EVERYTHING is CHEAP.
Prices OF Commodities Are the Lowest Eve
Known.

Rrlceh OF commodities Are the Lowest Ever
Known.
NEW YORK, Jan. 5--R G. Dun Il Co. $
weekly review says today: Failures for
1884 are fully reported this week being
l3 SS5 in the United States and 1856 in
the Dominion of Canada. Liabilities in
the United States were sl72, 992. $50 and
in Canada $17,6l6,215 Neither the de-
crease of over half in this country nor the
increase Of over 10 per cent in Canada is
surprising, but the statement shows that
most Of the decrease in the United States
is in manufacturing liabilities, while the
entire increase in Canada is in liabilities
Of trading concerns
A few states, including New York and
Pennsylvania, show more failures than in
1898, and in few southern states the
amount Of liabilities is larger, but in cen
tral and western states very much smaller
In II Of the last 3S years reported liabili-
ties have been larger than in 1894, though
for this year and 1893 the statement is
confined TO commercial failures, as it was
not in former years. The failures have
been 1875 in every ] 200 firms doing busl-
ness. The liabilities have averaged S13e. a
to each firm in trade. and in proportion to
the volume Of solvent business represented
by all clearing house exchanges 81. SO for
every 81, 600.
The complete review Of different branch
es Of business given today places in clear
light the fact that prices of commodities
are at the lowest level ever known. Eight
years ago in July prices averaged only
1859 per cent Of the prices for the same
articles and in the same markets Jan 1.
1860, and this remained the lowest point
ever touched until Aug. 10, 1898, when
the average fell to 1876, but early this
year prices dropped below all previous rec
ords and have never recovered the average
Dec. 26 being only ss7 73 per cont Of The
prices in 1860 The range was very little
higher at the end Of the year and about
as low Oct. %. The fall since year age
has been 514 per cent, but very unequal

TaIIsIng of RetaIlatIon.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.--The tariff war
waging on America by several European
nations engaged the attention Of the cabi-
net meeting for some time. The position
occupied by our government just at this
moment is rather difficult. BY direction
of the president Minister Taylor has
threatened the Spanish government with
retaliation for its discrimination against
American imports. Yet to carry out this
threat and at the same time bo consistenr
similar action with respect 60 Germany
and Belgium and other offending Euro
pean countries would have to follow, and
the pressure from our beef trade to pre-
vent such retaliation and secure our ends
by a repeal Of the sugar bounty duty is so
great that the president is reluctant to
enter upon tariff war until congress has
signiiied its desire, and as a result Of this
discussion 1t may be that the attention OF
that body may be again drawn to this
subject. The currency question was not
discussed in any Of its phases. nor was
there any reference to a special message to
congress upon the subject.
