pay rolls about $4,000 men. The
Philadelphia correspondent for the
New York World says that this
number has been cut down until
it is we'll within 100000 He adds
that President Cassatt has issued
ain order laying off ut least 5000
more men and he quotes one of
the vice-presidents as saying; 1T
is the purpose of the Pennsylvania
railroad to reduce its working
force to keep pace with the reduc-
ton in the volume of freights
thruout the system. When the
scaling-down process will stop

hopeful. For the present, the sit
uation means that we must make
an additional reduction to the
force by at least 5000 employees.

The plan naively proposed to keep

the Canadian speculative fraternity
stands together far and away better
than their cousins in Wall street.
At any rate the patience of the
banks, the extreme caution with which
the great money centers have handled
the entire matter, and the spirit Of
friendly interest in which actual w
competitive banking houses have as
sisted the unfortunate house are much
commented upon in Wall street-and
