These were comparatively easy ? and in liberal supply at an average ^ rate of eight per cent. p The reaction in securities conceeded a with similar moves in various com- Cl modities and an extension of the re. s versal in many lines of manufacture, p especially Textiles, Leathers, Rubbers, and kindred staples.
