. I Lov

I have the honour to inform you that in view of the present exceptional stringency in the money market of the Colony, a representative meeting was held in this Chamber on Monday the 14th instant to consider the numerous requests received from various commercial guilds and the many merchants of the Colony to devise means to avoid a financial ruin which is now threatening the Colony. A resolution was unanimously passed to petition to the Government for the issuance of Treasury Bonds to relieve the suitation.

It was expressed at the meeting that since the Strike began the commerce of the Colony was affected to an enomous extent and concurrently a shortage was felt in

the money market. At first the aspect was viewed at as

a temporary effect on account of the strike and the

suffering of the people were but momentary. But as time

went on, things began to look more serious. Three months

have now elapsed and no indication of a settlement is yet

in sight. The alaming financial situation is gradually

assuming a serious aspect. The stagnation of trade and

commerce is going from bad to worse. Owners of property

and mercandise are experiencing tremendous difficulties

in obtaining mortgages to meet their obligations. depositors are pressing their bankers for withdrawal of

their deposits while demands on purchasers to take delivery

of their goods are as vivid as wild-fire. But so far,

owing to the money stringency, no solution is possible.

This is largely attributed to the many recent reports

concerning the auction of property and the increasing

bankruptcy of Business Houses.
