to possess About $1,600 cupital, and to be a ‘sober and com: petent yotng man, with a pecking from hia father, a retired sea-Captatn, In 1874 ho clulmed to bas iL capital of $8,500, of which $1,000 wis furniat by his fathor, and waa supposed to be doing very well, be then d pie his full atton- tlon te tho mnnufacturing business, which bo was, up fo Saturday, enguyed Ona polnt in connection with tho failure which: other. dry-; houses “did not under stand, and upon which tho firm declined to upp any information, was how {t came that Withtin F. Tucker, Jr, was 0 creditor to the ex- tent of $10,000, it secming that, Mr. Tucker not being now tn the dry-goois business, tho indebt> edness could hurdly represent the result of or- dinury business trinsactions. Anothor thing which wag deemed quite a puzzle was the tden- tity of 1 pervon named Isaac Crosby, who held tho judgment note of the firm for 86,00. The Cashior of tha First National Bank, which waa party to tho proceodings uguinat. Mr. Porvore, was of tho opinion that Mr. Crosby was ono at that gentleman's Enstern creditors who, how- eyor, bad, aluco Saturday, whon tho fieemenk note wis fled, gone Enat again, but Mr, Per- vere, ag will bo deen further on, held quite a diferent upinion, Theso matters, throwing n yellof mystery nround tho failure, gave it an Interest goldom acerulng to bualness suapen- sion Involying a compuratively small amount of money.
