CHICAGO, Jan 16. The snow blockade in
the northwest, the failures al the east and the
general dullness of business at this season of
the year, all com bined to make financial
circles quiet and conservative to-day. The
wisest heads are rejecting, but not shaky.
There is a decided halt of the confident feel
ing, but nothing like gloom or despair. The
Cisco failure was foreshadowed in banking
circles week ago, but in reality is some
what worse than anticipation, and it is un-
doubted that the effect will be to make capi-
talists and bankers q little more cautious
than before. New York exchange was
quoted at par, with good outside demand
Orders for currency shipments were good
and receipts medium. Sterling exchange
was stronger, at S4.s2@4.s6I Bank clear
