RELUCTANT DEP0SIToRS.

receiver for that institution 1t seems TO be
believed that this concession by Justice Clarke

portion of the depositors who have not yer

in the case of the panicstricIen. We have no
douht that there are few estimable persons
who were so terrified by the closing of the trust

storm that they are still afraid TO do anything

The traffic on the Rhine passing Emmerich, On

TO $500 500 tons. and in 1908 to lf235soo IONS
From 1875 TO 1896 the railroad tonnage of the
amnire increased considerably less and the canal
and river tonnage very much more than 100
per cent. Nor is the waterway increase to be
wondered at Canalboats cost to construct,
proportionately TO their tonnage capacity, only
ope-fiffh as much as railroad cars, and they re
uuire only one-fifth as much power TO proper
them. Because of such facts the German river
and canal feet increased from 1,6oS266 tons IN
1882 TO 4.s73.5O2 tons in 1902. 1t may be ex-
pected to increase, with the wise extension OF
the canal and navigable river system, ana WIN
