weekly review: Starting with the larg-
est trade ever known, mills crowded
with work and all business stimulated
by high hopes, the year 1898 has proved,
in sudden shrinkage of trade. i'll com
mercial disasters and depression of in
dustries, the worst for fifty years.
Whether the final results of the panic of
1887 were relatively more severe, the
scanty records of that time do not clearly
show. The year closes with prices of
many products the lowest ever known,
with millions OF workers seeking in vain
for work, and with charity laboring to
keep back suffering and starvation in all
our cities. All hope the New Year may
bring brighter days, but the dying year
leaves only dismal record.
The review of different departments
of trade given today exhibits collapse
of industry and business which is almost
without precedent.
