The 81 s~pension Of the Mechanics and
Traders Bank yesterday gave rise to consid-
cradle excitement for a short time after it
was made known, and caused some few per-
sons to draw their balancesf from two or three
other banks, which at one time produced the
impression that there would be a general run
on our banking institutions. But this feeling
of apprehension was soon quoted down, and
no financial disturbance ensued. The fact is
the Mechanics and Traders Bank has been
very weak for some time past, its stock
having been quoted at the Exchange
at 81 on a par value or S25.
1t has suffered, like the Southern Bank, from
the depreciation of public securities, of which
Its capital was principally composed, and its
suspension was not altogether unlocked for.
AS far as we can learn from diligent inquiry
and a searching scrutiny Of their published
official statements, our banks are operating
on a staunch, solid and secure basis, and we
firmly believe that there are no grounds for
experimenting further disasters in this line.
The New York Times of Saturday gives
some astounding statistics to show the enor-
nous capacities of the population OF that
city for drink. 1t says that perhaps no bet
ter notion OF the interest which the walking
contest developed, as represented by the
attendance at Gilmore's Garden, can be
gained than by a transcript of a tally kept at

auenching the thirst. The lucky proprietor

In a paper recently read before the London
Statistical Society by Mr.. Gitfen, the fall in
prices which has been so remarkable during
the last four or five years was treated with
the intelligence that comes of accurate inves-
tigation. Coal has fallen in London from 30s
to 19s per ton since 1873, or 81 per cent, while
prime beef has fallen from 81 81 to ~ Cd per
stone, or only 10 per cent. Mr.. Gifen thought
the general fall in prices from 1878 TO 1879 was
al per cent, and 1t was stated in the course of
discussion that the decline In English exports
from 1873 to 1873 was AZ per cent-1O per cent
due to a falling of in quantities and 80 per
cent to the fall in prices.
