The great staples of the South were in active demand at remuner- ating prices. The manufacturing interests of the North were under a cloud, it is true, but they had long been in that condition, and it excited little remark. The shipping interest, since the termination of the Crimean war, had been scarcely paying its way ; but that, too, was an old story. In short, the whole country, on the morning of the last 24th of August, felt satisfied with itself and confident of its future. The following ...are the prices at which some of the leading stocks were sold at the New York Stock Exchange on that day : N. Y. Central, 77 J ; Erie, 28 ; Reading, 66 ; Michigan Central, 76J ; Panama, 90; Illinois Central, 106 ; Dela- ware and Hudson Canal, 114^; Park Bank, 102; American Exchange Bank, 110. We now present the subsequent events in the form of a brief DIARY OF DISASTER. Aug. 24th, 1857. Failure of the Ohio Life and Trust Company was an- nounced. A few days before, its stock had sold at 102, and it had declared a semi-annual dividend of 5 per cent.
