The day was called of unsettlement." Money had something to do with it.

Time loans, for a definite period. were made at the rate of 9 per cent and even higher. When bankers and others can lend money on safe security at 9 per cent, or even for as high as 15 per cent, they will not bother with 6 per cent bonds for building or other industrial work.

A talented American actress decides that she must play Shylock, and dces, in London. Critics say that her false whiskers are not convincing. The young lady probably will die convinced that she is a great, unappreciated Shylock.
