Consul at Quebec says $5500,O 900 capital
have been wholly wiped out by the failure
OF the Consolidated Exchange and Vile
Marie banks, besides the loss to depositors
and the bill holders of about half a mil

past winter there was scarcely any employ
ment, and it is estimated that there are
not less than seven thousand workingmen
at present out of employment in Quebec
and suburbs. The controversies about
the distribution of the small amount of
work to be done, eliminated in the riot of
