THE BUSINESS OCTLooK.-The know
ing-ones are beginning to predict another
financial panic, as these happen about once
in ten years, and it has been nearly ten
years since Jay Cooks failure which started
the ball in 1878. These croaking ravens
say the panic will come when gold ceases
to flow into this country from Europe, and
this must happen soon, as the wheat crop
in Europe is good, and the expectation OF
bread stuffs from this country must cease,
both on account of good crop in Europe
and short crop here. A speculative
spirit here will also tend to hasten another
panic. The Philadelphia Ledger says
there will be no panic on account of the
crops, and that if a panic does come twill
be on account of a gambling speculation
in stocks,
