Survey Of The Year.

The year 1907 was one of an almost
continuous decline in security prices.
In the middle of the year the movement
halted, daily transactions on the stock
exchange were reduced to minimum
and many shrewd observers thought
that the decline was over. But the fall
was resumed again later on when the
banks began to feel the pressure of the
regular autumnal demands for money.
and there is no necessity to repeat in
detail what followed afterward. 1t can
be truly said, however, that at no time
in the financial history of the land has
a greater strain been felt than that of
the last few months. and that it is ex-
ceedingly doubtful if any such strain
could have been imposed upon any other
financial quarter of the world without
causing more disastrous results than
were witnessed in our own country.
The pressure has been largely concen-
trated upon the single city of New York.
