themselves from runous losses If this should occur,
it will create a heavy demand upon our banks for
money to forward shipments; and for this move
ment the banks appear to be fortifying themselves,
by limiting their operations to call loans and thus
Keeping their means well in hand for all emer-
genCes

and at sag per cent. ON mixed securities Discounts
are heavy and rates rule irregular though rst-class
mercantile bills are in good demand on the street at
