In connection with the failure of the Australian Mercantile Loan and Guarantee Company, the following from Queensland ia perhaps one of the saddest cases of misplaced confidence that haa to be chronicled. Early in December of laat year an old lady living at Moorooba, near Rooklea, placed £1150 at fixed deposit in the bank for 12 montha at 8 per cent., and received in return a receipt form of the bank. Seeing the recent telegrams she came into Brisbane and made application to the manager for her money. It was, however, represented to her that the bank waa in a perfectly safe condition, and that there was in Queensland more money than would be sufficient to cover all the liabilities here. On the atrength of these and other assurances and representations the lady agreed to allow her money to remain in the bank. A few daya later, however, her anxiety increased and Bhe again put in an appearance and demanded her deposit. Her request was met by promises, and up to the present she has received nothing at all. The £1150 may be said to represent the lady's entire wealth.
