Ie.c Tor1 Times. Jan. 10.
The annual circular Of Dun, Barlow g. Com
pany's Mercantile Agency gives the total mum.
bcr OF failures in the United States during the
year 1878 is TO- 47S with total liabilities amount
ing to l.3S5, 152. In 1877 the total failures
were S,S1, with liabilities reaching $780, GO 93a
Tuis increase OF 1G0G failures in the past year
accounted for By the fact that circumstances
during the year were ''peculiarlg Influential in
encouraging casualties OF this character" These
circumstances are given as six In number: ~
1878 was the fifth year OF a depression unpar-
alIclct III character, extent, and duration.
C3} Unreasonable weather during the first
<luarterof the year materially restricted sales
and collections, causing good deal OF embdr-
rassncnt, f3) Business was materially re-
strctei during the first half OF the year by
te monetary discussions in and out OF Can
grcss. together with d possibility Of cbansesi in
the 1arlll, which created doubt and uncertsatT
Us to the future a. An enormous shllDkasv
was c:.lsed by general and permanent decllau
in values all oyer the world, greater than ever
beinre in similar period (5} The yeliow fever
endemic i'll tue South caused u yast material
loss from the forced suspension Of labor and
business. (6} Fhe abolition of the Bankrupt
law, aud the long delay permitted to eapsc BE-
fore Its repeal, nan more to do with the IN
crease OF failures than any other circumstance
Regarding tic outlook for the luture. the cir
culal says: u It is significant that ont OF the
six leading circumstances enumerated as con-
rr1butinr To- failures during tie year five no
longer exist. In the room OF these disturbing
clclncnts other favorable conditions are
present, w;lic.l ought III the immediate future
to so much improve business asro make tho
decrease Of failures in 1870 much more nlaraed
than tie increase OF lS7S.'' The most impos-
tant oi THESE favorable conditions is the re-urn
to specie c-:,ayneuts without ripple OF disturb
anee in the business world. Another is the fact
that values nave reached level lower than tie
nu!d standard in normal times, without which
no marked prosperity would have been posi-
Tile. Il third Indication Ut the approach OF bet
Ter t;1,,cs is the prosperity OF tue vast cIas5
who till the soil, while fourth favorable feat
1lre is the changing character OF the industries
