the bottle back, and while Bridget
held the rope, proceeded to pour it on

and away dashed the infurated ho

Poor Pat stood fora moment breath

COMMERCIAL CREDIT OF THE
STATES. The usual statistics of COM
mercial credit for the whole of the
United States, for 1870, have just been
published. They show an increase
OF fully 25 per cent. in the number of
failures, and a increase of nearly 20
per cent. in the amount OF liabilities,
compared with last years. Neither
the number of failures nor the
amount of liabilities is alarming,
compared with such years as 1857 and
lSGl, but they materially exceed the
average of other years, and are, be-
sides noteworthy as showing II steady
Increase for several years past. The
largest proportionate increase i'm any
State of Importance is found In Cali
iornia (nearly three hundred per
cent, no doubt mainly due to the
bursting of overblown real estate
bubbles. Throughout the Southern
and South western States the in-
crease is especially heavy (nearly one
hundred per cent only Kentucky
and Virginia showing a decrease. In
New England, both Massachusetts
and New Hampshire show an inn
proved state of credit, and New York
State, including the city, likewise
| present u healthy decrease. The
West shows, on the whole, mode
rate increase in failures. But the two
States which give the character to
the whole tables are Ohio and Penn
sylvania, in which the increase has
been very large, these two alone be-
ing responsible for fully one-half OF
the total increase throughout the
whole Of the United States.
