NEW York, Dec. Or. G.. Dun =
Co.'s Weekly Review Of Trade says:
Commercial failures for 1894 already
reported number IA. 292, against 1872
last year, with liabilities of $l6S. 2ss.
404, against $848,779,8S9 last year
Next week the final report for 1894 will
probably include about 400 more fail
ures, with liabilities Of about $4,000. u
600. From these accounts, banks, bank.
ers, financial and transporting com.
panies are excluded. Manufacturing
failures already number 1859 against
s. .422 last year, but liabilities are only
&64, ,491, 1887, against $l76, 982, ,001 last
year. The trading failures already
number II, ,3l4. against II, 1l2 last year,
but liabilities are only $S7, ,899, ,O57,
against $3.50, ,082, 1888 last year. @
The Statement by Sections
shows q decrease of ala two-thirds in
defaulted liabilities in Pie Middle and
Central Northern states, One.ha In
the West and Southwest, and q third
in other sections "s.@
Holiday trade has met expectations.
Purchases have been numerous, but
smaller than usual in amount and
more confined to needful articles, thus
anticipating ordinary trade. The vol.
ume of business represented by clear
ing house exchanges is ~ per cent
larger than last year, but 2l.8 per cent
less than the year before, and the daily
average for December has been I'll per
cent more than last year, but 25.2 less
than the year before. @
Wheat and Corn Decline. @
Wheat has declined half cent,
though Western receipts have been
only l,7l2,G9S bushels, against 3,l09, S9S
for the same week last year, but since
Aug. receipts have been a little larger
than last year and the visible supply is
the largest known. Corn has declined
three quarters of a cent with good re-,
ceipts. The price Of cotton has not
changed, but the fact that receipts
from plantations this month have been
greater than in 1891, while stocks in
sight here and abroad are larger than
at the same date that year, is an OBJ
stacle to any rise. E

output not likely to exceed $4,000 bar
rels, against 141, 600 in 1893, 100000 in

market is without the first redeeming
feature. Buyers do not care for flour
at any price. Orders booked by Min
neapolis mills last week were not much
more than half the production. The
excess went into store, partly at lake
ports.

Y,982 barrels for the week, against
81, ,837 barrels the proceeding week, and
46, 800 in 1898, and Is, $50 in 1892. The

be any larger. It is impossible to fore
cast what the mills will do in January.
Natural presumption is that they will
run more or less, but unless either
wheat goes down, -four up, or rates de-
