}. Sawtelle OF Boston in The Morton
yesterday. Not since 1873 have seen
business in general so bad No matter
where you 20 there is the same com
plant. The travelling men on the road
declare that il il next 10 impossible to
sell goods. Everywhere the merchants
are protesting that they cannot make
sales or collect their outstanding ac-
counts. The number Of hank failures
il really startling. This mornings
papers devoted almost page to the
banks that were carried down by the
failure Of the Columbia. No sane man
can deny that the country il rapidly ap-
preaching financial crisis that cannot
be- averted except by heroic efforts. l
haven't the least idea what caused il or
what would remedy il, but am conf
dent that it is coming"
