In statistics compiled Dy the Brad
street Company of the business fail
ures in the United States and Canada
for the year 1890, special stress ap-
pears to be given on the fact that so
large proportion OF the failures are
from the class of traders whose CAPT.
tai was reported at $4,000 or less;
the failures from this class being 1877
per cent. of the total number Of fail
ures reported or II, O35 in a total
list OF failures OF 1920.
The Bradstreet Company say:
when it is recognized that out OF
1,O63,O traders reported, about
100000 or IS per cent of the total
are credited with less than S., 900
capital, a record of 90 per cent OF the
failures from this class (among whom
one fails in every seventy-five) OBJ
tains special significance
With a total of 1 ,O63, 900 reported
in business and 100000 with less
than S., 900 capital there remains
100000 reported with a large CAPT
tai; how many traders there are now
in business that rate from SIS, 900 to
$4,000 or $4,000 to $4,000 and
so on up to million or more, Brad
streets report omits to state; it
gives the number OF failures OF firms
whose capital was reported at 49,
600 and over but not the number OF
concerns in business classified with
reported capital except those having
$4,000 or less. We, therefore, can
not from their report give the per-
centage of failures of those in bust
ness with over s., 900 classed accord
ing to reported capital against those
with less than $4,000, except to
lump the 100000 having over 3d.
900 capital against those who have
that amount or less, and we get the
following result showing the percent
age OF failures of number reported in
business:
100000 traders reported with
$4,000 capital or less, tail
.............................. IL ,Ooo.
Percentage of failures, 1.22.
100000 traders reported
with over $4,000 capital,
failures. .............................. i, ZO4.
Percentage of failures, 10.
1t seems to us from the compara-
lively small difference in failures in
proportion to the numberin business
between those whose capital is S.
900 or less, and those whose capital
is $4,000 and over being less than
half OF one per cent, a table giving
he-number of those in business hav-
ing a reported capital of $4,000 to
and from $4,000 to $780,
900 and up to the highest capital re-
ported would be interesting, and
might show that the small dealers
stands relatively better than is gen.
orally supposed.

ChemioaT National Damk - New

yOUks
In the year 1928 q charter was
granted by the State to the Chemical
Manufacturing Company, with au-
thority to carry on the general
manufacture of chemicals and q linn
tied banking business So STRONG was
the anti-banking sentiment of the Pc
riOd that it would have been an act
OF political felo-de-se for the State Of
ffcers to'have granted the authority
OF the State to- carry on any strictly
banking business. At the expiration
in 1874 of it's charter as q manufac-
turing concern with banking annex,
a reorganization was at once. effect
ed under the general banking laws of
the State, and in 1866 it became a
National bank with a. capital OF
$3OO,00Os From this beginning has
grown what is universally considered
to be the most successful institution
of it's kind of which history furnishes
any record. Let us apply to the
Chemical National Bank any OF the
tests by which the success, giving the
most liberal construction to the
term, of a bank is Judged, and we are
amazed at the showing:
It's surplus is 21K times the
amount OF it's capital, and so
per cent. larger than that OF it's
leading competitor.
FITS increase in surplus during the
year was ~ times it's capital,
and greater than that OF any
other bank.
FITS deposits are 80 times the
amount Of it's capital.
Its loans and discounts are 70
times the amount OF it's capital.
Its dividends each year are X
times it's capital.
Its yearly dividends since it's re-or
ganizatiOn in 1914 have averag
ed annually $178, $50 or 59A per
cent.
Its stock has a book value of q
$50, has sold at 81, $50, and is
now held at S., 900 per share.

The st. Louis Republic never waits to
be driven along the path of progress by
sharp competition, but keeps SO far in the
lead that competition is an impossiblity.
Its first bold and original departure was
the publication of its weekly in tiv'
separate edltions-one for Missouri, one
for illinois, one for Texas, one for Arkan
sas and Kansas, and another for the res
of the union. Next, it made the Weekly
Republican a semi-weekly, issuing it
every Tuesday and Friday, in section OF
six pages each. Then it established a
special tariff department, edited by the
Hon. w. l.. Wilson, one OF the ablest Of
the Democratic leaders in congress. Now,
it announces that each Of these striking
and original features will continue perma
nenily, and, in addition to all this, that
two more pages will soon be added to one
issue each week, SO as to give subscribers
to the "TW ice a-Week" Republican four
teen pages regularly every week for only
$l.0U wear. Besides the special attrac-
tions, which no other paper in the coun-
try can offer, its general merits as news
paper are unequaled. Sample copies
will be sent free to application.
