The total for 1885 shows a net in
crease of about twelve per cent. upon
the failures for 1884. But these official
figures only tell us of the cases that oc-
Cured through the Court of Bankrupt
cy. There is no way of arriving at
any reliable statistics of the many
other actual failures that have
happened during the year. Not
only has there been an increase in
the private arrangements effected with
creditors, but also in regard to county
court administrations. Then there is
that large class Of cases where debtors
simply drop through, or run away, or
get work as j%ourneymen, but which arc
nevertheless equally failures, and equally
bad for their creditors. 1t is useless
when we remember these facts merely to
compare the figures in bankruptcy for
1885 with those Of 1882 or 1888, and say
there is a decrease. There has been no
falling off in the totals of failures, and
these simply prove that many ~insolvent
debtors have privately arranged with
their creditors or have done without, as
the cheap system of liquidation was
taken away, and they could not afford
the more costly present plan. It must,
moreover, be borne in mind that every
new bankruptcy act has had the appa-
rent effect of cutting down the totals of
failures. The act of 1869 did this, as
our comparative total shows, and the
fact that those totals rose again did not
prove IN actual increase of insolvency,
but rather that debtors grow more used
to the new law, as they doubtless will to
that of 1SS3.-Kemp's Mercantile Ga

MONTREAL, Can, April 22.-The greatest
excitement prevails all over the province
on the fact becoming current that defal.
cation OF OVERSIZE, 900 had been discovered
in the Crown Lands department at

was embezzled by Mr.. Ga4e, who had charge
OF the department for,sthirty years, and
who died lately in Philadelphia. where he
absconded to when his defalcations were
found out. Deceased confessed on his
death-bed that he had appropriated the
whole amount in the past three years and
lost 1T in speculations on stock-exchange.
Deceased's estate will only reimburse the
Government $40, 0D0, and this is adj that
will ~ recovered.
