A REVIEW of the working of the
financial world during the past year,
as made by a prominent New York
banking house in letter to its Gus.
toners, is very intpSestins, in chow
ing their reasons for the causes which
led to the stock flurries Of the year.
With the resumption of specie pay.
ments there set IN recovery in
values which reached its highest,
and an unnatural, point last year.
While these high values were pre-.
vailing there were issued heavy lots
of new stocks and bonds, some based
upon actual wants, but more upon
future possibilities. The heavy fall
in stock values which has carried
down so many spectators and private
investors, is but the reaction certain
to come from such an III natural state
of affairs. The supplies Of merchan.
disc have generally gained largely
upon the demand. In many branches
of manufacture there has been over.
production, and these industries are
seriously weakened. The general fall
In prices has of course been OF some
benefit to the accommodating
portions of the country, but 1t is
doubtful If these benefits are sufficient
to balance the disastrous effects in the
trade and manufacturing centers.
