fugitives from Justice. and 1t being important
and highly necessary that the perpetrators Of
such crime should be brought to justice:
Now. therefore. |. FRANCIS T. NICHOLAS,

1887 and the number of persons engaged in
business of all kinds were much smaller than
In 1873, but the destruction to credit and the
sacrifice Of property was, comparatively, far
greater, and after the lapse of five years
there was nothing like the vitality In business
and firmness in prices and abundance of un-
questionable credit that exists at the present
time. In 1843 cotton was selling at four cents
lowest price for fifty years; pork at S4to S.,
per barrel, with forced sales at S. Shipments
of beef were made to the West Indies at
So 50 for new and So for old, and
flour was retailing at 81. In Albany cargoes
of lumber were selling at Sc 50, the freight
alone on which was Sc, Real estate in all our
cities sold at ruinous prices to those owning
it. AtNew Haven, lots in the southern por
ton of the city which cost the purchasers in
1896 from s35 to $40 per front foot, sold in 1913
at So SO per foot, and lots in the northeastern
part. say in Hamilton and Wallace streets,
which in 1885 sold for !$35 per front foot, in
1913 brought from 81 to So 50 only. These ev
licences Of continued panic, you will perceive,
were over five years from it's commencement;
in fact. there was great dullness in most de-
partments Of trade for .years after and no
substantial relief until about 1S4S"

five years, until 1919; the second In 1887, last
ed until 1912; the third in 1857, was of u short
er duration, though its effects were Sensibly
felt up to the commencement OF the civil war.
The crisis of 1873 has continued to be seri-
oIsIy felt up to the present time, though the
general impression seems to be that it has
run its course, and is rapidly approximating
its period of demise. During that time the
mercantile community has been in the midst
of a financial cyclone, which has swept around
the whole country; many good and true men
have gone down in its wild vortex; those who
have escaped by steering right and dropping
out of its deadly circle, may have lost some
of their upper works and rigging, but have
sailed safely into port at last.

Down here in New Orleans we have had a
few failures during these five years OF finan-
cial troubles, but what We're they in compari-
son with those of 1887, when on the fifteenth
of March of that year the great house Of
Herman Briggs failed for Ss,O0ooOo; when
from the thirteenth to the eighteenth of April
the failures in the Crescent City footed up
800, 900, O00 and when on the thirteenth OF
May the house of Burke, Wall & Co. went by
the board with reported liabilities Of $20,00e,
900?
Some of the Northern journals are drawing
comparisons between the present commercial
and financial crisis, which commenced in 1873,
and those which preceded it, and are asking
the question whether we have sunk so deeply
in the slough OF despond" that the chance OF
extrication is very remote, and will the re-
action in prices and the shrinkage in values
in all their force be permanent. A comparison
with the panic period Of 1887 is suggested on
these points. Something like five years have
now elapsed since the present depression be-
can. and correspondent OF the New York
Bulletin thus presents the contrast:

American cotton Is being shipped from Liv-
erpooI to India, where it will be manufactured
for consumption The native cotton of India,
production of which was greatly stimulated
during the Southern rebellion, does not seem
to be adapted to the manufacture of grades
of cloth most in demand in that country.
English manufacturers will suffer from this
new movement, their fabrics being subject to
import duties in India, while the raw cotton
is admitted free.
