perfectly willing to settle up their com.

peace or revelry afterward. Under the In

downward. Revivifying news from abroad
that at other times would have stirred the
trade to action fell on deafened ears and
in the light of prevailing conditions the
law Of cause and effect in its usual ap.

slackened and the interior town receipts
only buoyed the bull. The facts counted
for naught. however. and the contract
