Co., commercial agency, make the fol-
lowing report Of failures on the Paci c
Coast during the three quarters epding
September 30: California, 1858; Arizona,
Is; Nevada, a. Oregon. 1853; Washing
ton Territory, lie. In commenting on
the figures the Bailstin says: Great
stress has been laid in trade circles over
the loss of the northern trade since the
opening of the Northern Pacific Rail.
road by which portions of Oregon
and Washington Territory have
been placed in direct rail con-
nection with the Atlantic States.
So far this has not been attended with
all the benefits expected. The same
thing has happened at the north that
happened in California upon the COM
pletion of its first overland railway con-
nections. The event was discounted some
time in advance by overlrading with
the inevitable result which always fol-
lows that sort Of thing. Oregon and
Washington Territory have been passing
through similar experience in
the past year. Markets there have
been glutfed with eastern mer.
chandize. The heavy stocks car
ried ut the north have been in excess
OF the demand. The difficulty in get
ting rid OF these stocks at profit and
for cash have brought trouble upon the
Oregon and Washington Territory mer-
chants. While the number Of failures
in California this year is IA per cent.
larger than last year, in Oregon there
has been an increase OF 208 per cent. and
in Washington Territory 2l4 per cent.
