FRIDAY, Oct. 31-6 P. M.
The trade movement was still slow and the mer-
chandise markets generally dull and irregular.
The frequent failures OF prominent firms in mer-
camille circles exert very unfavorable tendency,
and occasion grave apprehensions in the public
mind The TACT is being demonstra ted that the re-
turn OF confidence based upon better state OF
afYairs, which has been SO frequently proclaimed,
had no substantial basis and the evidences have
unfortunately taken such shape that there is no
misapprehending them. The large failures which
have occurred during the past few days have occa-
stoned more general alarm among the mercantile
public than was occasoned by the panic OF Wall
street. Still it Is to be hoped that business men
generally will be enabled to "tlde IL over,n and
that no more important failures Will occur. on
