solvent. A number of the less prominent have
sunk their entire capital, but the failure Of
every one of these would neither cause panic
nor seriously interrupt the general progress OF

will pay their losses promptly, and some have
already begun to liquidate their obligations.
The Spectator estimates the actual losses OF
