mercial Bank of Newfoundland, hav-

pended payment this morning, owing
to the failure of several of the largest
fish exporting houses to respond to
their liabilities to the bank. This has
involved other banks and has Grip
pied some of the largest concerns
here. Four Of them have closed their
premises and others will close to-
morrow.
The small depositors are demanding
gold from the Union and Savings

steadily drained. If they are able to
meet the run everything is SAFE But
the chief danger is the difficulty of
getting more gold into the country.
At present the people are very peace

gravity of the situation. Business men
of all classes are trying to effect an
arrangement with London bankers or
with Canadian concerns, which will
be urged to extend business to this
center.
