Rumours are still rife of commercial diffi-
culties, and it is much to bo regretted that
such reports are too eagerly caught up. We
regret to learn from Liverpool that the house of
Campbell, Amotti, and Co. have been compelled to
suspend, owing to failure of expected remittances
and the absorption of capital abroad. Local distrust
having been created by unkind false rumours in
June last, remittances were cut off. The firm hope
to pay in full all demands upon them.
