R. G. Dun & Cos Report.

New York, July 5.-R G. Dun &
Co, in their Weekly Review Of
Trade, tomorrow will say: There
were 6,657 commercial failures in the
first half Of 1895, against 7,03e in
the first half of 1894, and 6,40l in
the first half of 1898 These com
mercial failures involved liabilities of
SIS, ,S39, ,944 this year against SlOl.-
739, ,306 last year and Sl6S,S64, ,444
in 1898.
The details show a decrease in
every class of failures in the second,
compared with the first quarter Of
1895, both in number and magnitude,
the defaulting liabilities averaging
S34 against $40 for every firm in
business and S3.04 for every 81 900
solvent payments.
The midsummer reports from all
commercial ce,.. res are of especial in
terest, covering IL. questions on
which the future business depends.
They indicate distinctly better crop
prospects than other official or COM
mercial accounts, a marked increase
in retail distribution of products, an
active demand for goods and a general
enlargement of the working force,
with some advance in the wages of
more than half million hands. At
the same time they show that the

That Aiken Middle.
The Statement of The Comp
troller General.

Comptroller General Norton has re-
turned from Aiken where be has re-
Gently been to make his annual settle
ment with the county officials. and to
examine the condition of affairs in that
county. The reeult Of this examination
has been awaited with interest. in view
of the recent preseutmeut of the grand
jury of the county.
Mr.. Norton says that be found that
there are irregularities 10 the Office OF
the county commissioners, such as let
ticg contracts for roads, bridges, etc.
He does not, however, think that there
has been any beoe6s accruiog to the
individual members Of the board he
saws that it is also true that the ex-
penses of the county show an increase
of s., 900 or $4,000 over the expenses
of last year aud previous years. While
this is true. he says. the county COM
missiooers are not entirely responsible
for it, and comparison of the ex-
penses for the years previous to this
wear shows that the county commits
siouers had speus 20 money for the
construction OF roads and bridges.
This part of their duty had been neg
lec.ed aud 6nally it became public
necessity this year to begin the work.
This required an expenditure which
seems to indicate that the present COM
missiouers have spent more than they
ought to have done. The main increase
in the expenditures is to be found in
the court expenses. owing to the IN
crease of the D1u,ber of criminal cases,
and the money that had to be paid
witnesses and jurors. 1t was something
tha. could not be helped.
Iu regard to the charge of the grand
iary that Supervisor Sawyer had used
public funds to pay his private debts.
Mr.. Norton says that Sawyer did pay
some private debts on claim he had
against the county for money owed
him.
As to the charge of forgery against
Sawyer, Mr.. Norton says Sawyer did
sign the name Of Major Champion, the
CLERK of the board to certificate ie
Champion was sick and needed the
money, but be did it 10 the presence Of
the board, and with the boards con-
sent.
The Coup,rollcr states further 'ba.
so far as bis investigation weot, there
was no politics in the report of the
grand jury. Il was composed of twelve
Reformers aud five Conservatives, and
the special committee which iuvest-
gate: all these things was composed
Of ,aree Refoymers aud two Conserva-
tives.
While the irregularities are apparent,
Mr.. Norton says he believes that there
has been DO defalcatiop. and the lrreg-
alarities have resulted from lack of
knowledge Of the Law more than any
thing else
