PANIC OR NO PANIC.

Despite the favorable signs that
general business may be expected to
improve and that the worst of the
financial stringency may be over, it is
evident that this city is trembling upon
the verge of thoroughly causeless and
senseless panic.
The suspension of the State bank yes
terday caused very great apprehension,
not that other banks will close their
doors, bat that the public will persist
in Misunderstanding the causes OF the
suspension and its real significance,
and will begin to manifest great eI
distrust.
Nothing is more certain than that
the Providence banks are prepared to
meet all demands that can be made
upon them, unless il be the thorough
foolishness Of those depositors who may
withdraw their funds. The bank vault,
of this city are stuffed with currency
to meet auy demands that may bc
made.
