MONEY. MONEY, WHO'S
GOHHE
Banks and Business Houses Keenly Feeling
the Shortage in Currency. . No Panic
Probable," However.    ..   ,
.There is no.denying the fact that
the operations . of the New York
stock gamblers have seriously effected the money market, so far as
it concerns the immediate' delivery
of currency.' Local batiks and produce dealers are already feeling the
conditions, and results that may
be fully as disastrous a s those
of the last panic. The conditions
today are, however,, different from
those of th*. panic ot '93. Prices
seem, to hold reasonably high, labor
is omployed at good wages and the
demand continues excellent. The
entire cry seems to.be, "Where is
the currency?"
Cashier Sutherland, of the Clare
county Bavings bank, gives his view
of the%ituation and of the causes
which baive l0d to the present stringency, asfollows: "The banks * are
lending no aid pr encouragement to
the present condition, in fact every
bank of standing in Michigan is do-
ibg its utmost to avoid thai condition whice the people seem to look
upon as inevitable. There is bo
shortage of money in the country,
and tbe only reason for the present
situation Js the result of conditions
in the east, whioh have come about
from reasons well known to every
reading person," The immediate
condition |s entirely attributable to
the decision of a large number of
our farmers and smaller dealers
to keep their ourrency at home. I
would gamble that if the privilege
might be granted me to make a
careful search of the homes of
Clare county I could find 8100,000
stowed away under the beds,'behind
tbediessers and in other out-of-the
way places. There is nothing in
the present situation which should
alarm the farmers and business
men, if those holding the currency
will place it where it can be utilized
to carry on the demands of business
A financial system which permits
and makes possible this condition
of affairs is peculiar, but the condition exists and there is nothing to
be gained by howling 'Calamity'
and keeping the currency of the
natioD stored in the family stocking bag."
Cashier Sutherland informs The
Courier this morning that advices
from the Citizens Savings Bank, of
Detroit, are to effect that currency
is again plentiful, all orders will be
honored.
A Saginaw bank this morning expressed the savings bank a large
quantity of currency without order,
which indicates that the supposed
alarming condition is without foundation. The Citizens bank also reports equally as satisfactory a condition with reference to currency,
hence whatever alarm which might
have been felt in this vicinity has
been dispelled.

OVER THE HILLS
TO THE POOR HOUSE.
Wiiiiam Jt Brown, After Three Days in
County House, Passes to His Eternal Rest.
the
For more "than twenty years William A. Brown, strove to. make for
himself a competence, and the best
days of his life were spent In the
vicinity of Clare. ' He owned different farms in tlie community immediately east of the city, and, for
a time appeared to be accumulating
sufficient property to provide for
his needs in declining years. He
reared a large family, seven children
now living. Troubles of various
character in his later years seemed
to have partially unbalanced his
mind, aud his children found him a
burden. His last illness was of
connparatively recent date arid the
old man had no place to call a home.
He temporarily stayed with Mr. and
Mrs. S, J. Ramey, -Of Vernon, but
the burden was greater than reason
could expect a friend to" assume,
and last Saturday Mr. Brown was
Bent to the county house at Harrison. Tuesday morning he died,
without a friend of his former days
or a relative present. The remains
were brought to Clare on Wednesday and were interred yesterday at
Cherry Xirove
The conditions surrounding the
demise of this old man are such as
to make humanity wonder whether
there is such a thing as filial affecr
tion left, and. whether there is-arty
wonder that after a life of activity
many lose interest in and desire
for further existence.

It is devoutly to be hoped that the
florists will not grow richer because
a large number of Clare and Isabella sportsmen havo gone north in-
search of venison, but should any
of them return accompanied by
.mourning friends it will not be because of the carelessness of their
companions. Two parties left Clare
on Monday evening, bound, for
Kenneth, Mackinac county, and they
will remain for several* days. The
parties-are as follows:
