to produce reaction, and the tendency of the

business transacted in the way of factors indorse

This view of the case seems to have commended

The London Daily News says:
1t is useless to disguise the fact that the financial
position of the country is becoming every day
more critical. For nearly three months the bank
rate has been maintained at 10 n cent. It is for

was generally sound, and when the realization of
large profits from the revival of commerce with
America afforded exceptional resources to meet
the disaster. But IL is impossible not to see that
the limit Is nearly, if not altogether reached. No
trade IN the world can Withstand the continued
lapse OF credit, and the trade of England less
than any. For q time the burden may be borne,
