STATE OF SOUTH STAitiORDSRIBE.

In conPeqnerice of the stoppage of the Wolverhamp-
ton and Stntford 'hire Bank, :several of the shopkeepers
and small inanufacturerP, who had deposits or balances
in the concern heretofore Avai'able for carrying on their
businesF, have Seen compelled to close their doors, and
a great many more are making arrangements to take
the benefit of the Insolvent Act. In a week or two it is
expected that great distress will prevail in the town in
consequence of the number of hands that will bo thrown
out of employment. In this district there are at least
two dt,z.in furnaces blown out, and this number will
be doubled before the week is over.
Thy f,liooing iron and coal masters are gradually
nancing their establishmocts :
