MONEY AND BusIsEss-Thc present week has
been one of the most severe, financially speaking,
that our citizens have witnessed. Under the
excessive weight of the burden inflicted by the
stringency of the money market, few failures
have occurred, which, however, have not tended
to destroy confidence in the ability of our mer
chants to withstand the fury of the storm 1t would
be surprising, indeed, if there were not some fail
ures in crisis like the present. but il is gratifying
in the extreme to be able to state that our business
men, in almost every branch of trade, arc in con-
dition TO buffet fortune successfully.
