Archerd Implement company, H. O. White, a shrink age of $55,504.44 Is anticipated on book assets ot $129,395.31. The deficit between the book assets and the liabilities Is $7- 832.3; but since the book assets are subject to such shrinkage the total deficiency Is reported at $77,672.12. The net free assets for unsecured creditors with claims of $31,544.77 are only $4,262.02 after the estimated shrinkage is deducted. There Is the possibility that many of the secured creditors will find their security inade quate and will come back as gen eral claimants for the deficiency. A large liability Is the item for shortage of grain and seed. This Is estimated at $19,420.56 after realization from the surety com panies on bonds . ef the ware house. The holders of warehouse receipts win be general claimants also for the portion not covered by the surety company protec tion. The statement which was pre pared by Lester Barr.. accountant for the receiver, follows.
