COMMERCIAL SUMMARY
The increased competition for money and its con
segucnt dcarncss has seriously aggray atrd the diff
cultics of many London and Irish houses engaged in
the corn trade whose liabilities to American and
other creditors have greatly exceeded the reduced
value of their importatons or in other cases the
ability of their responsible cmpovcrs to bear the loss
cntaiicd by the fail in prices OF these the most
| prominent is that of the firm of which Mr. W. r.
robinson the late Governor of the Bank of England
is the senior partner although subsequent inycsya-
ton shows that the firm can nav their creditors in
full vel the hgh pusion of Mir Robinson materially
enhanced the general uncasincss of the money mar
ket Messrs Icslics Alexander and Co. it now ap-
nrars will NOT he able 10 nav more than ms in the
pound and the effects OF the fall in price have been
most disastrous to many firms in London Liverpool
| and Ireland.
Amongst the failures to be enumerated are Mcssrs
