The wreck list Of 1881 is very bad

for this or any other country. During

81 400, 900 600 WAS destroyed. Of the latter
about 5000, 900 ,0C0 was owned in Great

900, 900 in the United States. II is diff

were struck on the chipping registers Of

Truly the ocean is great absorbcr, and it
swallows up an ironclad or q one mastcd

Gone Down.

Boston, 16.-The banking house OF
Chss. a. Sweet & Co. suspended this
morning, causing considerable excite
ment in financial circles. The house has
been advancing money, it is stated, to
The Massachusetts, Central Railroad
taking bonds ard placing them in the
market. The road is q new one, and its
bonds have shrunk in value, and banks
which have been carrying the bonds
called on Sweet f.,r additional funds. To
this cal the firm has been unable to re-
spond.
1t is stated that G. A. sweet & Co.
borrowed about $1,000, 900 from Boston
banks on collateral recently. and that
they hold 100000 Ma eachusetts Cen
trail bonds. A member of the firm stated
that they hoped to pay in full. The liza
bilities amount to about SO, 100000. The
firm will probably resume, but will
liquidste, paying dollar for dollar.
The firm subscribed to only 5000
Massachusetts, Central bonds at the
start, but they since loaned large sums
upon them, and hsve of late been buy
ing heavily TO sustain the market. The
rumored collapse OF the Cannel:on VAL
ley securities hastened the disaster.
