Tlio revelations made by (lib dotallcil
statements regarding tho lossos nnd
consequent failure of tho Bank of Glas
gow' aro such as (0 mnko tho "wild
cat" banking on this sldo tho Atlantic
seem venial indeed. Tho London
Timet characterizes tlio story set forth
in tho report as "one of the most dis
graceful in tho history of banking, and
all tho moro dlsgracoful becnuso of tho
fact that tho Hcandalnnd crime occurred
in professedly tho most religious city
iu tlio most religious country in tlio
world." It appears that tho accounts
of tho bank havo been dellboratoly
falsified, securities entered at fictitious
values, nud tlio very gold which should
havo been held against tho noto Issuo
squandered to tlio extent of nearly
11 million do'hirs. For falsifying tho
returns to the Government tho bunk'ts
olllcer.s are, under tho laws of Great
Britain, llablo to criminal punlshtuotit.
Tho losses, on what 800111.1 n favorable
estimate, will uggregato $:il,0o0,000,
which must bo mado good by nn as
sessment upon the shareholders. Tho
effect of tho failure on Scotch trade is
exceedingly dlBiistrous, nnd ulrendy
tho operations of 11 considerable num
ber of Industrial concerns havo boon
stopped iu consequence. At Inst ad
vices it was thought that 11 gonoral
financial panic would bo avoided, Tlio
occurrence of such a dlsastor, as afford
ing room font lessening of man's faith,
iu man, is n cause for world-wldo ro-
