9,299 mercantile failures in the United
States during the past nine months as
reported to Bradstrcct's, only forty
eight more than in tho like period Of
last year, which coincidence is paral.
leled by tho total amounts of assets
and liabilities Of failing traders this
year being substantially the samo
as in tho like period ono year
ago. Tho feature Of the failure
record for the nine months lies in the
relatively large number reported in
tho first quarter Of tho year, since
which the totals have fallen of from

northwest and on the Pacific coast
there are fewer.

temetre Honotofia guns; two seven
oentemotre guns and two rapid fire

tended for the smaller patrol vossels Of

tailed men ashore.
The station of tho Cristcbal Colon

Of Cuba, her commander having par
