Trade Embarrassments During the
Past Week-A Slight Increase in the
Southern States.

Trade Embarrassments During the
Past Weck-A Slight Increase in the
Southern States.
The feature OF the week in commercial
circles has been the large failures in the
cloth and clothing trades in the order
named: Bronner 4 Co.. Siedenbaeh,
Schwab & Co.. F. Mayer & Co. and Levy
Brothers d Co. These failures hinged one
upon another on account Of the close re-
Iations of the firms and their exchange Of
paper. They were virtually the result OF
trying to carry on such an enormous and
extended business in that way and the
locking up Of surplus capital in real es-
tate which. although valuable, could not
be made Immediately available to meet
the emergency. Outside of these failures
there were none elsewhere Of any great
importance. There were sixteen failures
in the United States reported TO
BrddsireecS during the past week, thirteen
less than the preceding week, nine less
than the corresponding week OF 1857 and
81 more than the same week Of 1881. Com

If we consider the responsible situations

annual meeting Of the Old Colony Rail-

to employ no person who used intoXlcat-

step iii the right direction. bluch excite
ment was caused some time since by
examinations for color blindness among
locomotive engineers and other railway
employees, Many Of the mosp reliable en-

If strict temperance were enforced there

that in the manufacture of every pound
