and there appear to be no weak spots
discernible amongst the dry goods, hard

most OF them now have no difficulty in
obtaining all the Accommodations they
need at the banks. Wall street has had
its panic and its worse features have
gone by. Values have been marked
down to the extent of at least s300,000,-
900 without causing any serious failures,
thus showing the soundness of the bank
ing and brokerage business in New York
and elsewhere. In taking a full view of
the present situation we do not hesitate
to say that the worst is over and that
recuperation will now and a
general building up process is in order
rather than any more pulling down such
as experienced during the past week"
