out he had not been long there before a Mr.
Deaoh, man dong business in Wall street,

known by number of bankers and bushes :

New York, with all its warIike fnrv and

arrested. Heavy failures among merchants
are OF daily occurrence. Within week some
twelve or fifteen have failed. These include
the reported failure OF two large Republican
houses, viz. Holmes, Bowen & Co and Claf-
lin, Melien &.Co. Several grocery and other
houses have also stopped. This is only the
beginning OF what Is TO come if this civil war
goes on. Although the deposits IN bank are
large, such is the want of confidence that com
