Calamity at Johnstown Impacts Markets and Trade
The Johnstown disaster ripples through Pennsylvania, Maryland, New York and the Virginias, halting production and disrupting coal, iron, steel, lumber, and building trades. Bridges and rail lines damaged, mine output cut, prices firming in iron and steel, coal limited, and widespread business losses noted. Gold exports continue, currency notes shift from treasury to silver certificates, with May currency outside the Treasury down significantly.
