[Homer_J_Simpson]

[Continued from September 4 (reply #24). ]

September 14. News in town not much, except the money panic, which is farther than ever from relief. Wall Street stocks panting and trembling under a pressure that reminds one of the financial tragedies of 1837. Prophets of evil say that if it last a week longer everything must go down in wreck, that this is but the beginning of trouble, and that a general smash is certainly close at hand. Things look very blue, undoubtedly. There have been several most startling apprehensions of old houses in the best credit; for example, G.H. Swords, and Allen of Providence, whose wealthy manufacturing concerns are brought down by the failure of one of the Swans (!) and will make a very bad show of assets, it is said.
