The recent suspensions In New York do not ADJ
pear to affect any Of our local houses. The New
York press continues Its marvellous gossip about
assets liabilities and securities Of letters Of credit
to travellers, actors and ethers, but great reIfI
ance should be placed upon any premature state
ments. 1t Is pretty safe to assume that the fall

would have been maintained, especially at 9 time
when money is as plenty and cheap as at present.
There was no panic or feeling Of general distruse
to precipitate these failures. Consequently they
may be assumed to have been caused by the In
herent weakness Of the firms which have gone
under. They were too much extended for their
means, and had doubtless met with large loss In
some Of their speculations.
