 The World is trying to keep track of the results of the financial panic. In a recent article it estimates the losses to banks and trust companies in the late ments of capital due to speculation to have exceeded $25,O0O,OOO; the individual losses sustained by c. T. Barney, c. w. Morse, the Heinzes, Thomas, Mcintyre and Coster approximate S50c00,00O; the general loss by customers of the brokers is estimated at $25 OO0, ,0O0-making a vast total of s1OO,o00, GOO swept away in the vor- tex of stock gambling in one brief period of seven months.
 The following suicides, the World says, were due to the panic or the evils of stock gambling:
