The opening of the market
at Asheville Wednesday was
'' attended by a large number of
people. A large section on
Valley Street, on which the
' market is located, had its
parking space occupied
throughout a large portion of
the day by automobiles of
tefeht-seers and onlookers, as
weH as trucks of tobacco. The
large floor space was well fill

stand the actual selling was

account of so many people be

the fact that the packing

been fully completed. How
ever, some who received their
checks were well pleased with

many people present from all

The closing of 139 banks in
the course of a couple of
weeks looked like a pretty ser
ious matter, but nearly all of
proclaimed they were
solvent and were merely sus
i pending to stop unreasonable
runs on them by nervous de
I positors. The financial trou
ble broke out principally in
'the South and Midwest, and
for a while more than 20
banks a day were closing their
doors most of them in small
towns.
The thing got started seri
ously with the failure of Cald
well and Co., a big investment
banking concern of Nashville,
and the failure of its subsidi
ary, the Bank of Tennessee,
in which $2,000,000 in state
funds were deposited. Other
banks in Tennessee conected
with the Caldwell concern,
and containing several million
dollars of state and county
money, also suspended. The
trouble then spread to the
neighboring states of Arkan
sas, Kentucky, IHinois and
North Carolina where banks
were either connected with
the Caldwell concern or sus
pected of such connection. Ar
kansas was especially hard hit
with the closing of the big A-
merican Exchange Trust Co.,
of L'ittle Rock, and the Nation
al Bank of Arkansas at Pine
Bluff, together with more than
50 smaller banks throughout
the state. These banks de
nied having any connection
with Caldwell and Co., claim
ed they were solvent and pre
pared to reopen in a short
time. Of the 15 Kentucky
banks that closed officials de
clared most of them were sol
vent, and that their resources
amounted to more than $100,-000,000.
To help restore confidence
Governor Black of the Atlan
