Financial Elm barrassments.
IN. Y. Herald 13th inst

The business failures that have recently o.
Cured have naturally given rise to an attem pt
to create a panic in commercial and financial
circles on the part OF those who are always on
the alert for an opportunity to depreciats values
and undermine confidence for the sake Of prof
ting by the excitement. There does not. how
ever, appear to be anything in their character
to, occasion any alarm. No substantial, well es.
tablished houses seem to be in any fiji
Guilty or danger. We are not now In such a
position as We occupied In 1878. the ten
dency for the past four or five years having
been toward contraction and economy. The
credit of the country will be. benefited In
the long run BY the exposure and explosion of
practices which have taken the appearance
Of legitimate business. but which are as nearly
allied to downright swindling MS anything can
well be. The more thoroughly unsound. in
dated concerns which court public confidence
under the guise of honest dealing can bs weed
cd out Of commercial community the less
danger there will be OF financial panics. Some
individuals may suffer in the process Of purin-
cation. but the victims will be mainly found
among those whose standing is not Of the safest
or the best. 1t is q healthy sign that in the
heavy stock sale made yesterday good prices
were realized for desirable securities. The fact
Is that we have got rid in measure of the evil
Of oyertrading and wild speculation. and the
shock of a few failures. however embarrassing
to some individuals and houses. is not likely to
be felt In a. serious manner throughout COM
mercial and financial circles.
