First-clas Risk, or to would be due, they would have got in their orops, the extent of £18,000 on Adjoining Riska at and a person who previously sowed 300 acres of Eurrent Rates corn, now kowed 1,000. Ia ane notable instance, a proprietor who had been coutons to sow 2,000. nerea, farmed a lot of lund, in addition to bio town, and actually ploughed and sowed in ona season 15,000 seres. Shopkeepers enlarged their Brooke threefold. Houses sprang opererywhere, which in turn were mortgaged at the land banka. Reate wore doubled; crèdit been antiquited; and ara of apparent, universal pro sperity, Parties trading With their own capital were undernold by speculatore trading with hauk money, riching ovarything, and living in, to then, saprecedented luxury. As badling in this country was unknown, there were no port- fatio billa on heal. The lanka must, however, invest their capital, and, as they gave intarea on deposits, mast employ the balanse at their disposal so a to realise that interest and a profit for themselves; thus credits were opened, and Pisaroky aigned a bill for Spuskio, and Spuskin another for Pisaraky; or, if Pisarsky and Spuskin were well kuna, they might get their coached to sign their bills, which were at once discounted.

This inflation was stopped by the occurrence of three bad crops.

The commercial banks, whose prin- cipal occupation now is renewing or prolonging old bills, have bear plated by the State Bank, and will be able to make way tiil the probable reault of the barvest of 1574 is known.
