probably, reach 81, 100000 The houses all
claim to have assets ample to discharge
their Indebtedness If realized"
The american says: "The amount OF
liabilities is estimated at nearly S3,0O0,OOO
but it is impossible to speak with certainty
Of this or Of the ultimate result Of the dis

that a ajority, if not all, of these houses
will speedily resume business"

the failures above noticed has befallen
Baltimore for a long series of years, and
the day deserves to be ranked in the his
tory Of commercial events here with the
famous Black Friday in New York"
