last day two however the excitement has somewhat
subsidized, and the week closes with decidedly more
cheerful feeling although the aspect Of monetary affairs
is still gloomy Money very tight not because the
ply is not abundant but because confidence that most
essential element in all business operations is in great
degree destroyed but the market unsettled and m
