The failure of Louis -and Mier , a mercantile house , has been announced ,
withrliabilities for 60 , 000 / ., " and assets which may yield 7 s . 61 . in the pound . The winding-up of the estate of Ruffbrds * Wragge , the bankers of Stourbridge and Bromsgrove , who failed in 1851 , has been completed , and -the result is that the debts proved have amounted to 898 , 9 # 8 J ., while the assets realized have been 68 , 347 / ., out ; of * whichj 17 , 412 & have gone for expenses . The Nottingham advices describe no alteration ; the market is quiet * but : healthy , " and employment is general . In the ; vropHen districts there is a tendency to dulness , and the ' manufacturers are disposed to lessen their amount of production .
