ring in the United States and Canada where the

whose destructiveness was between $4,000 ana
s10,Ol0 each. there were 81; there were 20 where

y rSeen $50 900 and $50 600; 20 between $4,000 and

During the first half of this year there were
i97 failures in the United States the Liabilities
citing up sj0,5s0g2l: The Canadian fail
numbered 81, the liabilities amount
i.s TO s41l6,570. For the cores
bonding period of 1851 the total number OF fail
ures in the United States was 2,Sj2, and the
amount of liabilities was si0S77, 1850. Although
the figures indicate some increase in the number
OF failures in the amount of liabilities, yet the
difference Is so slight as not to furnish any real
ground of apprehension. In 1873 the failures
for the first six months were 5S2j, and the LA
bilities footed up about $780, geo 000 In the same
part of 1879 the liabilities were only half as
much and in 1880 and 1851 they were still less
This was partly due, however, TO the fact that
the force OF the nard times had been already felt
TO its full extent aud had broken down weak
firms before 1850 and 1851 The present proper
ton OF failures may be regarded rs that likely
to be maintained In a healthy state OF trade In
1878 the failures average one 10 every ~ men or
firms engaged in business; In 1852 they are not
more than in lbs Most OF the failures now oc-
curing are due to some assignable cause and
not TO any general depression in trade.
