The depression in commercial circles continues

| thirty and sixty days and three months credits

debtedness Ia In this way Incurred; But in view
| Of tbe sudden unsettIement Of values creditors
show az accommodating .plrt, and many failures
will thus be delaye1 or arrested. Those, however,
! who are rash enough 10 assert that commercial
sstcr Is atprcsent are either w1lfniy bind OF viii
fu;ly la1se. We have only to LOOK 1t the lasfdis-
count return OF one Of ,hc banks In this city-the

any great business be done until still lower prices
