The semi-aDnusl statement, by Messrs. Duu,
Barlow & Co, of the number of failures in
this country. With the total amount of labili-
ties show that from the 1st of January to the
Both of June 1877 failures were reported, with
a total of liabilities of S74, $40 500. No detailed
statistics for the same period have been pre-

The morning star and Catholic messenger. [volume] (New Orleans [La.]) 1868-1881, 1875-07-25

(The fgures of Messrs. Dun, Barlow & Co.'S
circular, 10y the way, if correctly added up. give
$3.50 as the real number of failures) While,
therefore, there is q considerable increase in
the number of insolvents, as there has been
every year since 1872, the total amount of La
Lilties is less than for the same period last
year and below the average for the four sea
sons. partial explanation for this fact
though the circular does not state it, may pos
sIbly be found in the Grange movement, which
has taken a large amount of retail business
from the country dealers and transferred it to
Wholesale houses in the cties.
