Excess this year over -, - sss4 Fg,..,.s
average. ...........1, ,174 3,730, 900
The number Of failures, it viii be seen, is
unusually large, but the amount Of Iiabili-
ties is little in excess Of the average Of The
three previous years. The failures, the
circular says, sare largely the result of
previous misiortunes, with which the trade
of the past three monthssis not ellargeable.
The effects of the panic Of 1873, or rather
Of the excesses Of which that was the climax
are seen in a great number of the casualties
included in the foregoing figures. Certain
II the increase III the amount of liabilities
is traceab1e to the attempt, on the part of
some of the heaviest houses who have sue
cumbed, to float themselves along by in
creasing their obligations, and otherwise
postponing the evil day, in the hope of a
revival Of business aud a return Of better,
times, when their assets would become
more realizabler Then it must be borne
in mind that just such period as this tests
very severely the stability Of all whose af-
fairs are at all expanded, while those whose
claims to credit rest only. on previous repu-
tation, and who have only the shell or poor
remains Of lost or diminished fortunes, are
utterly unable to withstand the searching,
realizing spirit Of the day, The times are
unfayorable to such as these, and tile CON
sequences are to be seen in largely IN
creased list Of failures and heavier liabili-
ties than in the average Of years. Depart
ure from legitimate business principles,
perhaps in former years, or even Of more
recent occurrence, is q cause to which not
few Of the failures Of the last quarter can
be traced, and these results are more prop
erly ehargeable to the indiseretion Of indi-
yiduals, or their want Of Judgment, than to
sslisorganized on unsafe conditiono Of trade.
