THE FAILURES or THIS YEAR.
A MARKED INCREASE IN NUMBER AND LIABILITIES
OVER 1881.

OVER 1851.
The Mercantile Agency of r. G. Dun a. Co.
publish promptly the figures OF failures for the first half
Of 1882 closing yesterday The total number Of failures
reported NewYork by their various branch offices
1897 compared with 2,S62 for the first six months
of 1881. The Liabilities for the six months just closed
$50 900 600 against 900 for the correspond
ing period of The percentage Of increase there
fore, both In number and amount OF failures, equals 20
per cent III regard to these figures the circular OF the
agency remarks as follows:
Although the failures exhibit considerable increase
In number and amount the figures reached are yet so
prOpOronaey limited that they furnish no real ground
Tor apprehension. Judged by the comparisons which
possible with previous years, both in number of
casualties and in the amount OF Liabilities, the figures
indcae soundness OF trade in proportion to its extent
in the main satisfactory Thus, in 1878 the
failures for the first half OF the year were 5S25, with
liabilities of $3.50 600 OOOan increase OF 20 per cent
the year previous. For the first half OF 1879 the
failures were 4O5S, with liabilities OF $6o,OOOOOO
subsequently, in 1880 aud 1884, the failures fell TO very
moderate figures, 2497 and 2S62 respectively, but
this because the storm mad spent ITSELF aud because
trade had become restricted to very narrow mits now
however, the figures for the past half VI the present year
amount to 1891
The condition of trade reflected by the failures that
have occurred is nted ON in the following manners
In view of the enormous increase in transactions which
the eighteen months have Witnessed the high prices
which have been touched for almost every species OF
propery and ABOVE all the speculative excesses which
prevailed toward the close OF 1881, 1t .ious
revelation OF the strength and stability OF the trade OF
1t must be borne in mind tnat the number
engaged in business has greatly increased our own
records show that there were 100000 persons in bust

strength the middle hours by feverishness that

Ijouidation of the speculation of the early hours
and resulted in declines which generally wiped out
the early gains and in instances carried prices

n market the stocks that were at all active
became conspicuous. Reading $4,000 shares) and
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western $4,000
sharesD and both hall stocks were the only two that
contributed as many 10000 shares to the days
business and therefore were the two prominent
stocks in the days transactions Delaware, Lack
awanna and Western opened at 1878, rose to 1888
and then closed firm at 1878 Reading early sold
at 5s3s05 $3.50 and later at 5G056is Concerning
the special weakness of Reading, il seems that all
the brilliant things predicted for it by Mr.. Gowen
