had passed. without sign Of Disturbance, the
| country lost its head, so to speak. In nearly
every branch of trade or industry preparations
| were made for still larger business larger
consumption was expected, and larger produce
ton undertaken; larger dealings and profits
were counted upon and larger risks were
assumed. We acted as il there never could be a
| short crop, or q loss of confidence in American
securities, or decrease in railroad building, or
a pause in the increase of consumption at
home. or decline in the foreign demand for
our products. But the crops did fail. Con-
sumption was checked, because farmers felt
pcor and had been supplying themselves free
ly. Confidence in our securities did break
down, first because the assassination suggested
possibilities never realized, and afterward be-
cause the war Of rates and other forms of mis-
management depressed values wantonly. A
check to railroad building did come, partly be-
cause it was felt that the new roads would
prove hurtful to the old, and partly because the
available capital of the country was exhausted.
This tremendous change in the conditions OF
business, coming upon the country when it was
10 snch a state, did not cause panic. Tue
burden of commercial indebtedness was rela-
lively small. Most dealers and producers were
fortified by large profits realized during two
years of prosperity. Instead it produced
steady wasting away of profits. May men
wisely shortened sail, and they are ready now
to expand with safety as the legitimate bust
ness of the country enlarees. Many others,
hoping too much or unwilling to take losses,
pressed on as if each month of depression was
certain to be the last and most of them have
come 10 grief. Because of preparations Tar ex-
ceeding natural needs, traders have been dis
appointed Manufacturers counted upon an
increased consumption, aud the shrinkage In
demand left the markets overstocked. Because
goods of almost every kind were offered in ex-
cess of the immediate demand, steadily falling
prices followed, and very large volume of
business has been done at small profit or at ac-
tual loss.
Understanding this, we may see that panic
is not probable. The country has been hquida
ting for two years. There hare been many
failures, and may be m IRE, but the general bust
ness OF the country is on a substantial basis.
With reasonable caution aud freedom from
speculative Initiation, Improvement in legiti-
mate business may be expected. The specula-
tive interests will have to wait. The markets for
staples cannot safely be disturbed by cOmbi-
nations and corners this year. The holders of
securities must give the country time to grow
little, before they expect very high prices. But
business will begin to improve before long, if the
gambling spirit does not make mischief again.

There is some languidly exciting news from
Central America. There has been revolution.
But it was not up even to the mild average OF
Central and South American revolutions. 1t
does not appear from the dispatches that many
lives were lost, but the cheerful assurance is
given that sthe political horizon is now
brighter" IL the political horizon down there
was a trifie less subject to changes on the
slightest provocaIion politics would be easier to
follow and government proportionately more
stable.

Very. Fresh.


Wednesday morning, while the Municipal
Court was in session, young well dressed man
walked into the court room and opening the
door of the prisoners d OK, stepped inside and
sat quietly down. Noticing him sitting there,
Judge Gould asked Marshal Andrews who he
was. The marshal didn't know and asked
deputy Crowell. Deputy Crowell went up to
him aud asked him what he wanted there.
The strange young man gave his name, said
he had been very drunk the day before and
supposed that he was obliged to come to the
court and give himself up for sentence; he
had been told that was the place to come. He
had been in this country but few months and
was not familiar with the laws here, but if he
had made mistake he was sorry. Deputy
Crowell told him be might go and the young
man srose and went out, bowling profoundly TO
the court IS he backed out through the door.

CAPITAL is VIGOROUSLY timid. Investors of
to-day are not SO anxious for high rates as for
ample security. 1t is to convince investors of
the undoGbted solidity of the 5 per cent bonds
of the Vermont & Massachusetts, Railroad
Company that the Maverick Bank of Boston
has taken SO much pains to set forth in neat
pamphlet the condition of the road, the terms
of its lease to the Fitchburg Railroad, which
guarantees these bonds, principal and interest,
and the condition of the latter road. Ver-
mont & Massachusetts Railroad stock sold the
other day at 1889; Fitchburg stock sold at 1877.
With stock at these prices at time when all
stocks are believed to be near bedrock, is it
too much to urge the absolute security of the
V. & Ms per cent bonds? It would seem
not. And for these reasons these bonds APP
pear to be available not only for individuals,
but also for savings banks, institutions,
trustees; in fact, for any one desiring first
class investment.-Con Commercial Bulletin
