FAILURES IN 1877.


List year was very prolific of financial
embarrassments. The number of fail
ures was S,S72, against 1902 10 1876, but
the number of firms reported had di-
minished so that the ratio of failures to
firms reported was in 10. In 1876 it
was in 80; in 1876 it ives / in 49, IN
1874 it was / in los; in 1878 it was ! in
los. In amount of liabilities, the fail
ures of 1877 foil little short of those of
1876, for the aggregate was only $780,
G69,936, but in average liabilities to
each firm the year was more dis
astrous than the one preceding; the
average was $2l ,49l TO each firm, against
$2l, 900 in 1876. The annual circular Of
Messrs. DUNN, BARLOW IL Co, which
gives these statements as TO the number
of failures, adds very conclusive evil
dence that they do not depend upon the
amount of bank circulation. 1t shows
that tho Eastern States, with only 11,12l
firms in business and q national bank
circulation Of sl12,67S,336, or s.. 460 to
each trader, report l 353 failures, pro-
portion of / TO IS But the
Western States, with 23l, 557 firms
in business and bank cir
culation Of only $65,l9iS8l, or
only s2sl to each trader, report very
much smaller ratio of failures, namely
2,75G, or TO 81. The Middle States,
with 224,707 firms in business and Sll2,-
Sll,9l3 in bank circulation, or S547 to
each trader, report S,Cig failures, or in
-, while the Southern States, with o.
7S2 firms in business and S2S, 53l ,O2G
in bank circulation, or only S256 to
esch trader, report smaller ratio OF
failures, namely, 1913, or in. So If
failures occur throughout 1878 as fire.
Quontly as they have thus far this year
the number will DO double those OF 1878
L; is 10 be hoped tina. they will not.
