replied "No. I am here merely for recre.
alton. My presence herehas very little, in
deed, to do with business of any kind"
Corr.-You, perhaps, saw dispatch from
San francisco setting forth that some of the
employees of your house had been dismissed?

those given for reducing your clerical force
there?
Flood-A general falling off in business

to great extent due to the adoption of the
new Constitution, has it not?

adoption of the new Constitution many cap.

tumble, and concluded not to invest until
they saw how low stocks would fall.
Corr suppose this class is still waiting.
What do you think will be- the ultimate re-
suit of the adoption of the new Constitution!
Flood-That am not prepared to say. 1t

and generally right those matters and make
laws and customs adapt themselves to Their
wishes.
