FAILURES FOR 1892.



10 Remarkably Favorable.
New YORK, Doc. 30-The number of
failures occurring in tho United States in
tue year 1892, as reported by X. G.. Dun &
Co., and Russell 81 Co., the mercantile
agency, is 10 S44 being a less number than
in any year since 1885, aud showing q dii-
ference In favor OF the present year com
pared with 1891 of 2O29.
The indebtedness OF failures fer the past
year also -shows marked decrease, being
STA, 600, 900 in 1899, against Sle9. 000 OOC
in 1871 and similar amount In 1890. The
largely augmented number OF trades and
the enormous increase in transactions in the
year render these figures very significant.
Only one in every ll5 traders in the United
States suocumbsd in 1898, as against one in
every 80 In 1891 aud one in every lO2 in
1891. The average liability of failures in
last year was $1,000, being the Lowest
average reported since 1878.
