There was q panic on Wall street last
Monday. Everything went down but
money, and that went up from 6 to 1856 per
cent. When money was at the highest and
stocks at the lowest, the agents Of J. P.
Morgan and Frederick p. Olcott partially
relieved the panic and averted q disaster
by offering 81, zoo. 900 each at 6 per cent.
Then the clearinghouse banks came for
ward with $40, 0O0, 900, which were eagerly
taken at so per cent. Many stocks recov.
cred at the close Of the day and the clear
ing-house banks promise to relieve the
situation and prevent further disaster.
Two failures were announced. The Pro-
duce Exchange Trust Company closed its
doors, and Henry Allen & Co., bankers
and brokers, suspended payment. There
Is great depression in the London stock
market, where there was one failure Mon
day. Many more are expected at the last
accounting day of the year.
Tuesday the clearing house banks came
forward with $40. 600, 900 more and the
Secretary Of the Treasury increased de-
posts in depository banks, making $1,000,
900 more available. and the rate Of interest
for that day went from % per cent down to
two per cen late in the afternoon. As
money became cheaper, stocks partially
recovered, and there was a scramble to
regain the losses of the day before.
The panic is thought to have been due to
the over capitalization Of industrial trusts,
so many Of which have been organized in
the past year. The increased call for our
surplus gold, caused by England's calami.
ties, brought matters to q climax.

BOER FORCE IS -MASSED
ON THE TUGELA RIVER.
An Army Of About Fifteen Thousand Will Meet
the British Relieving Force There.

ship Of the Most Rigorous Character Now Enforced
and Little Comes Through.

AIN London says:
~ 1t is now certain that the
Beers are In great force on
the farther side OF the Tugela river The
Boer army which invaded Natal was put
by good judges at 5000 to $4,000 men. If
we accept the latter figure and deduct
1000 for losses which may have been made
good by disloyal Dutch recruits from Ma
tai and another 10000 for the remaining
force at Ladysmith, the total Of the army
confronting Gen. Butler may be from 1900
to 10000 men.
Comparison Of Artillery.
As for its artillery at Farauhar's farm,
according to the accounts In Natal papers,
the Boer guns overpowered the British,
who had thirty-six field guns But now
this artillery will be divided, and there are
not likely to be more than thirty or forty
Boer guns. II SO many, on the Tugela.
Against this Gen. Butler has forty-two
guns, besides naval weapons He should,
then, have distinct, though by no means
large, prsponderance.
In the meantime some news has como
through from Ladysmith. showing that
while on the one hand the Beers lombard
ment was becoming severe, on the other
one OF the navy guns had once more ST.

Beers been allowed to make longer stay.
More Cavalry Leaves.
The two remaining squadrons OF house,
hold cavalry left London yesterday for the
front. This is the first occasion since the
Egyptian war that the Life guards have
taken the field. They should prove a very
valuable reinforcement. as the British are
still weak in cavalry.
