ON THE DOWN GRADE.
Failures the Past Year i'm the
Northwest.

r. G. Dun d Co. have just issued their
annual statement of business failures,
with statistics showing the number and
statement of the amount of liabilities
and a comparison of each of the past six
years. They claim that
''The failures for the year just closed
throughout the United States exceed in num-
Der by large percentage those of any other
previous year, being 12,273. This is an eX-
cess over 1899 of 1866 Notwithstanding this
increase in number, however, the liabilities
--SlS9 QO00O0-in amount are almost pre-
eisely the same as i'll 1890 exceeding the total
of that year by only a few thousand
dollars The average Indebtedness of each
failure is reduced from SIT, ,406 in 1896, to
Sl5,4ll in 1891. The geographical distribution
of the liabilities is somewhat remarkable,
as will be seen by an examination of the ta-
Bile; the most marked change is, that in the
Middle and Eastern states the liabilities
show decline of about $4,000, ,O09 while the
liabilities in the Southern states show an in
crease from S27,O00,0 900 to Si5,000,0C0. We
continue the tabulated statement of the fail
ures. which has become of extreme value
because of the many years which have
elapsed since il was first established, ana be-
cause of the comparisons which now can be
instituted.
A compartive statement of the fail
ures and the amount of liabilities in the
past three years show most gratlfy-
ing decrease. The liabilities in the
failures of 1891, are about one-half as
great as in 1889. and considerably less
than one-half as great as in 1890. The
following, taken from the report, shows
comparison of the failures and liabil-
tiles in the states of Minnesota, North
Dakota and South Dakota the past three
years. A gratifying decrease in the
magnitude Of liabilities is also shown
in the Dakotas. This condition is es-
pecially gratifying in the three states
named, when it is remembered that the
country have largely increased in num-
Der and the Liabilities have not de-
creased.
