 'Such is the scarcity of money or such is the for- midabe barrier of dstrust, that even opuent manu- lecturers have been during the last three weeks strained to sell portion of their stock to provide the of paying wages and current retail expen ses. It is not the needy alone who seek capitalists in their exigences, but persons of stand ing and well ascertained property go to them for im- mediate relief.
